The resturants you named are always packed on the weekend with hour or better waitng list and no reservations.

Here's a link to Blaze's thread on gluten-free foods that may give a clearer picture of what could and could not be good:

And his first post:

In this thread, I wanted to have an informative array of information and links that can help everyone that is on a gluten free, lactose free, soy allergies, peanut allergies or any other allergies that people experience in food by-products.
I have much more to learn on my living with crohn's/celiac disease. But through sharing with friends and co-workers, I have compiled a few interesting health care needs, do's and don'ts, recipes. I have a new friend in here that has started a thread else where, and expressed that I create a new one. So here we go.
Feel free to post recipes , links, experiences or questions.
I will be posting information about Crohn's, celiac, in the near future.
Will also be compiling info on living Gluten free.

I think his thread is awesome in general. The recipes are soooo yummy!!!

Either way, I'm sure either Blaze or Doll will come in here to let us know what's feasible.

A little Yelp research revealed:

Not on Yelp, but when I googled "Matt's El Rancho gluten-free" I found the following:

http://www.popartsplace.com/Celiac/ says of Matt's:

I had a good experience at Matt's El Rancho on South Lamar recently. I called the manager in the afternoon before dining there that evening. He said they have a list of which ingredients/dishes contain gluten. They use the list to train their staff but don't have it in a menu format. He offered to print a copy and have it at the host station when I arrived later for dinner.

When we arrived they couldn't find the sheet, but the server came to the table with their kitchen copy of the list and we worked out what options would be safe. They said their corn tortillas do not contain wheat. Many of their dishes are GF if they don't sprinkle the final seasonings on them. I ordered Fajitas and they were great. Despite the busy atmosphere in the restaurant, the service was great and I had no reaction. I 'll definitely go there again.
