The Mexican in Dallas feels like a breath of fresh air for celiac diners seeking upscale Mexican cuisine with genuine care. While not a dedicated gluten-free facility, the team stands out for its hands-on allergy protocols—think dedicated gluten-free fryers for those crave-worthy chips, and staff who don’t just know the menu but can walk you through safe options and modifications. I’ve seen celiacs mention allergen specialists who take time at the table, plus servers who patiently flag which tortillas are pure corn (and which aren’t). Honestly, it’s the kind of place where you can feel heard—just make sure to have that detailed conversation with your server, especially during busy times. If you miss having tableside salsa flights and sizzling fajitas without a side of anxiety, this spot makes the experience feel special again.
