Cinco's Mexican Cantina



Greetings from Georgia! I am in the ATL for the week visiting my best friend Kimmie. While I am here I will try to let you know about anything gluten free in this area.

The other night we went to Cinco's Mexican Cantina in Suwanee, GA.

While the manager nor the wait staff knew anything about gluten free food, they were willing to work with me. Actually, the manager did not speak english and was very hard to communicate with. He kept coming back to me saying that nothing said gluten in the ingredients....I had a hard time explaining that gluten isn't actually listed in the ingredients...(usually) which made no sense to him! But, I did have a much easier time speaking to the waitress who was very sweet to help me. The chips were gluten free, as well as the queso. I ended up ordering enchillada's with corn tortilla's with chicken and cheese. The chicken was plain and they had no problem grilling my food with foil down to make sure there was no cross-contamination.

Hi Ainsley!

I didn't realize you all lived near Suwanee! I looked up the chattahoochee river before I left and google said it was near the Alabama border...but obviously its a long river, duh!

Next time I'm in town I'll be sure to call you guys!

I hope you guys are loving your new home!
