Top 13 Gluten-Free Mexican Spots to Enjoy in Lakewood

Our go to Mexican restaurant! They do great with gluten free. Great food and service! The owner and staff are amazing. Get the carne asada plate or the pork enchilada plate with green chile strips on top!

I dont care for Cilantro but can eat it if it's not to powerful. It's clearly the main ingredient in everything. I wanted to order tacos but when I asked if there is cilantro on them I was told it's cooked into the meat and if it wasn't the chefs don't like modifications. At $40 (including kids meals)a plate I don't give a rip. As I'm gluten free I was pretty happy they had gluten free chicken fingers so I ordered that. I tried my wife's beef tacos and cilantro was the prevailing flavor. Same with the salsa. I will say the menu is clearly labeled there are a lot of gluten free options. I had to surrender my pocket knife upon entry though. Wish I had known the security was tighter than Mile High 🙄. Also don't add a 15% charge so your staff cab nake a living wage. Pay them that and if you have to raise prices fine. But don't force me to tip. Over all it wasn't worth it. U can pay $500 to feed nine people and have a way better experience and meal at almost any place.

Honest Reviews

Probably the most bland Mexican food I've ever had! Not sure how this place is still in business other than people not wanting to travel to better places to eat. They have gluten free options, the food wasn't overcooked but the chicken enchiladas, beans, green chili queso had no flavor at all. And the rice tasted like a failed attempt at rice and gondolas. The chips were pretty good but the salsa was watery and took away from the bit of flavor it did have. What's sad is there's not even salt/pepper on the table to try to add something to it. The service was quick but disappointing as I wanted to try a sample of their tomatillo sauce but they wanted to charge me extra so didn't even try it as my friends sauce on her plate was bland as well. The atmosphere is outdated, the bathrooms were filthy with some annoying language translation playing in background. I gave it 3 stars because they have gluten free options, the food wasn't overcooked and the service was quick. Unfortunately I doubt I'll return and can only recommend if you need something quick. Just be prepared to season your own food!

GET YOUR HEALTHY TACOS AT CHIPOTLE! I've been going there for 20 years! These tacos can be dairy and gluten free. I chose crispy corn tortillas, brown rice, lots of pinto and black beans, chopped tomatoes, pico de gallo, yellow pepper fajitas with red onions, marinated chicken, and a side of plenty of cilantro. Very tasty as always . . . And all for just $7.75. Thanks Judah for the delicious healthy tacos! These guys started with one restaurant in Denver, and now they have 400 in 20 States Coast to Coast. From Seattle, Washington to Chattanooga, Tennessee to Charleston, South Carolina! I like it because they have lots more whole food veggie choices than a traditional Mexican taqueria. I've been going to Chipotle for 20 years! My roommate manages one of their restaurants here in Denver. Try out their tacos and stay away from The white flour and cheese . . . Who says you can't eat out and eat healthy? This is one of your best options . . . You'll love it! 😊😊😊

Favorite authentic Mexican restaurant in area! We love the welcoming and accommodating staff. Lots of options, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free, which is unusual at many similar restaurants. Happy hour is great and the house margaritas are THE BEST (actually, all the margs we’ve tried there are great, I recommend the tamarindo). You can also get marg to-go which is convenient. Authentic street tacos, including lengua & tripas. Classic hearty soups to go if you feel under the weather. Portions are big and prices are fair.

First time I’ve had a corn quesadilla option which I’m so happy about being gluten sensitive!

Incredible service tonight! I have a gluten allergy & they were very accommodating in changing gloves & getting ingredients from the back. I’m very grateful!

Never miss a stop at 3 margaritas whenever I'm in town! Food is consistently delicious, staff are friendly and fast. Price is reasonable and menu items are varied with quite a few naturally gluten free items.
