Top 50 Gluten-Free Mexican Spots to Enjoy in Phoenix

Natasha Hammond

I am SUPER impressed with the attention to detail at this restaurant! Just WOW! Having Celiac, trace amounts of gluten can wreak havoc on my system. I checked out their menu online and ordered through Uber Eats noting Celiac. The manager called and let me know some of the items were prepared with items containing gluten and suggested substitutes! I was pleasantly caught off guard by the manager’s professionalism and knowledge of Celiac procedures! I will definitely be ordering here often! Oh, and, their food is INCREDIBLE!!!

Manager knew what to do for celiac safe! Enjoyed my burger and fries! I am a sensitive celiac and I was totally great after my meal!

Sara Bishop

The gluten free options are amazing. The tuna sandwich has been fantastic each time so it’s kept me from trying other things because I enjoy it so much. Their coffee is great, both the normal espresso and decaf! The homemade syrups are wonderful

Chris M

Highly recommend! Excellent for gluten free options.

Thomas Kirby

Server seemed knowledgeable about celiac, but was slightly rude about it when I asked my questions to confirm safety. Also, the ordering process didn’t completely put my mind at ease. However, after receiving the steak fajitas (made with tamari, soy is mentioned on the menu), I enjoyed the meal and had no issues afterwards. The chips are fried in a solely gluten free fryer. But, I didn’t end up having those. Would recommend if you want some Mexican food.

Laura Manning

Highly recommend this place for their food and for all the gluten free options! 95% of the menu is gluten free, our server was really knowledgeable about Celiac, and was really accommodating. 5 star food!

Overall, fantastic!! It is a mix of a casual restaurant with a clean, casual space for eating in, as well as a small market with to-go options for foods. The staff at the front are extremely helpful and kind. I have celiac disease (strict gluten-free) and vegetarian, and I was pleasantly surprised about the gluten-free vegetarian options that were absolutely delicious, and with multiple options. Their fryer only cooks tostadas and tortilla chips, which are both gluten-free, so thus a gluten-free fryer was available! I enjoyed a doble style with a southwest veggie tamale, hatch & jack tamale, and sides of pinto beans and a bean & cheese tostada. The portions are extremely generous and also served with some chips. This was definitely the best tamales I have ever had. The tamale thickness and texture was perfect, while the hatch chile and cheese smothered in cheese suace on top was delicious and accompanied well by the savory southwest veggie tamale covered in red chile sauce. I wish tamales everywhere were served like this. The size of the sides was generous, and both the tostada and beans were an excellent complement to the tamales. I devoured them too quickly. They were so good, I decided to buy 6 frozen tamales (they have 5 veggie and 4 vegan options!) for my road trip, and my only regret is not making it in time to go again in person before leaving Phoenix. Excellent service, ambiance, and food that is both delicious and well-priced .

Really great tacos, marked gluten free!

my wife and I love this place. it was our first stop off the plane and it was so good we came back again. tons of gluten free options for my celiac wife and food was amazing.

Sarah D

Great food. Add a fride egg on top! I have to eat gluten free and there were loads of options for me here.

Dana Reid

New to Gluten free life, this was the first time coming here. They had good options, and the tomatillo chicken enchilada was amazing!!

TNT Hair

This place is awesome! The food is always on point and they have the best gluten free enchiladas I have tasted. I highly recommend it and it is definitely one of our favorite restaurants to frequent here in the valley.

Chilte is an absolute gem in the heart of Phoenix! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was electric — the music, the ambiance, the warm staff — all set the tone for what turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in the city. Let’s talk about the food: INSANE. The burger? Hands down the best my husband has ever had! The kitchen doesn’t just accommodate dietary needs — it elevates them. I’m gluten-free. Every dish was bold, intentional, and bursting with flavor. The craft cocktails were equally unforgettable — creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. Chef LT Lawrence Smith III is a culinary innovator and recent James Beard Award semifinalist. He is an emerging Chef, and you can feel his passion in every bite. Whether you’re local or visiting Phoenix, Chilte is a must. It’s not just a restaurant — it’s a whole experience. We’ll be back. Again. And again. Making a reservation NOW! – Kurt & DeAnna @CoupleyFit

Lots of gluten-free options (except dessert unfortunately)! Super fresh and clean. Patio and indoor seating. Not a fan of the nude artwork by the bathrooms, so I wouldn't bring my kids here for that reason. Otherwise it's a great experience and I would highly recommend!

Carly

Love this place! The food is delish and even as a celiac, Our waitress made me feel super safe about ordering. Menu items are marked gluten free and she ensured me she would tell the cooks to not cross contaminate. Chip’s and queso are gluten free too and are sooooo good! Margaritas are crazy good, I recommend with the mezcal!!

John Mounsey

The gluten free chicken enchilada was amazing. The white sauce is the best I have had in Arizona. It reminds me of Mexican food served in Missouri. Plus the diet pepsi was oddly fantastic.

Madison Wood

Went here on a whim our last night in Phoenix and we were very pleasantly surprised. We were seated at a cozy intimate table. Cindy was an incredible waitress who went above and beyond to ensure my meal was safe and enjoyable (I have celiac disease) and kept the delicious corn tortillas coming! The Queso Fundido, Halibut Ceviche and Chile Relleno were fresh and delicious.

Ghost Girl

Perfect with gluten allergies. They have a gluten free and vegetarian menu. Service was amazing and our waiter did everything we needed without being asked!

Astrid Scholz

🤩 Forgot to take pictures of my amazing corn tortilla pulled pork quesadilla the kitchen made to accommodate my gluten sensitivity. It was delicious, as was the traditional margarita! Loved the art work and laid back vibe. Una más!

Emily Tantuccio

Great food. They have multiple gluten free options. Love it and will be back next time!

Craig Hoots

Definitely a good place to go though it is a bit pricey. They could be better and label gluten friendly options though.

Jason Beckmann

Stopped in for lunch and already have plans to go back. Our waitress was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and happy to provide recommendations. The ultimate burrito was huge (easily enough for two people), stuffed, and delicious. They accomodated a gluten allergy by serving the fish tacos in lettuce cups. Easily my new favorite mexican restaurant in North Phoenix/Scottsdale.

Amanda Shelton Newman

Friendly atmosphere Good food Good range of items on the menu Has gluten-free options Pays attention to food allergies

Natasha Voss

The staff here is super nice and friendly! They have hand made me large corn quesadillas before because of my gluten intolerance. They also LOAD the quesadillas with cheese and their salsas are the bomb! They make all their quesadillas in house! I cam in today and they had a large corn quesadilla wrapped in saran wrap ready to go for any one with a gluten intolerance so service was friendly and fast! Cannot recommend this place enough if you're gluten intolerant and miss large quesadillas like I do! They're reasonably priced too!!

Joanie Benham

Excellent service. Great food. Gluten free rice an added plus!!

Jill D

The food is DELISH and the vibes are super chill and fun. I would definitely recommend this to any prospective Mexican-food-ie, and will also be going back soon myself. I got the carne asada burrito with a raspberry pomegranate lemonade slushie; my friend got a rice bowl (tasty gluten free option) with a guava passion fruit lemonade slushie.

Mitchell Phillips

They typically know what's up re. cross contamination

Megan Nees

Impressed with the amount of gluten free options and happy they had a small bar.

I do takeout but have certainly eaten in many times. I happily drive a 42 mile round trip for the Jade Red Chicken which happens to be gluten free. They make it so fresh and it’s still hot when I get it home. The black refried beans with the sweet, lightly crunchy and saucy chicken were destined to be together. Add some white rice and the meal is complete. I’ve tried most of their menu and you really can’t go wrong. It truly has a flavor combination for just about anyone. The volcano cookies on the weekends are amazing but they sell out like Chappell Roan tickets so get there early!

Jean Laninga

We have our favorite super fresh bowls that we get here and they’re a great gluten free option. Prices have gone way up though. Seems no matter which one we go to there’s always consistency in food prep. Love it here as a monthly treat.

Melanie Kinnamon

So it was hard for me not to give this Chipotle 5 stars. But it's all based on my last trip in. I have never seen such a messy food station. All the foods were all over counter and the glass and food was cross contaminated. The person serving rice was touching the spoon to the tortilla (rice is no longer gluten free and I have Celiac disease which is why I like chipotle. I wish corporate would cover food allergies, just don't touch the spoon to the tortilla). They manager was snapping at what looked to be an entire new team. Super embassing for associate and customers. This used to be the BEST chipotle and I'd make special trips. What happened? Never been so grossed out. WHERE IS THE OLD MANAGER? I wanna go to wherever they went!

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with enchiladas and chile relleno. Stacia was our server and she was the hostest with the mostest. I have a gluten allergy and she went above and beyond to make sure I had a delicious dinner that wouldn’t make me sick. As someone with an allergy it just means the world to have someone so considerate as your server. Thank you to the kitchen for a wonderful meal and thank you Stacia!

Tru tacos is amazing. everything is gluten free. everyone is friendly. I ordered the chimi and it was sooooooo good I haven't had a chimi in years. my husband ordered the papusas and loved them! we will definitely be back.

Gabriel McIver

This place was really good. I asked if the meat seasoning etc was gluten free and told it was (will update if I have a reaction). Fingers crossed its gluten free, but either way these tacos are amazing. Tried the chicken, pastor, and asada. Chicken is my favorite by far, the toasted taco with the crusted cheese on the outside is amazing and gives this place a unique option other taco shops do not have. Give them a shot if your in the area, friendly staff and great food. Can't beat that! Update: I have gone twice now with no reaction, confirmed gluten free.

Anissa Scott

This place is my fave!! Having to eat gluten free is tough and the corn crisp here makes it easier! Love their tacos and hot sauce. Always get jalapeño cream cheese with anything! Whenever our family can't figure out what to have for dinner, this is our old standby. Great service too! Don't change a thing!

Samantha Becker

I was so blown away by how good the food was from here! I got a pastor, carne asada, and barbacoa taco. There are 5 salsas to choose from, lines, cilantro&onion, pico de gallo, radishes, and more. They offer flour and corn tortillas! The sodas are from Mexico and they have a lot of Sunset Freez’s that the vegan, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly. They also have fountains of drinks and beer of course on tap and from the bottle. The meat is made on the grill behind and there are so many options! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I will be back to have such great food again! The facility was cheerful and the staff were quick and kind!

Do not eat here if you have food allergies. They will do absolutely nothing to accommodate them while your party gets to eat. Won’t even offer to wash a cutting board in between. Shouldn’t even bother offing “gluten friendly options” if the server says there’s extremely high chance of cross contamination. Very sad and disappointing experience.

Patrick Fleming

Relaxed meal on a Sunday morning. We were looking for a place to have breakfast within walking distance of downtown that was open and likely to have gluten free options. There is so much Mexican cuisine that is naturally gluten free so was the pick of the day. The food was great and there was plenty of it. The potatoes on the breakfast seemed to be boiled instead of fried, salted and peppered to excellence.

Nellie Nel

I love, love, love the Pollo locos enchiladas here! They are Gluten Free! And probably is the best recipe ever! This place has great customer service and I love coming here.

Caleb Van Liew

This place is fantastic! We will most definitely be eating here a lot. I have a allergy to gluten and was still able to choose from almost everything on the menu which is amazing! Just like the food and the people working there.

Brian

This place is great. Great atmosphere, great food, good drinks and they even list allergen info for Gluten Free and provide Vegan options in the menu. They were very accommodating to my gluten intolerance and it was much appreciated. I will be back.

This place is amazing. Taco Boys is one of my favorite taco spots in downtown PHX, but extremely difficult to find parking. When a new location opened we had to try it. Still gluten free(will report back if not) , still amazing you must try this place. I prefer the chicken but please try them all you will not regret it. Also the Verde salsa at the bar is hands down the best in AZ!!!

Grace O

Our favorite taco place, hands down! Delicious, fresh street tacos, burritos, nachos, quesadillas (and even steaks on Wednesdays)! There are vegetarian and gluten free options, too. Fonzy's also caters, too! We've had them cater events for us and all of our guests/friends have come to love them, too. I love that now they are next to the 1227 Taproom and we can sit down to eat Fonzy's while enjoying a delicious craft beer. I cannot begin to say how much I am grateful that Fonzy's is in our neighborhood. The owners, Fonzy and Selena are such amazing, big hearted people who really care about their craft and building community. Come for the food (and beer), stay for the people!

Hannah Fishman

While I wish they offered more gluten-free bowl options, this is a great spot for a quick and delicious burrito. And they have really good drinks too!

Rochelle Sauer

I am gluten free and had been to another restaurant that could not accommodate even though their website said they could. The staff here was amazing and the food delicious!! Thank you to Micah, Yocsimi and Nautica!!
