Efrain's Mexican Restaurant Lafayette

While corn chips and fresh salsa are naturally gluten‑free, the shared fryer and prep area mean the chips could be cooked in oil that also fries wheat‑based items, creating cross‑contamination risk, and seasonings in the salsa could contain hidden gluten.

While the ingredients in Chile Verde are naturally gluten‑free, the restaurant uses a shared kitchen and fryer, so cross‑contamination from gluten‑containing foods is possible, and hidden thickeners or sauces could contain wheat.

Corn tortillas are naturally gluten‑free, but the restaurant uses a shared kitchen and fryer, so the tortillas and sauces could have contacted gluten‑containing foods or be cooked in the same oil as breaded items. Additionally, some Mexican red or green sauces are thickened with flour or contain hidden gluten ingredients.
