Top 50 Gluten-Free Mexican Havens Across Arizona

Matt Allan

Love this place! Some of the best mexican food in the valley. The owners have greeted us both times we've been there. The bartender Adam knows his stuff, and serves high quality drinks. It's a great gluten-free restaurant, too. Gotta check it out when there's live music!

I am SUPER impressed with the attention to detail at this restaurant! Just WOW! Having Celiac, trace amounts of gluten can wreak havoc on my system. I checked out their menu online and ordered through Uber Eats noting Celiac. The manager called and let me know some of the items were prepared with items containing gluten and suggested substitutes! I was pleasantly caught off guard by the manager’s professionalism and knowledge of Celiac procedures! I will definitely be ordering here often! Oh, and, their food is INCREDIBLE!!!

The fact that this is what I’d consider a specialty burger shop & they have gluten free buns 🙌 delicious burgers & fries, fast service 10/10!

Nicole Spiegle

The tamale with mole was so delicious!! Great gluten free options! Be willing to wait— it’s all fresh and worth every second! My kids devoured it— my only regret is not ordering more.

Susan Goodsell

Some of the best, healthiest food I've found! Lots of gluten-free options, and they are open to special dietary requests. Delicious!

Steve Jain

Excellent Mexican cuisine...not just the regular dishes, tortilla stuffed chicken and shrimp poblano elegante enchiladas, plus more Guacamole made table side. One of the best micheladas I've had. Almost everything can be gluten free (except burritos) with corn tortillas. Service is friendly. Outdoor seating when it's seasonable.

Sara Bishop

The gluten free options are amazing. The tuna sandwich has been fantastic each time so it’s kept me from trying other things because I enjoy it so much. Their coffee is great, both the normal espresso and decaf! The homemade syrups are wonderful

Had an amazing experience. This is my go to spot when I need delicious gluten free food and drinks. I am Celiac and have never had an issue at this location. I took my sister for the first time and we had the queso (which my 6 yr old says its 10 out of 10), we also had the mango shrimp ceviche which was amazing (I'm super picky with my seafood and it was so refreshing), we had the beef enchiladas (these are my fav) and they were amazing as well. The extra sauce put them over the top. We also had the mango margarita and watermelon margaritas and both were deli deli (delicious). My sister was super pleased with a The food and service (which she is super picky as we are Mexican ) and she ordered plenty of items to go for her family to try. Our waitress was also amazing, i don't recall her name but we sat next to the entrance and visited on 6.19.25 @ around 11:15ish am. Overall it was a great experience and the food was great. Today was chef's kiss!

My husband and I came in for a late dinner, I got the sweet potato street fries and they were delicious! Lots of gluten free and dairy free options for us. Our server, Danny, was so patient with all of our questions and very kind.

Chris M

Highly recommend! Excellent for gluten free options.

T. Ray

We love Blanco. Best queso we've had and they have lots of gluten free options. The short ribs in anything is a winner.

Thomas Kirby

Server seemed knowledgeable about celiac, but was slightly rude about it when I asked my questions to confirm safety. Also, the ordering process didn’t completely put my mind at ease. However, after receiving the steak fajitas (made with tamari, soy is mentioned on the menu), I enjoyed the meal and had no issues afterwards. The chips are fried in a solely gluten free fryer. But, I didn’t end up having those. Would recommend if you want some Mexican food.

Edis

Brandon was our server and he did AMAZING! It was a Saturday night though not very busy inside dining, yet the door dash and other deliveries are slamming the restaurant and it felt like he was virtually running the whole front of the restaurant by himself, making drinks for people, serving us very well, and assuring my girlfriend with her gluten free and vegetarian options as well as ensuring I was able to customize my order which tasted beyond what I’ve eaten before. I’ve had a lot of carne asada but their burrito customized with the carne asada is immaculate! We love the area and we can’t pass on such incredible service from Brandon and the quality of the food! Great atmosphere and gluten free / vegetarian options!

Edis

This place is super cute, comfortable, and clean. The foods presentation is top, and the food itself tasted amazing as well. They have great options for lunch, reducing the bill to a very small amount. My girlfriend ate gluten free and vegan only and I had a chicken meal, all together with chips and salsa which was offered the second we sat down as a gesture, total was 35 for the both of us. That’s a great price for such a high quality in service, atmosphere, and food selection! We will definitely be back here, thank you!

Chris Spidle

Great meal- I had the red enchilada special and a mesquite latte. Make sure to hit the salsa bar. Service was fast and friendly. Tons of gluten free options.

Matt G

Visited for dinner with the family while staying in town. We have dairy and gluten intolerance issues and our server Sofi was very helpful with this. The food was excellent, the chips and salsa were refilled often as were the drinks. Sofi was awesome ! She was super friendly, informative, and very helpful with our many questions. This was a pleasant find on our trip. Family liked it so much, we went back the following night for round 2 ! If you are passing through or staying in town, make this place a stop and be sure to ask for Sofi !

Steve Lieberman

Great Restaurant. I am Gluten Free and never had a problem eating there.

Elik Essif

First and foremost, it has an extensive gluten-free menu. They even have mock flour tortillas. I would consider El Charro's an upscale Mexican restaurant, but the prices are still very reasonable. And of course, they are famous for their carne seca that can be had in various dishes such as tacos. Sì Charro's, I love this place and have eaten at all of their restaurants in the Tucson area.

Cantyoutakea Joke

Enchiladas excellent and they cater to gluten free people!

Bailey Johnson

Found this place on find me gluten free. Was super knowledgeable about gluten and super sweet/friendly ladies. If you have any questions the owner will come out to talk to you. I highly recommend.

Great tamales, great (welcoming, nice, helpful) service. Good vegetarian options, and clear markings for veg vs. vegan and gluten free. Sides are delicious too. Don’t forget some cinnamon crisps to go!

Harshath Gupta

Overall, fantastic!! It is a mix of a casual restaurant with a clean, casual space for eating in, as well as a small market with to-go options for foods. The staff at the front are extremely helpful and kind. I have celiac disease (strict gluten-free) and vegetarian, and I was pleasantly surprised about the gluten-free vegetarian options that were absolutely delicious, and with multiple options. Their fryer only cooks tostadas and tortilla chips, which are both gluten-free, so thus a gluten-free fryer was available! I enjoyed a doble style with a southwest veggie tamale, hatch & jack tamale, and sides of pinto beans and a bean & cheese tostada. The portions are extremely generous and also served with some chips. This was definitely the best tamales I have ever had. The tamale thickness and texture was perfect, while the hatch chile and cheese smothered in cheese suace on top was delicious and accompanied well by the savory southwest veggie tamale covered in red chile sauce. I wish tamales everywhere were served like this. The size of the sides was generous, and both the tostada and beans were an excellent complement to the tamales. I devoured them too quickly. They were so good, I decided to buy 6 frozen tamales (they have 5 veggie and 4 vegan options!) for my road trip, and my only regret is not making it in time to go again in person before leaving Phoenix. Excellent service, ambiance, and food that is both delicious and well-priced .

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. First, I am gluten free and there are very few options but they still gave me the wrong plate and I unknowingly had gluten which resulted in a reaction. The server was very rude when it was brought up and said it was my fault that it happened. They did not even take it off the bill which I think is ridiculous. 10/10 do NOT recommend.

Thanks to some recommendations I found on Eat Gluten Free AZ on Instagram, we stopped at Diego Pops near our hotel in Old Town Scottsdale for happy hour where all apps and margaritas are half off. They have a marked gluten free menu which is important to me as a Celiac. I was told that their fryer is dedicated but flour tortillas are stored near it, so to avoid potential cross contamination, avoid the fried foods. After being put on a 15 minute wait list, we were seated outside. The weather was fantastic so it was very comfortable in the outdoor dining area next to the bar. On the table are 6 different sauces. Try them all - my favs were the pink one and the light green serrano one. We got a frozen house blue raspberry margarita, 2 Diego (house) margaritas, a cheese quesadilla (not GF, but my husband loved it), elote (great), a bowl of tortilla soup (12/10 it was delicious), a corn cheese dip (fine) with tortillas rather than chips to avoid potential gluten cross contamination, and a pineapple pork bowl with coconut rice (not a fan.) Between ordering our drinks and when our food came out, it was like maybe 40 minutes. We didn't mind because the weather was good and we were chatting and had our drinks, but our waitress kept updating us that she was on the kitchen to bring out our stuff. We were like, "it's fine." She came out 2 more times and said the kitchen had lost our ticket. Whatever, we were in no rush. Stuff happens. She was super apologetic even though we didn't complain and the manager came over and gave us vouchers for 6 free tacos and comped our entire meal!!! We told them it wasn't necessary and we could pay but the waitress said it was thanks for being so nice and understanding. That made me feel sad that they clearly deal with a lot of rude, unreasonable people. It wasn't necessary to comp our meal or give us free taco vouchers. We did tip her in cash an amount that would have been 1/3 of the original bill. Please don't go expecting free food but if you're in Scottsdale, please go check out the food at Diego Pops and get the tortilla soup for sure.

Corina Turner

So many gluten-free options, it was impressive. The server was very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and made great suggestions that we really enjoyed. The blood orange margarita was delicious. I'm definitely going back soon.

Hali Trainor

Really great tacos, marked gluten free!

Alicia Warnke

My group had dinner here a few weeks back and the service and food were both AMAZING! We had the corn crusted scallops, chorizo queso verde fundido, smoked pork cheeks and duck carnitas. Also noteworthy that the entire menu with the exception of one item can be made gluten free!! The prickly pear margarita and roasted pineapple mezcal were absolutely delicious!!!

I frequent this location, but I'm not sure how much longer that will continue if changes aren't made. Started off on the wrong foot - asked the lady who seated us for a booth and she puts our menus on a normal table. We politely say again we would like a booth or half booth, please, and she moves us to another section. Taco Tuesday - BOGO, sounds great - well, until you order the tacos anyway. I ordered four carne asada tacos, and my wife ordered two Pollo deshebrado. My tacos were overcooked, dry, and underseasoned. When I asked the waiter if this is how they are normally served, he claimed it was because they switched to gluten free? I know BS when I hear it, and yeah - that was an awful excuse. I drowned them in sauce and salsa to get through them. I'd rate this carne asada lower than Filiberto's at twice the cost. That's not a compliment. My wife had a better experience, but her chicken was too salty, and drenched in sauce. If the chicken is sitting in a chefs pan waiting to be heated up each order, this makes sense. Probably the bottom of the pan. Honestly I'm shocked at how the kitchen is so inconsistent every time we come here. The recipes don't change. I shouldn't come in as a customer and be worried about the quality of food I'm about to receive.

The chile rellenos were the stand out, and available as gluten free. The short rib fell off the bone which was nice, but not quite the flavor I was hoping for it to have. I would recommend skipping the pasta here as the flavor lacked luster. I would come back if I was in the area again, but only for the chile rellenos.

Robin K.

Great place. Edie was a great server. Knew gluten free. Loved the paintings in the walls. All staff was nice. Good experience... Will be back when in the area. Gluten free not makes on the menu but lots of options. Food very good.

Carrie Brees Cravener

Very delicious, great prices, even had gluten free bread. Super friendly employees. Highly recommend!!

We traveled from out of town and chose this place because they had gluten free options. The staff were attentive and the food and margaritas were delicious. During our visit, we also had an unexpected medical issue with my daughter and all of the staff that was able to help were ready to assist. Their actions show that they truly care about the well-being of their customers and the experience you have while dining there.

This place is awesome! The food is always on point and they have the best gluten free enchiladas I have tasted. I highly recommend it and it is definitely one of our favorite restaurants to frequent here in the valley.

I love La Indita. I give them 5 stars! They are like family to me and I feel like I am sitting at the family table when I am eating there. I had my first date with my spouse of 31 years. In fact they catered my wedding! They are good and try to accommodate for gluten-free needs, they are VERY informative about their foods when asked, and I have to tell you their flautas with dipping sauces are the greatest. I am a huge fan of their soups and often get their soups. I love their tacos and mushroom taco is a fav, however, their carne seca taco is fabulous! Their food is homemade and they follow the recipes of their family handed down generation to generation, and it shows. This is a must when you have out of town guests. I love this place.

Had an absolutely AMAZING time at brunch here! We started my husbands birthday with mimosa flights that were amazing. We then had amazing gluten free omelets. The wait staff was so nice they brought out a piece of cake(not gluten free) for my partner and sang him happy birthday. It was so awesome! Totally would come here again if back in Arizona!!

I have celiac. We discussed the issue extensively with the server who assured me I was in a good spot and all would be fine. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. They messed up the order and brought out a wonton taco plated with the corn taco and the server advised the entire plate was gluten free. Only after eating the wonton did I discover the issue. The server apologized and contacted a manager. That’s where things took a bad turn. The manager, a very young blonde female, who clearly couldn’t be bothered with severe food allergies, came out, referred to the situation as a “small issue”, proceeded to blame me, and then offered three separate excuses for why this happened. Setting aside that each excuse was unsatisfactory, it was abundantly clear neither she, or the restaurant, took food allergies seriously. My valentines date/dinner was entirely ruined, not to mention a very expensive trip to Arizona, for which I am only on day 1 and will inevitably spend the rest of the trip in the hotel bathroom. Despite being celiac, I’m a foodie and eat in some of the best restaurants across the country. This may be some of the worst service, and particularly management, I’ve ever seen.

Food was delicious, patio was comfortable. I am on Carnivore and my wife is gluten free, the Keto taco shells were awesome. My meal they separated everything to make it easier to eat. Ordered 12 dozen tortillas to take home to family and freinds. Prices were great.

T. Ray

Love Joyride and visit often. They have plenty of gluten free options and the food is great, plus they have one of my favorite iced teas.

Christina Lombardo

Food was awesome! They had several options for a few people with gluten allergies, which is always a win. They were also great with the large group we had and several kids. I would definitely recommend.

Chilte is an absolute gem in the heart of Phoenix! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was electric — the music, the ambiance, the warm staff — all set the tone for what turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in the city. Let’s talk about the food: INSANE. The burger? Hands down the best my husband has ever had! The kitchen doesn’t just accommodate dietary needs — it elevates them. I’m gluten-free. Every dish was bold, intentional, and bursting with flavor. The craft cocktails were equally unforgettable — creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. Chef LT Lawrence Smith III is a culinary innovator and recent James Beard Award semifinalist. He is an emerging Chef, and you can feel his passion in every bite. Whether you’re local or visiting Phoenix, Chilte is a must. It’s not just a restaurant — it’s a whole experience. We’ll be back. Again. And again. Making a reservation NOW! – Kurt & DeAnna @CoupleyFit

I almost didn’t come here because I couldn’t find it. Turns out the sign says “Frank’s Restaurant” on the outside of the building. I was very impressed by the staff and the food. I told them about my gluten allergy and the waiter was very knowledgeable. He knew what was gluten free and the few things that weren’t. Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free! There is a shared fryer so I did not eat the homemade chips. My aunt thought they were very good. The staff was accommodating and allowed us to bring in gluten free tortilla chips so I could enjoy chips and salsa, too. I had gluten free chicken enchiladas with the red sauce. It was amazing!! Frank (the owner) cooked my meal himself so it would not be messed up. He cooked everything in a separate place from the gluten. He even heated my tortillas in a separate pan to make sure no cross contact occurred. I could tell that everything was homemade from the corn tortillas (which were not grainy at all!) to the beans. Frank said that he will do this (the allergy protocol) for everyone at any time. I was very impressed and would recommend this place to everyone! In my opinion, it is Celiac safe as the staff was very knowledgeable and made sure I could eat everything safely.
