This place is incredible, I wouldn’t even believe it wasn’t 100% gluten free if I didn’t know it already. The eggplant tostada was absolutely incredible! Everything here was perfect.
Where's The Flour is where it's at! The first time we went there we were blown away. This is a celiac friendly restaurant that isn't a dessert place. Not only for gluten free, but for those with other allergies too. We've been able to get dairy free and egg free. The staff is friendly. It's made those with food allergies/sensitivities/insecurities feel more normal. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anybody.
Very celiac friendly, the food is very fresh and vibrant. The staff is friendly and helpful. I wish it had a bigger seating area so I could bring everyone I know :)
Amazing! Everything on the menu is gluten-free!!! We got tacos and a chicken bowl - DELICIOUS! I was so bummed to learn they were closed on Tuesdays because I wanted to order it one more time on our way out of town. I will be back!
Saw so many positive reviews stating this was celiac-safe, good for those with gluten issues, and delicious---but when we went, the very first thing was saw was someone patting down flour tortillas on the line preparing someone else's food, and they went straight in with the same gloved hands into the cheese and other ingredients, contaminating everything (tho it was surely already well-compromised before we saw it). We had no choice but to drop out of line waiting to order and find another place to eat. A real shame--we were so ready to have something delicious and safely gluten-free after an hours-long drive in all the bad winter weather with this place in mind for dinner. :(
I have severe celiac and I safely ate delicious food here! My server was kind and knowledgeable. I was told by my partner and brother that the gluten food was also delicious.
La Tapatia 5 stars because the food really showed out! Authentic, flavorful Mexican food, definitely some of the best in Minnesota and felt like it was a hidden gem for sure. We came on a Saturday, at about 4/4:30, before the dinner rush, purposefully.
Service: We were warmly greeted after entering their somewhat long hallway. Our server was helpful with the menu when we asked but never smiled. They weren’t busy at this time and I felt like they were attentive.
Food: this is where they shine! We loved everything we ordered. We started with Queso Blanco, Guacamole and freshly made chips. Everything was good, particularly the chips. For our main course we ordered tacos and Burrito. The Tacos we ordered (which were all corn) included the Al Pastor (4/5) street style, Chorizo (5/5) Tejano style, Pescado (fried fish- 4/5), Camarones (grilled shrimp 5/5) Tejano style, Burrito was vegetarian (5/5). We also ordeeed a large rice, which was the best Mexican rice we have ever had. We loved all the salsas and tried each of them. The hot was hot but totally still enjoyable. The Salsa verde and Salsa Aguacate (w/avocado) were are favorites and both milder. The only drink menu we were given has beers on it (which neither of us usually do) but we shared a raspberry beer, it was nice. Unfortunately we were too full to try desserts but they looked delicious and I heard they are. Food portions are not large, so you definitely won’t feel like you’re overeating.
They have gluten-free options, and vegetarian options so you can find something for almost everyone.
Atmosphere: It was warmly decorated with high ceilings. It’s not a large place but I’m sure would accommodate a lot more if it were summer and the patio area was open for sure. It wasn’t loud but then again, we came before a rush. The seating is not the most comfortable, as it’s high tops or diner tables with metal chairs (high top chairs have no backs).
It felt like a family/kid friendly area and lots to look at. You go for the food and you will be pleasantly surprised. I definitely recommend and we plan to come back!
Came here twice in a row for lunch.
Saucy tots tacos are righteous!
Falafel was pretty darn good.
Bean taco was even tasty.
The place is a bit gritty, but I could have cared less after biting into those tasty tacos!
Tots tacos and falafel are marked as Not Gluten free on the menu, however, if you're not bothered by shared oil for frying, they are, for sensitivity only, gluten free enough for me!
I'm definitely stealing the idea for tots tacos at home!
Yummy food. Almost everything is gluten free except the tortillas. The workers changed their gloves and we're careful not to contaminate our food. I was thrilled that they have horchata (cinnamon rice milk drink) which is hard to find in the midwest. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again.
Had a fantastic meal at Machete. My companion had dietary restrictions, so we decided to go out for Mexican food. Our food arrived promptly after ordering, the drinks we ordered were delicious, the service was excellent, and the live music added to the overall enjoyable dining experience.
The service was great and the atmosphere was very nice. The food was decent, but not amazing. I think they are trying really hard to get the farm to table, real food feel, but fall short in a couple of areas. They should use real ketchup, and the cheese on their cheeseburger was like plastic. Also, there weren't very many vegetable options. We asked for the brussel sprouts to be sauteed instead of fried, but they wouldn't do it. That was disappointing. Glad they have some gluten free options. The chicken was excellent- you can tell it's high quality. We will definitely come back, but I hope they try to raise the bar on their other ingredients and not use so much vegetable oils, but instead use butter, lard, or things that really do come from a farm.
Update: we did get a phone call from the owner who said normally they can make vegetables with butter in a pan. Appreciate the follow up.
I ate here as a celiac who was just diagnosed 6 months prior. They have a lot of gluten free items on the menu so I asked how those would be prepared. I was told the corn tortillas and chips are cooked separately from the flour tortillas. I opted for the steak fajitas and asked for a glove change and just double checked about the corn tortillas. Was reassured they were cooked separately. After 2.5 hours I did not have a reaction
Casa Rio is utterly amazing!! You can taste the love they put in their food. My favorite is the seafood enchiladas. Other places use small diced pieces but not here! Big chunks of deliciousness!! The food is made from scratch down to to taco sauce.And yes you must get the award winning queso and margaritas. The queso is gluten free!! My favorite margarita is the El Rey. It's DTA's best hidden gem! You can tell the owner really cares and takes pride in his place. So worth checking out!!!!
Came here specifically for the gluten free options for my coeliac daughter. Disappointed that the nachos are marked GF but actually cooked in the same oil with gluten ingredients. But happy that the waitress was aware and alerted us. There are other GF options - we had a shredded chicken bowl which was GF. Reasonably tasty and a good quick pre-flight meal.
I love Taco Libre! They have many gluten free options to choose from. In my opinion way better than Chipotle and Pancheros! For a limited time they are serving chilaquiles and they are fantastic! $11 for a really good sized order!
The food is fresh and tasty! I love that the salsas pack a nice bit of heat, the fillings are flavorful, and the portions are reasonable.
We ordered here for lunch. Our group is a bit tricky in that we have some plant based folks, some Gluten-free folks, allergies etc. The staff was knowledgeable about ingredients and offered great options. We were able to easy suit everyone's needs. It was a bit hit!
Thank you!
Great authentic food. Daughter and I are gluten intolerant and have had no issue with the food. Get the El Surco 18!!! Meal for 2. Paloma was good too.

The owner and bartender were very attentive and caring. They offered gluten-free buns and pizza, and the special was a big burger with tater tots for only $6. The drinks and beer were great, and they also had gluten-free options available. I can't wait to go back again!

I love this place, and their sister restaurant next door.
Everything here is delicious.
And the outdoor patio is large, and first come first serve.
I see lots of dates happening here, and lots of dogs on the patio.
Parking can get congested during peak times, so plan accordingly.
Gluten Free options!!
Great authentic food and great service. One of our party has Celiac and they were very careful to not cross contaminate. It wasn't very busy at the time... That's the only reason for 4/5 on atmosphere
Excellent food! A wide selection of vegetarian and nonvegetarian tacos (even gluten-free if you choose corn tortilla shells.)
They have live music several nights of the week. The restaurant is closed on Monday and Tuesday.
It's definitely one of our family favorites!
Went here for the first time since they opened and am glad I did. The food was awesome!!! We had Birria tacos and Birria Ramen. They also have a decent selection of gluten-free items !!
I really wish they still had the tostadas from the dollar menu. Those were so delicious, and that corn shell was perfect for us gluten-free folk. Please bring back the tostada! I also miss the breakfast skillet. That was also another delicious gluten-free alternative I loved, that they've gotten rid of. Please bring back the breakfast skillet! Otherwise, I'm always happy with the food I get and better prices than most places.
The tacos here are amazing. I’ve done takeout here and dine in. They are fast and affordable. The service is wonderful! Above and beyond. The food is delicious and gluten free (or at least most of it I think). The parking is a bit weird, but not bad if you don’t mind walking 1 minute. It’s right near the lake and other shops you can visit after or before eating.
I go here because it's one of the only fast food drive throughs where I can get something somewhat gluten-free. I like that it's consistent, regardless of location. I've not ever had an issue with poor service or not getting what I ordered.
Celiac friendly
