Top 23 Gluten-Free Taco Spots Across Hawaii

Ashley Byrne

Such good huge tacos! My husband and I got 3 and shared them and it was the perfect amount.

First the bad: We had a server who was new and when I asked if the fries were in a shared fryer, she got flustered and confused and she said, “Usually people who are gluten free know what they can and cannot eat.” It was pretty bad and I almost requested someone new, but later the manager came out to help us and talk us through the menu. Now the good: Good tacos. Shrimp and grits was excellent. They were out of GF buns so didn’t get to try the burger.

Best fish tacos ever! We ate here multiple times on our trip! Highly recommend!

The other Paia fish market on the island is far superior in taste, quality, and service. This paia however was really bad. We found hair in our food, our order was incorrect THREE TIMES. They did not take our food allergy concerns seriously when we returned the food back. The lady taking orders obviously hates her job. Service was very slow. Management needs to step up at this location & take things seriously. But we still love fish Paia, just not this location. Rice was not cooked properly or flavorful. Fish was cooked perfectly though. We hope this review is seen and taken seriously as we are repeat customers and love to support local businesses that offer gluten free and dairy free options.

Had a very pleasant experience having dinner here. Our waitress was so sweet, and the lake view from the back patio was gorgeous. The food was amazing and affordable compared to other places in the area. Situated near cute shops. Plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options available as well. We got the sourdough grilled cheese with tomato bisque, chicken and rib meal, and the chocolate torte. The fresh vegetables side was so good. Highly recommend:)

Lots of gluten free options!

My partner and I live on Oahu but we come to the Big Island specifically for coffee and a couple amazing restaurants. This is one of those amazing restaurants that we love so much. We came for the weekend and have gone every day. The food is amazing, we are vegetarian not vegan and typically I don’t like non dairy alternatives but I truly can’t tell that this food is vegan. The Mac and cheese was amazing and the ice cream is so creamy and delicious. The wraps, pancakes, and tacos are also our favorites. My partner is also gluten free and they make incredible gluten free options for every menu item. The service is also amazing, staff are very friendly and keep the place very clean. My partner forgot to order her pancakes gluten free and the lovely lady at the register offered to fix it for no extra cost. I highly recommend you make some time to visit Journey, it is so worth it!

Best local organic foods in Hilo. Lots of options for Vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. The people are down to earth and kind. If you eat meat, they are very conscious about where they get the meat. The best Kombucha I have ever had. From the homemade cultured hot sauce to the gluten free dairy free brownies and banana splits, they do it right. Weds night they have Kava, open mic and pizza made with ancient grain organic flour. Owners are also very cool. 😎

By far the best gluten free burger I have had in my entire life. I've been celiac for 7 years and I'm always been in the search for a burger that is unrecognizable from gluten burger--and the Kevin burger is it. The meat is local and grass fed and finished, the toppings are all locally procured and that quality comes through. Highly recommend for any celiac or gluten free people or anyone that appreciates a burger with quality ingredients.

Ashley Hale

We ate here twice last week. The waiters were kind and seemed relatively well trained on celiac needs. My daughter had the fish tacos and then tried a bunless burger with a side sub (fries are cross contaminated). Felt good after both meals!

Hailey

Fish tacos were good! They had corn tortillas for us gluten free people.

Paul T

Wife has celiac and eaten many times. Make sure to tell them an allergy and they will change gloves and take special precautions even when they are busy!

Nanette Gefreh

Wonderful choices for gluten-free. My family each ordered something different, and we were all delighted with our meal!

Samantha Holloway

As someone with gluten and dairy intolerance they were very professional, knowledgeable, and took the issue seriously. The menu is clearly marked with gluten free items and you can ask about dairy free. I had the short rib with kimchi fried rice and vegetables which was very tasty. The frozen drinks are dairy free. Mahalo to our server Limar! If you are GF and DF your best options are the 12 oz ribeye with rice instead of mashed potatoes or the short ribs with kimchi fried rice and vegetables. The fryer is not GF. The staff is very attentive and friendly. There was recorded music playing lightly that was pleasant and relaxing.

Amanda Venturino

We went to the restaurant location for dinner. It was SOOOO good! The fish tacos with the mango sauce were sooo good! We even tried the venison tacos too and they were also really good! It was flavorful and delicious and perfection! Make sure you get the tortilla with the cheese! it's about $20 for 3 tacos and a drink. Gluten free since the shells are corn tortillas!

Bahr Bros

Service was excellent "Kiwi" waiter excelled Food tasted great fish and chips The mai tais were watery and not that good for my taste, so drink beer Don't go here for gluten-free because there is nothing available but a real bad tasting dessert at lunchtime

Maya Rigby

(the line is worth it!) Very very good food, I got the blackened Mahi Mahi plate. The rice, potatoes, and coleslaw went well with the fish!! The fries weren’t the best, just kinda standard, so I def recommend getting the rice and potatoes instead. Basically everything on the menu that isn’t fried or in a sandwich is celiac-friendly. My fiancé with celiac got the chicken plate with rice and potatoes and he didn’t have any cross-contamination sickness afterwards! Yay

Ross Mason

Not the best experience for a celiac. Some gluten free items - but no dedicated fryer.

Sionnain McNally

wonderful little restaurant with amazing ocean views. wonderful gluten free (sensitive) pancakes. Large portions and very friendly staff. Will definitely be going back there for breakfast.

Kiya Dentz

Absolutely delicious, amazing & friendly service, incredibly knowledgeable about gluten allergies, love and will be back!

Gregory Anderson

Excellent tacos, even by Texas standards. Offers gluten free options and had knowledge in the subject to instill confidence. Highly recommend.

Island Taco is the perfect lunch spot en route to Waimea Canyon. Located on the south side of Kauai, about 30 minutes from Waimea Canyon, island taco has great food and fast and friendly service. Lots of gluten free and vegan options that are safe for celiac! The woman at Island Taco was extremely knowledgeable about gluten cross-contamination and she directed me on how to order so as to be safe! I ordered the mahi mahi tacos on corn tortillas with salsa and refried beans instead of chips (the chips are fried in a fryer with gluten). The tacos were delicious, flavorful, and loaded with cabbage, rice, and mahi! The refried beans were flavorful and creamy. Delicious and satisfying lunch before a day of hiking! My two friends ordered the tofu burritos which were delicious! My one friend is vegan and was happy that the tofu and beans and rice were all vegan! With fast and friendly service, it was so refreshing to eat at a spot that was so understanding of dietary restrictions. There are covered picnic tables outside, so you can enjoy your tacos in the island breeze. Highly recommend Island Taco!

Mark Hook

No frills restaurant with very good food, staff was very knowledgable and able to cater for our coeliac daughter (which we found to be a struggle in other restaurants around Waikiki). Food was lovely, great place for a quick meal.

Kara Young

Delicious tacos. The lady who runs it is very sweet and understands all about celiac disease and cross contamination. All tacos in the menu are completely gluten free and amazing. Will be going back!

Ayako Walker

Delicious food at an affordable price. They even offer gluten-free and vegan choices.

leslie lufkin

Loved the fish tacos. Will eat there again before we leave. Good options for gluten free

Sarah Barnes

David Rivero

Lisa Fong

Fabulous food and very accommodating to allergies. Ate here nearly every day and had no issues as a celiac. If you’re in Hana and don’t stop here, you’ve missed out.

halli macdonald

Great meal! Pork is amazing and bbq sauce is very good. Service very friendly and catered to gluten free.

Scott Armstrong

Wow! Incredible food the carna asada quesadilla's and the pork burrito's were next level! They also have a number of gluten free options and they are all delicious!

Trevor Messal

Went there primarily because my son is celiac, the staff there were extremely accommodating and sanitized the food prep space before preparing his food and used new utensils. Recommended for those with celiac. Our whole family enjoyed their tacos 👍.

Highly recommend. Truly the best fish taco. The fresh ahi was nuts. They catered so kindly to my gluten and dairy restrictions and it was delicious. Boyfriend had the fish burrito and it was filled and huge!!! Would definitely go back.

Brian Schlagel

Great and they even had gluten free fish and chips for me.

Lauren Murawski

Chew This Up

The Waterman Bar And Grill offers the best gluten-free and vegetarian burger. If I had to eat gluten-free and vegetarian burgers for the rest of my life, this would be it. Don’t miss it. The grill offers lunch from 11:00-6:00 PM overlooking the pool and lagoon. The grill offers a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a full day of just doing nothing.

Jenica Tyler

These steak tacos tested gluten free!!! Yay 🌮

Shan Sultan

Proper gluten free authentic spot

Nitia Cheveallier (Wolfdragon)

Overall the food trucks had a great selection of food. Even with some members of the party being Gluten Free. The Poke Bowls were fresh and delicious. And the drink at the same food truck location was amazing.
