Top 20 Gluten-Free Taco Spots Across Virginia

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.

Came here on Valentine’s Day. My server Lexi made sure my meals would be shellfish and gluten free. Also love how many gluten free options there are too. I had the devils pass dip which was so flavorful and had the cheeseburger which was good too. Also tried the chocolate decadence which is gluten free too, very rich chocolate flavor

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.

I was referred here because they have clean food and I wasn’t disappointed! I wish they would get grass fed grass finished option for the meat but the organic wild caught salmon and free range clean chicken were great! They have gluten free beer! Service was amazing!

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.

Jena Van

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.

Well, here is my honest review. When we walked in, there were three employees behind the stand. One was busy on the phone and the other two were just standing around and giggling. We stood there for about a minute and no one acknowledged us. I literally turned around and opened the door and said “I guess they are closed.” (Nigel - you can actually check the camera because it’s a great feedback/teaching moment to your staff.) The two girls still said nothing to us. We stayed because of your Gluten Free options. We got sat and we waited. Then, we waited some more. Then, we flagged down a passing server and inquired where ours was. She told us that she would check. A few moments later, someone appeared at the table. Our server Talina was a bag full of sunshine… NOT. She was mediocre at best. While waiting for our food, we were subjected to the inappropriate music being blasted from the kitchen. (We sat in the booth right in front of the kitchen expo.) Speaking of food, I asked for the pasta with chicken; no mushrooms but substitute broccoli. I was charged $3 for a few measly pieces of it but hey, its 2024. The food overall was very, very good. However, due to the lack of hospitality and pleasant atmosphere, it was a fail in my book. *Bonus tidbit, I called from my seat asking if Nigel was in tonight. They answered “no” to which I replied, it’s clearly evident.

Enjoyable experience. Gluten friendly menu... Reasonably priced

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.

Bella Youssef

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.

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.

Xernova Awuah

The gluten free crust and vegan cheese was nothing to righteous home about even with a “mile high” of meat toppings. No harmony in the flavors or textures. Wish I tried the salmon!

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.

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.

Brian Chase (orcacherman)

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

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.

Megan K

I was genuinely surprised by how good this place was. We were in town visiting family and weren't familiar with the spot. I have a gluten allergy, and the server was knowledgeable, and the gluten friendly options were really good. I actually told my husband that the only suggestion I would make to people would be to sit at the tables rather than in the booths. The booths moved every time the person on the other side moved, and the backs weren't thick enough between sides. We both found that frustrating. If that's the only thing to complain about, though, then I'd say it's about as perfect a place as you'll get! Top notch!

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!

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)

Rob Wilcox

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

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.

Isabella Stevens

I have food allergies, and the server and kitchen worked really hard to modify the food and make sure I could eat it safely! It's definitely a place to try if you are gluten or dairy free because they list everything you can eat on the menu! Same for vegetarian. Yummy food, too. The only slight drawback was the atmosphere because certain tables had air vents blowing on them, which would have been a real bummer. The other slight issue was that there were only two bathrooms in the whole place, and the line took forever. Maybe it's not always like that, but the wait was at least 15 minutes. We still liked it enough to go back, though! The service really was excellent.

Jeremy Kehr

Let's just be honest, these are the best tacos around. You cannot go wrong with any of them. They are preparred very quickly as well. Be forewarned, there are no fountain drinks for eating in. The tortilla chips are also really good. Lots of gluten free!

E G

Edit from my previous review, One of the managers reached out to me this morning and was very proactive in terms of making sure the the menu items properly reflect what are actually gluten free. Be careful using third party apps if you have food restrictions. The food here is great. As someone with dietary restrictions, it's really important to be able to find restaurants that care and have good food that is safe to eat. The salmon tacos are my favorite! The lamb tacos are also very good. Both are gluten free and full of flavor. The ingredients also taste fresh! which really make up a good taco.

Michael Coleman

We really enjoyed this small restaurant but it must be very popular because a steady crowd was coming in all the time. Most importantly, this restaurant is on my wifes recommended list for those with Celiac. I highly recommend this place.

Conrad Smith

Great place for a gluten free lunch. No GF friendly menu but I've been there three times with three different waiters and all of them knew all about their menu. Ask about ciders too!

Julie Fiore

Horrible service. Celiacs child almost got glutened. Worst restaurant I've ever been to. Save your $$ people - servers are not trained, zero idea what's even on their menu.

Dr Acharya

Avoid at all costs. I specifically requested corn tortilla (also said so on the receipt) but was carelessly given tacos with flour tortilla. I asked the person on the counter twice and was told if the receipt said so, it wil br corn. It was late and I got on the flight and unknowingly took a couple of bites. I have severe gluten intolerance. Suffered through out my 2 hour flight. What a horrible place. Shame on them.

Ashley Collum

Thank you to our server Grace for a wonderful meal and safe, gluten free service! I have Celiac Disease and am so thankful to have found this place on the lake! Delicious, high-quality food too!

Becky Conway

Trevor was a star! Incredibly helpful for a friend with gluten allergy and helped us maximize happy hour offerings. Will definitely be going back.

Mollie Brooks Cary

Great food and service. Plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options!

yepisuredolikecats

it’s so good dude. just trust me. and get the fresh guac. oh, also, lots of gluten friendly options! and a number of vegetarian.

Charles J. Korn

Super tasty, reasonably-priced tacos with a wonderful array of filling options ranging from full-on meat, to gluten-free, and vegan options. And love their selection of draft beer; my favorite is Mango Cart!

Angie Shelton

I love this place! You won’t be disappointed with anything you order. Corn tortillas are gluten free but warmed on the same grill as the flour tortillas. Ask that they keep the foil under the tortillas while warming them. This helps cut down on the cross contamination.

Amy Lawlor

My partner is gluten free and vegetarian, so we were struggling to find something that fell under those two categories when we looked through the menu. Chanel told us about multiple gluten free, vegetarian options and made sure to explain how the meals would be made, and was very knowledgeable about all of the ingredients- it was so reassuring! The food came out fast and was really good- I think I got the southwest chicken tacos and my partner got portobello veggie fajitas with corn tortillas, we were both very happy with the meals. We are so grateful that Chanel was able to make the suggestions that she did, and we had a great dinner because of her! Thank you Chanel!!

Katherine Hedrick

DELICIOUS tacos, flautas, and elote. I have celiac disease and all precautions were taken for gluten free prep. We’ll be back!

Creative Heat

Loved!!!!!! So delicious and gluten free :)

Johnny Snah

We have been going to this restaurant for years and is the go to for our Mexican cuisine fix. There are several Mexican restaurants in the area so the theme is quite saturated, but we always chose Mexico Restaurant over the others. First, it is always clean and well organized and the prices are very fair for the food provided. We have always experienced exceptional customer service from everyone including managers, servers, and host. They may not be as upbeat as the competitors or over the top, but we have been here hundreds of times and never have we complained about the service. The food is good and they do a great job updating the menu and offering new items. It is not authentic cuisine, but does enough to provide a great meal. We have a family member with severe gluten allergies, and this is the only Mexican restaurant she feels comfortable at, and they provide her plenty of options. The bar drinks are definitely short of spectacular, but for those looking for a family friendly vibe, Mexico does not really promote alcohol and their bar is always empty. Those looking for a bar scene will be disappointed. The patio is amazing, however inside is comfortable but a bit dull and not as loud and flamboyant as some of the other restaurants. In the end, in a heavily saturated theme, we continue to come here over the others because of the consistency and above average marks in all areas. It is not fantastic at anything, but we have never left disappointed.

Really amazing place! Low key vibe, but delicious food. And great gluten free options. Pick this over the chains!

Brandy Bergenstock

We had a great experience - 3 near perfect meals. Gluten-free and there were several options to choose from as well as having gluten-free bread. They were a vegetarian options and some really delicious dessert breakfast options like cinnamon pecan waffles with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream. Their happy hour was fabulous with five dollar crushes.

Jason Kaplan

Great food options with plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. High quality food.

Rachel Beswick

I have celiac disease, and it is very hard to find places to eat out that won’t make me sick. I decided to try Pancho villa. (Most restaurants I have found don’t take gluten free serious). I asked the waiter if the salsa was gluten free he checked, the salsa is gluten free. I just explained if I eat any kind of gluten it will make me very sick. I asked for an enchilada, he came back and said that the enchilada sauce has flour in it, but he checked the cheese dip and it didn’t, so we could substitute. I was very blown away that he took the time to make sure and even gave me substitutions without me having to check myself. My husband and I have been coming here since we moved to the area around 3 years ago, we have never had a bad experience. The food is always great, we always get greeted with a smile. Thank you for the consistently great experience.

Ali Massie

Food was very nice, went for an outing with my family. One thing I wish was better was their beans. Otherwise the food was nice and our server was great! I love the ability to be able to get corn tortillas because it makes my mom who has a gluten sensitivity feel more comfortable going out to eat.

Jessica Martin

A solid, down to earth Mexican cuisine spot with tasty, filling, varied food and solid, kind service. Atmosphere and prices are great as well, especially at lunch. Plenty of gluten free options as well, the corn tortillas are great. I’d definitely come again.

Adam Jay Poyer

Never disappointed with the service or food, however, I wish they had more gluten free selections.

Matt YouTube-FloridaAmbient

Fantastic food, excellent service and perfect portions. Gluten free options (not marked) are available!
