100% Gluten Free. Great find and good food. Large corn tortillas to make burritos and quesadillas. Churros were delicious and could not tell they were GF.

This place has some positives, but my experience overall was disappointing. The atmosphere was nice, with a spacious bar area and a great beer selection that supports local breweries, which I really appreciated. However, the food and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The French dip was a letdown – dry, with an odd choice of American cheese instead of the usual provolone or Swiss, and while mushrooms were included, which I know some places do, they’re not my preference. Overall, the sandwich just wasn’t good. The potato skins were also subpar, barely a 2 out of 5. On the other hand, the mac and cheese was pretty good, and my kid enjoyed it. There were some cleanliness issues. I found a small fleck of lint or hair on my cup, and I noticed the bartender using her bare hands to pick a lemon seed off the side of a glass while making water for another guest. These details were off-putting and made me feel a bit skeeved. While they do offer gluten-free options and a great beer selection, the food quality, service, and overall experience weren’t quite worth the price.

After several poor attempts at gluten free eats, we finally made it to Whiskey Kitchen. First of all a Celiac heaven. I had crab cakes, which were amazing, fries (they have a dedicated fryer) and slaw. My fiance is from the DMV and had the crab cakes as well. He said they were true crab cakes and the best he’s had in a long time. We didn’t get dessert because our meals were huge. If you have Celiac or gluten intolerance, this is the best place in Virginia Beach.

Love us some Bartaco! Wonderful attentive staff, great drinks, and great food. Had their roasted duck and sesame ribeye taco's for lunch. Loved it so much I went back for dinner; got chicken tortilla soup, and the pork belly and roasted duck tacos. Best damn taco's outside of Texas... Oh, and the reposado margarita's are frickin' awesome. Yes, they have strict gluten-free options as well, one of our guests has celiac disease so that is a big concern.

The tacos were delicious and the service was good. The menu had clear gluten free options and a lot of them too. The tacos are more expensive than average, around $5 each, but worth it because of how tasty they are. I would recommend this place.

This has been our family spot for years when we come for family vacation. It’s 9 times out of 10 a great experience. Some good things. They have great gluten free options. Their orange crushes are the best. And the prices are deff reasonable. Some not so good things. Caution if you sit outside when there is live music, you can’t hear each other talk and will have to yell. Some of their dishes lack flavor. Their peel and eat shrimp are almost inedible due to not being deveined and hard to clean out yourself.

Many gluten free options. Did not get sick for celiac.

Jules Shepard

Nearly everything on the menu — including the chips — is gluten-free! Their new printed menu doesn’t show GF menu items though, strangely. The waiters were confused that nothing was labeled and had to go back to consult with the old menu. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Session is an experience! If you, or your friends, are looking for vegan or gluten free options- but there are still some in your group that enjoy a traditional bacon and eggs breakfast- look no further. Session is the best of both worlds- coming together- holding hands and doing its own thing! With this being our second time there; we were just as impressed as we were with our first visit. Having a pet friendly patio allows your lil fur babies to come along for some fun. There "in da club" sandwhich is fresh, delicious, and will have you licking your plate clean. The fritata- a beautiful blend of mushroom, dill, and egg with a bed of fresh greens- was fluffy and packed with flavor. The "your dad's go to" was a mix of 2 eggs however you want them, bacon or sausage, hashbrown or root vegetables hash, with a side of greens served with toast, butter, and jam. Once again, Session delivered and surpassed expectations. Service was a 10/10, food was 10/10, and we will most certainly be back in the future for round #3! Keep up the great work and thank you for taking the time to read this review.

A little loud, but phenomenal spot. Tons of gluten free options. Fast service and extremely affordable. The app to order makes splitting checks way less awkward. I recommend if you are ordering for you and your partner, sit next to them if you are in a group. It makes it way easier to know what’s yours.

Dylan Paul

It was tasty! It was safe for Celiac's and the staff treated you like real family. I would highly recommend it.

Amy Hammond

Super amazing tacos! Like many taco places, gluten free options were great. Almost everything could be gluten free on a corn tortilla. We got a mix of all the tacos and every one of them was great. Outdoor seating which in some seasons means tons of bug, but it wasn't bad for us in September. At first we felt guilty getting tacos in a coastal area (cause it's not seafood) but we think it's the best place we ate while on the Shore.

Jen G

There are so many good things to eat here, and they are excellent about indicating gluten free items on the menu. Excellent service and we love the patio almost year-round. Favorites: any tamales on the specials menu, both mocktails, their ceviches, and the birria tacos (maybe my favorite birria in Richmond). The tostados de pescado are the only thing I've ever disliked there. Much saltier than necessary.

Susan Cline

Recently diagnosed with Celiacs Disease. This wonderful restaurant offers many GF options. I absolutely loved the Nopales tacos! Well done Chef's. I'll be back soon.

Molly Cooke

Mediterranean cafeteria Delightful service and good casual dining, food is solid, tasty and satisfying. The menu is a little bit unique, in a good way. Lots of healthy options! Gluten and vegetarian sensitive.

Megan Finch

We have ordered so many times and everything has been perfect…this time: not so much. I noted that I have a gluten allergy (like I always do), and one of my tacos was put on a pita (this has never happened before). I called because we got our order thru Uber Eats, and instead of helping me I was put on hold for 20 minutes and then hung up on. Not acceptable.

Melanie Medina

Deliciously simple and fresh, free yummy coffee, and gluten free options. What more can I ask for? Great staff, talk to them and see how kind they are. The music could be a little lower but I was there early at opening so the place was empty. I had the breakfast taco with an egg and chorizo. Orders for later include tacos de carnitas and carne asada. I didn't get to try them cuz my son gobbled them up. I also order nachos, and asked to give me the wet ingredients separate to reheat later. Reheated the nachos and added the ingredients. ¡Muá! ¡Riquísimo,!

Brian Chase (orcacherman)

Great menu options for vegetarian and gluten free. Easy to order over the phone and fast service.

Terri

Absolutely yummy tacos!! I had the carnitas taco and the squash taco. Yum!!! Can't comment on the chips as they were not gluten free and I have Celiac disease. Lots of wonderful choices and will definitely be back.

KC Ellson

Really good tacos and very accommodating for gluten allergies.

Alexis Jones

We enjoyed a great meal on the patio. Food is ready super fast and is so fresh and good. Easily customize for food allergies including dairy and gluten free. The brisket is amazing… we’ll be back!

Haydan Mitton

Gabe was the best!!! I have celiac and he was super careful with my food. 10/10 for Gabe!

Leslie Hope Butenschoen

Great food! Even with technical difficulties leading to no corn tortillas or eggs, everything else is still fantastic! I had the taco bowl with chicken, bacon, rice, beans and sour cream. Yum!! In fact, only thing that has gluten are the flour tortillas.

Caleb Stewart

Ever since they opened, Chicano Boy has been one of the best restaurants in downtown Staunton and arguably the best Mexican restaurant in the Shenandoah Valley. I would recommend a particular dish, but every meal I've gotten here has been great. In addition to the food itself, their salsas are fantastic. And they're also great for people with allergies to gluten and dairy. Seriously can't recommend this place enough.

Joyce Drakeford

Fun atmosphere! Definitely underestimated this place. Food was delicious. Great friendly service! Mexican coke for the win!!! Gluten free.

Megan Froggatt

Our waitress Amanda was amazing! My mom and I are both gluten free and they are extremely accommodating and the enchiladas were incredible!

Rob Wilcox

Food was great and they have Gluten free options. The staff was a big help and the drinks were cold.

Kanisha Kelly

Stephen Cunningham

Amazing food. The chips are gluten free, crispy and delicious. The drinks are great tasting. Love coming here. Also the kids build your own tacos are crazy!

Lidia Komondy

Food and service are incredible. I got the elotes and birria tacos, they were all FANTASTIC! Highly recommend you check them out if you're in the area. (They have plenty of gluten free options)

Teresa Munoz

I love this place and come here for comfort tacos on rough days. They have gluten free and vegan options and substitute for me when things are too spicy for my baby mouth. We had a group of 6 and everyone was very happy.

Toni Pearson

I appreciate most of the food items being gluten free. And the young man was really nice about changing his gloves when I asked. But didn't know or didn't follow protocol when handling allergy requests. I have to say this Chipotle was so much nicer then the one at Tanglewood. Tanglewood starts closing up as early as 2 hours before they close.

Jessica

The ambiance here is very nice, food is great, and they have gluten free options.

Anita Swiman

I have to be gluten free and the Irish Nachos with house made potato chips were amazing! Also really great service especially since it was Christmas Eve.

mercy robertson

Great quick dinner. Many gluten free options

Connelly Cox

I have celiac disease and this is my go to chipotle in Stafford the staff is very knowledgeable about allergies and even if they have new staff the managers always make sure they get stuff from the back I have ate here 20+ times and have not been cross contaminated. The staff has no problem getting stuff from the back and making sure I don’t get sick they even put mine in a separate bag if it’s more than just one bowl.

David Richardson

First time visiting Leesburg as a Celiac and I can't wait to return. The restaurant had great options for someone with dietary restrictions like me. The staff was knowledgeable and although the menu wasn't marked, they were able to guide me in making safe choices. I haven't had Mexican food in years due to my condition, but this place had plenty of options that didn't make me sick. As someone who struggles with cross contamination, it was a real treat to find a town with restaurants that cater to my needs.

Joseph Herche

I had a great first experience here. They have a vast menu and all the food was so delicious! I know this place can get packed fast, but it seems the staff is quick and mindful of all aspects of customer service. I enjoy the environment as well. I would highly recommend to anyone! Lage party or small. The staff is very engaging. They have gluten free options for various dishes. It seems they hand make some of their own salsas and guacamole. I got the gluten free steak fajitas!

Madison Manuel

Love this restaurant!!! Excellent food and margaritas. Sit on the rooftop! Bryan was such an amazing server with a lively energy!! I have a gluten allergy and he checked everything with the kitchen staff, even when the food was put down and made me feel assured that it was safe to eat. Such a great atmosphere and cannot wait to come back for brunch!

Susan Owen

I would not order the gluten-free tacos. The corn tortillas taste like cardboard. The salsa/chips appetizer was good.

Slate Kleinsmith

Amazing enchiladas de mole pablano, great gluten free (gf) options, and fast personable service, love this place!

Abby Bain

Food is good and a lot of vegetarian and gluten free options. Just don’t come here for the service. They are slow (30 minute wait for soup and tacos…and it wasn’t very busy), the girl taking orders doesn’t know how to talk to people and made ordering really awkward, and they made a mistake on my food.

Erin Kirby

Gluten free food was well marked and amazing!! I ordered chilaquilles which was not on the menu. Dang! It was all so good!! Ginger lime margaritas were the bomb!!

Jason H

Great fast food. And even some good gluten free options.

Tonya Mc

Steven Wells

The gluten-free salmon morelos tasted great and a very decent portion, the grill steak chimichanga is also very satisfying 😋

Sharon Adams

Jeremy Hutchins

Food was good. I enjoyed both the taste and delivery of the "gasolina" margarita. Staff was very friendly. The one thing that could have been improved was that there seemed to be some kind of communication breakdown - we have a few food allergies (gluten/dairy) between some of the members of our party and asked for a few things on the side. Only one of them actually ended up on the side and one of the orders strangely came out with a wheat tortilla instead of the corn it was supposed to. They replaced the problem items for us, but there were lots of issues, so folks with allergies should be very careful.

julie

We’ve eaten here twice. Delicious both times! And, the waiter understand cross-contamination and answered my questions instantly when I asked about gluten-free options.
