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.

Great gluten free food at a reasonable price!

Lynn Sanguedolce

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

Delicious Ruben sandwich and I was able to fully enjoy it with gluten free bread!

Steph

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!

Randy Earl

As one with Celiac disease, I love that I can get a gluten free bowl.

Amber J

Great food just slightly small portions for the price we paid. Will definitely go back again as this is gluten free friendly.

Amber Easterling

Absolutely everything on the menu is gluten free except the empanadas! They can make those in flautas form though! It’s so nice to go to a restaurant and be able to order almost everything on the menu!

What a gem!!!! I have a dairy allergy and my daughter has a gluten allergy. Not having to decipher a menu to decide on an acceptable dish is refreshing. No anxiety, no frustrations. Sealevel is good food and good vibes. We split then chili cheese fries for an appetizer. So good when you can't have a certain ingredient. I had the Chavo lentil burger with plantains an jerk sauce. The perfect blend of sweet and tangy! It was heaven. My daughter had the Tempeh Ruben with house chips and chipotle mayo. We had banana pudding for dessert and took an oatmeal cream pie cookie and a dirty brownie to go. The staff is amazing. I look forward to driving an hour and 20 mins from SC to come back!

So many GF options and I’ve never had any issues. Great food for all!!

Wife is gluten free and most of the menu is GF. You would never know it. It tastes better than any other Mexican food we have ever had. Birria tacos, cornbread, carne asada tacos, enchiladas, EVERYTHING was top notch. We were in town for one night and ate here twice!

Jennifer Adolfie

Excellent food with many gluten free options! GF options are clearly marked on the menu. The GF bun was awesome. Definitely recommend!

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.

Danielle Jordan

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

Awesome friendly service. Great fresh food with gluten free and vegan options. Cool atmosphere by train tracks. Love this spot!

Zack

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.

Karen Gonzalez

Brunch is LEGIT, and very reasonable on the price index , Dinner on the other hand is more fine dining. However it worth it, especially those with dietary restriction like vegetarian or Gluten free

Amber Easterling

This is an amazing place for lunch or dinner! Almost everything on the menu is gluten-free except for a few exceptions like quesadillas and a couple of desserts. Even the Baja fish tacos are gluten-free!

Jeff & Brooke Peel

This place is such a delight. The food is very tasty. And they have several gluten free options which is helpful. The staff is great. The atmosphere is nice and clean. The seating is great for families and big groups. It’s so easy for a family night out. One of our favorite spots in Mooresville.

Alexis Albarran

Love that they have gluten free options and mark things as gluten allergy

Madelyn M.

GLUTEN FREE bun option. Truly a take-out restaurant. It is located in a shopping center and there is limited seating inside and outside. The smash burgers were awesome and the fries were hot, fresh, and delicious. A tad expensive (two yum yum burgers and fries, one with a GF bun came to $42) but really good.

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!

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!

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.

Amanda Martinez

The food is delicious!!! Lots of variety, and gluten free options. Service is great and the restaurant is beautiful

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!

We were out doing some practice driving for my son's driving test the next day and he said he was hungry. I remembered seeing Quixote Fine Cuisine when I was in Brevard before but had never gone in. I can't believe that I have missed out on this dining experience for so long. Everything we ate was delicious, and there were so many unique dishes on the menu that I had the hardest time deciding what to order. The cocktail and wine lists are excellently curated, far above most Mexican restaurants. My son's bacon wrapped shrimp over pasta with a poblano sauce was exquisite! My fish tacos were packed with fish and the chipotle sauce was delicious! We already have plans to bring a friend back who is gluten free, because their menu was well labeled and had a large selection of options that were gluten free. More gf than not, as a matter of fact. So happy to have finally tried Quixote and will be back soon!

Riley Horne

I love eating outside here. Their gardens are lovely and in bloom in the summer. The tacos are amazing and have many options for vegetarians and meat eaters. Plus, they have a good number of gluten-friendly possibilities too! (my friend who has a gluten allergy has eaten there safely many times, but it is a mixed kitchen, so make sure to double-check if you go). I love the pork-belly tacos, personally. I recommend this place for getting together with friends because everyone can get something they like, and it will be quick and easy. Do keep an eye on which location you are going to, though, not because any are bad, but because they are a good distance away from each other. It would be a shame to try and meet someone for lunch and find out they are 30 minutes away on the other side of town!

Autum Kirgan

Delicious! Everything. I took my staff there for a holiday gathering. Lots of variety, veg, vegan, gluten free. Food, drinks,and service were on point!

David Starr

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.

Franco Girard

Ordered gluten free on vacation and have now spent the past 2 days in bed. This was the one place i looked forward to eating at and now i regret every moment of it. Food was sub par at best for a party of 8. Very disappointed. Dont boast of gluten free options if you are not going to really care about the health of others.

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!

We went here for my moms 70th birthday and holy smokes did it exceed all of my expectations. The service was incredible, attentive and sincere. Our server did an amazing job of staying on top of all our needs while also giving us space to enjoy and never making us feel rushed. We took almost all of his recommendations for food, from apps to mains and dessert and each one was spot on and delicious. I so appreciated that management came to our table to check in and how special they all made my mom feel. The food was out of control good with so many gluten free options for me that everyone enjoyed sharing. The vibe and atmosphere were perfect for a nice dinner, celebration or some romance. I can't believe I waited this long to go here even though it's in my neighborhood. I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my mom. I'm a customer for life now and I can't wait to go back.

Joshua England

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!

Kevin Hale

We couldn't dine in but the waitress who took our order was very friendly and helpful. The food was very good. I especially enjoyed the bean dip. Lots of gluten-friendly options. Overall, I was pleased.

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!

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

Holly Eden Zahn

Best Crab Cakes I have ever head. Team grilled not fried. It brought out the crab flavor. My partner was able to eat gluten free and loved the seasoning on the grill shrimp. I also loved the local art and stained glass. It's super casual but the food would lead you to believe it's finer dining. Did I mention the best crab cakes ever?

Laura Ann Gilpin

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.

Pamela Stroud

If you've been to one Chipotle, you've been to them all. Everything is freshly prepared and because you can get what you want on it and have it as a salad, is also gluten free. They have a list of allergens available.

Steve Rankin

Understands celiac needs, and the food was amazing. Get there early to get a seat

Khalisa Rae

one of my favorite restaurants. great gluten free options. warm and welcoming. ive only gotten sick once from the tortilla soup so if you have celiacs, i would stay away from it.

Priyanka Dhake

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.

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!!!

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!

Jamie G

They have something for a variety of diets, including gluten free!

Mazharul Haque

The food was simply amazing. They also have gluten-free options. Price was reasonable and they serve in great portion enough to pack the rest home!
