Top 28 Gluten-Free Mexican Havens to Explore in Tennessee

Roark Perry

Ok, great place, and they do a great job of gluten-free. My wife has celiac and no issues. We each had a few tacos and some chips and salsa. I will say, i was not a fan of the chips.

Annie Myers

THE BEST CORN TORTILLA I’VE HAD IN MY LIFE. Didn’t break or fall apart, delicious flavor. Got the jalapeño pineapple marg and the carne asada street tacos at the recommendation of our server, who was so accommodating with my gluten allergy.

Robin LEE

Knowledgeable about celiac. Separate grill for GF and non GF. Almost all items can be made GF.

Manuel Ramos

I wanted to get up & play the Banjo,,, & I don't even know how to play. The food is sooooo delicious & the pastries are amazing 👏. Gluten free options galore. Wish this place was closer to home.

William Edmonds

Outstanding tacos! This location is the best. Great selection of options and gluten-free friendly.

Shea

Apparently on Saturdays from 3 to 4 they don't actually serve food. They have a "snacky hour" where you can order alcohol and three snack items. We went out of our way to come here because they were entirely gluten free, even calling ahead, only to be met with, after they started putting a table together, "oh yeah, you can't eat any food here for an hour."

The Girls Next Door

Delicious smoothies and baked goods, especially if you are gluten free! The best in Chatt!!

Heather Linn

Absolutely delicious and gluten free! Everything is clearly marked and staff is knowledgeable about food allergy protocol. This has become a new favorite!

Jade Novak

I had the pollo con mole, with sweet potato fries and a chopped salad. I enjoyed the colorful, tiny-chopped salad with jicama. And the rotisserie-cooked chicken was delicious with a rich and flavorful mole that had just the right amount of kick. The fries were crisp and well-seasoned. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about gluten-free options, and the interior was well designed. A very nice lunch experience overall!

Lauren Van Beek

Tacos are delicious and our server Ary was extremely helpful! They always handle my gluten allergy well.

Heather Dennis

Went there and my daughter loves it and had no reactions. She had fish taco which was made with rice flour and fired separate than the churros.

Lady McBabs

Great job of being a safe place for Celiacs. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great vibe, and good food. Nachos are super yummy!

Katelyn Leuck

Our service Katelyn was amazing. Knowledgeable about cross contamination for someone with a gluten allergy.

melissa leppert

Great food. Able to accommodate gluten free (Celiac) and dairy free.

Paige Gibeaut

So yummy and since it was Thursday service was fast. Gluten free and dairy free.

jmoss2543

Food is always good at First watch. Good gluten free options as well.

Candy Kuhl

Excellent and prompt service. The quality of the food was also impressive. When I informed them about my gluten allergy (celiacs), they were very attentive and took precautions to avoid cross contamination. They changed gloves and used separate ingredients from different containers. I truly appreciate the effort they put into preparing my food. Thank you!

Omar Zaman

Great place You can request a gluten free selection.

Blanca M Kalkach

<3 This is the best Mexican Restaurant in Tennessee. Everything tastes legit Mexican. Most things in the menu are gluten-free. Ambiance is good (dim lighting, not loud music). Perfect for a date night. Service was great! The chef is from Acapulco and came out of the kitchen to personally ask about our experience. Avocado salsa and all ingredients were fresh. LOVED IT! ~ GF

James Patton

This place is underrated and a hidden gem. The cowboy arepa was excellent, meat was perfect, flavor was phenomenal, and unlike some arepas I’ve had in the past, this one was not too greasy My wife got the empanada plate and absolutely loved it; they can also accommodate gluten free/celiac We will for sure be back here!

Ann Yearout

Great place! Gluten free options available

Taylor Ray

I love this place, very quick. Even when there's a line. Good clean ingredients. I am sensitive to dairy and gluten and am able to eat here without feeling any consequences. Delicious good clean food when I don't feel like preparing dinner. And the staff is always so sweet.

Christine Pauly

Love this place! We all struggle not to overeat here. All the tacos are delicious. I have a gluten allergy. They are quick to accommodate me and I've never gotten sick.

Jamie Schott

Local chain who is here to make changes through out the world! The staff was accommodating with our gluten-free diet, many choices! You buy a meal, they provide a meal for people in need. Makes me feel good that my money is helping feed someone else too

Mika Stockwell

Food was absolutely fantastic! AND pretty much everything was Gluten Free! They just stole 100% of my business from Salsaritas and Chipotle for sure! Best food!

Jill

Stopped here for lunch. I asked about corn tortillas. My waitress asked if it was for gluten free. Explained the could do anything with a corn tortilla. The Mexican rice would be cross contaminated as well as anything fried. She offered a double portion of beans. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Nana's kitchen

We love a place that sends homemade garlic rolls to the table when they come for the first greeting. True hospitality!!! Amazing selection of entrees including gourmet Hamburgers, Pizza, Salads and Pasta Dishes on the menu. They advertise fresh Angus beef, so we ordered the Marco Burger which has two patty's on the burger... cooked exactly as we told our waiter. Fresh lettuce, tomato, onions and a house sauce is standard on the Marco Burger... Very good, lots of flavor and juicy too. We are always interested in Gluten free or Gluten sensitive menu options...so we requested the gluten free bun and we were not disappointed. Their French fries were yummy; they appeared to be freshly prepared with some skin on and fried crispy brown and seasoned with coarse seasoned salt-❣️ On the second burger ....we ordered the G.O.A.T. burger...amazing flavors. Words cannot describe it so go try it for yourself and get back to me. 😂. Atmosphere was nice, fun with lots of windows and outside light with a patio dining option too... and lots of booths and tables/chairs...nice clean dining room and restrooms. Staff and waiters/ waitresses were professional and knowledgeable. Lots of Free Parking! Fair prices top it off ... good value 12-15 dollars per person for exciting burger and a large serving of fries. Drinks are extra. Waiter checked in on us often with refills on drinks and asked to us if we wanted drinks to go...nice touch! We will visit Don Marcos each and Everytime we come to visit this area. Good job!

Shanda H Simpson

I went to eat with a few friends last night and we had the best time! Our server, Nain, was the best! He was so friendly and helpful, he really made our whole trip so much fun. I also have Celiac Disease, so I have to eat a very strict gluten free diet, and he immediately asked if there were any food allergies, explained the whole kitchen process, and checked with his manager about every item I ordered. The restaurant handled my food very well and I didn't feel sick after eating! It's so nice to have another place I can safely go.

I really appreciate that they have some gluten free and seemingly healthier options! However, shrinkflation is outrageous and I don’t think I’ll be eating here anymore. Today, you get one mini taco, hardly filled, with two tortillas, at the price that hasn’t changed since 2-3 years ago. And back then, you got two overfilled tacos with 4 tortillas for the same exact price they are now. It really doesn’t need to be this way and the people are over it!

Samuel Mangin

We got a massive to go order from this place, everything was delicious. Queso rice was especially good. Great option for gluten free and gluten loving people.

Lauren Klipp

Besides the food and margaritas being absolutely amazing, we were in awe of the amazing staff. Our server Jeff was beyond kind, explained the menu to us, helped us with gluten free and nut free options, and had fun with us! Overall experience was 10/10 and will absolutely be going back. If you have a 6+ people the shareable meal option was more than enough food and delicious.

Nour Hantouli

Went here this evening with a friend visiting from out of town, and it was the perfect dinner. The atmosphere was subdued and comfortable – I’m autistic and have a hard time dining out because so many places are echoey and play loud music. This was very refreshing. The person who served the tableside guacamole was so welcoming and friendly without being intrusive, which is a hard balance – I waited tables and bartended for ten years, I get it – and even that small interaction was so pleasant. The same goes for our server, Grace, who was also incredibly helpful and patient with recommendations (which I’m so glad I listened to – the lamb sliders were out of this world), very attentive, and just super cool. My margarita was excellent (and I’m kind of a snob about those) and my friend had nothing but compliments for their mocktail. I love that they put so much care into non-alcoholic options. Also, my friend is gluten intolerant and there were SO many good GF options. We shared the perfect appetizer with zero effort or pressure to compromise. It’s great to be in a place where people with dietary restrictions don’t have to feel like they’re making a scene, but we can just enjoy a good meal together. Thanks for a great evening and the 11/10 service. I’ll definitely be back, and I might even try another dish, but seriously, idk how I will, because, again, those sliders… Whew.

Bryan Lewis

A favorite of both kids and parents. Delicious tacos! Great appetizers. Outdoor seating area is kept clean. Great for celiacs who need gluten free options!!!

Trevor Knight

Best queso in Nashville and excellent service! Took allergies seriously - they fry their chips in a separate fryer. As anyone with celiac in town knows, that’s very rare and much appreciated. Staff was warm and knowledgeable. We will be back often!

Destiny Danas

Came here because it was the only other place that had Gluten Free items besides a pizza joint. I ordered the Gf enchilada plate and it was great, I did not get sick! The food also came out very fast. I believe you have to order it Gf because I was served black beans instead of the normal pinto refried beans. Beware of the tortilla chips, the waiter told me that they are fried with other items.

Tabitha Williamson

Gluten free and clean meats! Vegetarian options too!

Tess Ricci

We loved our lunch here! Tons of gluten free options (most of the menu), and the food was delicious! We tried the spicy chicken, and it was lovely! This is much better than Chipotle! Will definitely be back!

Laura Arner

Good gluten free options

Brynna Hower

Kiara E was our server and she was amazing! I’m gluten free (celiac) and when I mentioned this to Kiara, she told me she’s gluten free as well and gave me tons of recommendations and put my mind at ease when ordering. And the food was seriously perfect.

Julie Douville

Love this place and the owner is so sweet! You will not go wrong with any meal here. All plant based and mostly all gluten free. 🥰

Deborah Blanchard

Babalu East Memphis is not as loud as a Babalu Midtown, but it's still a little loud for a lot of conversation. However, the food is so good (and there are a lot of choices for us celiacs) that I go anyway, when I get a chance. I had a great glass of red sangria (made on site) and my companion had a yummy looking drink, but I forgot what it was. The service was good, and I especially enjoyed the new server who made the guacamole table side. Can't wait to go back!

Ronda Newcomer

Laura Smith

Fast dinner as I was passing through town. They worked with me to make quesadillas gluten-free. The server was amazing and the food was good and fast! Exactly what I needed! Definitely would go back.

Cristi Carper

Amazing!!!!!! I have Celiac Disease and have to eat gluten free. They were awesome about it!!! Extremely helpful! Went above and beyond!

Amber Hale

This is the best Mexican food I've had since leaving the west. I was so pleasantly surprised by this spot! I had the chicken tinga sopes (they were incredible) and my husband had had a burrito. I have a gluten allergy and our server assured us that the kitchen takes great care. I did not have a reaction. Our server was fantastic too, I wish I could remember his name to give him a shout out. All around great experience. When we are in Chattanooga again, we will definitely be stopping here!

Amy St. Clair

Our server Kay was awesome and the food was delicious. We had a vegetarian person and dedicated gluten free person and both were accommodated well. We will definitely be back.

Meghan Norris

This booth in the farmer’s market is excellent. They have a wide selection of food to choose from for gluten-free vegans. Their potato tacos are excellent. Don’t knock it til you try potato tacos. The esquites are a delicious snack that are 100% vegan! They served the food quickly and it’s hard to beat the atmosphere of the Nashville’s Farmer Market.

Danielle Carr

The first time I ate at Oscar's was in Nov of 2022. I was visiting My Juliet with my husband and we found it accidentally while doing a U-turn. We were hungry and kind of lost. It was the best lunch we had that entire visit. The tacos are flavorful with many choices of ingredients. They made sure they were gluten free but they tasted so good we had to ask to be sure! When visiting a friend with my daughter in April I was glad for another opportunity to grab some tacos. We had a variety and all of them were great.
