Antigua Mexican Grill brings classic Mexican comfort to the table, but for those of us living with celiac disease, things get tricky fast. While there are tempting naturally gluten-free dishes like ceviche, guacamole, and cochinita pibil, there’s no mention of dedicated gluten-free preparation areas or staff training in cross-contamination. The kitchen leans heavily on wheat tortillas, flour-based items, and shared fryers—so the risk of gluten mingling where it shouldn't be is pretty high. If you’re hoping for a spot where you can relax without grilling the staff about every detail, this isn’t that haven; extra vigilance and detailed communication will be absolutely necessary here.
