We recently moved to Nashville and are still finding the local haunts - we loved this spot! The ordering system is efficient, the food is well priced and fantastic. Service was also wonderful, our waiter was so friendly! Great place if you have a gluten allergy as well. Check out the pork belly and sesame ribeye tacos!! 🌮
Was in town last week and had dinner at Blanco Cucina for the party of nine. I was a little under the weather but honestly, the food was very nice. The atmosphere was good and our server Elias was exceptional. Enjoyed having him help us pick our meals and make gluten-free suggestions.
The gluten free options is what drew me to Sedona and I was very pleased! We were welcomed with authentic smiles and there was no wait. Our waiter Austin was amazing, very tentative and professional. The food and drinks were good as well with reasonable prices (happy hour). Definitely worth and will go back. Thanks for a pleasant experience and an atmosphere to unwind.
Food was great but the gluten free buns fell apart so ask for a lettuce wrap but that didn’t stop me from finishing the burger. Delish! Pak was a great server and very attentive. Music and atmosphere definitely gave us a taste of Nashville on our layover.
Outstanding flavors! Family style eating with plenty of small, medium, and large plate options🤩. 100% gluten free and I promise you wouldn't know it but so wonderful for those who can't gluten 😍
Absolutely delicious and gluten free! Everything is clearly marked and staff is knowledgeable about food allergy protocol. This has become a new favorite!
We LOVE this taco hub! This is one of the only places my husband (who is very allergic to gluten) can find hard taco shells. Laney was our server this time and was fabulous!
Everyone we’ve ever had wait on us here has been wonderful. The tacos are second to none. We LOVE love love this restaurant; it’s our favorite here! If you’re on the fence, go! Support local artists (the place is full of local art!) and delightful tacos!

<3 This is the best Mexican Restaurant in Tennessee. Everything tastes legit Mexican. Most things in the menu are gluten-free. Ambiance is good (dim lighting, not loud music). Perfect for a date night. Service was great! The chef is from Acapulco and came out of the kitchen to personally ask about our experience. Avocado salsa and all ingredients were fresh. LOVED IT! ~ GF
This place is underrated and a hidden gem. The cowboy arepa was excellent, meat was perfect, flavor was phenomenal, and unlike some arepas I’ve had in the past, this one was not too greasy
My wife got the empanada plate and absolutely loved it; they can also accommodate gluten free/celiac
We will for sure be back here!
Love this place! We all struggle not to overeat here. All the tacos are delicious. I have a gluten allergy. They are quick to accommodate me and I've never gotten sick.
First off, I want to give props to the employees, because they were genuinely friendly and helpful. I have a gluten allergy so they were able to help me navigate that. But...there were some issues that majorly detracted from our experience. For one, all of the surfaces were sticky. For instance, as we were walking to our table, our shoes were sticking to the floor, and at our table, our food trays were sticking there too. Definitely not pleasant. If we hadn't already ordered, I don't think we would've. Second, the water (from the soda machine) was actually undrinkable. It had a nasty taste and a horrible ring. I took one sip and almost spit it out. My mom had the same issue and she had even used the other dispenser. As far as the food was concerned, these are average tex-mex style tacos (not adding or subtracting points for that) but the guacamole was delicious!
In essence, the customer service couldn't outweigh the unpleasant store conditions, unacceptable water quality, and average at best food. I like the concept of this store; I hope they make improvements.
I really appreciate that they have some gluten free and seemingly healthier options! However, shrinkflation is outrageous and I don’t think I’ll be eating here anymore. Today, you get one mini taco, hardly filled, with two tortillas, at the price that hasn’t changed since 2-3 years ago. And back then, you got two overfilled tacos with 4 tortillas for the same exact price they are now. It really doesn’t need to be this way and the people are over it!
We got a massive to go order from this place, everything was delicious. Queso rice was especially good. Great option for gluten free and gluten loving people.

Besides the food and margaritas being absolutely amazing, we were in awe of the amazing staff. Our server Jeff was beyond kind, explained the menu to us, helped us with gluten free and nut free options, and had fun with us! Overall experience was 10/10 and will absolutely be going back.
If you have a 6+ people the shareable meal option was more than enough food and delicious.
A favorite of both kids and parents. Delicious tacos! Great appetizers. Outdoor seating area is kept clean. Great for celiacs who need gluten free options!!!
Best queso in Nashville and excellent service! Took allergies seriously - they fry their chips in a separate fryer. As anyone with celiac in town knows, that’s very rare and much appreciated. Staff was warm and knowledgeable. We will be back often!

Many gluten-free options as shared plates, entrée, and dessert. I had a wonderful birthday dinner here with the topper being the gluten-free cherry cheesecake.
everything was awesome! our server Emma was so kind and accommodating, especially with being gluten free! great cocktails, great food, great service. get the street corn
Babalu East Memphis is not as loud as a Babalu Midtown, but it's still a little loud for a lot of conversation. However, the food is so good (and there are a lot of choices for us celiacs) that I go anyway, when I get a chance. I had a great glass of red sangria (made on site) and my companion had a yummy looking drink, but I forgot what it was. The service was good, and I especially enjoyed the new server who made the guacamole table side. Can't wait to go back!
This booth in the farmer’s market is excellent. They have a wide selection of food to choose from for gluten-free vegans. Their potato tacos are excellent. Don’t knock it til you try potato tacos.
The esquites are a delicious snack that are 100% vegan! They served the food quickly and it’s hard to beat the atmosphere of the Nashville’s Farmer Market.
This is a fun place with good food. Marie is always our server and does A fantastic job! I have dietary restrictions and she always puts together a good gluten-free, dairy, free dish for me. I recommend it and ask for Marie!
This place is amazing. It is way better than chipotle or other fast casual Mexican grills. They are super family, friendly, gluten-free friendly, and the food is all made from scratch. It is really easy to customize your order to fit your preferences. You can go really healthy or get a big smothered burrito with cheese and sauce.
I highly recommend this place. It is one of our go to places for our family.
In town for a basketball tournament. This was close to the school so I stopped in. Glad I did. Food was delicious and the servings were big. The young lady who took my order was great. I asked about gluten free and she recommended a dish that was perfect.
Good quality food, would recommend the bacon Bloody Mary.
While they do have gluten free bread on the menu they had none during our visit and there was very little else that could be prepared gluten free.
I went to this restaurant on the 6/28, a Saturday. I was very careful to explain to the server, Mattie, that I have Celiac Disease and cannot digest rice. She wrote all these details on the order form. When my food came, the fajitas looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. I took a tortilla, filled it up and took a bite. I realized it was not a corn tortilla, which i specifically and clearly requested. Mattie checked and confirmed it was a flour tortilla. They removed the cost of the meal from my bill, so I paid for my granddaughter’s food and our drinks. The manager and Mattie apologized. So, here I am on Monday, 6/30 still in bed and very very sick. One bite of a flour tortilla gave me food poisoning. It is not worth the price of a free meal. I have not had food poisoning in 4 years, also at a restaurant, PF Changs. I request that all staff responsible for serving meals should have some kind of checking system to ensure a customer’s needs are seen to. Those customers with food issues should double and triple check with the server since nobody can be trusted.
Excellent tacos. Especially the salmon and shrimp tacos. A really clutch spot for the area. Many of the restaurants around there don’t have a lot of gluten or dairy free options so this was a relief finding this place.
Clearly marked gluten free menu (ask at the counter). Very accommodating and patient with questions.
If you’re looking for the best tacos in downtown Knoxville, you have to come here. Compared to Chivo and soccer taco, this is the best.
We really love the fish tacos, dip trio and the Cuban. Portion sizes are really good. Our vegetarian friends love the black bean burger. I even have gluten-free friends that can enjoy a meal here.
Their margaritas are the best downtown. I highly recommend the blood orange margarita. The atmosphere is quirky and fun, which matches their neon sign, paying homage to the name. It’s always lively, and there are some days you can catch live music. Prices are fair and good for what you’re getting. Portion size is filling.
Since they’ve come under new ownership a few years ago, it has greatly improved. Previously, I would not go here. But now it’s become one of my favorites. I have even brought out of town clients here for dinner who have enjoyed it. It is a laid-back atmosphere.
The service has always been excellent, and the staff has always been attentive. You can tell that people enjoy it there. I do recommend getting a reservation here if you are looking for outdoor seating or having a large party 6+, especially during their busy time at dinner. The patio feels quickly in the warmer months, so if you want that space get a reservation.
Their back door leads to Marble Alley’s upstairs bar, which is a great place to go after you’ve had your fill for games, or to enjoy the bowling alley.
Got the Kim Jong Yumm tacos with corn tortillas, and noted that I had a gluten allergy while placing my order. When my tacos arrived the server informed me that the kitchen staff had chosen to put the sauce on the side (in small cups) because some of the ingredients had the possibility of cross contamination. This attention to detail is so very much appreciated and incredibly reassuring as a GF (soon to be repeat) customer.
THIS IS THE WORST CHIPOTLE EVER!!!! Too dirty! And my son has a gluten allergy! And we were scared to eat there but we still ate there because it was late and we were hungry. And IT WAS SO GROSS. 🤢
My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and they are beyond accommodating here making sure we always get a great meal even if that means modifying a few things to make them safe. The manager here is either more knowledgeable or more caring than the other Mexican restaurants where we eat, paying attention to marinade ingredients. A meal here doesn’t ruin our night or weekend the way that many restaurants do.
