Gluten · Accommodates. On The Border publishes a dedicated 'Gluten-Friendly Menu Suggestions' PDF listing items made without gluten-containing ingredients (as of 02.21.2024v2). However: 'during normal kitchen operations involving shared cooking and preparation areas, including common fryer oil, the possibility exists for food items to come in contact with gluten containing food products. Due to these circumstances, we are unable to guarantee that any menu items can be completely free of gluten.' Items marked with * are fried in common fry oil. Alert the manager before ordering.
