Top 26 Gluten-Free Mexican Spots to Discover in South Dakota

Kevin Haug

Quiet downtown Mexican restaurant. Almost everything can be made gluten-free, and they are very celiac aware! My wife had the pork carnitas which were among the best Mexican dishes she has ever had. The Bison tacos (made with flank steak! ) were equally amazing! Our server was awesome and super helpful. The place is pretty small, with just a few tables, and we lucked out getting there before the dinner rush. Reservations are highly recommended.

Food was great. Server was nice and good. Did forget our appetizer but apologized and brought it out with our meal. Very friendly. Hey had a gluten free menu with details on things like what has utilization of common fryers. Their gluten free chips are not used in a common fryer. Had no reactions. And will return next time we are in town.

This place was excellent! Great service and delicious food. Lots of Gluten-freed vegan and dairy-free options, they were also able to accommodate for that as well. The atmosphere is great, cute decors and feel very comfortable. The chips and salsa was tasty! Also had the shrimp and mahi-mahi apps, and that was really good. Overall, highly recommend stop!

DO NOT EAT HERE. If I could give zero stars, I would. The menus, tables and booth were filthy, sticky and chunks of left over food. The server was the opposite of friendly, I would even go as far to say she was rude. I told her 3-4 times that I had severe food allergies and what they were exactly. She brought guacamole WITH tortilla strips mixed in (gluten & corn allergy) and when we spoke to her about it, she said it isn’t corn tortillas (also have a corn allergy), she was very rude. She said I could order a cheese quesadilla, I reminded her a 4th time that I’m allergic to dairy. She said okay, chicken quesadilla, I said I cannot have that because the chicken is pre-seasoned and tortillas are corn or gluten. She was very snotty and stomped away from our table. Everything is premade and pre-seasoned so they can’t accommodate allergies, nor do they even try. Will NOT ever go back or recommend this restaurant to anyone. We left immediately and went to a different Mexican restaurant near the mall, and they were wonderful! The server was very accommodating and kind.

Authentic Mexican restaurant on the main drag of 41st. Great food and huge portions! Their salsa is excellent. The atmosphere is ok, but not boujie by any means. If you need gluten free, make sure to ask for your enchiladas to be in corn tortillas. They do not have the best drinks, so if you want a really good margarita, not the place to go.

Courtney Dixon

The food is so delicious! I loved that there are so many fresh options and lots of gluten free choices as well.

Ann Yearout

Gluten free options available. Great food and great service!

Good food. Beware their Tacos come on wheat tortillas for those with gluten allergies. Their service can be slow depending on the night, but over all a good place to gather with friends.

The staff is always friendly and the food is good. The whole family can eat here and not complain. I love that everything buy the tortillas and chips are gluten free. So many options.

Ash Petersen

I’m kicking myself for not eating here sooner. Our meal was absolutely delicious, and it was easy to find a gluten free option for myself on the menu. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Our server was wonderful, and if she was busy with another table the other staff were great about topping off our drinks and chips. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful new taco shop in Sioux Falls, moved to the area around 2 years ago and have tried to find a good taco spot all over town and I have not found ANYTHING that is this good! We got 3 tacos and a cheese quesadilla 2 were chicken and one was steak. The tortillas are all made fresh right in from of you and are all gluten free! You can customize you food how ever you want it so for my wife and I it was perfect as she wanted everything and I’m a really pickey eater. The food came out amazing and you can tell everything was so fresh, and the staff is so friendly and wonderful. If you are in the mood for anything taco or Mexican related look no further and please stop here, you won’t regret it!

Good service, good food Gluten-free options

Jesse Olson

This place has the best corn tortillas that I’ve ever had in my entire life! Try the corn tacos & you can’t go wrong! Red Salsa & tortilla chips were great too! The waitress, Leslie, was a pro! She didn’t baulk at my gluten free questions for a second! She was terrific! If I’m in Custer again, this is a no-Brainer decision! Maria’s Mexican all the way!

Leif Norman

Very tasty spicy beef enchiladas that came with an enormous side of home made salsa. Groovy decor in a small cozy space. Gluten free options are Nachos.

My husband and I had dinner with friends here when we were back for Christmas break. I was so impressed with the quality of food! I am gluten & dairy free and was able to get a delicious meal. Their vegan cheese is delicious! I see why this restaurant is so popular among our friends! Be prepared to wait for a table, but in my opinion it is worth the wait!

Miranda wilson

Great margaritas, corn cake and enchilada. Wish I could have the fajitas, but they are not gluten free

Susan Cselovszky

EXCELLENT food!!! I think this is the best Mexican food we have ever had! Chili Relleno is gluten free and authentic! A gem in the Midwest! Margaritas from scratch and priced so reasonably, two for the price of one!!! Our new date night restaurant!

John Wickert

Outstanding service, great food and by far one of the best Mexican restaurants to open in south east South Dakota. I am Celiac and need a Gluten Free diet, the menu clearly indicates GF dishes. If you request they will make adjustments to the meals. Go and enjoy, we will keep this hideout on our A-List. Dell Rapids is a very short drive for this quality of food.

Jon

This food is delicious. Gluten free and vegetarian options are easy to get as well as meat.

Lori Warren-Blechinger

I love Taco Bell. I like the Crunchy Taco Supremes and I like the Pintos and Cheese alot. I am gluten free and I have never had a single issue with TB. The food is great, the service has been good and it's a great choice when I don't wanna cook.

Gavin Wigg

Just GREAT. We have Celiac Disease needs (gluten free) and they always do it right. Thanks for years of great Mexican food!!

Wilde Prairie Winery

Love the food. They can make things gluten free.

Catherine Strickland

If you are traveling with anyone who has severe food allergies, please do yourself a favor and stop in here! We were delighted and relieved to find this very good restaurant. The staff and at least one of the owners were very accommodating, listened and assured us that our order for our three year old who has severe dairy, but, egg, and wheat/gluten allergies would be safe. Not only was he safe, we all enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Thank you El Columpia!!! It's hard to find such a gem on the road and those dealing with food allergies know- but even if you just want a fun, delicious, affordable, special treat you should consider El Columpia. We sure are glad we did - oh, and spoiler alert, they have swings IN the restaurant- they are for adults but you know anyone who is creative and fun enough to think of that in their design will be creative and fun with food as well. Bon appetite!
