They make really good Mexican food. Here is the letter I got: Taco Del Mar Wheat-Free/Gluten-Free Items (2004) This category of menu items was developed to assist individuals with conditions such as a wheat allergy or gluten intolerance, which is also referred to as gluten-sensitive enteropathy, celiac disease, or non-tropical sprue. Gluten is a protein component of some grains. For people with gluten intolerance, eating gluten damages the intestinal lining, compromising the absorption of many other nutrients. Besides wheat – rye, oats, barley, spelt, triticale and kamut also contain gluten. To manage gluten intolerance, it is important to avoid these and any foods made from them. Taco Del Mar wheat-free, gluten-free ingredients: Corn Tortilla Tortilla Chips Taco Shells Marinated Boneless Chicken Filling Spicy Ground Beef Filling Seasoned Rice Refried Beans Seasoned Black Beans Whole Pinto Beans Monterey Jack/Cheddar Cheese Blend Guacamole Salsa Sour Cream Green (mild) sauce Red (medium) sauce Habanero (hot) sauce White sauce Lettuce/cabbage Breakfast Items: Eggs, Hash Browns, Diced Potatoes Dream up your own creation, or choose the Taco Del Mar menu items made with only wheat-free/gluten-free ingredients. Hard Taco with chicken or beef Soft Taco with chicken or beef on corn tortilla Veggie Taco on corn tortilla Baja Bowl – chicken or beef Cheese, Chicken or Beef Enchilada on corn tortillas – Do Not use ENCHILADA SAUCE as it contains gluten, use salsa, red, green or habanero sauce instead. Super Nachos Chips & Salsa Rice and Beans Kids Chips and Cheese Kids Taco – chicken or beef on hard taco shell or soft corn tortilla Breakfast Taco on corn tortilla or hard taco shell Egg & Cheese Taco on corn tortilla or hard taco shell These items contain wheat/gluten: Taco Salad Shell Tortillas – Flour, Wheat, Spinach, Tomato, Carb Modified Alaskan Cod Roasted Pork in mole Enchilada Sauce Cookies Brownies Important Note: Every effort was made to identify menu items that do not wheat/gluten. Occasionally alternate suppliers and brands are used or products are reformulated - which may result in different ingredients. At Taco Del Mar, we make every attempt to keep our gluten-free list current, but we welcome your request to check the ingredient labels on any products in the shop you visit. Since this is a restaurant environment, wheat-free/gluten-free ingredients may come in contact with ingredients that contain wheat & gluten. For instance, a corn tortilla may be placed on a work surface that has been used roll a flour tortilla. For specific guidance on this issue and your level of sensitivity, contact your physician and registered dietitian. For more information contact the Gluten Intolerance Group of North American at www.gluten.net. Nice Huh? They have got my business and gratitude!
