Top 17 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Southeastern Sacramento

Shikha Patel

Food is incredible. Will definitely visit again. Definitely a great spot with multiple vegetarian vegan, and gluten free options. Limited seating so accommodating big groups would be difficult. Parking was easily available. Really homey vibe and the employees made us feel welcomed as well.

It is super challenging to find vegan, gluten free, organic options in Sacramento - especially on a Sunday night - but this place wowed me. Almost every item can be made gluten free, and everything either is vegan or can be made vegan. The spring rolls are the best I’ve ever had, and I eat a lot of spring rolls - highly recommend the Buddha Roll as well as the Karma roll, both were 10/10. I’ll also be craving the Lemon Grass Garlic Tofu Squares and the Sea Salt Smoked Oyster Mushrooms until we can get back, those were both insanely delicious. The Eight Fold Path salad is organic perfection, as well. This place is an absolute must for anyone conscious about organic ingredients, or looking for Vegan + GF options. I’ll be relying on it whenever I’m in town, now!

I have been wanting to come here for years and finally did today. I regret not coming here sooner and we will be back! My bf has celiac disease so we ordered the bacon and egg (gluten free), Hawaiian cowboy, whole herd, and home on the range (gluten free), and garlic bread. The garlic bread has whole cloves on it and was insanely good, and so was everything else. The pizza place down the street that we used to go to religiously every week for their Tuesday deal left us hanging after we tried ordering several times over like 30 minutes, so we gave up on them. We had group plans and needed pizza fast. This place knocked it out of the park with the entire group. Thanks for turning our night around!

First time visiting this weekend and was happy they were able to make some gluten free soup for my kiddo. Pretty nice and friendly people working. Hours were too short for customers wanting to get in a late lunch.

Great restaurant. Had the burger with bacon and brie. Brought half of it home for lunch! Fries were crispy! Atmosphere is friendly and staff was great and suggested gluten free items.

I love this place. Their pho is so delicious and so are their spring rolls! I'm a gluten free eater due to a non-celiac medical condition and I've been fine eating their chicken pho and beef pho as well as the shrimp spring rolls. Their broth as-is has been a safe food for me and i don't add hoisin or soy sauce, just the toppings and sriracha. I'm so thankful to have found a place with excellent, fast service, delicious Vietnamese food, and a lovely owner that answers all your questions. Grab a boba while you're here!

I am usually disappointed with gluten free pizza, but not here! The pizza is amazing and I love the patio.

Great gluten free pizza. Takes some time to prepare

The gluten free crust was good, which is rare for me to say. I got the small chicken, artichoke and garlic. It had good flavor and was the perfect stay-in meal for this hot day.

Every time I have ordered from here on DoorDash I have asked them to exclude the bread products and either replace them with something gluten free or just leave it out and not worry about it and they have given something as a replacement each time. Not many places allow custom orders at all but Pancake Circus still does and because of this they have my gratitude. 5/5 stars for a great restaurant that respects its guests needs.

Staff is super friendly. My friend has a Gluten sensitivity and they had run out of gluten free soy sauce. The server actually left the restaurant and bought a bottle for us to use. Food is delicious and portions are generous. I've only been in the area for 3 weeks and I've already been there three times.

Honestly for the hype the food was not anything exciting. We got the chicken and waffles and autumn omelet. The maple syrup was not real maple syrup, just some kind sugar syrup. The omeletts veggies were soaked in oil. Eggs were fluffy and fine though. Unfortunately for diet restrictions they have limited to work with. No gluten free bread or pastry options, and they use soybean oil, bacon fat or butter. So it will be either seed oils or dairy. You can find vegetarian and vegan options (like chia seed pudding) but I’m not sure how good or different it would be from something you’d make at home. Essentially it was nothing special and we have no desire to go back. I would explore somewhere else if you’re going to choose to go out to brunch.

I have gluten/soy/milk allergies and El Pollo Loco makes tasty food I can safely eat. Professional food/customer service team as well.

Overall pretty good in terms of pasta. The pan-fried buns feel like they are made in a mold, probably to save production time. The taste is okay and the filling is juicy. It’s just that the skin lacks the handmade texture. The cold noodles and fried wide noodles were disappointing, the side dishes and taste were very monotonous. There is only cucumber in the cold skin, and there is no gluten at all. The xiaolongbao is not bad, very standard. The most surprising thing is the pork and shrimp steamed dumplings. The meat filling is fresh and the shrimp is very big, which is delicious. The beef noodles taste good and are quite large, but the noodles have an average texture. Overall recommended.

I eat here once a month, minimum. I'm on a budget and Agave is reasonably priced. I am celiac with multiple food allergies and I've never gotten sick here (I stick with the carnita street tacos). The owners go above and beyond with their service... and the food is AMAZING!!!

Isa Jaymes

The place is nice, the service is excellent. The fish tacos were great but the chips and salsa and a few other items left a little to be desired. Overall though I would eat there again. And I’m always happy to find gluten free options. Definitely a solid spot if you’re looking for food in the area!

LOVE this place! Dined in for pork noodle bowl. It was incredible! Food: Noodles had perfect consistency, veggies were super fresh, pork portions were huge, perfectly cooked, and seasoned! Box was filling and refreshing. Portions were so big I had half a bowl to take home. Service: order meal up front. Staff are so engaging, welcoming, and helpful with answering questions. Very helpful if you have diet restrictions. They really helped me fine something that worked for me. You can mix and match your meals with different rice/noodles/salad, proteins, veggies, such great options. Atmosphere: fun energetic space. Small but fun. All types of great drinks available in the beverage fridge. I’m so happy this place exists. Their meals are so fresh and the portions are so generous. I love this place for the gluten intolerant folks too. I honestly think their prices could be a little higher for the quality of everything. I can’t wait to go back! Wish I could give more stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
