Esteban

Almost the entire menu is marked GF (all tacos, ceviches, mains, most desserts); only the Caesar salad and Pan De Elote dessert contain gluten, and multiple reviewers confirm these two items are prepared in a separate area of the kitchen. A dedicated GF fryer is reported by 9 community members on FindMeGlutenFree, and at least 5 reviews cite a dedicated kitchen space. Staff are widely described as knowledgeable about coeliac disease and cross-contamination. The venue is NOT a dedicated GF facility; the official menu states 'our kitchen handles common allergens and traces may be present.' One symptomatic coeliac reported a reaction after eating the bean dip (laurini, 1 month ago), and one other reviewer observed a chef touch a gluten-containing cake before handling a GF dessert (though staff corrected this on the spot). These two incidents—one involving a confirmed glutening, one an observed handling lapse—are noted as caveats.

The menu marks vegetarian dishes with 'v' on individual items, such as Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Esteban's Potatoes, Esteban's Tortillas, and Stracciatella. Multiple community reviewers note 'good vegetarian options.' The kitchen is shared with meat dishes; no dedicated prep area is claimed.

The menu marks dairy-free dishes with 'df' on individual items. A large proportion of the menu (most tacos, ceviches, main proteins) carries the (df) marker. Multiple FindMeGlutenFree and AGFG reviewers note 'good for dairy-free.' The kitchen is shared, with no dedicated dairy-free prep area.

The menu marks vegan dishes with a '⊽' symbol, for example Smoked Black Bean Dip, Roasted Sugarloaf Cabbage, Roasted Eggplant, and Salsa Flight. Multiple reviewers note that vegan options are available. The kitchen is shared, and there is no dedicated vegan prep area.

The menu marks nut-containing dishes with an 'n' symbol. Examples include Stracciatella with salsa macha, Roasted Sugarloaf Cabbage with pistachio crema, and Roasted Eggplant with crushed cashew. Dishes without this marker can be inferred as nut-free, though the kitchen shares space with nut-containing dishes. Cross-contamination risk is not ruled out. A menu footer states that the kitchen handles common allergens and traces may be present.

Substantial seafood and fish options are marked on the menu, including ceviche tacos, cuttlefish, scallops, and market fish, and one wanderlog review notes the restaurant accommodated two pescatarians. The kitchen is shared with meat dishes.
