✨ Gluten-Free Viet-Mex in Dallas ✨
Cris and John is well known in Dallas for a reason… and did you know they have a gluten-free menu?? Vietnamese meets Mexican, and the combination works so much better than you'd ever expect. We're talking viet classics like spring rolls, skewers, rice plates, and pho alongside Mexican favorites like birria tacos, elote, and flautas. All with a gluten-free menu to guide you through it.
It is a shared kitchen and shared fryer situation, so keep that in mind. But the staff here are incredibly knowledgeable about gluten-free and go above and beyond to make your dish safe. They’re able to make swaps like grilling flautas on the grill top instead of frying them, and when I asked them to change gloves for my order they agreed without any hesitation.
Today, I went with the birria tacos, three crispy tacos filled with spicy beef short ribs and mozzarella cheese, served with angry pho consomé and all the fixings. So incredibly cheesy, warm, and comforting, and honestly the green salsa completely stole the show for me over the consomé. I couldn’t stop reaching for it.
I also got an order of the spring rolls with fish sauce and y'all these things were massive. I could not even finish them and I tried my best 😅
