Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

62%
Moderate

Mama Roja really tries to welcome gluten-free diners, offering a separate gluten-free menu and plenty of staff willing to answer questions. The lakeside view is a treat, but honestly, the kitchen's shared space and lack of a dedicated fryer mean you'll have to stay vigilant—bring your own chips or swap for corn tortillas if you're extra sensitive. Some staff are more clued-in than others, so always (and I mean always) clearly state your celiac needs and double-check how your meal will be prepped. It's a spot where celiacs can find safe-ish options with good communication, but it's not the place for letting your guard down—especially if you react to even tiny traces.
