Delicious gluten-free burgers! Knowledgeable and family-owned.

April Henry

My celiac family stops here whenever we visit the zoo. ☺️

Kris Hamacher

Food is excellent, lots of gluten free options suitable for someone with celiac. Service is great, but it's very loud and overly crowded. Tables are extremely close and people are often yelling at each other, which isn't how I like to brunch. If you go early it's not as bad.

I was blown away by how friendly and accommodating they were here. My husband, myself and my 4 year old daughter came in and they were immediately very accommodating to our family. I have celiac and they walked through the only 2 items that cannot be prepared gluten-free and then noted it's a dedicated fryer and they take care to keep those few items away from the other prep spaces to avoid cross contamination. They assured me I would be safe eating there which was so incredibly kind. Now onto the food! We had fried plantains, panuchos and flautas. All very flavorful and fresh. We also ordered the horchata and a margarita which were both great as well. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

Everything about this restaurant was amazing, the atmosphere, the staff and the food. Our server Luis was awesome. The ham & cheese stuffed French toast was delicious as was the biscuits and gravy. They also had some great gluten-free options for my daughter. It was within walking distance to wrigley field so it worked perfectly for us to eat there prior to the game.

The visit was a mixed bag. It is nice they have a gluten free dedicated fryer for my wife's dietary needs. The help was friendly and inviting, and the food was tasty. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the order. We found the crispy cheddar curds had more vegetables than cheese curds and the portions were not consistent as our party of 4 had considerably less food than the party of 2 had next to us (served at the same time at the bar). We saw another order about 20 minutes later, and it was the same amount as our neighbors (a mound heaping over the bowl at the bar as well). We all ordered burgers, and my daughter's and my burgers were mixed up (fortunately we caught it before eating) and neither of us had the pickles as stated on the menu. Additionally, my burger was over cooked (previous reviews we saw heralded how cooking temperature was spot on). They did take it back, remade it, and it was fantastic. The menu is very limited (8 entrees) so one wouldn't expect the various mix ups. Is it worth a shot coming here again. Yes. The staff and food is good, so I will consider giving it another shot.

Great gluten free restaurant! Love the vibe and all the options. Recommend for brunch or dinner... Check it out!

Claire Smolinski

Our family went here while on vacation and we are so glad we did!! Huge selection of vegan food and everything was beautiful and tasted amazing. Super friendly staff. Gluten free items are clearly labeled on the menu. Anytime we are back in the area we’ll be sure to eat here!

Kassie

Celiac friendly! 99% gluten free. Separate fryers!

Jeana Roth

Fantastic! Their corn tortillas are gluten free and absolutely delicious!

Sarah W

Good upscale Mexican restaurant with GF food! Safe celiac protocols but not many options- I couldn’t have the chips which was a bummer.

Liv G

More than half the menu is gluten free. They use separate fryers and prep space for the gluten free items. Everything is vegan. Soy free options too. Very yummy!!

William “Wil” Sipla

Called at 3 minutes to 9 and they turned down my business. Being a celiac this is highly disrespectful considering we don't have many places to eat. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. The people that work here obviously don't have food allergies, so they don't respect our needs. After this incident I'll never eat here or tell anybody to eat here.

Lauren Kieninger

Veggie staple! I love the new menu changes! I have been eating here for at least 13 years and I am thrilled to have newer options. Love all the gluten free options now too, especially that new cheesecake. So nice to see a little menu revamp while keeping the favs. Well done! - also their delivery travels/holds up a lot better than most, so that's a plus.

Great selection of gluten free options!

Monika Weimer

We looooove this place. Feels old school in the best way. Great service and they do a kick-ass gf pizza that I feel comfy eating as a celiac. Get the onions on top

Emily Schwefel

Came here with the family and had a wonderful time! Adrian was our server, he was so kind and helpful! He was also super knowledgeable about all the gluten free options on the menu and brought out my tacos in a separate dish! Great atmosphere, food, and drinks! Will definitely be back soon!

Stefani Godina

The food is amazing and the customer service is just as great! You can definitely tell the food is made with so much love. I've enjoyed several outings here and always leave so satisfied. Gluten free options make for a 10/10 recommendation! Tell a friend to tell a friend.

Alan Rodriguez

An absolute gem. If you have a gluten-free diet, feel confident here. I dined with a group of 6, and I was the only one who needed gluten-free options. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Even my friends, who ordered non-gluten free dishes, loved everything. The drinks were excellent, but the food was beyond amazing.

Matthew Hajost

Hands down the best taco experience I have ever had. Props to Chef Diaz to making an amazing dining experience that boasts a 95% gluten free menu. The flan and gluten free Tres Leche cake are to die for. Parcera and I will be back soon😁

gigi going

Our lunch here was amazing! My boyfriend and I are celiac/gluten free and our server, Amanda S, was so helpful! She was able to get us exactly what we needed! Some of the best service we’ve ever had. 10/10 will be back!

Katharine F

Gluten free options with lettuce wrap or corn tortilla, and you can customize and get rewards on their website if you use it to order ahead. It's 1am. You're drunk/high. Velvet Taco is the only solution.

Katelyn Sager

The person that took care of us, Anthony, was so kind! I have a severe gluten allergy that makes going out difficult. He so happily made my meal safe. He changed out all the serving utensils, washed his hands, put hand sanitizer on, put on new gloves, and grabbed safe lettuce for me. Even when a coworker came to help that didn’t have safe gloves, Anthony chose safety and did not accept the help. This employee goes above and beyond to help his customers fell safe. I will be telling everyone about this experience! This place is great for those with gluten allergies

Erin Rohan

Amazing food, great service and very reasonable prices. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options too!

Jack Bohen

I love this place , i actually only come here because of the manager Tom . He accommodates perfectly for my girlfriend and I . You can come here and make sure you won’t be getting dairy and gluten contamination . It’s actually the only reason we come so often . Thank you Tom !!!!

Sheena Wolfe

My husband and I brought our four boys here (ages 2-12). They had good kids options at a good price. I have several food allergies, including gluten and dairy. It was easy to find something to eat. I had a bowl and could only eat half of it. My 5 year old thought the nacho cheese sauce was a little spicy but they do offer shredded cheese instead (and he's super picky so it's probably fine for most). I will come here again.

Laura

Every happy I went here! I have (non-classical) celiacs, so I have to be very careful of gluten & cross-contamination. At the end of the menu they list which items are specifically gluten-free and the rest are likely cross-contaminated. Never saw this before anywhere, impressive off the bat! The waitress was knowledgeable as well and gave great service! I had barbacoa tacos, cauliflower rice (never had before & much tastier than I expected) plus black beans. My husband is picky about salsas but liked it quite a bit. Meal was great-tasting with reassurances of safety plus excellent service. Definitely recommend and look forward to coming back!

jessica beltran garcia

My family & I (husband, 13 & 9 yo) LOVE this place! The food is DELICIOUS & the owners are VERY accommodating to gluten & dairy free. I am currently healing my gut and have such a restricted diet and they were very kind and accommodated my needs. This is a great restaurant with nutritious food. We LOVE Riobamba!

Mia Z

I love how gluten free friendly this place is. I don’t have celiac but I generally try my best to follow a gluten free diet, I would call ahead of time for any questions. Food always tastes fresh and well seasoned. Slightly pricy but also expected in Chicago, and I don’t mind paying slightly higher for better quality. Pick up is an easy experience too.

Penelope Bell

I enjoyed eating here. They had multiple gluten free options and the food was great. Also I have the same name as the restaurant which is funny. The only reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5 is due to them having desert options listed on the menu but not regularly carrying most of them. Also the chips were somewhat burnt and really not worth the price.

Michael Santoyo

My first visit was great, quick preparation, gluten free, 10 out of 10 get the Kermit and a lilac margarita 👨‍🍳😘

Cherie Campion

Random find to stumble on. Good gluten free options.

Bruce Norquist

Tallboy Taco is an amazing place for tacos. They make their own chips, too. Very intentional with dietary needs. I am gluten-free and their on line menu is very clear about which tacos are gluten-free and vegan. The on person menu isn't quite so clear. But you can always ask or go online to check.

Samantha H

So fun! Riley and the kitchen were wonderful with my gluten allergy!! Definitely recommend!

Marilyn Sullivan

Out of the ordinary food. Super Good. Love the selections. Superb service! Greeted the minute you walk in the door! All of this and more. Friendly service and atmosphere. Only coffee this morning, but eat here on a regular basis. Accommodating for gluten sensitivity.

Pam Poglitsch

Great service Good food. Gluten free and veganian food also. See pictures.

KevinandBrittany Olson

Great tacos and nachos and spicy margaritas. Sat on the patio and had really nice shade and some fans. Service was great. Was able to swap flour shell for corn to be gluten free. Have been a few times and food is always consistently good. Pork belly Siracha are my favorite. Wife got nachos as meal and they were really good!

Heather Murphy

Ordered catering for 25 people. Everything was ready on time, fresh, delicious, and generous with all the toppings. They also helped me with a GF (true celiac) option and a vegan option. Highly recommend.

Amber Easterling

Great spot for GF Mexican food!! Almost everything on the menu is or can be made gluten-free using corn tortillas. The only exceptions are quesadillas and burritos! They have a dedicated fryer for chips! The staff is very knowledgeable about the menu!

Todd Lee

Emy Moore

Most of their menu is GF, they used to have seperated fryer

Gabrielle Stephens

Paul Rzepka

Amie Krueger

GLUTEN FREE GOODNESS! I have had a lot of their taco 🌮z, yet I CRAVE the Shrimp Tacos and all these AMAZING Salsas 😋

Camryn Slosky

I have a gluten allergy and Drew was fantastic at making sure to confirm everything that was and wasn't gluten free

First time at this location and was blown away. Food was great especially at the price point and open windows created a cool vibe. Also appreciated the gluten free options that were delicious.
