Top 44 Gluten-Free Mexican Havens Across North Carolina

So I have autoimmune disease called Celiac Disease and that means gluten and me do not get along at all. This place has great gluten free reviews and was super excited coming here. Well now I am about ready to lose my mind. I asked my usual questions concerning gluten free items and preparations for their food/drinks. I ordered a CIDER and got served a BEER without hesitation. This is actually absurd. When somebody asks you about gluten free items and safety precautions and then immediately within 2 minutes get served a gluten containing item, it’s just actually ridiculous. The server was apologetic and kind but not knowing the difference between beer and cider is disheartening.

Fantastic gluten free menu! Definitely recommend the hush puppies and Boat Entree's. All dessert is gluten free and they even have gluten free beer which unfortunately wasn't available the day I went, but usually is.

Great food and staff is very accommodating. Most menu items are gluten-free. I have never had a problem here.

Kendall Bradley

Amazing fish tacos and beautiful outdoor patio area! I also appreciate the gluten free bread option for sandwiches.

I love popping in to Centro for lunch. Great, quick service, and reliably awesome food. The flautas and tacos are my favorites - and they even have a gluten free fried chicken taco which is so so good!

Fabulous food and our server, Jules, was wonderful! Took care of everything needed and did a great job with gluten free. We will for sure be back - thank you, Jules!

The falafels are labeled on the menu as GF, but all food is cooked in a shared fryer. I had told our waitperson that I was GF and TNF and asked if my order was safe; I was not warned about the shared fryer. Safe if one can eat just a little bit of gluten.

Most items are Gluten-free

New favorite spot! A family member has celiac and we are able to eat here safely - gluten free and safe from cross contamination! Aside from that, the food is absolutely incredible. Unassuming exterior but the vibe inside is great. Service was also top notch.

Angelica Rodriguez

This place was great! Loved the overall environment and the feel of the restaurant’s look. Not to mention the waiter we had was extremely nice and our food came out awesome and delicious! This place is also very good for those who are celiac with the many delicious options you can have other than salads. Overall, awesome place and would come back again and again.

White Duck Tacos are a must if you're in Asheville! The tacos are amazing, staff is friendly, and the location on the river has a great outdoor seating space! Great for gluten free needs and very dog friendly.

A go-to date night spot for me and my husband. Convenient parking, delicious food, and a unique atmosphere…this restaurant checks all the boxes. Additionally, I have celiac disease and therefore must avoid gluten completely. I never seem to have issues here and they always accommodate & modify my favorite taco (the carne) to make it gluten free. It’s a toss up which dip is the best…they are all amazing. I’ve never had a bad taco here, and my husband loves their burrito el guapo. If you love tacos, don’t hesitate to eat here. By far the best tacos in Raleigh.

My server was friendly and great with timing. I was very pleased with my spinach enchiladas. Great portion, flavorful. Cute tile on the floor. Nice variety on the menu. Wish the floors didn't feeling greasy. Above all for me a big improvement would be if it was clear to me what allergens are in the food. When I mentioned to my server that I needed my food to be gluten-free he looked like he was guessing that the enchiladas were gluten free because they're made with corn tortilla but I did not see him make a note for the chef or anyting and he did not assure me that it was gluten free. I'm have issues and I have no idea if the yummy sauce had gluten. Either marking the menu for customers or letting the chef know would be a huge benefit

Awsome gluten free options Delisious food

Joseph Rose

Just got into town, will be eating here again while here for 8 days! Awesome choices! Loads of options for someone needing gluten free. The jerk chicken with mango salsa was great, I’ll be trying other stuff for sure.

Great food & drinks, especially for folks with food allergies. Most items on the menu are gluten free, the staff is well versed on the few items that are, and the menu is well marked. I recommend to use the paper ordering slip when ordering food so you can write in your food allergies/restrictions - it’s a great option to have!

Stuart Shaw

Great food and variety of beer/wines. Gluten free options available which is perfect as well.

Amazing sandwich on gluten free bread. A bit more of a takeout place than sit down

Laurie Tollman

Excellent quality "fast " food. I've eaten here many times. They have a variety of options, including vegan and gluten-free. Inside dining can be noisy. Outdoor dining in the backyard is preferable if the weather is nice. There's lots of picnic tables with umbrellas.

Bill L

Went there for a bite to eat before seeing a show nearby. There's a great selection of tacos, along with gluten-free & dairy free options for them. All of them were excellent! Plenty of seating, friendly & prompt service. We'll be back again!

Shayna Grogan

Service was 100% (Kaitlyn C.!) Drinks were on point as well. Hot fresh food. Vegan and gluten free options. Server asked us while we ordered drinks if we had any allergies or dietary restrictions. Our first time and surely not our last!

Adam Mullikin

We randomly stopped for lunch and we were nothing but impressed by the service, the quality and the atmosphere on top of the food being outstanding! One of our party had a gluten allergy and they did absolutely wonderful in accommodating it! Our server was spot on and the chef came out to make sure everything was OK!

Kelly Hewitt Penke

Had an amazing experience given our dietary restrictions. I am gluten free and my husband is dairy free. Our waiter was very helpful and asked the cook for recommendations. We were also approached by the manager to ensure we got what we wanted. Felt very cared for and everything was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant/location!

Got the Tex Rexy pork and rice bowl, with a side of beans and it's all gluten-free!! Outside seating is preferred. Cool place, funky vibe and colorful wall artwork by local artists.

They have exceptional, consistent food. On top of that, they are very knowledge of gluten free options and what you can/can't order. Recommended!

Jessica Britton

Had my birthday dinner here tonight and it was wonderful! I have Celiac disease and our server was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The gluten free chicken bites appetizer is so good! I will definitely be back for those! The open faced enchiladas are very fresh, but personally I'd prefer closed, rolled enchiladas smothered in sauce/cheese. Open faced was difficult to eat. Wine selection was really good and they have a great variety of reds and whites from Chile and Argentina. All around, it was a good time and we look forward to coming back and trying something different from the menu!

Danielle D

Our server Rosemary was friendly and attentive to my allergies. I was excited to learn their chips are fried in a dedicated fryer that's gluten free. I had the Pastor tacos which were gluten free and dairy free, they were great!

Christopher Hadley

Megan Jackson

Food was incredible! They add seasoning to the chips that is fantastic. I have celiacs and most things could be made gluten free and I had no reaction.

Sarah Ponder

AMAZING quality food and service! And sooo many good gluten free options! I had the birria nachos, and OMG I could’ve cried it was so tasty

Anthony Monioudis

A party of four went right before Christmas. Nice selection of gluten-free options for those who need to be careful. Marked on menu and server was knowledgeable. Had chips and queso (GF), Brick Oven Salmon (GF) and chicken alfredo. All were delicious. Nice atmosphere.

Taco Temple is the best taco joint in Asheville. And I'm from Austin, Texas, so I know tacos. They have fresh, healthy options as well as decadent ones, and everything can be accommodated for a Gluten Free and/or Dairy Free diet (although probably not for Celiacs with cross contamination). Great Guacamole and salsa options, too, as well as a great variety of sides and salads. It's counter service, which is fast and easy, and the indoor and outdoor seating is charming and cheerful. Great place for a casual first date! They also have a drive through window pick up for take-out (order ahead of time), which is super convenient and pretty quick. When I'm missing Austin noms, this is where I go.

3 Tequilas Restaurante Mexicano offers a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and a vibrant, family-friendly setting. The menu is extensive, featuring a variety of traditional Mexican dishes, all made with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Many diners appreciate the generous portions and well-seasoned meals, with favorites like enchiladas, fajitas, and margaritas receiving high praise. The restaurant also accommodates dietary needs, offering gluten-free options clearly marked on the menu. Service is generally attentive, though peak hours can sometimes lead to longer wait times. Overall, it’s a great spot for authentic Mexican cuisine in Kill Devil Hills.

Amber Easterling

This is a wonderful Brewery with lots of gluten free options from nachos to quesadillas to wraps to wings! They offer ciders, wine and cocktails. Such a fun environment for friends and family!

Megan McDonnell

This place was so cute and the fish tacos were delicious. Freshest fish we’ve had out here! Best meal of our trip. My dad is gluten and dairy free and they were very accommodating.

Robin B

The service here was the absolute worst. We ordered chips and queso and it went to the wrong table and when we asked they said it was coming. We literally never got them in spite of asking another time. Then we got a taco with a flour tortilla in spite of telling them it was needed to be gluten free and specifying only corn tortillas. It was sent back and then 10 min later it came back with 2 flour tortillas. My poor daughter had no meal since they couldn’t get it right. I never got my tea drink as well. We’ve never had such slow and poor service. We asked for the manager and she never came over to see us. The waiter apologized and said the food items were taken off the bill to which we said that’s good since they either never came to the table or were inedible. Will never go here again!!!
