Chicken flautas. It’s been so long since I’ve had a flauta.
Really, this is gluten-free surrounding areas of Memphis. It was tough the more rural we stayed but the Find Me Gluten-Free app saved me.
Las Tortugas Deli Mexicana
We came here on three separate occasions in two days if that speaks to the food. The owner, Pepe, is from Mexico City and his son took our orders and told the story of how his father wanted to open an authentic Mexican taqueria after retirement and the children thought he was crazy.
La resistencía is alive in the south.
The son called back in Spanish to the kitchen that the meal was for a Celiac. “It’s important that the preparation and cooking areas be gluten-free, as well as the food”. I agree, sir! Their chips and tortillas are all corn so the fryer doesn’t touch flour.
Tacos al pastor
Crazy Italians
Spaghetti alla carbonara
This place is not Italian-American, thank god. Their menu items are in Italian and they can do any pasta in a gluten-free version. I could not tell the difference. The carbonara was decadent. It was approved by Trent’s grandmother, who pronounced the authentic Mexican chips made by Las Tortugas to be tasteless.
AC’s Steakhouse
No photos from here as I got a basic and delicious cheeseburger. The restaurant had a gluten-friendly menu. Some items are prepared in a contaminated fryer so no fries with that burger. I thought for a moment I may get to indulge in potato skins, but no.
