Celiac Safety Score

Moderate Safety

Mexicue certainly brings a bold, inventive flair to Mexican-American fare, but for folks with celiac disease, the picture isn’t nearly as bright. There’s no dedicated gluten-free facility or prep area, and gluten-free options seem to have dwindled—reports now point to lettuce wraps as the main safe-ish choice. Cross-contamination risk runs high, especially since there’s no gluten-free menu, no written protocols, and mixed staff knowledge. If you’re used to navigating shared kitchens and can ask all the right questions, you might manage, but honestly, those of us needing true celiac-safe meals should probably keep searching for a spot that takes safety as seriously as flavor.
