Bartaco

I’ve been here several times and it’s one of my favorite restaurants. The food is so good, and they’re really great about handling allergies. My only complaint is that you have to be a careful when they bring your food as sometimes the tacos can get confused with other people’s at your table or added to the same plate as someone else at your table. Also, at one point they were using paper straws which sometimes have gluten in them, so watch out for that. Other than that, I always feel pretty safe eating here, and the food is awesome!

When ordering, I made a note to keep gluten completely separate. My partner hasn't been sick once. Service is awesome and something that brought us back more than once. Almost everything is gluten free but it is marked on the menu.

very pleasant! someone in my party had a carrot allergy and there was carrots in the plate. our server took it back to the kitchen and told us when she came back out that she watched them make it to be sure there was no cross contamination. i'm gluten and dairy free. you order on line and you can put your allergies in. or if you order on the paper, there's a spot at the bottom for allergies. highly recommend!

I love bartaco! You can order as a celiac for delivery through door dash and denote a “gluten allergy” — if you’re not in the mood for tacos, the roasted chicken is DELICIOUS and pretty darn affordable!

What a great experience! Really fun. Almost everything is gf - truly gf, as in safe for celiac. You use the app to order food and pay for it, so that’s super convenient once you’re up to speed. The service was great- lots of check ins to see if we needed anything. I told them celiac when I arrived and they confidently told me how they are free of gluten and cross contamination. I ordered tons of food and it was all great. I’m a wimp with spices, and the least spicy items were the half chicken, chips and guacamole, pork belly taco, & crispy oyster taco. Def going back!

Their tacos are small which they fully disclose to you but I would personally recommend getting more than they suggest. I can honestly say I have no real complaints though! There is only one item on the menu that contains gluten and everything else is safe. They are simply delicious and I love the online ordering system.

This place is AMAZING! The food is sooo good! The manager was so nice and wonderful explaining everything to me. Pretty much everything on the menu is gluten free except an item on the kids menu and the desserts - and they cook those items at a different part of the kitchen and do not share a fryer. I am a severe celiac and had no problem. The food was so good that the group I was with had no idea that the tacos were all gluten free and wants to go back (proving that gluten free can be delicious!) I will definitely be going back!!

I’ve been to Bartaco in Raleigh twice and had the best experience. Almost everything is GF, and very allergen friendly in general - everything is clearly labeled and they take care to avoid cross contamination with the few items that contain gluten (separate fryers as well). Not to mention, the food is DELICIOUS and service is great. Try the pork belly tacos!!

One of best places in Raleigh to have celiac disease and be 100% safe eating at. Great food and very safe. Most of the menu is gf on its own but there is also an option to identify which items are for those with allergies when ordering so extra precautions are taken.

Almost the entire menu is GF (although no separate menu), and when ordering (online right now even when you go in person), you can select GF and DF among other allergies. Food is always delicious, and their margaritas are the best around. Only place in North Hills that I feel like is always safe for CD.

Really like their ordering system and way of marking GF. It might be tricky if someone wth your table is ordering gluten items bc they seem to default to putting things on shareable trays. Food is great and have had good experiences with take out and dine in.

(I’m not celiac but will get noticeably sick if there is any gluten in the food that I eat.) I’ve been to Bartaco four times, and not once have I ever had any sort of reaction to the food there. The menu doesn’t directly indicate which foods are GF but I learned from asking that about 85-90% of the menu can be made GF upon request, and their menu you can order online from had a gluten free option you can hit. The staff thoroughly checks each of the items and they were knowledgeable about the ingredients in everything. And when I asked they said that the gluten free food was made on separate sanitized grills, with separate utensils. The food is delicious, and I would definitely recommend!

Delicious food. Allergens clearly labeled on menu and online ordering platform asks about allergies on each item ordered. Seemed like 90% was gf. Food was delicious. I got the pork belly bowl, husband got a selection of tacos. You have the choice between lettuce or corn tortillas.

The staff was able to answer all of my questions. They have 7 fryers and all but one is gluten free. Everything is served with corn tortillas unless otherwise specified. All alcoholic drinks except some beer were gluten free. Can eat most of what’s on the menu.

Lobster and fried fish taco are excellent! Was able to eat the homemade chips and salsa which were also very good. Most items are gluten free.

This location doesn’t have table service you order online after downloading the QR code. At first it’s kind of a hassle since no one is there to Answer questions but they are helpful once you get someone to your table. After figuring it out it’s quite convenient. And ordering additional food or drinks is very convenient as well. Service was quick

GF friendly and they speak with confidence about the menu (can’t eat empanadas.or churros).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There are more gluten-free things on their menu than non gluten-free so they mark the things with gluten. The staff is super great about explaining everything to you and their allergy process not just for gluten but any allergy. They use a separate order card and tray for customers with dietary restrictions. I've eaten here twice and not gotten sick. It's also very nice that they use a gluten free flour in their breaded fish.

Some of the best tacos in town. I love that you can mix and match different kinds. I highly recommend the brussel sprouts taco.

First question asked after I said it was my first time was “do you have any food allergies?”. Most of their menu items are gluten free! Highly recommend Bartaco!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered a GF meal. It was served with flour tortillas. Had to be sent back twice. Can’t be trusted.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have a wide selection of gf foods, the staff is very knowledgeable of the menu, and the tacos and chips and salsa were very good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are so knowledgeable about celiac and the food was amazing! We will be back and this restaurant is highly recommended...even the hostess knew about celiac!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My Celiac family has eaten here several times with no issues or concerns. Well-trained staff!

Great options on the menu since almost everything if gluten-free. One waiter had enough knowledge of ingredients that they warned me against the carnitas since they are made with a gluten-removed beer

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had fish and shrimp tacos. All GF and all yummy!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food is delicious and inexpensive. Most of the menu is gf. Ordering on the app is super easy and each item has a place you can check as a gluten allergy, among other allergies. My meal was great and no symptoms after.

I have celiac and several other food allergies. Waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable. Chef came out to discuss my options and created 3 different tacos for me. All were delicious!!

Bartaco is so fantastic for anyone with food sensitivities. I am so happy they finally have Raleigh location! Their menu is clearly marked with any items that DO contain gluten, which is only a couple. Everything else is safe! This will be my new favorite gluten-free spot in town.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place to go have lunch and dinner solo or with friends. Tacos are GF because they use corn. You can sub for lettuce cups. 95% of the menu is GF. So lots of options for everyone. They have gluten removed beer and a cider. Also their cocktails are gf. You can write in the menu your allergens. I wrote no gluten or dairy and so any item I ordered that comes with dairy they took the dairy off. Menu is written so they label items that have gluten in it.

Delicious and wide variety of GF options. Excellent service.

Ate there twice, the first time in restaurant. Very clear with each server. Said everything but the quesadillas and desserts are gluten free. Confirmed they can make the quesadillas on corn tortillas. Second time, ordered online and noted allergy and ask to take care to avoid cross contamination and ask to swap flour tortillas for corn. I was ordering for my two sons that have celiac and I was away (they had a babysitter). Unfortunately, the restaurant did not swap the tortilla and I only noticed when I came home. I now have two very sick kids. I would not recommend as it is not safe for people with celiac as the servers and kitchen did not read notes.
