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.
Expect a cozy vibe with top-notch service and generous portions, making it a perfect spot for a fun dining experience.

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.
With a lively atmosphere, solid music lineup, and attentive service, this spot is a must for travelers looking to unwind.

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."
This spot brings a tasty twist with fantastic homemade tacos and a welcoming vibe, making it a must-visit for any casual outing.

<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

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!

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!
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.

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.
A chill vibe with a subdued atmosphere makes it perfect for a relaxed evening, plus excellent non-alcoholic drink options and attentive service!

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.
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!!!
You'll find some of the best queso in Nashville here, with a unique commitment to allergy awareness and a welcoming vibe.

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!

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!
Experience a vibrant rooftop atmosphere and unique fusion vibes that set this spot apart from typical Mexican restaurants.

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.

This place is amazing. It is way better than chipotle or other fast casual Mexican grills. They are super family, friendly, gluten-free friendly, and the food is all made from scratch. It is really easy to customize your order to fit your preferences. You can go really healthy or get a big smothered burrito with cheese and sauce.
I highly recommend this place. It is one of our go to places for our family.

In town for a basketball tournament. This was close to the school so I stopped in. Glad I did. Food was delicious and the servings were big. The young lady who took my order was great. I asked about gluten free and she recommended a dish that was perfect.

Tacos are consistently deliciously. If you are gluten or corn sensitive, you can get your tacos on lettuce wraps.
It can get a little expensive, but the taste explosion is worth it.
Quirky vibes, tasty portions, and the best margaritas downtown make this lively spot a hit, especially with live music and a cool outdoor patio.

If you’re looking for the best tacos in downtown Knoxville, you have to come here. Compared to Chivo and soccer taco, this is the best.
We really love the fish tacos, dip trio and the Cuban. Portion sizes are really good. Our vegetarian friends love the black bean burger. I even have gluten-free friends that can enjoy a meal here.
Their margaritas are the best downtown. I highly recommend the blood orange margarita. The atmosphere is quirky and fun, which matches their neon sign, paying homage to the name. It’s always lively, and there are some days you can catch live music. Prices are fair and good for what you’re getting. Portion size is filling.
Since they’ve come under new ownership a few years ago, it has greatly improved. Previously, I would not go here. But now it’s become one of my favorites. I have even brought out of town clients here for dinner who have enjoyed it. It is a laid-back atmosphere.
The service has always been excellent, and the staff has always been attentive. You can tell that people enjoy it there. I do recommend getting a reservation here if you are looking for outdoor seating or having a large party 6+, especially during their busy time at dinner. The patio feels quickly in the warmer months, so if you want that space get a reservation.
Their back door leads to Marble Alley’s upstairs bar, which is a great place to go after you’ve had your fill for games, or to enjoy the bowling alley.
This place had excellent food and had gluten free options that did not require special instruction. I had the fish tacos with cucumber onion salad. Their chips are super crunchy and thick. Their dip was amazing. The live performer made great song choices and it wasn't too loud. The wait was short. It was like 2019 in there 😉 and I loved it.
Experience a place where attentiveness to dietary needs shines, ensuring every visit is worry-free and enjoyable.

My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and they are beyond accommodating here making sure we always get a great meal even if that means modifying a few things to make them safe. The manager here is either more knowledgeable or more caring than the other Mexican restaurants where we eat, paying attention to marinade ingredients. A meal here doesn’t ruin our night or weekend the way that many restaurants do.
As you can see this unique taco 🌮 shop is in the new and coming part of Franklin along the line of businesses across the street from a large pond. It's a great place to bring the family, date, or a quick lunch while sitting outside on the patio taking in the sun 🌞.
I am not sure who the artist is that painted all the murals on the walls inside but it gives this small shop personality that is for sure. I liked the large one on the wall to the left the most because they painted Oscar's Taco shop as is in a fun way and pretty good detail too.
Now to the food. After coming in and heading to the counter to the left around all the booths I step up to the counter to order. I am gluten intolerant so I stick with the basics cheese Enchiladas with rice and beans or tacos 🌮 to insure not reactions.
I order my meal and head to a bar top stool that could be used for alcohol 🍸consumption but not in use due to covid 19. The food came out very quick and tasted pretty good. It was all the basic ingredients and diffently real authentic Mexican food with out all the tex Mex add on. I have learned growing up in Texas 7 miles from the border that is a Mexican restaurant has orchata to drink 🍸 they are an authentic Mexican restaurant. This restaurant does serve this and fits the bill.
I recommend this restaurant if you are looking for true authentic Mexican cuisine but if you are looking for alittle more flavor try another place.
Staff were great not alot of English but you could tell it was family owned.
I was touched reading the paper of a young student posted on the wall near where I was sitting about what Oscar's Taco shop meant to them. They summed it up like this. Oscar's Taco shop is a fun place to come and eat with the family. So I will end my review on this note.
Tell them I sent you.
Cheers 🍻
These people know their regular customers by name. Staff is always friendly. While I believe Corporate has asked them to cut back on portions, just ask for two scoops of lots of veggies, and you'll have an awesome fresh meal. I am gluten-intolerant, and I can easily eat awesome salads here. We often stop in as a family, buy food, and take it home. We like the fresh taste! My husband enjoys the big burritos and my 3 teens love the nachos. Great cheese and guacamole! Leslie H From Hixson, TN
