Dan Macdonald

Chose 4 tacos (pastor, gringa, camaron, tinga) and they were all excellent. The mariachi band was fun. Absolutely worth a visit. And it’s gluten free approved!

Shawn Henderson

Super fun place, great food, great service. Had a blast. 100% Gluten Free. Huge, varied menu. Great cocktails, lots of flavours of margaritas. All serviced super fast, super friendly. Cannot wait for patio season to enjoy the food and drinks in the sun... but the interior is decorated very festively. I'll be back!

Lisa Perry

I love that they have a gluten free burrito option. It was sooooo yummy 😋

Anja M. Plecas

Ok seriously this place is exceptional. I was surprised that it wasn't advertised anywhere on the street, but when I tried their food I saw why no advertising was needed. It's home cooked meals, original dishes and drinks, and such a friendly service you feel like family. It was packed within a few minutes of getting there, but it didn't get too loud. You could still hold a conversation easily without raising your voice. Cherry on top of the cake was the plethora of gluten free options. I'm celiac so this was just amazing to see and I will 100% be coming back because there are so many things on the menu I want to try!

Addy Rogers

Huge portions! The food is great. They have a nice all you can eat salsa. Good place for gluten allergies.

Carole Evans

Had great soft shell tacos! Chicken. And 2 types of pork that were all excellent. Rice and beans were pretty good. The room a bit too dark. Got brighter when the large screen TV flashed bright. Would definitely go back . Wonderful options for my celiac friend.

sel

they did not accommodate to my celiac and wheat allergy. every time i have come before they take ingredients from the back for me because i can’t have my food be contaminated. the guy said “there was nothing in the back”and that “since there is a rush he won’t do it”. it would have taken him 4. seconds extra to take it from the back like every other employee has done for me before so rude and did not consider allergies and for that 1/5.

Ainsley Fraser

A cozy spot tucked away in a residential street. Delicious tacos, great service and awesome patio in the warmer months. Tacos are made with corn tortillas (gluten free) and dairy free options are available as well!

Elaine Bonev

My friends and I went here because it’s always been just around the corner but never tried it. Today we did and it was so good. Extremely friendly lady greeted us with a really warm welcome and helped us with the menu and even thoughtfully catered to my gluten free needs. The food was amazing (and even the tortilla soup was crazy good) and we will definitely be making more stops here! I only wish we came sooner.

Our server, Big Dog, was excellent as was the food! They have lots of gluten free options as well.

Mikayla Smith

100% gluten free! And great Marg's!

Mohamad Bustami

Wow wow wow!! What an amazing spot in the heart of byward market. Delicious authentic Mexican food. Some of the best tacos and quesadillas. Their different sauces are to die for. And then to top it off they have amazing delicious freshly made hibiscus tea. The staff and service are second to none as well. Oh and of course lots of gluten-free options since they have corn tortillas for both the tacos and quesadillas. Highly recommended and will be coming again for sure.

Aly McCabe

We ordered via Ubereats for a work lunch and I cannot say enough great things. They had gluten free and vegetarian options and were great with dietary restrictions. They also labelled everything, making it easy to sort out who got what. Oh, and the food was absolutely delicious!

Paulanne Peters

Best, best fish tacos ever. Prepared gluten -free witha corn tortilla. Stellar!!

Stacey McKenzie

Best tacos that we have had in Stittsville! Fresh ingredients with authentic flavours. Gluten-free is an added bonus. We tried fish, chicken and beef tacos and were so impressed with the flavours! We will be back for more. Our only disappointment is that they will be closing soon for the winter.

Jordan Pumphrey

We were *that table* with a last minute reservation for 7, asking to move to the patio halfway through, and having a bunch of allergies, but everyone was so great. Our server, Todd, went above and beyond helping us move to the patio halfway through. Half of us have gluten and dairy allergies and he was knowledgeable about how everything was cooked and didn’t make us feel like a burden for the adjustments we needed. He was so kind and attentive, really great server. Go Todd Go!

Shaddy Saneie

Came in on a rainy Friday afternoon to try a few tacos. The table service was slow but the food came out quickly. We got the shrimp taco, chorizo, vegetable and birria. We really liked the Chorizo and Birria, and would pass on the other two. They were able to accommodate my gluten and dairy free allergies :)

Chantal Leclair

This place is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G We were heading to another restaurant a few doors down, but it was closed, we walked in front of the Bonita, and we were completely drawn inside. Everything was perfect, I'm celiac, I they are super knowledgeable, aware and want for every customer to have the best experience. Oh, don't miss going through the mocktails menus, telling you, they don't miss a thing. The first time I went out of my comfort zone, and ordered something I've never tried before, that's how confident I was that this restaurant was perfect. Oh, btw, did the same second time around, and it was as good as the first time. If you are asking yourself if you should go, stop and go, you'll thank me late.

Steph Levac

Staff are knowledgeable about celiac. Alex - my server was so thorough when going through the menu with me and so thoughtful to check in and make sure I was feel good when we were paying up and getting ready to leave. A++ service

Jeff Clark

Had a dinner for a group last night. Two of them ordered sandwich/burgers. When they arrived they came on gluten free buns. If you are GF they are great but if not, they are way different. These were pretty stale GF buns to boot. To his credit the manager came out to apologize to us and said they should have communicated that they ran out of buns. But to offer us a 1/4 off the cost of the two meals was underwhelming. If we had sent them back, would the cook send out a quarter of a replacement meal? Not a fan of this Lone Star.

I recently visited Bar Burrito and was blown away by the flavorful food and vibrant atmosphere! The burritos were generous in size, packed with fresh ingredients, and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring our glasses were always full. The real standout, however, was the variety of options available - from classic vegan and gluten-free choices, there's something for everyone. Whether you're a burrito connoisseur or just looking for a quick, delicious meal, Bar Burrito is a must-visit!

Shaddy Saneie

My friends & I went on a taco tour recently and made sure to stop at Mona’s. We got lucky and they were able to accommodate six of us with no reservation. They were very busy with only two staff working the front of house, so the service to receive our drinks was slow (which was expected) but the kitchen was very quick. I have a gluten + dairy allergy, the staff were very accommodating. We got the pastor and the mushroom, I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the mushroom taco was. Margarita was tasty and strong. Would definitely go back and try their other flavours & guac.

Guns N' Hoses Staff

I love that Lone Star has gluten free options! Professional, friendly and funny staff, large menu to select from and the marga palooza is worth trying a few! Great for staff events, family dinners or a night out with friends.

Sandra Stephens

The service rep could tell it was my first time in one of these restaurants and took the time to explain the gluten free options for me. I appreciated the time they spent with me, as well as the delish tacos

Robyn Crawford

Favorites: vegetales al pastor (veggie) quesadilla, tortilla soup, potato and bean chipotle taco, and horchata to drink. Only a few tables, but a cute casual spot. Good portion sizes, goid vegetarian options, and most things are gluten free.

Stephanie Bates

Gluten free burrito bowl for the win!😃

Kat Sloan

This place is SO good. They had items containing gluten marked on the menu. The waitress was super knowledgeable and knew exactly what celiac was/what was gluten free and safe for me to eat. I had the brisket (without crispy onions) and the pork taco.. both delicious! Great service & atmosphere. Chips are shared fryer with breaded items so I didn’t risk it. My friends really enjoyed their tacos too (fish and cauliflower). Will be back soon!

Adam From Canada

I've been here several times and it's always been excellent. The food is very flavorful and the staff is very friendly. I didn't care for the watermelon drink, though. The portions look small but it's quite filling. Also, they're real corn tortillas so they're gluten free. I would recommend this place to everyone. There can be a bit of a wait to get your food, but they also offer up freshly made chips and homemade salsa which is yummy.

Keith Burnage

Great place for delicious Mexican food and they have so many gluten fee options definitely coming back

Elaine Burnette

Awesome place and I'm also Celiac they were very good and had dedicated cooking for meal. All food well labeled for GF

JD

Fast food at a premium price. Cold rice, tasteless tacos. Corn products fried in the same oil as wheat. Not gluten friendly. The salt shaker stuck to my hand it was so sticky and dirty. Kind of smells like a urinal puck inside.

kathryn starratt

Gluten Friendly!

Simon Smith

Ordered take-out from here and was not impressed. There weren't enough fixings for the fajitas and we asked for corn tortillas since they were gluten free but got some bad tasting GF tortillas instead. Worst part was we waited a few minutes for the food and it still wound up being cold when we got it home. For an order we had to wait for, seems like it was sitting around for a while. Definitely not worth the $20 per plate.

Sarah Toner-Morrison

Deliciously gluten-free

Emelina Montoya

Great, hearty burritos full of flavor and juice. I only order takeout so I can't say much about the service or atmosphere but the food is excellent. I have not tried their other dishes but if I go based off of the burritos I am sure they are just as good. Check the app or online ordering for deals and promotions. They do offer gluten free wraps/tortillas.

jordan Morneau

DiL provided very helpful and friendly service. She was knowledgeable in what I could eat with my gluten allergy. Thank you!

Rosalva Bridges

This little place is out of this world! Hands-down, best tacos in the city at an extremely reasonable price. Staff are super friendly and kind. Service is great, unrushed yet timely. Really can’t say enough about how delicious the food is. Been there three times now and have ordered everything off the menu. would easily recommend anything depending on your palate. Big plus is that is gluten free too! They have made me a regular. Will definitely go back! Thank you!

TLDR: Very disappointed. Total waste of $25. Decided to try Mexi Guac for dinner. They boast and almost entirely gluten free menu and Celiac procedures. The food was awful. I got a barbacoa burrito bowl with Chips and queso. The queso is a strange Grey paste with flecks of black "seasoning". The bowl has no discernable flavour besides black pepper corns, which is very concerning considering the amount of mild salsa and lime crema that was put on the bowl. I don't know if it was the rice that is so over powerfully seasoned, or if it was the meat, but either way I got 2 bites out of it and I can't stomach it at all. I'll stick to other options.

Anika Matte

I had a super yummy burrito bowl here, I am gluten free and looked on the website before and and it worked perfectly, didn’t get sick:)’

Brian S

Filling and yummy, gluten free options available

Scott Mullenix

Place was clean and the food was good. Good gluten free menu and protocols. I have coeliac family members and would bring them here for the burrito bowl. Fresh tortilla chips were amazing!

Shaddy Saneie

Came in on a Friday afternoon as I was craving a taco. This place did not disappointment. Quick service, flavourful chicken, very cheap price (4$ for the small) it was just what I needed. Gluten and dairy free friendly

Jean Lovell

Kat Walraven

The food was good and the service was okay. But I won't be back. When we left we overheard the owner telling someone that people with food restrictions (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, etc.) weren't their kind of customers. I guess Feleena's is not my kind of restaurant. Hasta la vista.
