Verifiably Safe, Either a 100% dedicated kitchen (no allergen on premises) or actively certified by a recognised accreditation body for this allergen.

Mestizo Portland is a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen. The official menu header states 'ALL ITEMS ARE GLUTEN FREE AND SOY FREE', the homepage slideshow declares 'All items are Gluten-Free', and the 'About us' section confirms 'Our restaurant is GLUTEN AND SOY FREE'. The FindMeGlutenFree listing for the Portland location is marked 'dedicated gluten-free' with 71 recent ratings, and dozens of coeliac reviewers report zero symptoms. One negative review from a year ago claims a glutening reaction, but this is heavily outweighed by the structural evidence of a fully dedicated kitchen and the overwhelming positive community consensus.

The official menu header states 'ALL ITEMS ARE GLUTEN FREE AND SOY FREE', and the 'About us' section confirms 'Our restaurant is GLUTEN AND SOY FREE'. This indicates a 100% dedicated soy-free kitchen, structurally eliminating soy from the premises. Multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviews corroborate this, with one reviewer noting 'Love that it's both gluten free and soy free'.

Marked menu + dedicated, Allergen-marked menu plus dedicated fryer / prep area. Staff trained. Not a fully dedicated kitchen.

The official menu marks many dishes with a 'Vegan' icon, and the 'About us' section states the restaurant offers 'vegan... menu options'. Multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviews mention 'Good vegan options'. However, the kitchen is not dedicated vegan (meat, dairy, and eggs are present), so cross-contamination is possible. The marked menu and staff awareness support a Tier C classification.

Marked menu + dedicated, Allergen-marked menu plus dedicated fryer / prep area. Staff trained. Not a fully dedicated kitchen.

The official menu marks some dishes with a 'Vegetarian' icon (e.g., Chilaquiles). The 'About us' section mentions 'vegan... menu options' which implies vegetarian options are also available. The kitchen is not dedicated vegetarian, so cross-contamination is possible. The marked menu supports a Tier C classification.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

The official menu notes that the 'Chicken Mole Tostada' and 'Mestizo Feast' 'contains Nuts'. The 'About us' section on the Chelsea website states the restaurant offers 'nut-free menu options', but this is for the London branch, not the Portland location. For the Portland location, the presence of nut-containing dishes on a shared menu with no dedicated nut-free kitchen indicates a Tier D classification. Confidence is low due to the ambiguity between locations.

The official menu does not mark dairy-free items, but the 'About us' section states the restaurant offers 'dairy-free... menu options'. Multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviews for the Portland location mention 'Good for dairy-free'. The menu is not marked for dairy, and the kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination is likely. This supports a Tier D classification.
