Courtney Hollingsworth’s

Delish! FRIED chicken, fish, and shrimp tacos, all gluten free!

Garrett S.

Great service, good for large groups. Our group of 10 sat outside on the back patio and it was very comfortable. The food was full of unique flavors. They have lots of gluten-free and vegetarian options. The sweet potato fajitas were perfectly cooked. Equal parts sweet and spicy.

Marie Hornung

My friend is gluten free and I’m a vegetarian, so it’s hard for us to find places for us to both eat. We were so impressed and absolutely blown away by the flavors, textures, and quality. Everything was amazing and we will be coming back!!! The honey mustard chicken sandwich tasted like a mcchicken and it made me emotional. So good!!

Taylor Sanders

Jennifer was my server. She was super sweet. She was also crushing it at serving the whole place. She reassured me that I everything I ordered was and could be made GF and even put in gluten allergy for me (I have celiac) so I felt very comfortable knowing that she knew what she was talking about. And the tacos were delicious. I will be back

Trisha Schreck

It would be nice if they offered gluten free toast or English muffin. Paying full price and not being able to have a substitution offered or even when asked for what they have in gluten free (fruit or half a waffle) is not accommodating to guests who are gluten free (not by choice). Colorado offers it, they should too.

Great spot for lunch. There are also several other options around. I got lunch here and dessert from somewhere else. Love that their entire menu is gluten-free.

Nina Jaramillo

The food here is absolutely amazing, and the service is wonderful as well! Everything is vegan, and there are a couple of menu items that can be made gluten free, or are already gluten free! It's a great place to go if you want comfort food like burgers or chicken fingers!

The philly cheesteak nachos were delicious. Also enjoyed the tater tacos, a serious upgrade from the ole' Taco Bell fiesta potatoes. The extensive gluten free options were a welcome find. Gluten free is a need for our house and can be a challenge to find dining out. Very pleasant staff. Loved the atmosphere. Will have to come again to enjoy the patio seating.

This place makes you feel like you've done yourself a favor. With all the salad varieties you could ask for, sandwiches, soups, and tons of vegan and gluten free options, there's really something for everyone. They have a nice little patio area too. The beet salad was amazing!

Michael Portman

Got two cakes for my birthday, one regular and one gluten free cake for a party I hosted. Delicious cake and one of the staff members helped me carry my cake to my car. Excellent service, taste, and got it right! Everything else at McClain's is also amazing.

Jennifer Lynn

Have loved Xaboo Mephaa since before their restaurant! I have celiac disease and never get sick from cross contamination. Aside from that, the food is delicious. The spicy tomatillo salsa has so much flavor - I always order the same thing and it never disappoints.

I would recommend this place to anybody who needs to be gluten free as they have a completely dedicated gluten-free kitchen. If you want authentic, this place has it and it is really good with lots of different choices. The bathrooms are large and accessible, the bar has a beautiful atmosphere and plenty of seating. They have plenty of seating, staff are very attentive. I never ran out of water, or ice for my other drinks, they are also very knowledgeable about their menu and if you tell them what your specific diet is, what might be the most go-to option or which ones to avoid. I have not sat down in a restaurant and had that great of service in a long time and so it was refreshing. They have plenty of outdoor seating as well if it's a nice day, If you go to St. Louis, this is a must-go-to spot.

Amanda Brunette

This is the place if you want a gluten free alternative or just good food! Been coming here since they opened. It’s our families FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT!

Chaos Entertainment

I got a steak and chicken fajitas. I gave the service 4 stars because I ordered corn tortillas and the kitchen gave me flour tortillas and I'm gluten free. The wait staff was great. I couldn't understand why I got one slice of a tomato normal slices of tomatoes for fajitas. All in all, a nice place to get some Mexican food

A D

Has gluten free and diary free options. Both a plus for me.

Vegan or gluten free goodness

Abigail Dutoit

Can't really go wrong with a Barbacoa Burrito Bowl that's deliciously gluten and dairy free! This location gave very generous portions and we left feeling a bit over-full 😅 Unfortunately, this location has no changing tables in the bathrooms so we had an uncomfortable emergency diaper change on the dirty bathroom floor. This is the third location I've been to now without changing tables which is incredibly frustrating in today's day and age. Do better Chipotle.

Wendi Rose

Some of the best tacos I’ve ever had! Sue, the owner, chatted with us and was so kind! One of our friends has vegan AND gluten free needs and they were able to accommodate her with no issue!

Richard Munsee

Went because of the gluten free options and cinco d mayo and the sever said she was sending over the manager to discuss my options. A female came over and discussed it with me then I ordered the ahi tuna taco gluten free with corn tortillas. We also ordered a margarita and it was non drinkable. When a male came to bring our food he gave me the wrong plate it had beans on it . I told him the manager that came to talk to me said the beans were not safe. He got upset and said he was the manager not her! Then realized he gave me the wrong food anyway. The food I ordered was wrong also as it had been made with soy sauce and was NOT safe for me to eat but he tried arguing with me. I will not be back.

nancy s

The waitress was knowledgeable about gluten free options and the menu is properly labeled. They also can make some tacos gluten free if you ask. My daughter got the big ass nacho which was really fun bc it literally is one big nacho pizza. I love the governors tacos and the portobello taco. Everything I've ever eaten here, even with gluten, is delightful.

Steven Costa

Delicious food and great service and gluten free options galore

Jennifer Barker

If you're gluten free please try this place...it's fresh clean food and they donate a meal every time you purchase. Delicious!! And the blue springs location has excellent customer service.

Brent Bolin

This is a great place to eat. The vegetables were fresh. The menu has a lot of gluten free options.

Eli Barrera

Lovely BBQ Restaurant Plenty of GF options and everyone was extremely friendly. easy eating for someone celiac or any BBQ lover

Ivana B

My favorite Chipotle! We go here quite often and whenever we do, the people that work there are always warm and friendly. I am gluten sensitive and they always treat me like it’s no problem. I feel safe there with my food sensitivity and don’t feel uncomfortable because of it unlike at some other places. The food is really good too.

Emily Fanara

One of my favorite Bars/Restaurants ever. The decor, atmosphere, service, drinks, and food are all top notch! I have celiacs and there are more gluten free options than not which is hard to come by. Super safe, I go here all the time and have never gotten sick. Highly recommend!

KateFace 1980

I have been meaning to try this place forever. I am so glad I did because it's amazing!!! There was a line out the door and I was in and out within 10 min or less. You can create your own anything?!?! A bowl, nachos, burritos, tacos just whatever! They have tons of meat and topping choices. Everything thing is fresh and they are fast they make it right in front of you!!! This is definitely the Mexican Place for you if You need: Low Carb No Dairy No Gluten Need variety In a hurry Tired of the same Ole thing Or are just Picky Going again soon and will change it up next time for sure! Oh and you can order online as well.

Brian Hamrick

This place is fantastic. The people are super nice. They have options for me because I have to eat gluten free. Would highly recommend

Margaret Hagen

I’m gluten free and my friend has alphagal. Excellent options and tastes great. Definitely recommend!

Lauren Hennicke

Great food some gluten free option not much.. I love it if you like Mexican food

This is an update to my previous post. They appear to have different managers now, and do not charge extra for basic changes such as in my previous post. They were better than they had previously been for careful handling for cross-contamination because of food allergies. We enjoyed our recent meal there, and will return. I expect they will now be more like the Chipotle locations we frequent. First post: We eat at Chipotle frequently, but not this location . They provide a reasonably safe gluten free and dairy free meal, even meatless, if desired. This location has treated us poorer than others, charging extra for substitutions (beans in place of rice) for one of our group. We like everything we have tried, unless is was sitting a while and dried out. I do wish they would train all employees how to prepare food for allergies! I usually have to tell them the order to do things to avoid cross-contamination.

Anita Joleen

Amazing food. My daughter is celiac and the waiter was very knowledgeable about every item . She had no problems. It was delicious!

diana toler

Oh Qdoba.....how I love thee. Your gluten free options keep me from being itchy.

Wish there were more gluten free options but my go to is the Thai chili shrimp tacos. They are so delicious!!!! Their cheese dip with chorizo is yummy. Their salsa is too hot for me. It's good but too spicy. I wish they had a mild version. Service is okay. Don't be surprised if there is a little delay with your waitor/waitress. Atmosphere: I wish the music wasn't as loud as it is. But I'm not sure if the building being older and the acoustics just make it seem like the music is loud. Parking can be a pain if you're going during the hot times on the weekends.

Catharina Elizabeth

Hectic vibes, vegan food. Just the way I like it. They have gluten free options, just confirm with someone from the very lovely staff that you have an allergy and they will take good care of you. Thanks so much, we loved it.

Corn

If you’re celiac and have been wanting to indulge without having to worry look no further… she goes above and beyond for those who need gluten free. Almost everything on the menu is safe and she will make sure your food is fried separately!!!! Food was amazing, service was amazing! Thank you ladies for making my sons birthday memorable and for being so accommodating to everyone! We will be back!!!

Staci Marshall

The brisket taco ans elite were my favorite. They are very gluten free friendly.

Elizabeth Howard

Incredibly fresh and flavorful authentic indigenous Mexican food. Tamales and picaditas (thin savory corn cake, open faced with toppings like a street taco) were outstanding. Service was fast, friendly, and answered all our questions. We are always looking for authentic, high-quality Mexican food and we found it at the Xaboo Mephaa. Gluten free options available.

Robyn Smith

Great taco experience. They’re accommodating for gluten allergy. I loved the outdoor patio!

James Kansteiner

Fantastic gluten free menu items and non meat choices 💥🤩

Suzannah Murray

New favorite! Super helpful staff, delicious food. The google review pictures don’t do it justice. We asked about Gluten Free options, and they said they can make any taco gluten free.

Erin Cavender

The restaurant is always dirty when we go in and it’s always the same two girls making the mess. My fiancée has celiac disease and when we asked them for glove changes, they hassled us and acted like they knew better and went so far as to say “the cheese doesn’t have gluten”. It’s always the same issue with the same closing crew. Today one of them used a flour tortilla to hold the rice tray when transferring it because their fingers got too hot, RUINING the rice and making it inedible for my fiancée. It’s honestly ridiculous and we’ll be sure to let others in the celiac community know about the things happening in this store.

Preston Edgar

Great for fold with celiac or gluten intolerance

Kenzie Popken

Good food and service. Tacos served family style at the table. Order by the taco, which is $3-4 per taco. It is celiac/gluten free friendly if order with corn tortillas and do nothing fried. The pictures are the tacos we ordered that were gluten free. Do not have separate fryers for gluten free people. We just didn't order chips due to the fryer. Overall, good flavorful food for decent price.

This is the best Mexican food I have had since we left Texas in 1989. Authentic Tex-Mex. Great Mole sauce— the real thing! I have to eat Gluten Free (or die), and they have so many, many GF dishes, plus the staff actually know what GF means and can suggest and help me order. OMG, this is my favorite restaurant in Springfield now, bar NONE. We always get enough to take home an extra whole meal for each of us the next day. If you love Tex-Mex, you will love this place. Homemade tortillas— I had to ask TWICE about the corn tortillas (they were so tender and fluffy) to make sure they weren’t flour, the first time I tasted them. I haven’t eaten this kind of goodness since my friend’s Mexican Grandma in Dallas cooked for me. I’m not kidding. Great sizeable portions, too. The only truly 5-star place in Springfield!

Had informed my waitress I was celiac and need everything gluten free. Ordered the BLT taco asking to make it gluten free, waitress didn’t inform me that it can’t be made gluten free. The taco came out and I was unaware it still had beer battered bacon on it. I took a bite and realized it wasn’t safe. I’m now dealing with the consequences of eating gluten as someone with Celiac. In addition, my family member had ordered something and requested no sauce. That request also wasn’t met, it came out with sauce.
