San Jose’s Original Mexican Restaurant has all the warmth and flavor you’d hope for in a neighborhood spot, but if you’re celiac, you’ll want to ask plenty of questions before ordering. While their menu features naturally gluten-free ingredients—corn tortillas, rice, beans, and grilled meats—there’s no mention of a dedicated gluten-free menu, separate prep areas, or staff training specific to cross-contamination. Most dishes are made to order, which is a plus for custom requests, but shared fryers (hello, flautas and chips) and flour tortillas everywhere mean risk is baked right in. If you’re comfortable with basic ingredient swaps and vigilant communication, you might find safe options here—but for those needing strict celiac-level precautions, this isn’t the most reassuring choice.
