Hugo's

Hugo’s is a vibrant spot for Mexican cuisine, and while their menu leans naturally gluten-free—thanks to the use of corn masa and traditional ingredients—the kitchen isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility. Here’s the thing: some servers have shown impressive menu knowledge, flagging hidden sources of gluten like beer-marinated meats and shared fryers, but staff awareness seems to fluctuate, so clear communication is a must. If you’re celiac, you’ll want to double-check every dish, since cross-contact risks exist (think shared prep areas and fryers), and the lack of a dedicated GF menu adds another layer of ‘read between the lines’ stress. Still, when everything lines up—a knowledgeable server, careful prep—you can enjoy standouts like ceviche, grilled octopus, and that dreamy flan without feeling left out of the celebration.
