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.

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!

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.

I was excited to try this place because they had 2 dedicated vegan options, that also just galen to be gluten free. I could either get the blue corn tortilla tacos or the enchiladas. Both came with nopales (cactus) and black beans. I chose the tacos, simply becauseI'm not typically a big fan of green tomatillo sauce, which was on the enchiladas. The tacos were very good and extremely filling. I feel they could have used more veggies in them and less beans though, for my personal preference, because the beans are pretty salty. We also got the guac and chips as an appetizer, and the guac was pretty darn good! I decided to try their Cadillac Margarita and was happy I did. Very flavorful and strong. Definitely not one of those weak ones with the electric neon green fake mix I've seen at other places. The atmosphere really has some cool touches and the building itself is a fantastic architectural design. If you haven't checked this place out yet, I highly suggest it!

Stopped here for a quick bite (second dinner) after spending some time in downtown Raleigh. Not only was the food excellent, the service was great too! This was a perfect spot to sit for some food on a hot summer night. The chorizo quesadilla was delicious and the spicy margarita was no joke! This is also a great option for those who are gluten-free.

If you are celiac, do NOT eat here. Sickest I’ve ever been. I was told that my meal was gluten free, but there is no way. After getting sick, I researched and saw that many other people have gotten sick here too. Food isn’t even that good.

I had the veggie ramen and it was absolutely delicious and I completely recommend. The reason for the low rating is because they charge $2 to swap ramen for rice noodles. Rice noodles are cheaper but there’s still an up charge just because I can’t eat gluten

Good gluten free selection for celiacs. Many of the side items are not gluten-free, that's the issue. Make sure you check with your server and if they're not 100% sure yet a manager to verify it, things like the rice are gluten free. Excellent food though

We have been wanting to check out this place for awhile now. I called before we went to see if they had any gluten free and vegan options and was told the their tacos and salads could be both, along with the guacamole and salsa. I ordered the Mexican Salad without meat and cheese and added guacamole with the Baja Lime Dressing. It was absolutely delicious! The chips and guac and the house made margarita were pretty spot on also. Good pricing, good service and good atmosphere. Definitely worth a shot if you're in the area.

We used Salsa Fresh as a caterer for our wedding in May 2019! Bill Golden at the Raleigh location was beyond nice and very flexible. He was more than accommodating, allowing us to make special requests (such as corn tortillas for our gluten free friends and extra veggies for our vegan friends) and worked to ensure everything would go smoothly day of. Everything from serving dishes to sterno burners was included at a VERY reasonable price (such cheaper than anywhere else we looked) and everything was delivered and set up about an hour before the ceremony! We were provided with MORE than enough food for 45 people and it was all delicious and fresh. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you Bill and the Salsa Fresh team!

Great service and great food! I took a first generation Mexican American friend of mine who is very picky about Mexican food and he loved it too. I have been here for lunch a few times but never for dinner. Lunch service is fast with good size portions. Parking is not bad, there is easy handy cap access. The outdoor seating is great. Lots of options if you need to minimize gluten or meat. Drink menu seems like fun even though I have not had the opportunity to enjoy any of their beverages.

The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious and can be spicy! All different types of Mexican food. There are lots of different types of meat you can get including chicken and steak, and I believe there are salads and gluten free and dairy free, and there might even be vegan options! The kids menu could be better though. Even so I would totally recommend!

The food was so good! The atmosphere was fun (we went on Friday night). It was a great experience. I didn’t take a picture of the food but it was amazing. I got the Quesabirrias De Res which was some of the best tacos that I have ever had. The tortillas were corn for those with gluten intolerance. It’s definitely a must try.
