Top 44 Gluten-Free Mexican Spots to Explore in Ottawa

Dan Macdonald

Chose 4 tacos (pastor, gringa, camaron, tinga) and they were all excellent. The mariachi band was fun. Absolutely worth a visit. And it’s gluten free approved!

Shawn Henderson

Super fun place, great food, great service. Had a blast. 100% Gluten Free. Huge, varied menu. Great cocktails, lots of flavours of margaritas. All serviced super fast, super friendly. Cannot wait for patio season to enjoy the food and drinks in the sun... but the interior is decorated very festively. I'll be back!

Addy Rogers

Huge portions! The food is great. They have a nice all you can eat salsa. Good place for gluten allergies.

Andrew Winters

I'm Celiac and they have true Mexican food I came out fuller then my tacos lol

Carole Evans

Had great soft shell tacos! Chicken. And 2 types of pork that were all excellent. Rice and beans were pretty good. The room a bit too dark. Got brighter when the large screen TV flashed bright. Would definitely go back . Wonderful options for my celiac friend.

they did not accommodate to my celiac and wheat allergy. every time i have come before they take ingredients from the back for me because i can’t have my food be contaminated. the guy said “there was nothing in the back”and that “since there is a rush he won’t do it”. it would have taken him 4. seconds extra to take it from the back like every other employee has done for me before so rude and did not consider allergies and for that 1/5.

Delicious! Tried gluten-free tacos set, enchilada and burritos, everything very tasty and fresh! Amazing atmosphere and service!

Rod Gauthier

Our server, Big Dog, was excellent as was the food! They have lots of gluten free options as well.

Mohamad Bustami

Wow wow wow!! What an amazing spot in the heart of byward market. Delicious authentic Mexican food. Some of the best tacos and quesadillas. Their different sauces are to die for. And then to top it off they have amazing delicious freshly made hibiscus tea. The staff and service are second to none as well. Oh and of course lots of gluten-free options since they have corn tortillas for both the tacos and quesadillas. Highly recommended and will be coming again for sure.

Came in on a rainy Friday afternoon to try a few tacos. The table service was slow but the food came out quickly. We got the shrimp taco, chorizo, vegetable and birria. We really liked the Chorizo and Birria, and would pass on the other two. They were able to accommodate my gluten and dairy free allergies :)

This place is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G We were heading to another restaurant a few doors down, but it was closed, we walked in front of the Bonita, and we were completely drawn inside. Everything was perfect, I'm celiac, I they are super knowledgeable, aware and want for every customer to have the best experience. Oh, don't miss going through the mocktails menus, telling you, they don't miss a thing. The first time I went out of my comfort zone, and ordered something I've never tried before, that's how confident I was that this restaurant was perfect. Oh, btw, did the same second time around, and it was as good as the first time. If you are asking yourself if you should go, stop and go, you'll thank me late.

My friends and I went here because it’s always been just around the corner but never tried it. Today we did and it was so good. Extremely friendly lady greeted us with a really warm welcome and helped us with the menu and even thoughtfully catered to my gluten free needs. The food was amazing (and even the tortilla soup was crazy good) and we will definitely be making more stops here! I only wish we came sooner.

Stacey McKenzie

Best tacos that we have had in Stittsville! Fresh ingredients with authentic flavours. Gluten-free is an added bonus. We tried fish, chicken and beef tacos and were so impressed with the flavours! We will be back for more. Our only disappointment is that they will be closing soon for the winter.

Cory Warmington

I have celiac disease. The awesome server assured me that the tacos (excluding fish taco) are gluten free. I shared the chicken, pork belly, pork shoulder and brisket tacos with my wife. While the chicken was very good, the other three were all incredible. Best tacos I have ever had. I'm very happy to report that the tacos I had that day were gluten free and I can't wait to go back and enjoy them again. Thanks Torta Boyz!

Gabriela Menocal

I like the food here plus is gluten free options

Jordan Pumphrey

We were *that table* with a last minute reservation for 7, asking to move to the patio halfway through, and having a bunch of allergies, but everyone was so great. Our server, Todd, went above and beyond helping us move to the patio halfway through. Half of us have gluten and dairy allergies and he was knowledgeable about how everything was cooked and didn’t make us feel like a burden for the adjustments we needed. He was so kind and attentive, really great server. Go Todd Go!

I recently visited Bar Burrito and was blown away by the flavorful food and vibrant atmosphere! The burritos were generous in size, packed with fresh ingredients, and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring our glasses were always full. The real standout, however, was the variety of options available - from classic vegan and gluten-free choices, there's something for everyone. Whether you're a burrito connoisseur or just looking for a quick, delicious meal, Bar Burrito is a must-visit!

Sandra Stephens

The service rep could tell it was my first time in one of these restaurants and took the time to explain the gluten free options for me. I appreciated the time they spent with me, as well as the delish tacos

Shaddy Saneie

My friends & I went on a taco tour recently and made sure to stop at Mona’s. We got lucky and they were able to accommodate six of us with no reservation. They were very busy with only two staff working the front of house, so the service to receive our drinks was slow (which was expected) but the kitchen was very quick. I have a gluten + dairy allergy, the staff were very accommodating. We got the pastor and the mushroom, I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the mushroom taco was. Margarita was tasty and strong. Would definitely go back and try their other flavours & guac.

Robyn Crawford

Favorites: vegetales al pastor (veggie) quesadilla, tortilla soup, potato and bean chipotle taco, and horchata to drink. Only a few tables, but a cute casual spot. Good portion sizes, goid vegetarian options, and most things are gluten free.

Stephanie Bates

Gluten free burrito bowl for the win!😃

Emelina Montoya

Great, hearty burritos full of flavor and juice. I only order takeout so I can't say much about the service or atmosphere but the food is excellent. I have not tried their other dishes but if I go based off of the burritos I am sure they are just as good. Check the app or online ordering for deals and promotions. They do offer gluten free wraps/tortillas.

Gluten Friendly!

Keith Burnage

Great place for delicious Mexican food and they have so many gluten fee options definitely coming back

Jeff Clark

Had a dinner for a group last night. Two of them ordered sandwich/burgers. When they arrived they came on gluten free buns. If you are GF they are great but if not, they are way different. These were pretty stale GF buns to boot. To his credit the manager came out to apologize to us and said they should have communicated that they ran out of buns. But to offer us a 1/4 off the cost of the two meals was underwhelming. If we had sent them back, would the cook send out a quarter of a replacement meal? Not a fan of this Lone Star.

Simon Smith

Ordered take-out from here and was not impressed. There weren't enough fixings for the fajitas and we asked for corn tortillas since they were gluten free but got some bad tasting GF tortillas instead. Worst part was we waited a few minutes for the food and it still wound up being cold when we got it home. For an order we had to wait for, seems like it was sitting around for a while. Definitely not worth the $20 per plate.

Guns N' Hoses Staff

I love that Lone Star has gluten free options! Professional, friendly and funny staff, large menu to select from and the marga palooza is worth trying a few! Great for staff events, family dinners or a night out with friends.

Sarah Toner-Morrison

Deliciously gluten-free

Adam From Canada

I've been here several times and it's always been excellent. The food is very flavorful and the staff is very friendly. I didn't care for the watermelon drink, though. The portions look small but it's quite filling. Also, they're real corn tortillas so they're gluten free. I would recommend this place to everyone. There can be a bit of a wait to get your food, but they also offer up freshly made chips and homemade salsa which is yummy.

Blake Edwards

Fresh, healthy food with great proteins and vegetables. They really accommodate my allergy and my friends gluten free, dairy free requirements. New gloves and great menu knowledge help is navigate all the toppings and selection throughout the menu.

Chris Merpaw-Erickson

Burritos that don't fall apart as soon as you unwrap them! You can actually eat them in the car without making a mess, which I've found is the case for several other brands. Allergy-friendly, they have gluten-free tortillas available (make sure to mention at the cash if you have any dietary restrictions like celiac).

Shaddy Saneie

The only place burrito place around town that offers tofu & actually marinated it properly. The sautéed veggies are seasoned well. Huge portions for the cost. Definitely will come back for an easy gluten free & vegan meal. One thing to note is the website specifies they have corn shells & you can get them as your salad base. But in store they only have flour tortilla

Jem Harrison

TLDR: Very disappointed. Total waste of $25. Decided to try Mexi Guac for dinner. They boast and almost entirely gluten free menu and Celiac procedures. The food was awful. I got a barbacoa burrito bowl with Chips and queso. The queso is a strange Grey paste with flecks of black "seasoning". The bowl has no discernable flavour besides black pepper corns, which is very concerning considering the amount of mild salsa and lime crema that was put on the bowl. I don't know if it was the rice that is so over powerfully seasoned, or if it was the meat, but either way I got 2 bites out of it and I can't stomach it at all. I'll stick to other options.

Neil T

The service was very friendly and food tasted great. Their variety of component options is impressive and probably “best in class” but it might a bit off target. I didn’t expect to see Jerk Chicken and Indian/Asian drinks in a Tex-Mex place but it was all yummy so we were pleasantly surprised. Only issue was we ordered a gluten-free wrap and it didn’t hold the massive amount of food they tried to put in it so we got them to put it in a bowl for us. Overall, definitely willing to go back. Is it a “must try”, not in our opinion but if/when we want this type of food and there is a location nearby, it will be our first choice.

Pradyumna Gujjar

Of the burritos I have had, this restaurant’s are certainly one of my favorite! The quantity is just right, the spice levels are great and having gluten free and whole wheat Tortilla as an option makes it quite unique. I tried the buffalo burrito and the Baja chicken and I loved it!

Anika Matte

I had a super yummy burrito bowl here, I am gluten free and looked on the website before and and it worked perfectly, didn’t get sick:)’

jordan Morneau

DiL provided very helpful and friendly service. She was knowledgeable in what I could eat with my gluten allergy. Thank you!

Brian S

Filling and yummy, gluten free options available

Gordon Emery

THE BEST Mucho Burrito in ALL of Ottawa! The food is always hot and fresh. The staff are extreamly patient, kind, knowledgible and proffessional. I have a bad Gluten allergy and the staff walked me through the whole process and made sure that nothing went on my burrito bowl that could make me sick. They went above and beyond and the person whom served me even changed his gloves and handeled me personally so that **NO gluten** would go into my bowl. I strongly recomend that everyone go here. I come frequently and always recomend friends and family to go here; they always havea good time. Whatever Mucho Burrito on Baseline is doing, they are doing it right and I hope they keep it up.

Jaclyn Smith

It's nice enough place. We had a great server, he was helpful and funny! The food was ok, the rice was a bit over cooked and the bowl was ok. It was difficult to know what had gluten in it so I played it safe and avoided some items that I might have liked more. Other people with fewer dietary concerns in our party really enjoyed it.

Kat Walraven

The food was good and the service was okay. But I won't be back. When we left we overheard the owner telling someone that people with food restrictions (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, etc.) weren't their kind of customers. I guess Feleena's is not my kind of restaurant. Hasta la vista.

K D

Wow! Had the vegan birria tacos and they were amazing. And gluten free!

Scott Mullenix

Place was clean and the food was good. Good gluten free menu and protocols. I have coeliac family members and would bring them here for the burrito bowl. Fresh tortilla chips were amazing!

Kat Sloan

This place is SO good. They had items containing gluten marked on the menu. The waitress was super knowledgeable and knew exactly what celiac was/what was gluten free and safe for me to eat. I had the brisket (without crispy onions) and the pork taco.. both delicious! Great service & atmosphere. Chips are shared fryer with breaded items so I didn’t risk it. My friends really enjoyed their tacos too (fish and cauliflower). Will be back soon!
