Top 50 Gluten-Free Mexican Spots to Enjoy in Connecticut

Stephanie Amoroso

Rio Salado has great food and much of it is gluten free. The chips are made in a dedicated fryer. My daughter has celiac and traveling is always stressful but not this time!

Minakshi Stalhamer

Amazingly flavorful, all gluten free food, wonderful options, absolutely lovely experience (btw the burritos are hugeeee and the taco orders are 1 per and pricey but nice to try a few)

I went with my office today and the food was amazing. I wish I got more pictures. My daughter is Gluten Free and being able to choose anything is amazing!! Very excited to go back with my family.

So good! So many choices! My friend and I came here on a Wednesday evening and it was packed. We were seated at the bar quickly. Lucas was our server and he was awesome! I have to be careful about what I eat, since I’m gluten free. Lucas was knowledgeable and assured me that what I was ordering wouldn’t make me sick. As he put it “welcome home” 😂 The drinks were amazing and the tacos were fantastic. Charles came over at some point to help other customers and he was super attentive to them as well. We’ll definitely be back!

Visit this place a few times a month, as it’s our favorite restaurant for date night. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and I can eat pretty much anything, and we both have plenty of options. My absolute favorite is the mushroom taco as well as the glazed pork belly and Baja fish taco! Don’t sleep on the street corn either. Tastes just as good as getting them from a guy making them out of his cooler on the streets of El Paso (I passed through El Paso on our way to Disneyland and this guy had a crowd surrounding him). Plantains are a nice sweet treat. Definitely check out their secret tacos!

Andrea Stone

What a little gem! The vibe was good. The food was tasty. There are lots of gluten free options. The customer service was friendly. I'll be back!

I have a severe gluten allergy. Two separate servers went through the menu and told me what I could eat, how things were prepped in the back and what I could substitute. They were very knowledgeable. I enjoyed foods I rarely eat as someone with a severe gluten allergy - they subbed baked corn chips on the nachos, corn tortillas for the enchiladas and gave me baked chips with my salsa. They told me everything for an allergy and celiac gets given a big card so everyone is very careful in the back. I felt comfortable ordering and eating here. Great job Sol Toro!

Jenn Pindell

Food was fresh and flavorful as always! Love this place and will be back again. We travel from south windsor for their great food. I have a gluten allergy and they offer a large variety of options for me. See ya soon and keep up the great work!

Doug Eberle

Inventful menu, EXCELLENT staff, and an overall comfortable atmosphere. Attentive to celiac needs.

William Parker

Good food, great atmosphere, and gluten free friendly!

The prices in the menu are NOT what they charge on the final bill. Confirm before you sign your check! We came because safe place for Celiacs to eat, food and margaritas are decent. However, the prices in the menu DO NOT reflect what was on our bill. We caught the $8 overage on the pitcher of margaritas (because we discussed the cost to split it prior). Our server fixed that when we pointed it out. Afterwards, discovered two of our three entrees were also over charged by $2 & $5, which was not fixed by our server when we asked her to adjust the margaritas. As a former server, this seems like a scam by the restaurant and not intentional from our server. If you do eat here, keep a menu on the table and check your bill against it for EVERY ITEM! We would have paid an additional $15, had we not done this!

The food was lovely! I will definitely go again as I even prefer their burrito to Chipolte which happens to be right across the street. Although it seemed like one of those places where the staff are always scowling or in a bad mood. I understand that they are doing a lot of work and perhaps for minimum wage, but when the staff of a restaurant act like they don't want to be there it simply makes visitors feel unwelcome and nervous. The restaurant was clean and food was made properly as ordered even when someone in my party had to ask for an accommodation to a gluten allergy.

We stopped in during a weekend trip to Mystic, it was the best food and drinks we had while in town, as well as fantastic service. Cienna, our server was so awesome, hospitable, knowledgeable of nearby fun and of her menu, and skilled in her craft. The margaritas were the best in Mystic (and trust me, I tried most of them!) and the food was delicious. I am gluten free and they made sure to be careful with my food and I left without even a stomachache.

Sarah Bodie

We love Sayulia so much! Delicious food, service, and atmosphere! The workers are so nice and attentive. We've waited for an hour to be seated on a Tuesday, and 2.5 hours on a Friday, and it was worth it!!! We will always be prepared to wait! My boyfriend has Celiac and they have good gluten free options, and we've never had an issue where he had symptoms and we thought there was any cross contamination.

Kyle Evans

The blackened chicken fajitas are so good. Everything amazing. Corn tortillas for those who are gluten free.

Ray Turchuk

Very accommodating for my fiancé with a gluten allergy

Tori Pisco

Margarita pitchers (GOOD margaritas) and table side guac, never fails! The shrimp tacos are phenomenal. All chips and tacos are corn tortillas / gluten free!

Carly Nixon

Their gluten free pizza is the best I’ve had - and I’ve tried a lot! They have soo many options for GF pizza which is hard to find too. I do agree with one of the other reviews that the GF crust was a bit burnt/overcooked; I didn’t necessarily mind but you might want to request they don’t crisp the crust as long.

Stacey Munro, N. D.

We love the food and environment. Unusually charming for a restaurant in a strip mall. Can get really busy and can be a wait. The trio appetizer is great and gluten friendly.

Kat Leidy

Awesome food, friendly staff, clean facility. They're also really good about being careful for folks who CAN'T eat gluten (like me, with celiac disease :-) )

scott carter

100% recommend this spot. We were fans of Joey Cs in Milford before it closed. Go on Wednesday for $20 lobster roll! Great location hidden behind a warehouse club, but all you see once you enter is he great river and marina views. One of our favorite spots. Great gluten free options as well.

Tim Moore

Not average new England Mexican food. Gluten free options were great to

David Garcia

TJ Burrito is a fantastic spot with tons of gluten-free options, making it a great choice for everyone. The happy hour deals on drinks are amazing, and the margarita flights are a must-try. The service is always friendly and attentive, creating a feel-good atmosphere that keeps you coming back. On top of that, the food is fresh and delicious. Highly recommend

Jordana Costa

Gluten free options are great

Karen Power

Diane Domin

Another awesome gluten free meal. Never have to worry about cross contamination and the owner is more than willing to assist. Another delicious birthday dinner... thank you so much!

Jesse Muller

Enjoyed the gluten free options alongside the friendly service

Rufino Acevedo

Amazing tacos and tortilla soup with a decent gluten free menu.

Jenna La Fontaine

Gluten free options - as safe as you can be for a fast food establishment, and knowing there is risk.

emily sparkle

As a person who can’t eat gluten, I appreciate all the things your chain and staff do to keep my food free of allergen. It makes it easy for me to find food on the road and I frequent a few shops. This location is really doing it’s level best even when supply chain and staffing issues take a toll, they remain cheerful and accommodating.

Matthew Avina

My work caters this for gluten free/intolerant people and damn I almost faked a disability to get a chance at these

Julio Broome

Maureen Palmer-Lavoie

They have an easy to understand menu with descriptions of the food so you know what you're getting. Fresh table side guacamole that you can customize to your liking. A full bar with many specialty drinks to choose from. A kids menu. Great staff, they check on you without being in your face. Perfection. They also have many items on the menu specifically marked gluten free.

Anthony Grimsley

Such a nice place. The food was excellent and the service was spectacular. The staff was friendly and inviting and truly made us feel welcome. Celiac and gluten friendly with many options to choose from. Would absolutely recommend!!!

Tsvi Tannin

Really fantastic. Everyone was nice and the manager was extra careful of my girlfriend's gluten allergy. Will definitely be coming back!

Doug Lindland

Wow! Fantastic burritos! Fresh and very good portions. Vegan and gluten free available also! I will be back often

Evan Olson

I ordered a chorizo taco and one of their premium baha fish tacos. The tacos came packed with meat and fish. With the crunchy fried white fish and the sauce (such a great sauce but I have no idea what it was), the baha taco is definitely something that I’d get again. After having the 2 tacos, I tried the carne asada empanada. Just look at the picture. They load up the already stuffed, crunchy, gluten free corn empanadas with all kinds of toppings. It is so nice that there is a place like this in CT. It was so good that I forgot about the salsa bar. Next time... One odd thing was that both soft corn tacos came with only 1 tortilla each. In the photos online, and generally at most Mexican places, there are 2 tortillas per taco. Only noticed because they felt a little thing without that extra tortilla.

dan porcello

Excellent gluten free menu items. Some of my favorite items are gluten free, and safe for my daughter, who has Celiac. She has never suffered a reaction after eating here, she loves this place and I have taken her multiple times. Food and atmosphere great. Highly recommend.

Jessie S

Authentic Mexican food. I have celiac and am super sensitive to gluten. I have eaten here a handful of times and have never gotten sick. It is nice to have a local business I can support. Their food is amazing, and I have always had a very pleasant experience with staff.

Tom Padberg

My wife and I both had excellent dinners. We love coming here. The food is always delicious and the plates are generous. The margaritas are great. Very friendly service. Now that it’s summer we really enjoy eating on their outdoor deck area. My wife has many gluten free options here with their corn tortillas.

Michael Vaughan

When they say they have gluten free options, it is only partially true. Cross contamination is an issue.

Fredda Gordon

I was hesitant to go to Rio Bravo last night for my birthday based on some bad reviews here but I decided to ignore them and I’m so glad I did! One in particular tears this place apart and that didn’t match my experience at all. We had so much fun!! I love the festive feel of the decor, the food was great and everyone is really nice! I had vegetable fajitas with shrimp added and they helped my friend who is gluten and dairy free choose the shrimp dish she chose. We also had the table-side guacamole which was delicious. I’m looking forward to going back soon!

David Garcia

Good service. Good food. Decent prices compared to other establishments in the area. We had pork burritos, enchiladas tacos and a bowl. Plenty of food and tasty. Fast service. Clean place. I would recommend getting food from this restaurant. Plenty of parking. Also the enchiladas were gluten free. You choose all your toppings similar to chipotle but tastier.

Jen B.

Food is good. Very few gluten free options.
