Love Wasabi Juans! My husband loves Mexican and I love sushi, so it's a perfect combination. The staff here are great. I have celiac disease and they are very accommodating with the gluten free options and very mindful. Definitely a must to visit Wasabi Juans!

El barrio is one of Birminghams restaurants. You can expect to wait on friday and saturday evenings due to the high demand for delicious food at a reasonable price. The servers work harmoniously during busy times and have a streamlined process so that you have the best dining experience. They are gracious about accommodating dietary needs and restrictions which is so welcome due to the Birmingham food scene largely lacking that. The only things that could make them better is gluten free churros on the menu.

Rojo is a staple in the area and I can’t imagine Birmingham without it! Tucked in beautiful Highland Park this gem is a must stop for the local atmosphere and diverse eats. Many gluten free/vegan options, dine in or to go… stuck at home? DoorDash it!!! You have to try the David’s Quesadilla, it’s a personal favorite. Stop in for open mic night for a good time or visit during any other special nights/events. Thank you for everything Rojo!❤️

Gluten friendly it is not. If you have celiac you won’t be able to eat here, period.
My family decided to eat here because usually Mexican restaurants are easy to navigate with a gluten intolerance. This was probably the most difficult restaurant I’ve ever visited, aside from maybe a bakery. The manager said they recently changed their roasted chicken and it now contains gluten, so there was not a single protein I could eat. That was a challenge I’ve never encountered. The queso had it. Even the ranch dip on the table contained gluten—which I ate prior to the manager letting me know— it never occurred to me ranch might have it. Again, something I’ve never seen before.
I will say the staff was extremely nice about it, which is why I didn’t take the review under 3 stars. They even comped my meal for the issues (the first dish they brought out clearly had ingredients the manager mentioned had gluten) and never charged me for the guacamole taco they had to replace it with, which was completely unnecessary but appreciated.
If they had just one protein option it would’ve been an completely different experience. I’ve never been to a sit down restaurant where I couldn’t even order a protein—-usually it’s the go to fallback. With it being such a common issue, I hope one day they can try to be just a little accommodating, especially given that it’s widely assumed a Mexican restaurant will have plenty of options.
This spot offers a super family-friendly vibe with a vibrant atmosphere that energizes the space. Guests enjoy a relaxed, welcoming feel on the patio shaded by umbrellas. The staff is exceptionally friendly, ensuring a comfortable gluten-free dining experience.

We eat here weekly. Best location in Alabama. Best staff, super friendly. And they take gluten free and special orders serious. 5-star service and food.
This place maintains a clean environment and offers fast service, with efforts to accommodate gluten-sensitive guests. While some cross-contamination risks exist, they take steps like opening new containers to reduce gluten exposure, making it a cautiously suitable option for gluten-free diners.

The food was very good, and fit well into a keto diet. Service was fast and the place was clean.
They take steps to avoid gluten for those sensitive, but there are some holes in their process. Replacing a spoon in a dish that has touched glutenous food then was placed back in the dish does not remove the gluten that has already been introduced. Using a new spoon is a start, but the contaminated food in the dish must also be replaced. (They did open a new container of cheese and lettuce.)

Repeated my order 3x as he nodded continuously like he heard me the first time but kept getting it wrong. I still got the wrong thing. Asked for crunchy tacos,pork and queso cheese with side of rice. The only thing I got right was the rice and pork. No cheese and had to take meat off the soft shells after I went up and got my cheese. I wouldn't have cared but I can't eat wheat flour. Have to try to eat gluten free due to celiac. It also wasn't good. I could have went to taco Bell and it would have been better. My granddaughters order was all messed up too. We're sweet girls and I don't like leaving a bad review but it is what it is...he also rolled his eyes as I was trying to make sure he'd gotten it right. We spent 30 bucks and left hungry.
