La Parada
Celiac Safety Score
La Parada brings the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine front and center, but for celiac diners, the experience is more about navigating risks than savoring every bite. While you'll spot naturally gluten-free staples like corn tortillas and classic meats, there's no mention of gluten-free protocols, separate prep areas, or ingredient transparency on the menu or site. The kitchen is shared—think flour tortillas, breaded proteins, and cross-contact galore—so even a taco on a corn tortilla might carry hidden risks. If you're someone who needs strict gluten avoidance (and let's be honest, most of us do), this isn't the place to let your guard down.
