Celiac Safety Score

Excellent for Celiac

If you're tired of second-guessing every bite, Palenque Restaurante is a breath of fresh air: it's a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen, so celiacs can finally relax and just enjoy real Mexican food without the anxiety. The menu leans on authentic, naturally gluten-free dishes—think corn-based tacos and gooey quesadillas—so you get bold flavors with none of the hidden risk. While there's no separate gluten-free fryer for chips, staff are well-versed in safe prep and clearly flag orders for takeout, which shows they get the stakes for those of us who can't afford cross-contamination. Honestly, it's just such a relief to have a place where you can eat with confidence and maybe even forget, for an hour or two, that you're dining differently than everyone else.
