Regularly enjoy El Pelón! Their tacos are super good, and they are very responsive when you let them know you have an allergy. A great go-to place!

There's a lot of safe gluten free options, with cross-contamination not an issue, and the food is really good.

This is one of my go-to restaurants! Their chips are gluten free and delicious. A lot of the menu can be made gluten free. I usually go for the pollo enchiladas, but their tacos are good, too. I’ve never had a reaction after eating here or at the other El Pelon location.

Fantastic find! Just about all of the items are GF or they can accommodate. The only thing to avoid is the flour tortillas. We opted for corn tacos and enchiladas and they can make burritos in a bowl. Also had the taquitos. Some of the best Mexican food around. We’ve already been back twice!

My girlfriend (who has Celiacs) and I were visiting Boston and decided to stop here. All menu options could be made as gluten free and the food was fantastic. The steak enchilada was absolutely incredible and even the chips were authentic and delicious. Highly recommended for anyone that is GF.

They have a good amount of gluten free options. You can have the chips and salsa as well as their quesadillas (just clarify that you want the corn tortilla). Some of their platters can also be made gluten free.
