Top 21 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Northeast Colorado Springs

We have been very fortunate to have Jennifer h. As our server. We don't frequent urban egg a lot . However the last 3 visits we have had our food served by Jennifer. She remembers my gluten allergy and my husband's spicy tastes. She is always helpful and patient even in a rush in the very busy morning . She is a bright spot in the midst of the noise of the cafe. She is an asset to.the restaurant and company. I gave a 3 for atmosphere due to the noise of customers which I understand is because the food is so delicious !

Dedicated waffle iron but the server said they offer gluten sensitive and not gf. I confirmed eggs are not cooked on shared service. I got the gf waffle with eggs etc. When served the waitress did not confirm it was GF nor was it marked with a stick or anything but as soon as I took a bite I knew it was GF. It had a cornbread flavor vs Belgium waffle taste but it wasn’t bad. I have celiac but I am not sensitive so I can’t be a good judge of cc. I’d recommend for gluten free but if you have celiac just be mindful of the cc risk and ask lots of questions.

I absolutely LOVE Santanas! A great menu, and they even have a gluten free only menu, so you don’t have to search through it! This was our second time here, and won’t be our last!

The employees are so great here! The main reason I eat here is because they have a good gluten free bun and delicious food all around. I switch between the burger and veggie burger. My family and I eat here often!

I am hoping the Owner finds this review. ATTN: If you are diagnosed with celiac disease or are sensitive with food allergies - avoid this restaurant. The kitchen staff is sloppy and careless. In all fairness, I am not sure what this restaurant is like when you dine-in. Once or twice per month, I order grilled shrimp tacos to-go when I’m on my home from north academy. One time, a piece of a plastic glove was underneath one of the tacos. The manager asked me to text her a picture of it. I was worried it was a condom, but she assured me it was a glove because it looked exactly like their brand of kitchen gloves. She refunded me and promised it wouldn’t happen again. Thankfully, it didn’t. I continued getting to-go orders with no issues. However, today, I ordered the same shrimp tacos with a side cup of queso. The queso looked normal, it always comes topped with jalapeños. I seen a chunk of something but figured it was a piece of jalapeno. As I kept eating, I realized it was not jalapeños, but instead, beef (or something else, no one knows). I’m not totally sure what it is, but it looks like uncooked beef. Immediately, I called the restaurant to inform them. I wanted to know if it was chorizo or beef, or something else, and if I should prepare to get sick because I did eat part the queso surrounding it. This is when they informed me that I did “not pay enough” for my to-go order. Baro, the bartender, told me the order was $22.09. I gave him $23.00. He said, “I will be right back with your change.” I replied, “no change, thank you!” When I spoke with management, Kiera, I was told I didn’t pay him enough. I’m like, what? Why would he tell me $22.09 then tell me that he’s going to get change? They recently changed their menu and no longer serve black beans or white rice (which I always ordered) so I didn’t know if the price changed. I didn’t even think to question it since he accepted my money, then offered to get change - the remaining 91 cents. It was beyond inappropriate and insulting considering I am sitting here in a state of panic over uncooked meat in my queso. The same state of panic I was in when I found a piece of plastic glove under my taco. Not to mention, I have stage one CKD and try to avoid meat. Avoid this restaurant if you have food allergies or are celiac because I can’t imagine any requests taken seriously in the kitchen. Management needs to take a course on customer service. UCCS is nearby, perhaps the Owner can pay for their class.

Pretty basic Italian food. There are some gluten free options but overall pretty "mid" as the kids would say. My daughter's meatballs were dry, I ordered the cod special and the fish was super fresh, the picata was good with fresh capers and not salty. The salmon is farmed but grateful the waitress was knowledgeable on the food.

The chicken done 3 ways is great. They also have good gluten free selections that are well marked on the menu.

Gluten free menu and I love the thunder down under flourless dessert! Most outback’s I’ve gone to, including this one, have had good gluten free training.

Overall, it was an ok experience. Service was pretty slow on Sunday and they weren’t that busy. Everything from drinks, appetizers to food was slow. Their menus prices are not accurate. Seems to be normal now, but a gluten free pizza was $27. Seems excessive. My wife had the California chicken sandwich and it appears they must get their chicken precooked (sous vide would be my guess) then heat it up some way. At least it tasted like it. For the price they should have a higher standard of service and food.

All of my friends know how much I love Del Taco anywhere I go when I’m traveling through the southwest! They are great at accommodating me with corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas because of my gluten free needs since I’m allergic to wheat
