“What truly made the dining experience at Maudie's special was their understanding of celiac disease.”
We were in search of a gluten-free Mexican restaurant Austin so we turned to the highly recommended Maudie's, a Mexican restaurant known for its positive reviews on the Find Me Gluten-Free app. With many locations, we happened to be in the North Lamar area, and opted there.
From the moment we were seated, Maudie's demonstrated their commitment to accommodating gluten-free diners. As soon as I mentioned having celiac to our waiter, they promptly brought out a pre-packaged bag of chips, ensuring that I could safely enjoy their flavorful salsa without any worries of cross-contact. This thoughtful gesture immediately put me at ease.
For the main course, I opted for the veggie fajitas, which arrived accompanied by refried black beans, rice, pico de gallo, and lettuce. While the presentation was appealing, I found that the veggies were simply steamed and lacked the bold flavors I had hoped for. In hindsight, I would have chosen the chicken fajitas, as they might have provided a more satisfying and flavorful experience.
What truly made the dining experience at Maudie's special was their understanding of celiac disease. It was refreshing to dine at a restaurant where the staff was knowledgeable about gluten-free requirements and took proactive steps to ensure a safe and enjoyable meal.
