Pappasito's Cantina
Celiac Safety Score
Pappasito's Cantina stands out for celiac diners thanks to a robust gluten-free menu and a team that genuinely understands what safe dining means. While it's not a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility (despite some conflicting claims), staff consistently flag gluten allergies, bring managers to the table, and follow strict cross-contamination protocols—right down to scrubbing grills and prepping guac in separate areas. Yes, there are minor hiccups (like those infamous lackluster baked chips and a shared fryer for regular chips), but the kitchen's willingness to adapt—offering alternatives and flagging plates—makes you feel seen, not sidelined. If you’re someone who’s anxious about eating out, this is one of those rare spots where you can actually exhale and savor your enchiladas without second-guessing every bite.
