Top 50 Gluten-Free Mexican Havens Across Texas

Newly diagnosed celiac here. Came for the "Real Cheeseburger" on a gluten free bun and it it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Will definitely return. The staff were knowledgeable and assured me my food would be celiac safe. When it arrived to the table, we were asked first where the gluten free burger went. The sodas were good and fries very delicious!

What a treat to have vegetarian and gluten free! The food was delicious! And the agua fresca was sweet and refreshing. There were so many yummy sounding choices it was hard to pick, I’ll have to come back.

Dawn Revell

We absolutely love this restaurant and eat there at least once a month. One of the big draws from me ore. Originally, choosing this restaurant was the delicious gluten-free menu. Any authentic food.

100% gluten free Mexican food in the heart of Austin! The food was delicious, and I legit wanted to eat the whole menu if I had an endless budget. You can’t go wrong with any item.

Good for people with celiac disease, awesome beef fajitas and dessert, never have got sick

Gluten Free waffles and golden tofu weekend brunch is incredible and so unique! Love everything I've tried. Over the years the service has been up and down, but the food is sooo good!!!

Maggie K

Great food! And really busy, make a reservation for indoor dining. Carnitas and mango margs were my favorite. All gf!

This was a WOW for me. We were just passing through and asked some locals for a breakfast cafe nearby. We were to Bluebonnet Cafe and Tea Thyme Cafe. Once they said they offered gluten-free options, I was sold. If a place offers gluten-free options, they are sure to offer lots of fruit and veggie options and be very careful with their menu. I’m so glad we chose this one. The staff was SO kind and patient. The omelette was THE BEST I’ve ever had, with so many veggies, real eggs, and mozzarella cheese. I’ve never had an omelette with mozzarella cheese before. They also had a side called “enchanted mushrooms” and it was so amazing in flavor. I wish we had this restaurant back home. I’d be there weekly!

Comedor in downtown Austin blew us away when we visited earlier this year! The modern Mexican cuisine is nothing short of a culinary adventure, with flavors that dance on your palate. As someone who's gluten-free, I was amazed to discover that the entire menu is gluten-free—this truly blew my mind! Chef Philip Speer's creativity shines through in every dish. The atmosphere is a beautiful blend of chic design and warmth, making it the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel truly special. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Comedor is the place to be!

Great place for Tex-Mex. Lots of gluten free options.

10/10 experience! The vibe is so good here - gives a Tulum aesthetic. The service was fantastic. And the food! Fresh, delicious, flavorful. I went with my family and they all loved it! This is a fantastic place for gluten free folks - no gluten in the kitchen!

Mr. Natural has been doing veg in Austin since 1988 and it was honestly refreshing to visit a vegetarian spot that harkened back to a time when the dining format was as unique in a veggie restaurant as it was to find one at all. Point being there is a little learning curve to dining at Mr. Natural in my opinion. You order at the counter, which is the same order spot for baked goods (which are in three different locations), take out, dine in, juice, grab n go or soft serve. So you need to know what you want (definitely preview the menu online) before you step up to the counter and what your objective is. The staff is very, very helpful and will explain the salad bar (which is a whole other thing) and the validated parking situation (which is another). If you get stuff to dine-in, staff will bring it out and call out your name. They will bring silverware but you are on your own to retrieve water (by the salad bar). The other interesting throwback I am more thankful for is the food. Almost everything is made in house and is not overly sweet or salty. In this day and age of frozen beyond burger restaurants I could not have been happier. The mole enchiladas were excellent and I bought waaaay too many baked goods to go. I did not realize beforehand that Mr. Natural had the widest and best selection of vegan baked goods in the Austin area with many gluten free options and beautiful custom cakes! This place will go in my regular rotation and I highly recommend it for a breakfast option. *dog friendly patio

I'm sad that Counter Culture is closing but grateful that I was able to enjoy it for so many years. This place was ahead of its time, offering vegan options before they were readily available at grocery stores, food trucks, etc. The cashew cheezecake is amazing, and I ordered several of them for my birthdays over the years. The gluten free mac'n cheeze is also out of this world. Thank you, Counter Culture, for showing us that we don't have to torture animals (or our own bodies) to enjoy our favorite comfort foods.

dedicated fryers, safety, great affordable food

Julie Gray

Gluten free options are delicious.

Kole Lutz

We waited 45min for party of 4 to actually be sat inside for walk-in even though requested outside seating. Had to ask for server to order food cause we may have been forgotten. Food was good although gluten tortillas debatable. Recommend if you can sit outside

Danielle Johnson

This is one of my favorite restaurants because of the gluten-free options. My order was slightly made wrong so I went back to get it corrected. Not only did they redo my burger they let me keep the other one and gave us free drinks! Julie was the shift-manager, thank you Julie!

Katie Winkelman

100% gluten free Mexican restaurant

Brianna Fries

Food was phenomenal. In our group we also had a person from Mexico and one from Colombia and they also raved about the food. We had the tacos, flautas, quesadilla and caesar and all were amazing (and gluten free!) We wound up accidentally leaving something at our table and the staff were so quick to message me via OpenTable, where we made the reservation, to let me know. Highly recommend!

I Palacios

Amazing food! I thought it was vegetarian and was so surprised to find out it was totally vegan and gluten-free! I truly didn’t miss anything. Packed with flavours and spices. Cute decor. Was a little hard to find but totally worth it. Great place. Highly recommend and we’ll be back.

Lauren Johnson

I love this place and that they use healthier ingredients in their pizza. They use organic wheat for their crust, usually I have to eat gluten free but I am able to eat their crust. They also use olive oil which is much healthier the than the cheaper synthetic oils many restaurants use. I love pesto and their vegetarian pesto pizza is amazing! I also really enjoy their tomato sauce when I get a regular veggie pizza and like to add pineapple to it. Their custom cheese blend is great too!

Kenneth Todd

Asked for a drink menu, and the waitress said, it's in the regular menu, with an attitude. Then left us waiting for 15 minutes. We clearly wanted to order a second drink, but she was not interested in giving us service. We loved that the menu was Gluten Free, but it wasn't worth the price. The drink we ordered was $20 each, which ended up being very nice. We would have ordered more drinks and desert, but it just didn't work out. The manager noticed our displeasure and sent our waitress over, in which the waitress responded by walking up and asking, 'did you need something?' She was not kind. We spent over $100 for an appetizer and one shared meal and 2 drinks total. Would have spent more, but not while being ignored and disrespected. From my perspective, the food was not worth the price.

Denise Mcrae

This place was amazing! Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful plentiful food. Especially the gluten free options and marked on the menu. Super sweet staff lady who helped us with my gluten allergy! And yummy food and dessert! Our favorite was the sweet pork queso!

Shannon Bedinger

My parents are investors and we are regulars. We were very disappointed to hear about the recent management change. The service was great tonight but sad the gluten free baked chips are gone and our shrimp were tiny. The meal took a long time to get and none of the management greeted us like they usually do. The music was so loud and there was hardly anyone there.

Melissa Isaacs

Queso was great. Many gluten free options. Hot, fresh, great Tex Mex. Patio dining was pleasant.

Julie Mai

Some the best places to eat around the Houston area "hole in the wall" type restaurants, this place is no exception! We ordered the Samosas, Shrimp Pakora, Chicken Vindaloo, Biryani, and Butter Lamb (butter chicken substitute). The owner (and chef!) is a great guy, and you can really tell the food is authentic. The food is so aromatic and flavourful, we basically inhaled it before I could get more pictures 😅 I would love to come back and explore the menu, especially the curry lamb tacos. There are vegan and gluten-free options as well. Don't let the construction on the roads deter you from giving this place a try!

Jun

really good sunday brunch buffet. a ton of gluten free options, including their super tasty cornbread!!

Becky Magnusson

Cafe de ollo was delicious! Great spot for brunch. Very attentive staff. Seating indoor and outdoor available. Paid parking was available in the lot next door for $10. Was able to handle dietary restrictions like vegetarian, vegan and gluten free.

Rachael Doyle

Stopped here while traveling for work and food was excellent! Friendly waiters and personable service. Don’t miss the barbacoa tacos. Great gluten free options!

Alexander Nagata

A long time Austin standard, Maudie's offers satisfying texmex with gluten friendly options. Going to the trouble of making the GF chips in safe fryers, they come in sealed plastic bags and are available upon request. Their breakfast tacos are loaded and delicious, but the enchilada plates are my favorite.

Mylah Hale

Amazing service and good atmosphere. Good options for gluten-free dietary restrictions.

Kindell Lopez

All was excellent!!! Most items on the menu are naturally gluten free. Delicious Mexican food and the service was professional.

Kathleen Gusloff

First time coming here. They have gluten free items marked on menu. Good amount of choices for gf people. Also had $4 margaritas.

Lily Brannon

Celiac friendly, they show exactly what is cross contaminated on the menu!

Hailey

Had the enchiladas, so good! They don't have flour tortillas, only corn. So lots of gluten free options! If you are a baby with spice, the salsa is spicy, lol. Drinks were good. We went on a Friday around 6pm and were able to be sat right away for two people.

Alley Rubadeau

I ordered the fries with the chicken which is listed as GF on the menu because I have a gluten allergy. They put some sort of beef on there and now I’m sick. No one is answering the phone so I can ask what they marinate their steak in that’s not gluten free. I’m trying to gauge how much gluten I got and how sick I’ll be tonight. Ugh such a bummer. Really wish restaurants would be more careful and just follow the order. How hard can it be?

Em M

Great staff, good gluten-free selection of food, and the staff will help with recommendations if you can't decide. Their drinks are delicious too, if you're old enough for the bar menu. Always fun to go and eat there.

T. Keefe

Our party had enchiladas and qesadillas, they were excellent. One of our party had a great gluten free entree. We will go here again

Leigh Gose

We love Muck and Fuss! The food is consistently great, service always top notch. We had Aspen taking care of us and she was so joyful, professional and got every detail of my Celiac requirements. A great experience with her!

Vishy raman

Good food, great service. Vegetarian, Vegan friendly and Gluten free options available. Plenty of out door seating. Nice ambience

timothy cleary

Great food, they have a gluten free menu

Ryan Kloosterman

Fantastic help from the staff both times I visited with gluten free options. Super tasty fajitas and nachos 🔥

Cara Beth Buie

I have Celiac Disease and was very impressed with how knowledgeable the staff was about gluten. Right when you walk in there is a gluten free sign in the lobby. There are gluten free items marked on the menu and the waiter recommended items as well. Definitely get the Bob’s Dip. You won’t regret it!

Mary Ecret

Loved the options and additions GF label of food when it was brought to the table so there was no mix up.

Danni Stewart

Amairani was absolutely fantastic! Her customer service was exceptional! When I expressed to her about my gluten-free allergy, she went way and beyond to make sure I wouldn’t get sick. She had great knowledge about the restaurant! I really appreciate the fact that she went way and beyond in her job for us! Because of her, we will be coming back more often! 💕

brendell25

I have a wheat allergy, and they have a gluten free menu. I got the grilled shrimp and it was very good! Also, I am NOT a fan of avacado, but they're avacado dip was amazing!

John Hoeglund

Great food with allergen friendly, gluten free, and vegan options. Something tasty for everyone.

Simran Frontain

The best tacos in Austin. The mashed potatoes (papas, as they call them) in tacos are a genius idea! I almost always get the breakfast tacos, but there is a huge selection of lunch offerings as well. They boast a large salsa selection and you can tell they put thought into their salsa offerings (rather than the one variety of salsa many places offer). Their queso is solid, but not a menu highlight. If you have dietary restrictions like vegetarian or gluten free (or both like I do!), this is a great place to go, because there are so many choices; it is also a great place to go with friends as there is something for everyone. The one downside is that the tacos are small, especially for corn tortillas, which means you have to buy one extra than you would normally buy at other places (which is not a problem necessarily, but just something to bear in mind when ordering).

Teri Kielow

They advertise gluten-free however when you arrive their chips are not gluten-free anything that is fried is fried in the same fryer so cross contamination is an issue. The manager did offer to fire up the a clean fryer which was very kind . If you are going advertise GF then you should have it available

Lady S

They have an entire vegan menu and gluten-free menu! I had the Enchiladas de Verduras (veggie filling) and it was delish. If you’re plant-based, vegan, nutrition-forward or whole food plant based, Gueros is a great option. Perfect location in an active part of town, great service, delicious food.
