Top 10 Gluten-Free Mexican Spots to Enjoy in Lexington

David Gentry

What started out as a not so good service, was turned in to a good one. My daughter has celiac, and I ordered a gluten free dinner to go. When I arrived home, there was flour tortillas in her meal. I called the restaurant back, talked to the manager Gali. She apologized and hand delivered her a new meal. I can’t thank Gali enough for caring about the service and my daughter condition enough to offer correction. Papi’s, great choice as a manager. Gali, keep up the great work.

We love dining at Corto Lima. This place knows how to do Mexican food in a way that will surprise it's guests! Their menu is filled with an array of delicious dishes that are sure to satisfy your palate. And there are quite a few vegan and gluten free dishes for those v/gf peeps. Let's start with their guacamole because it's been our go to. It's rich and bursting with flavor. Served on a grape leaf and topped with finely chopped onions and tomatoes, you can really taste the freshness of the avocados, and it was just the right amount of tangy. Without a doubt, we're in love with their guac! The spicy margs are exceptional as well. They use a cousin to the jalapeno that gives the marg a more reddish tint and taste even fresher. Very well done. We also tried their ceviche which was good but not what you'd normally expect from a ceviche dish. It came topped with corn nuts which added an interesting twist. Definitely worth trying if you're up for something different. Among our favorites was definitely the Lomo Saltado. The flavors were bold and spicy which made it mouth-wateringly good! The meat was tender and cooked to perfection. Of course, you really can't go wrong ordering any of their tacos. Just slightly smaller portions. If you're in search of scrumptious Mexican food that stays true to its roots while offering unique twists, this place won't disappoint!

Great place for gluten free celiacs

The food was lackluster, my tacos were dry, and the flavors were just ok. The service was absolutely minimal, a little snippy at the register and food delivery was fine. The atmosphere is loud, and kinda worn out but clean. I thought this place was great when it opened. I went every week, but I became gluten intolerant and they only have 3 tacos that I can eat, so I've only come back a couple of times. Both visits in the last year were like this so I feel fine saying that it's mediocre.

Food was great but at this particular location they do NOT have dedicated pans and fryers unlike the app says they do. They have lots of gluten free options and are very understanding and accommodating, but also are upfront about how their food is handled. They had a sign talking about their policies and that there is a risk of cross contamination. The information on Atly is incorrect, but they do have tasty gluten free food. Just a decent risk of cross contamination.
