Jajaja Mexicana

Jajaja Mexicana is a festive, plant-based haven that’s full of bold Mexican flavors, but when it comes to celiac safety, you’ll want to have a careful conversation with your server. The menu is clearly marked for gluten-free options and staff seem knowledgeable, plus there’s a real emphasis on accommodating allergies—always a relief for those of us who’ve navigated the ‘can I actually eat this?’ anxiety. That said, the kitchen isn’t dedicated gluten-free and there are mixed reports about fryer safety and occasional post-meal reactions among sensitive diners. Honestly, if you’re craving vibrant vegan tacos or empanadas and you’re comfortable discussing cross-contact, this spot can be a fun choice—but it’s not a set-and-forget safe zone for celiacs.
