Cielito Lindo Mexican Grill offers a warm, bustling atmosphere and a classic menu that makes any lover of Mexican food feel instantly at home—but for those of us with celiac disease, safety is more of a gamble here than we'd like. While you'll spot naturally gluten-free staples like corn tortillas, tacos, grilled meats, and even some salads (and the rare 'gluten-free corn tortilla' note on an Azteca Tacos menu item), there’s no mention anywhere of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, separate prep areas, or formal cross-contamination training for staff. Honestly, that's a tough pill to swallow if you’ve ever spent a night worrying after a 'safe-sounding' meal. The kitchen works with both flour and corn tortillas, and since items like quesadillas, burritos, and flautas all use wheat-based wraps alongside the corn ones, the risk of gluten mingling is real. If you’re a celiac diner who’s okay with asking a lot of questions and sticking to simple grilled proteins, this could work in a pinch—but don’t expect the peace of mind that comes from true celiac-friendly protocols.
