100 percent gluten free menu, and good drinks. They have taco specials, I picked the seafood option. The tacos were good, very fancy with the ingredients. I wish I had tried the meat tacos as well. The passion fruit margaritas was also good.

Ami Baio

Obsessed. Perfection. Would eat here everyday if possible. I didn’t get photos but had horchata, two different vegan tacos and two vegan desserts. Incredible. And gluten free too!!!

Kim Guttinger

One of my favorite spots! Love the guacamole and good veg options!

Sara S.

Hottest restaurant in Corvallis. Bonus points for being 100% gluten free. Cool and friendly staff. Great tacos and great music. Please don't turn it down.

Emilee McKelvey

Loved that we were welcomed as soon as we walked in the door. After learning it was our first time eating here, our host gave us a comprehensive rundown of the menu, crowd favorites, and let us taste test each of the beverages (all of which were tasty and could easily become a fresh cocktail). They have the sampler option, with five mini tacos, or you can order them individually for $3.50+. Highlights: the horchata, the homemade corn tortillas, the barbacoa taco, the shrimp taco, and of course the fact that everything was gluten free for me to enjoy. I will definitely be a frequent regular customer!

Discovered this place on Tik Tok by a previous guest. Placed this on my must do - to do list to come to when adventuring on my 10 day Oregon roadtrip. Very hard to find places that are “true healthy” restaurants when traveling. Stopped in solo 5-30-25 post breakfast hours but before lunch. Was greeted by Cash - SO NICE, great personality!!!! suggestions were made but ultimately I decided to have the Vegan “tuna” chickpea salad sandwich. I had already had breakfast but wanted a light lunch before going hiking. (Had kitchen cut in half for me to take remainder on my hike). Loved the bread (almost sure and hoping it was gluten free) that was toasted lightly but not so hard it was like a crouton. The side soup was a vegetable type soup. Wow! Seasonings were on point with the sandwich and the soup. Bathroom was clean. ONLY THING that had me sad was no souvenir sticker. I travel all over the US frequently and enjoy collecting stickers. I don’t need cups, shirts when traveling. Please consider getting stickers. If I ever come back to Portland area. Hands down you will have a repeat customer coming back. Thank you!!

We went with Verde Cocina as the caterers for our wedding and could not be more pleased with the decision. Literally everyone came up to us to rave above the food. Having the EVO grill there made for a fun addition to the reception and also really made people feel like they were getting the most fresh high quality food. The cocktails were grabbed up almost immediately. Our only regret there was not buying more cocktails. The first bite of crab cake we got after hours of photo taking and wedding stuff will go down as a top 5 bite of food i've ever had. the sentiments were shared by many. Verde Cocina being a gluten-free restaurant and being very sensitive/aware of dietary restrictions was such a massive relief for us and for guests. Arro(in charge of the catering) was so quick with communication, extremely personable, and made the menu selection process a real joy. He's also just a nice guy, by the time we'd actually gotten married he was so excited to say congrats. Probably more that could be said, but I would just say if you are still looking for a catering option, just contact them. It will be worth exploring.

Wow! Amazing homemade tortillas. Incredible gluten free choices.

Tami Rumfelt

Our team at work just enjoyed a brunch catered by Homegrown Oregon Foods. Everything was delicious! The catering manager was so helpful with the ordering process and their service was excellent from start to finish. And, everyone on our team was able to enjoy brunch because Homegrown is certified gluten free. We won't hesitate to order from them again as a team, and I'm now personally looking forward to my next visit for lunch or a take home meal.

Don’t go when they’re understaffed and/or busy if you have food allergies or make substitutions. I ordered a gluten free chicken burrito with black beans (instead of pinto) & guac instead of cheese. I clarified that it was all GF/DF. First they gave me someone else’s GF/vegan burrito. Then they remade the chicken burrito but it had cheese. The next one was GF/chicken/DF and that’s as good as I was going to get (it has pinto beans & no guac, but at least I wasn’t going to get sick eating it). I thought it was awesome that I could get a GF burrito and had done so a few times but their lack of attention to detail making my food tonight will have me rethinking if it’s worth it.

I’m not gonna tell you how good this place is. Matter fact it’s terrible. Please don’t come here. It’s already crowded enough. Besides you don’t like tacos. Especially these hoity-toity deluxe gourmet amazing wait don’t come here. Please stop reading this review. Just hopped back in your car and go down to the absolute terrible terrible monstrosity of a Thai restaurant in Mount Shasta that I keep writing about. Before you go, would you pass me some of that amazing chipotle salsa for me to put in my delicious gluten-free fish taco? Wait you aren’t still reading, are you?

Mark Loehr

Absolutely awesome!! Personally living gluten free is difficult to find safe, good food. Verde Cocina delivered. I LOVE Mexican food, but worry about flour cross contamination. Not Here! The food was fresh, hot, tasty and service was spot on perfect. I am now a new regular! Thanks!

Quilan Dutton

Always great service. Friendly staff. The food is fresh and tasty. Gluten free options!! One of my regular stops when in town.

Michelle McAuliffe

Such a great local spot. Excellent place for gluten free food. The staff is always friendly and attentive.

Merry “Merrycyclist”

Very Casual tasty food in a bustling family friendly cafe. Plenty of seating and lots of gluten-free options.

Kinzie Ridgewell

Super gluten free options and AMAZING food. Tacos were incredible (did have cheese - in case dairy is a problem). Great food.

Monica Soto

Great service and lovely ambience. The food was excellent and very welcome alternative to most of fried seafood options nearby. Vegetarian and gluten free options, too. Agua de Jamaica was so refreshing.

Carolyn Luppens

This place is fantastic! The fish tacos are delicious and portions are large. The fries are excellent and I love the dark meat gluten-free fried chicken. And waffles! They have a ton of sauces to choose from - spicy Thai is my favorite. The employees are always kind and attentive. I love the ambiance at The Lot. The summer is festive and it’s cozy in the winter with heated benches and fire pits. Highly recommend!

Cole Somers

This cart is awesome. Something for everyone. I love that it is all gluten free. The blue corn tortillas are fresh and amazing. The mole sauce is very flavorful and delicious as well. Seems there are a limited number of vegan options but the dishes I have tried including the mole enchiladas, and veggie tacos all vegan were really good. I will keep coming back and tell my friends.

Ashly Pittman

We recently ordered takeout from Chilango and were impressed with the deliciousness of everything we tried. The taco campana and mini quesadillas were particular favorites, and I would highly recommend them to any vegan or gluten-free food enthusiasts out there.

Elijah Steinbauer

This was a great restaurant experience. We had a group of 8 and half of us showed up early and had some cocktails on their patio. Once we were all there we asked if they could seat 8 people and they were able put something together in just a few minutes. The host and waiter were very nice and helpful. The food was amazing. Most of my group got sandwiches or tortas and they had high praise. They regrettably don't have a gluten-free torta option 😞. They did have amazing vegetarian options. I did get a bowl with carnitas and it was still super good. I will definitely eat here again.

Misty Baker

Very clean and friendly. Also very celiac friendly

Mari Kim

Was looking for a juicing place. Thrilled to find Nourish. The juices here are cold pressed daily and the recipes are perfect. Green #1 and Love Your Liver (beet based) are the two that I order regularly. They are consistently balanced and delicious, not sweet or cloying, but fresh and refreshing. The café also serves Ramen with the yam noodles that are nutritionally dense and gluten free, tacos then include pork with kimchi, and fermented dishes. The owner is highly knowledgeable and clearly committed to high-quality food production that doesn't compromise taste or nutrition. Truly friendly service that doesn't treat you like a number or a tab. Couldn't recommend more highly.

This is our local go to spot! Celiac friendly, quality food, great service. Highly recommend!

Alexis

Mezcaluna has delicious food, a lively yet pleasant atmosphere, and the option for outdoor seating, which is heated and sheltered when the weather calls for it. There are options for those who need dishes to be made dairy-free, gluten-free, and/or vegan. The dishes are reasonably priced for your average dine-out cost nowadays.

al0662

Best Mexican food I ate in the entire world. Coming from the Netherlands this was a great experience. Great, service, great food and a good price / quality balance. And lots of gluten-free options 👍

john barrera

for starters the service was excellent and the food is delicious all hand prepared along with gluten free menu and the atmosphere is old school ! if your scared of flags stay in portland and eugene....i will stop there to have a meal there everytime i drive thru that area .....

Tommy Darden

Great food and service. The owner personally assured my family about their gluten-free options. We've been regular customers and the experience has been consistently excellent!

Sea Dragon

This is where I will be going on date night or birthdays. Outdoor dining options are great in spring and summer, for our Covid cautious family. Happy hour is well worth it, delicious Birria tacos are gluten free and their Nojito is a great option for those who don’t drink but want to have a little cocktail in the sunshine. The small plates were so flavorful and rich a little goes a long way. We enjoyed the elotes and our daughter who is a picky eater said it was the best quesadilla she had ever had. They offered crayons and a menu to color which was also fun for her, as a nine year old. The pricing was very reasonable, we fed all three of us for less than what we would have spent on overhyped food in Portland, and the quality was exceptional. We will totally drive from PDX all the way over here again.

Scott McGillivray

This restaurant is a great choice for when you're hungry for Mexican food and a great margarita. There's lots of variety in the menu, and they're happy to accommodate dietary needs like gluten-free, dairy-free, veg, etc. I always leave full and happy.

Jessica Mroczek

Group catering order for 15 people. Food was gotten free and prepared with fresh utensils. Plenty of food for everyone. Tasty, fresh, and well packaged for travel. Made it a breeze to serve a large family with multiple food issues (gluten free, keto, vegetarian, meat eaters)

LJ S

Never disappointed when we eat here! Onsite or to go its always friendly staff and delicious food. Great job on Gluten Free.

Christina Finley-Bates

Aside from being incredibly delicious... They were very accommodating to my Gluten-Free Vegan needs. Definitely a 10 out of 10!

Ariana Tobe

Perfect. No notes. Amazing flavor. Great value for the amount of food. The cabbage bowl was such a substantial size! I eat gluten free so it’s always so exciting to see menu items clearly labeled for me to order. My bf got this for me to-go and I already plan to go this weekend to try the rest of the menu! Congratulations on the new opening!

Ali Parkerson, MS NTP

My husband and I are both gluten & dairy free for the most part and they accommodated beautifully. We got the delicious taco salads they were so flavorful and filling we made it into 2 meals. Highly recommend this place.

J B

Amazing food and service. Probably the best Latin resteraunt in Central Oregon. Fresh corn tortillas and superb mescal margaritas. Plenty of gluten-free and vegetarian options

Jesse Lee

I have celiac disease so this is one of 2 places i litterally ever go to eat, i frequent it probably on avg twice a week and it pains me to say that i will not be going back anymore. For the past 2 weeks every time i go in my food has been obscenely greasy, sometimes i have the time to ask for a remake but sometimes I'm omw somewhere or have work soon so i don't have the time to really check everything and ask them to remake it but the past 3 times I've been in my food has been nearly inedible. I had the street tacos and squeezed the grease out of a single taco to have it fill a space on my plate larger than my hand. I've tried asking for less grease on my food several times now and it almost feels like i get more each time i ask. I just financially cannot afford to spend this much money on food that is nearly inedible and when i do eat it cause i don't really have another option at the time i pretty much always get sick from the gratuitous amounts of grease.

Chelsea

One of my go-to's being gluten-free since they have certain protocols when told gluten-free. It makes me feel secure in my choice of eating there, and everyone is typically really friendly when having to handle with care due to gluten issues. While one is taking old spoons out of the food you want someone else is washing their hands before putting new spoons in and then the other person washes their hands gets new gloves before getting your food sometimes they even wash down the counter and use a pan to put your bowl on so it's not directly on the counter. Great experience each time!

Beverly Peterson

The food is excellent and they offer a wide selection of gluten-free and dairy-free options. The service is outstanding. However, the upstairs bar area can get quite noisy.

Andrea Wyland

Owner or management is celiac they accommodate dietary restrictions for gluten allergy and have a dedicated fryer. Amazing fajitas and chips and salsa and the spicy strawberry margaritas!

Alice Jones

AMAZING FOOD! Got catering for a staff party and was perfect for groups with dietary restriction as everything is gluten free! Staff was incredibly helpful and great to coordinate with. Everyone loved the food and even the left overs are still crispy the day after! A must try if you are in the area!

Nicola Householder

We absolutely loved having our 55-person wedding at Bar Carlo. The owner Mel is at the same time very supportive and very low-key, which made for a smooth planning process and day-of event. The space is gorgeous, and has multiple connected wings, which allowed for the the party to morph seamlessly over the night from barside cocktail hour to outdoor patio ceremony to dinner buffet to dance floor. The space is already a beautifully decorated artwork, and Mel lets you decide how to arrange the space for your event, but you can also bring your own decorations/sound system/llama and she can handle those additions easily. 🙂 The food and drinks were delicious too, and Mel was able to accommodate our entirely vegan and gluten-free menu without hesitation. Overall we loved the unique-ness, flexibility and good vibes of the space and the people of Bar Carlo, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cute and fun space for their wedding or other event. -Nicola & Lou

Great bowl! Good alternative for the burrito. I am Gluten-free and I will be back.

The staff went above and beyond! Thank you so much. If you have celiacs let them know and they will do awesome! Store was clean and food delicious!

Karen Quinn

The food was delicious and they have an extensive menu. Some in our party are allergic to gluten and they did a great job of avoiding cross contamination. Our server was friendly and efficient. I recommend this restaurant and will definitely return.

As the III suggests, this is the third location for the El Trio Loco family, with other restaurants in Manzanita and Gearhart. We became fans of the one in Manzanita, but we live in Rockaway, so this one is in walking distance. The staff is friendly and has made a point of opening up to the community; they had a regular table at our Artisan Farmers Market all summer, selling aguas frescas and tamales between the organic farm table and the Rockaway Renaissance Artists. My current favorite is their chile relleno, a big, fresh poblano chile blistered and peeled, then filled with cheese and wrapped in a thin, delicate egg layer more like a crepe than an egg dip. It's available in the usual combinations, but the flavor of roasted chile transports me. If you're very hungry, their chuletas de puerco are superb. The dish includes two generous pork rib chops (think prime rib of pork) in a warm, savory spice blend. It's served on a bed of sauteed onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños, so heat is available if you want it. But be hungry: the first chuleta will satisfy an ordinary appetite (especially if you're on your second bowl of chips and salsa). They also do whole fish (tilapia) al mojo de ajo, with a crispy golden crust over tender delicate white fish. That's another that's suitable for sharing. And because the crust is made from corn meal, it's gluten-free. Drinks include a wide selection of tropical-themed libations, including several unique twists on the margarita. One favorite is the Margarita Oaxaqueña, which uses mezcal (a smokier version of tequila, made by roasting the agave plant instead of steaming it) and Grand Marnier, all with a Tajin rim (salt, chile powder, and dried lime). They also use the Tajin rim on my new favorite, the Jamaica Margarita. In this case, jamaica refers to the dried hibiscus flower used to make a tart, refreshing beverage. When you add tequila, triple sec, and Tajin, it raises it to a whole new level. Perhaps best of all, El Trio Loco is open till 9 PM most (all?) nights—a rarety in Rockaway. (In the past, we've had to explain to visitors looking for dinner at 7 PM that they're out of luck: most places here are closed by then.)

April Bacewich

Fun vibe! Friendly service! Currently featuring live music Thursday-Saturday. Good food that’s elevated in a very casual environment. Chef is a fan of chili flakes. Kinda pricey. ($20-$30 entrees) Indoor and outdoor seating. To get dairy free and gluten free options, you have to ask for menu modifications, which they happily accommodated. Not celiac friendly. Fun drink menu! Nice date night addition to Newberg! 🥂
