Top 37 Gluten-Free Mexican Spots to Discover in Raleigh

So I have autoimmune disease called Celiac Disease and that means gluten and me do not get along at all. This place has great gluten free reviews and was super excited coming here. Well now I am about ready to lose my mind. I asked my usual questions concerning gluten free items and preparations for their food/drinks. I ordered a CIDER and got served a BEER without hesitation. This is actually absurd. When somebody asks you about gluten free items and safety precautions and then immediately within 2 minutes get served a gluten containing item, it’s just actually ridiculous. The server was apologetic and kind but not knowing the difference between beer and cider is disheartening.

I love popping in to Centro for lunch. Great, quick service, and reliably awesome food. The flautas and tacos are my favorites - and they even have a gluten free fried chicken taco which is so so good!

A go-to date night spot for me and my husband. Convenient parking, delicious food, and a unique atmosphere…this restaurant checks all the boxes. Additionally, I have celiac disease and therefore must avoid gluten completely. I never seem to have issues here and they always accommodate & modify my favorite taco (the carne) to make it gluten free. It’s a toss up which dip is the best…they are all amazing. I’ve never had a bad taco here, and my husband loves their burrito el guapo. If you love tacos, don’t hesitate to eat here. By far the best tacos in Raleigh.

They have exceptional, consistent food. On top of that, they are very knowledge of gluten free options and what you can/can't order. Recommended!

A party of four went right before Christmas. Nice selection of gluten-free options for those who need to be careful. Marked on menu and server was knowledgeable. Had chips and queso (GF), Brick Oven Salmon (GF) and chicken alfredo. All were delicious. Nice atmosphere.

This informal restaurant has counter service, with a sauce station, beverage station and both indoor and outdoor tables. The food is terrific! There were many choices, some unique, and included both vegetarian and gluten-free options. Both times I visited, with different people, everyone in my group was happy with their food. The portions are large and prices are reasonable. The sauces are house-made and some of the best around.

I've been here a few times (and done an in-depth review that Google has decided doesn't exist anymore for some reason) and really like it. They have a lot of gluten free and vegan options, especially as taco fillings. They offer vegan cheese, sour cream, rice and beans also. The menu is well labeled. I would've taken more pictures of it, but they were on my last review that has now mysteriously disappeared. So I'll have to add more menu pics when I go back again. Overall, I really like the food and the atmosphere there. Good choices for everyone in your party, no matter the dietary restrictions. So this is a place I'd highly suggest checking out if you're in the area. ***Update 5/22/25*** I took my daughter here for her birthday and we both really enjoyed it. I got the Red Chilaquiles with the vegan chicken, vegan cheese and vegan sour cream. I was told that this time, the only vegan meats that weren't gluten free were the carnitas and the beef. But it can change, depending on the sourcing, so make sure you ask each time if you require gluten free. My daughter got a chicken quesadilla and a beef taco. She really liked the beef in the taco and the quesadilla overall, except for the chicken. So are says next time she'll just get a beef quesadilla and combine the best of both worlds.

Been my go to place for over a year now. For me, best place for Mexican. A place my mom(who has celiacs disease can eat too, which is rare). Owner is the best, friendly, conversationalist. We talk for ages before I even order. Amazing place, 10/10

Gluten free options with corn tortillas. Guacamole was absolutely delish as well!

If you are celiac, do NOT eat here. Sickest I’ve ever been. I was told that my meal was gluten free, but there is no way. After getting sick, I researched and saw that many other people have gotten sick here too. Food isn’t even that good.
