I previously posted requesting contact information for Don Pablo.  A member 
of our local support group provided it and I have contacted Don Pablo's to 
determine gluten free entrees.  It is my understanding that all Don Pablo's 
restaurants are the same and that the ingredients and recipes do not vary 
from one Don Pablo's restaurant to another.  

Note that the following list is from their "old" menu.  The new menu went 
into effect around March 1, 2003.  An updated GF list will be posted on their 
website when it is completed.  It is in the process of being compiled and is 
expected to be posted at www.donpablos.com around the end of April, 2003.   
For what it is worth, according to my local waiter, the Mamma's Skinny 
Enchiladas have not changed from the old menu to the new menu.

I was provided from Don Pablo's corporate headquarters with the following:

<<Below is a list of ingredients that contain gluten and may not be included 
in a gluten-free diet:

¨ All flour tortillas
¨ Torta Rolls (comes with Anaheim Chicken Sandwich and Pablo's Steak Burger)
¨ White Chicken Chili
¨ Beef  and Chicken Fajita Marinade
¨ Jalapeno Poppers
¨ Rellanos
¨ Croutons
¨ Sopapillas
¨ Apple Pie
¨ Chocolate Cake
¨ Corn Dogs
¨ Chicken Tenders
¨ Margarine (contains artificial flavor which indicates that gluten may be 
present)
¨ Mantequilla or Chipotle Butter 
¨ Ranchero Sauce

The following ingredients contain modified food starch and may have traces of 
gluten:

comes with The Conquistador)

The following list of gluten-free menu item suggestions was compiled using 
the lists above:
