Good for Celiac

Iron Cactus makes gluten-free dining feel like less of a gamble and more of a celebration—especially if you’re tired of having to interrogate every ingredient. Their separate gluten-free menu (online and often available in person), plus a dedicated fryer for chips, set the stage for a genuinely enjoyable meal. Staff are generally well-versed in celiac needs, and substitutions like corn tortillas are standard protocol. But here’s the rub: despite strong training and lots of celiac success stories, there’s still a shared kitchen, so you’ll want to double-check your plate before digging in—mistakes with flour/corn tortillas have happened. For most celiacs, though, the risk is managed enough to finally relax over smoky fajitas or loaded enchiladas without that ever-present pit in your stomach.
