Top 6 Gluten-Free Mexican Spots to Enjoy in Temecula

I was here with a big networking group. Everyone received their chicken tostada salad. Unfortunately, due to being gluten-free and highly allergic to the avocado on the salad, I spoke with the waiter who went above and beyond and spoke with the mgr and the chef in the back and they were able to accommodate me with all my dietary restrictions. When my chicken salad came out, it looked similar to everyone else aside from the big shell. It was delicious and filling. The chips and salsa were also a nice touch.

We absolutely love Margarita’s Cocina y Cantina—it’s one of our favorite spots, and after dining there several times, we knew it was the perfect place to host our rehearsal dinner and welcome party on April 11, 2025. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Yesenia and her entire team are incredible—so warm, attentive, and accommodating. We had about 50 guests for the rehearsal dinner and around 80 total for the welcome party, and every single person raved about how lovely the staff was. The service was both expedient and attentive—even with a large group, orders were never missed, and everything flowed smoothly. The buffet was exceptional, and everyone had a fabulous time. One of the most important factors for us was that my wife has celiac disease, and the team has always taken her gluten-free needs seriously with care and confidence. Their ability to safely accommodate her dietary restrictions, as well as others in our group, gave us so much peace of mind and was one of the key reasons we chose them as our venue. The food was fantastic (as always!), the planning process was seamless and stress-free, and the service was absolutely impeccable. We’re so happy we went with Margarita’s for such a special occasion and can’t recommend them highly enough.

Amazing! The best Mexican food I've had in a long long time... And also they have gluten-free options which is so hard to find. Nick our server was awesome!

I didn’t know that this restaurant offered some great vegan options as well as gluten free. The restaurant is located in what seems to be someone ‘s nice backyard. They have a fire & water feature at the front and also in the middle of the seating area. The place has a pub feel and the service is excellent. Our server remembered our names throughout our dinner. I like that they ask you about your food preferences as well as allergies. I tried the fried green tomatoes appetizer which was vegan. I strongly recommend their aioli sauce which includes a touch of habanero. I also tried their Bella! Lettuce! Tomato dish which is a vegan take on the BLT except it’s packed with portobello mushrooms. It was delicious! Make sure you try their fries and get extra aioli sauce on the side. You can also get the mango kamboucha drink without the alcohol if you’re craving a non-alcoholic beverage that’s not a soda or tea. Enjoy mostly plants.
