Celiac Safety Score

55
Moderate Safety

El Coyote’s menu leans hard into New Mexican tradition, with those house-made blue corn tortillas catching every celiac’s eye—but here’s the rub: there’s no clear info on gluten-free safety or cross-contamination protocols. While some dishes naturally avoid gluten (think posole, tacos on blue corn, and steak plates), the kitchen is shared and flour tortillas are all over the place. I love seeing creative uses of blue corn and hominy, but without staff training details or a dedicated prep area, it’s a gamble for sensitive folks. If you’re strictly celiac, you’ll want to ask pointed questions before settling in for that Santa Fe-inspired feast.
