Top 50 Gluten-Free Mexican Havens to Explore in Ohio

Rebecca Duke

Absolutely fell in love with this place!! We were traveling and looking for a safe place to eat with celiac/severe gluten allergy as well as dairy free. The fact that Portia’s entire menu is gluten free and vegan was AMAZING so everything was completely safe!! We drank the mushroom lattes and split the breakfast burrito bowl and a waffle - the food was out of this world. Everyone on staff was so kind and in a great mood, and the space is cozy and colorful. Will definitely back if we find ourselves in Columbus again!

Wow the food tasted as good as it looked! Everything is vegan and gluten free but it doesn't taste like it is! We ordered the cheese plate which had so much variety and different flavors! Everything was so fresh, beautifully presented, and filling! We left with full stomachs. My favorite was the chocolate chip cookies. It was gooey but didn't leave me feeling icky like most sweets!

Joe was my server and he was awesome! It’s always been hard eating out while having celiac and he took my allergy into heavy consideration

My partner and I travel a lot for work. We always seek out the best vegan spots to eat. This one really blew me away. I was extremely satisfied with the customer service, the atmosphere, and the food. Wyatt took our order. He had an excellent attitude despite the line (probably because the place is delicious) and he was very helpful in helping us select a dish. I had the Frisco melt and the red velvet cake. I ate every bite! They do not skip on flavor and quality ingredients. My partner had sausage egg and cheese with gluten free bread the pumpkin loaf and Caesar salad. Usually gluten free options are scarce and hit or miss on flavor. All of these dishes were delicious. And there were plenty of gluten free options as well. Thank you for providing excellent service and food for us vegan travelers! We Highly recommend this place!

Absolutely fabulous authentic Mexican food, dedicated gluten free. AAAAA+++++

Lilli Thompson

KENDELL IS AMAZING she was so accommodating with my celiacs and went above and beyond to make sure I was secure about all options! She was so amazing. The food is so good too! Caso is top dog

Jen Pfleghaar

Large gluten free menu. It’s all marked. Meat is from a local farm Canal Junctions. The homemade salsa is amazing and fresh. Can’t beat this quality!

Jennifer Noelle

Came after a show at Nationwide Arena - very convenient and walkable. Pros: They were able to get us in about 30 minutes before our reservation on a crowded night, our server was incredibly friendly and helpful, fun atmosphere. Guac, street corn and mixed drinks were delicious. Several gluten free options. Cons: three people ordered the carne asada and found the steak to be tough and chewy, almost inedible. Somewhat pricey.

Abby Ham

Good place! I'm not super adventurous so my meal wasn't anything great (my fault 100%). But the menus list what's Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, and what has dairy, which was great because we had three people who fell into one of those categories.

Lori M

We come here pretty regularly and consistently have good service (Anne is great!) and they correctly accommodate making tacos dairy free and/or gluten free. The tacos are great...definitely recommend trying Lucy's Fire. The music can be a little loud sometimes but it's usually good.

Laura Brogden

Katie P was fantastic! She was kind and attentive for our whole meal. I have gluten and dairy allergies and she had the manager prepare everything to make sure it was safe!

Kristie Rolfsen

Great place for everyone!

Natalie Karr

Kailey gave us excellent service!! Staff is consistent in ensuring the proper precautions are taken to keep me safe ( celiac disease ) & well fed ( scrumptious!!) We will see y’all soon! Eat here!!

Michaela Nee

Love this place, really colorful fun atmosphere and Madi Moore was an awesome hostess. Lots of vegan and gluten free options!

We went there for the first time tonight. You don’t know often anymore, but found the menu irresistible and the reviews were better than most we’d seen all online. I’m vegetarian and went with someone who is gluten intolerant. We had absolutely no issues being accommodated, which is not always easy. The food was amazing, but what was even better was the service! Our waiter was Gabriel. He was attentive, but not cloying; he made sure taken care of and very well also. I’m extremely particular, one of those “everything on the side” people, and he had no issues whatsoever with it. You can tell when someone does and he really didn’t. At the end of the meal I asked that he gave his manager the receipt after I had put a note on it stating how amazing he was. He didn’t even look at it and took it straight to her. Beth, his manager, was near the door, and spoke with us as we left. She was as charming as Gabriel. We let her know how much we enjoyed her meal and the service, and that we would definitely be back. We live about 45 miles from this restaurant, but it was well worth the trip. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a wonderful meal and especially to people with dietary restrictions, such as vegetarians and vegans, or food allergies, etc. The care with which our food was made and the attention to our needs was nothing less than outstanding.

Danielle Perry

Fantastic service and food and drinks! The chicken enchiladas, chips n salsa and the jalapeno cornbread were my favorites but everything was 10/10! Options available for dietary restrictions- gluten free/celiac

Sadia Kalsoom

Our server RYAN S. did an excellent job with explaining the menu and various gluten free options. We had the build your own nachos- I loaded that thing up with so many toppings and it was great. I’m a sauce person and the spicy crema and creamy avocado sauce were nice but not actually spicy at all. Also had the Baja shrimp taco on two corn tortilla (GF)… that taco was solidly OK. The tortillas got cold and kind of rigid quickly.

Haeley Welch

One of the best places I’ve ever been! They have a “build your own taco” section which makes it great for vegans, vegetarians, or picky eaters! Gluten free friendly! I got The Heater on soft corn shells and it was amazing! Definitely recommend!

Christine Bennett

The menu at Little Miami is extremely limited, but what they do serve is great! I've honestly enjoyed everything that I've ever eaten there. The gluten free pizza crust is especially tasty. This is one of those, " order at the bar and they'll bring it to your table" places and the line to order is ALWAYS long. Do not make the mistake of leaving your tab open, or else you will have to wait in an extremely long line again to pay your bill at the end of the night. The beer there is fine, but nothing that makes it stand out from any other Brewery in the Cincinnati area. What makes little Miami special and so popular, is its location on the banks of the little Miami River. It's a great place to sit outside and watch the kayakers float by.

Ruby Rhods

Barrio's food is delicious, and they have a lot of customizable options for people who are gluten free, pescatarian, or vegetarian. Service can be hit-or-miss; some servers are great, others can be a challenge and/or don't seem to much care about customers. Most of the time my order is made correctly, but my most recent visit my meal was made wrong. I know the ticket contained the correct info because my friend looked at it before the server took it and remarked upon the particular ingredient that I'd selected, but was never actually included in my dish. Instead I was given a dish containing an entirely different, and quite unpalatable, ingredient. Vibes are decent overall, decor is cool, and the bar makes good drinks. Can get REALLY loud though when full, and it seems like the just jack up the music when it's packed, making it sometimes overwhelming sound-wise.

Leslie Bruhn

I go here for fancy tacos and great margaritas in a casual setting. I appreciate that their menu clearly specifies which items have dairy and gluten. Sam was our waiter tonight. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure our whole table was taken care of.

Domino Hooks

Cool, bohemian space with amazing fresh food. Literally everything is good. Plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options. Coloring pages and crayons for kids. No parking lot, but street parking is usually easy enough to find.

Madison Carr

Nice causal place to eat, offers a full bar with indoor and outdoor seating options. They do have a few gluten-free options. Their salads were amazing and came in a huge portion!

I've personally been to at least 3 different Condados Tacos restaurants, but this is the one im a regular at as its closest to home. The food is great, I typically get the build your own nachos, but you'll find me getting tacos here on occasion as well. I wouldn't put it as the "best" Mexican in town, but it's definitely a great place to go with family, friends, casual date, or just somewhere to grab a bite on your own. The atmosphere is great, it's very modern and colorful, music is always great here too! The staff is very friendly and efficient, as well as knowledgeable on the menu and allergies. They have a system they can put any food allergy into their tablets to alert the chef, and I've never had a problem with my celiac here. Anyone who has tastebuds for heat should try their "dirty sauce," it's got a good amount of heat to it, but it's also PACKED with flavor! I bought a bottle of it from the restaurant, and I use it often!

Eric King

Great food and great service. Friendly atmosphere. Many gluten free options.

Alexis King

Went here after finding out one of our favorite restaurants in Cleveland was closed. Was really looking forward to trying this place as we always go up to cleveland and pass this place. The only good thing about this place was the view from the table. Food was pricey, and the menu was hard to read if you didn't know Spanish. They do offer gluten-free and vegan options. The food was not as good as I was hoping. The meat in the tacos was really weird and tasted dried. One of the people I was with ordered the burrito which had bison shoulder in the burrito and said the meat was veiny. Our drinks were filled up once right before we left due to our waitor not wanting to come back to our table. The booth we were sat in had a big tear and was wondering how that was possible when the food was so overpriced. The plates that had our food was on was chipped in areas. Super disappointed! Will not be back!

We catered Mazunte’s for our wedding. It was AWESOME! It was vegetarian and gluten free friendly. We got multiple compliments from our guests on how tasty and fun our taco catering was. We ordered 3 tacos per person, for about 70 people, and despite many people having seconds, we were left with loads of yummy leftovers. I believe the cost was about $15~$20 per person, depending on how many add-ons. The service was super efficient. We didn’t even have to say a word to them. The team setup, and was in and out in about 20 minutes. Cleanup was super easy too, as everything they brought was disposable. 11/10. Thanks for bringing the taste to our wedding!

R Burkett

Alli was great! The margs are always awesome. Great gluten free options though they don’t market themselves as necessarily a “gluten free” place. The acoustics in their building kinda suck but thats true of all Condados restaurants. I recommend.

Kelsey Bowers

Great tacos and really fast service! Lots of vegan and celiac friendly options

Angela Blair

Love Agave & Rye In Rookwood! The food was awesome as always! Enjoy the new menu and taco flight option! Our server, Megan, was awesome and really appreciate ensuring that we could accommodate my husband’s dairy & gluten sensitivity.

Courtney Kurczewski Krause

We had a wonderful dining experience! I have Celiac disease and our server was very good knowledgeable about gluten free options and avoiding cross contact. She was very friendly, answered all our questions, and provided quick service. The potato appetizer, chips and salsa flight, enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, and cake were delicious! We'll definitely be back in again next time we're in Dayton! Thank you so much!

Sue A Gaddam

Tasty food - not low call but good. Excellent gluten free options, too.

Nicol Ray

We celebrated National Margarita Day with a pitcher of “Mustache Rides” and we were pleasantly surprised! Don’t be fooled by the size of the pitcher, they pack a punch for sure. We do wish they would back off on the ice a bit in the pitcher allowing more of the margarita goodness to serve the 4 of us. None the less, it was a tasty concoction. As for the food, this will be one of our regular stops from now one. Queso, guac, and salsa are all highly recommended. The chips and salsa are “help yo’self”, as much as you like. Genius! The tacos slap and be sure to upgrade to Weesy-style because the goodness overtook the importance of mindful eating at that point. They go out of their way of helping you save a buck while filling your belly on Tuesdays with a price cut on their tacos and I would suggest getting in early. Be generous to the staff, they really do a great job! Atmosphere has a funky vibe and a great playlist. If you are looking for gluten-free options, you will feel right at home.

Jack Assinine

We ate indoors on a cool Friday evening in April. Not your typical Mexican fare. I had a poblano pepper stuffed with squash and vegan cheese. I enjoyed my house margarita, best I've had in a while. Vegetarian and gluten free available.

C. M.

This is the third place I stopped at for Nachos while in the Cleveland area. Next time, I'll skip the others and just come here! It was hands down the best, love the salsa bar and love the patio and that it was Gluten Free!!! I'll be back!

Carrie Roth

Dedicated gluten free menu and anything with Anasazi bbq sauce

Brande Marie

The Queso AND chips are gluten free, love the patio!

Aaron T. Howard

Absolutely fantastic food! Very careful with Gluten Free labeling and selections. Highly recommend this restaurant, the food is certainly more than enough as the portions are huge. The Don Charly pineapple is soooooooooo good and had really great spices!

Emily Harsh

First time going 40 weeks pregnant with some dietary restrictions. They were very accommodating to ensure my meal was gluten and dairy free and our server was very understanding. The *virgin* pear margarita was delicious and I can't wait to go back with less restrictions and try some of their awesome menu options. The brisket was amazing and my husband loved the ground beef as well. He's not a huge fan of tacos but this place has such a creative and unique menu compared to most other places in the area. We will definitely be back.

Brandi Farris

A cute taco place that has a build your own style of taco menu. This was my second time visiting while in Cleveland. I better understood what to order. I personally had a shrimp taco and the steak taco and a basic ground sirloin beef taco. Being gluten free I selected the gluten free corn hard shells. They were some of the best I've had. Both taco combinations I created were good. The shrimp I wish I would have gotten 2 of instead of the ground sirloin. I wasn't a huge fan of the meat. I am also very picky about my ground beef and it was not for me. I added the cilantro lime aoli cream and quesa fresca cheese to my shrimp taco. My only complaint would be, they barely put any cheese on it. I almost thought my tacos didn't have any on them. The steak was slightly tough but not bad. I probably wouldn't get it again. I'd definitely order the shrimp combo again and try another combination. They offer a lot of variety in meats and toppings for the taco. You can also get them in a bowl. I didn't order one but their margarita flights looked yummy. Definitely recommend this place if you are in downtown Cleveland. My sister order the chips and queso dip and I tried the queso and it was good.

Tyler Ross

Our server Ender provided top-tier customer service and handled my wife's gluten allergy with care and efficiency uncommon in the fast food industry. He knew what he was doing and immediately took the necessary precautions and cleaning steps to provide her with safe food. We were blown away with his respectful and professional attitude. My wife is Celiac and has a hard time eating out; places like Chipotle and employees like Ender make this process a whole lot easier. Definitely visiting this location again!

Justin kemp

I have celiac disease so I am very allergic to gluten And every time I visit this chipotle they are very friendly and very good about taking all the precautions to avoid cross-contamination. Always my favorite one to go to!!!

cj waltz

Kaylee or how ever she spells it was wonderful. Took all 5 of my kids and my niece to eat. My niece she has a disease where she can't eat gluten. So Kaylee made sure everything was clean and taken care of before her food was fixed. Not every place would have done that.

David Knighton

Loved this tiny little place. My wife needed GF (Celiac) and their menu had it listed. The food was absolutely fantastic. We got a protein bowl and chicken enchiladas. Perfect. Will be back for sure. Cool find.

roeyn weiser

great tacos for sure but the gluten free options are not safe my friend got rly sick

Natalie Meek

the best chipotle experience i’ve had with celiac disease! they actually get it. they prepare me fresh rice and beans and get out fresh cold stuff. they use fresh spoons, wipe the line off and change gloves every time i come here. most chipotle’s don’t understand the harm of cross contamination but it seems as though the employees are all trained and educated. it’s so nice to go to a place i feel is “safe” to eat.

Lisa Weyand

Loved it, built to order before your eyes. super fresh veggies and tasty meats. Vegetarian and gluten free options.

Tiena Bruner

My "go to" favorite for authentic gluten free Mexican. I love supporting a family owned business! Everything is always so fresh and the prices are amazing for the amount and quality of the food. I have Celiac's and have never had a problem here. My favorites are the shrimp and chicken taco platter and the cheese nachos. Thank you, Tortilleria Garcia! *Note: I have been fighting sinus junk for 2 weeks. Usually I just want soup but I had a craving for these specific nachos. There is something healing about simple food done right!

Jeff Demske (Colloidal)

Excellent location with great gluten friendly options.

Nicole Phillips

I did a doordash tonight and my boyfriend told them my son was allergic to certain things so they redid are order for us and made sure to write on there gluten free gloves was changed I really wish I could get ahold of them and tell them thank you for that most people doesn’t care but they do so thank you guys for redoing my sons food and making sure it didn’t get in contact with food he was allergic to
