Off the Menu: Chuy's

I figured since Uncle Billy's, Chuy's and Hula Hut are all under the same company that they would have a gluten-free menu, but it cannot be found online! Here is what they sent me:

Appetizers:
Guacamole, no chips, sub corn tortillas
Cheese Quesadillas, sub corn tortillas

Salads:
Mexi-Cobb Salad, no meat
Large Dinner Salad
** Dressing: Cilantro Vinaigrette

Sides:
Corn, Blue Corn Tortillas

Tacos:
Guacamole Soft Tacos, sub corn tortillas, no rice

Enchiladas:
Veggie Enchiladas, no sauce, no rice

Combinations:
#3 Taco & Enchilada, sub guacamole soft taco on corn tortilla, with Veggie Enchilada, no sauce, no rice

As you can see...pretty boring - can't have any meat, sauce or rice...for Mexican food the way to go is definitely Trudy's, Iron Cactus or Cantina Laredo!!

  1. Hello to a fellow GF newbie in Austin! I got my diagnosis in April of this year.

    As for Chuy's, I further learned at a Chuy's on the north edge of San Antonio that even their corn tortillas are suspect b/c they make them at the same station as their flour tortillas! Not sure if that's true across the board, but if it is, you (we) can't even have a corn tortilla wrapping our dry meat there. So sad. I loved Chuy's.

    Maudie's also has a good GF menu (I've been to the one at 360 (Davenport Village) and at Hill Country Galleria -- different menus at each but both good.

  2. Oh... and DUH! Can't believe I forgot this -- Matt's El Rancho has quite a number of options and all their managers are knowledgeable (especially Heather, so ask for her if she's there). Like you, I wish they'd get a printed menu, but they don't rely on a server to handle it -- they have told the servers to get a manager if there is a GF customer at their table.
