Excellent and high end GF mexican food that is celiac safe in my experiences.

Holly P

Perfect for gluten free meals! Amazing experience, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, friendly waiter, clean bathrooms, and lovely outdoor seating with a view of NYC! I got the roasted mushroom tacos! Delicious!

Kerry Leccese

I had the empanadas which weren’t my fave, but I loved the yuca fries and churros! Definitely check this place out if you’re celiac, it’s great :)

This is not a dedicated gf kitchen. They make pizzas and do not have separate cooking spaces. The staff is very educated and knowledgeable about allergies though.

NYC Treats

One of my favorite restaurants on the UES by far! The mac & cheese can be made gluten free and it's AMAZING. We also loved their roasted artichoke salad, paella, tuna tartare, and hamburger! The cozy atmosphere here is unmatched and this place is truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend making a reservation because it's definitely a popular spot

The bakery we originally ordered from for my son's Bar Mitzvah fell through and we were left with just a week to find non-dairy and gluten-free dessert options for our guests. Red Fern came through with delicious treats and the kind of problem-solving service that meant so much to us when we needed it most. Andrea was so accommodating, our order was ready on time, and everything was delicious. There were so many flavors of mini cupcakes from which to choose and they were fabulous! Yummy little cakes with amazing swirls of frosting and lovely little embellishments like candied fruit, sprinkles, mini cookies, and cookie crumbles. I could eat the chocolate peanut butter rice krispie treats every single day, so good! Nobody even knew the chocolate raspberry cake was non-dairy...they just knew it was delicious and ate every piece of it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We love the food at Smok-haus and have visited a number of times. We always enjoy our visit. This time, we chose to use them to cater my husbands birthday. Our party had a few different food allergies (gluten free, vegetarian) and they had options for them all when setting the menu. They were very responsive and answered all of my questions. Unfortunately, the day of my party I had a family emergency and Smok-haus was completely understanding and accommodating. Their food and service are top notch and I highly recommend them for your night out or event.

Good gluten free options! Good quality for the price and atmosphere

Had gf vegan chicken wings. Absolutely delicious. The girls who work here are very knowledgeable about allergens and dietary needs. The food was delicious and quick. Would recommend. The only sad thing was all of the delicious cupcakes were not gluten free.

Maura Postlethwait

I love Cantina because they have a dedicated gluten free fryer so you can have the chips, taquitos, chicken wings etc! There are so many options I go here with my boyfriend when we want a place that has an extensive list and is delicious. Also, their happy hour menu is basically all Gluten free and a steal. BOGO margs and $5 apps like their nachos which are one of my favs!

Kate Riddle

Nearly all GF menu and celiac safe

Sachin Parmar

PK is the absolute best! He truly cares about everyone he serves and will cater to all of your needs. I was vegetarian and gluten free and he made sure everything was prepared to the highest standards

Matthew Caldera

Best Mexican Food, Gluten Free menu in the state! The atmosphere and service is also incredible. I never get photos of the food because it's too good to wait 😆 Call ahead, or use Google to reserve you a table. The staff love having the AI system call and then get sassy 🤣

felicia milsop

mexican made from scratch no flour shells it’s amazing does not have GF on menu but naturally GF

Shivali Malkani

Hard to find places that are fully vegan and gluten free but this place totally is, and not only that but it’s so yummy and everyone is so friendly!

Kelly Scott

Had Salenas delivered for dinner and it was delicious. So fresh and tasty. It was so easy to find food I could eat (gluten free dairy free) and it tastes amazing. I also love being able to order margaritas to go!! 5 stars!

Amber M. Sherman

Best gluten free pizza and blue cheese in buffalo

Lillie Klaiman

Food and prices were great. I have celiac and they were very accommodating and helpful!

Kelly Brooker

Amazing food and easily visible gluten free options on menu

Jackson M.

I have ordered take our several times. Food is excellent. Not always sure it is celiac safe GF but many reviews say they have not had issues.

Janine Pickwick

Excellent food. However, not safe for Celiacs. Delicious Margaritas!

Emma Brown

Gf fryer and very celiac friendly

Lauren Cahill

Fabulous food and drinks plus an amazing staff. Your water glass will never be empty and your chip basket will always be full. The staff works as a team so you never need to wait for 1 server to assist you. The service is truly at a fine dining level. Their birthday song is so fun and you leave with a full belly and some to bring home. The Margarita's are amazing and the strawberry mint mocktail was delicious. The carne asada with plantains was perfectly paired together. They even have some plain dishes for your picky eaters and a refreshing gluten free menu. The building is spotless inside and out and the patio area is beautifully tiled.

Laura Sandstedt

We had dinner here. The wait staff ask about any food allergies before you order. I felt very comfortable eating here. Yummy food! The guac is amazing!!

Harris Bleaker

Literally the best tacos I’ve ever had and I think the entire menu may be gluten free? The menu is simple and I love that. It’s one of the most reliable places I eat at. I’m celiac and I’ve never had a problem.

Danielle Stoveland

The best tacos around!! The Baja Fish tacos are my absolute favorite. The pollo chipotle tacos are excellent as well! Everything is so fresh!! The sauces that come with your meal are amazing! You can taste the fresh vegetables and spices, definitely no canned ingredients here!! Being celiac and having this restaurant as an option near me is amazing as most of the menu is gluten free!

Nicole Cabrera

So much to say about this place. Cozy Ambiance, friendly staff, amazing drinks. The food is unique and delicious. Our favorite go to for a great margarita and table side guacamole. I’m gluten free and there are so many choices.

My wife, girlfriend and I visited Toro of Albany last night and the experience left us all dissatisfied. The blue corn tortillas used for the gluten free application of the chicken tacos were meely and unappetizing. The 32$ enchiladas with shrimp were 90% tortilla. Each only had 1 shrimp and very little filling. For the price tag, we expected a fantastic meal and it was not delivered. The margaritas were ok but at 15$ a piece, seemed over priced. The only bright spot was our bar tender, rob I believe. He was smart, funny, knowledgeable and overall the best part of the experience. Overall I would say visit this spot for drinks and conversation only.

Nicole Swallow

Loved this place! Super friendly staff, awesome food and drinks, and tons of gluten-free options—which is such a win. Everything tasted great and the vibe was really chill. Definitely coming back next time I am in the area.

Eduardo Molinos

One of the best food markets in NY. It is not the cheapest, but it is worth it. We took the tacos and the arepa (both gluten free) and they were really tasty

Marsha Mei

Came here on a Saturday for boozy brunch. They had a bunch of different mimosa flavors and sangria. It was fun trying different flavors. They had many gluten free and vegan food options as well. Carolyn was awesome! She was super nice and friendly!

Scott Radloff

Great restaurant, Amazing gluten free options.

Bring back the slow roasted pork taco please, definitely one of the best tacos to have come from this place such a shame it was only on the menu for a short period of time. The margaritas are always excellent and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. The portion size of the tacos could be a little bit more generous, for example maybe four pieces of pork belly instead of two or three and the Baja fish could definitely be a little bit bigger. Sam, the manager was very pleasant and definitely a great asset to the restaurant. Fauricio is one of my favorite bartenders and always make such perfect drinks. Even when you’re a little indecisive, he can lead you down the right path. Also, adding a gluten-free dessert, that isn’t just the sorbet would be highly appreciated.

Kimberly M

Very easy to eat gluten free here. Once I notified the waiter I had Celiac, she went back to the kitchen for a fresh batch of tortilla chips to ensure they were gluten free and not cross contaminated, I immediately felt comfortable eating here after that! The enchiladas were amazing and the orange flan blew me away.

Ash Bachani

Dedicated gf fryer 🙌🏼

Katie Gookin

Dinner was fantastic. We had a change of dinner plans for a group of 9, and they sat us in 15 minutes. The service was excellent; our waitress took such good care of us, and we got our food quickly. We also needed gluten-free options and were very impressed with how knowledgeable the staff was in accommodating our needs. Highly recommend this place for both the service and the food quality! ---

Gary Savage

Superb in every way - vegetarian and gluten-free friendly too!

Very good and most items gluten free

danielle

I never leave reviews, but the closing of his restaurant has made me feel really so sad. The first day I ever ate here I came by myself and the atmosphere was so peaceful. I am so thankful to have found this place which became my favorite restaurant in NYC. All gluten free. A true gem, in the cut, which I loved. I ate here today on their last day and have been wishing for a miracle that they would just decide to stay open! Beautiful decor, the service is always pleasant, and the food is always so damn good. The best churros ever. Best nachos, fajitas, quesadillas, tostadas EVER, drinks, everything. <3

So not only does this place have amazing food and a ton of gluten free/vegetarian options but there service is incredible! That's all you really need to know but if you want a real story, buckle up... Last month I had planned a twenty person suprise birthday party for my brother. We were not able to have a 30th party for him due to covid, so we planned to make his 31st extra special. The venue (that we all love and still do!) called me 3 hours before the party was supposed to start to tell me they had a Covid outbreak ...and needed to cancel to keep us all safe and healthy. We of course wouldn't be charged for the party being canceled but how were we going to host 20 people with less than 3 hours notice AND keep the change of plans a suprise? Alhough I appreciate the restaurants actions it did leave me in an insane time crunch. Mesa Grande was my immediate thought for delicious, allergy friendly food, that everyone loves and they cater! Miraculously the team member who took my panicked phone call walked me through what to order and then contacted her manager to confirm the details. They made it happen! I ordered hard and soft shell tacos, chips with queso, guacamole, salad, and black beans. The Mesa Grande staff were able to get all the food made and loaded into my car in just 2.5 hours! This gave me enough time to grab party supplies, booze, dessert, and get to my moms house to set up before guests and the birthday boy arrived. The party was a huge success 🙌 My brother was shocked! The guests were well fed and happy. Mesa Grande saved the day. I cannot thank them enough or recommend them enough. In a time of social disconnection, difficulty, and hardship, Mesa Grande was instrumental in safetly bringing my family together.

A fun place to have a shrimp 🌮 taco. Gluten free corn tortillas available.

Lisa D

Great for gluten free! Delicious!

Mee Dee

I love this place! The food is great and they have vegan and gluten free options. The service is great as well. I give the atmosphere 4 out of 5 simply because certain nights they have a live DJ and it makes dining inside a little uncomfortable for me but that's only because that's not my vibe and I'm sure others wouldn't mind plus in the summer you can eat outside and it is just relaxing.

Derek A

They have gluten free options, including pancakes. The portions are generous and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
