El Catrín

The menu clearly marks GF options (tacos, enchiladas, tortilla chips, quesadillas, taquitos, and more) and the kitchen uses Swiss-made organic nixtamalised corn tortillas and totopos, with wheat tortillas made in-house separately. Staff are reported to be knowledgeable about coeliac precautions, but the kitchen is shared and also handles wheat tortillas, so cross-contamination is possible. No dedicated gluten-free kitchen or accreditation is noted.
