I was a bit concerned about eating over the weekend; in past celebrations with Ashley there's a lot of bad eating going on (think late-night snacking and junk food) and it is sometimes difficult to eat gluten free. When we were deciding on lunch places, I suggested Javier's because of its great Mexican menu. Mexican food is typically Celiac-friendly because of the abundance of corn products.
As we sat down I was very careful to ask about the chips they served as an appetizer. I was told that they were 100% corn and that there was no flour or anything similar used in them, the salsa served with them, or the guacamole we ordered to go on the side.
When I continued to ask about corn being used instead of flour in the restaurant's enchiladas, the waiter asked me, "Are you gluten free?" Ashley and I were both pleasantly surprised that the waiter knew about the gluten free options on the menu. He assured me that the enchiladas were also gluten free, as they were made from corn.
