Spoke to manager and server prior to ordering. Plentiful list of gluten free options. I had queso and chips then a cheese enchilada. Loved the queso and the others in my party enjoyed their meals. Did not get sick at all. Definitely will go back and try the fajitas or tacos next.

Since my husband and I are very sensitive to gluten we decided to give this place a try on our vacation to Ocean City based on the excellent reviews on this site. I had the crab soup and chorizo nachos. They were both excellent! My husband had enchiladas made with corn tortillas and he said they were delicious. We were so grateful to have found this place!

Excellent tacos. Beans. Everything on the menu is gluten-free except for the flour tortillas and one other item.

I’ve been here a couple of times and never got sick! Go for Happy Hour, they have awesome margaritas and the best tacos I’ve ever had! They have both hard and soft corn tacos, and everyone there seems really knowledgeable about food allergies and cross contamination. My non-celiac family also loves this place as well!

I stopped due to all the great reviews. I ordered tacos and when I got them noticed the shells looked like flour, even after telling them I had an allergy and confirming it with the waitress. I was able to get it fixed by another staff member and the waitress admitted it was her fault and she forgot to put it in. The food was good but hard to look past that.

What a delicious meal! We went for happy hour where the tacos are $3 or $4 and the margaritas were $5. There were hard or soft corn tortillas.

Have been twice and never been sick. Steak fajitas are gluten free when order the corn tortillas and the chips are gluten free too. Everything is separate and will come back.

We alerted sever of celiac disease. She said no problem. Whole table ordered corn tortillas for entrees. Food was delivered and I said these are all corn correct? They said yes. My enchiladas came and I knew they were flour. Cook came out and sure enough they were flour. Luckily my celiac husband didn’t take a bite. Server apologized. Did not send manager over. He happened to stop over and I told him what happened. He apologized. No adjustment to bill. Second trip here. Food is great but lost faith now and won’t be back. Too many other great places in OC to choose from.

So yummy, so safe. Waiter knew off the top of her head what they can do gluten free. We got the nachos, tacos and enchiladas and no one got sick. We are very sensitive and wished we came here again.

I could not wait to order from here due to all the amazing reviews. When I called to place my take out order the girls answering the phone had no answers to my questions about fryers etc. They tried to help but when I asked to speak to someone who knew how the corn tortillas were prepared they were not available to speak to me. That should have been my sign to leave but with so many positive experiences I was still hopeful. My celiac child had chicken tacos on corn tortillas, she didn’t even have any chips as the fryer answer was unknown and she got very sick afterwards. So disappointing.

I got the three tacos meal with a corn tortilla. Their chips are safe to eat and are fried in a dedicated fryer.

Really enjoyed dinner. Multiple options on the menu of interest to our family. My celiac kiddo had tacos and guacamole. I tried the crab and corn chowder which was gluten free and was sad I only ordered a cup! Very tasty. We are hoping to go back again during this long weekend trip.

I’ve ordered chips and guacamole, comes with salsa, chicken hard shell tacos (fried in the same fryer as the tortilla chips separate from everything else), and once even got the crab chowder which was amazing! I’m very sensitive to cross-contamination and haven’t gotten sick in my two visits. I’d suggest calling in your pick up order, as there isn’t a spot to specify GF in the online system.

Had one of the best cream of crab soups I've ever had here, as well as a salad that was tasty. They have a separate area for pick-up, which was very convenient.

We were a little nervous after some of the reviews but the server made us feel extra safe about serving our daughters with Celiac. Corn tacos, guacamole and (best of all) the QUESO were delicious and very safe. Will come here everytime we visit OC.
Yes
Told the waitress I needed GF and got the corn tacos and margarita and didn't get sick
Yes
I have celiac disease and my body reacts to dairy just as bad. This is my go to place in Ocean City, I come here at least 10 times a year and have never had a bad experience. If there's a wait, it's worth it!
Food was amazing tasted really great.... but I got sick afterwards. Getting sick on vacation was not my idea of fun
No
Excellent crab chowder! Everything we had was fantastic. Appetizers and sides all marked if GF. Main dishes are GF with corn shells/tortillas. Recommended!
Yes
Great food and fabulous owner/chef. They have a dedicated fryer for corn tortillas. Most dishes can be made GF!! I had their chips, salsa and two hard tacos... delish!!! The best part, I did not get sick. Just a heads up, the restaurant is a little run down and could use a good cleaning. However, a great experience! Highly recommend!
Yes
I went during happy hour and got corn tortilla tacos with dairy-free cheese (which is tapioca-based grated style). The corn tortillas were not stuffed and then fried, like many Mexican restaurants I’ve been to do, but I suppose that helps the restaurant ensure GF, just not as tasty. The people I was dining with did not like the chicken (which was shredded and on the spicy side) as much as the beef. Margaritas and salsa were good. I really appreciated the vegan cheese option.
Great food and service! Stuffed ourselves silly on nachos and tacos! Also- the crab chowder is ridiculously amazing! Even bought t-shirts, that’s how much we loved it.
Always go here anytime we visit OC. Food is excellent and have never had a reaction. Staff is knowledgeable about allergies. Popular and therefore sometimes crowded but it is worth the wait!
Yes
My husband and kids all have celiac so we chose this restaurant because of the reviews. We were assured of a separate fryer and that precautions are taken to make gluten free food. Unfortunately all three of my children ended up sick after eating there. My 7 year old said can we please never go to this restaurant again.
No
Menu is labeled with gluten free options and instructions to talk with wait staff about GF choices. The cook even came out to speak with us about how they prepared the food. Really wonderful place!
Yes
Super friendly waitress and very careful to make sure everything was GF. The waitress made sure that the chips that are brought to every table were made in a separate GF fryer. ALMOST everything on the menu can be made GF.
Yes
This place was fine, but I was surprised (given all of the great reviews about how careful they are with frying) that their French fries were cooked in a shared fryer and not truly gluten free, as explained by our waiter. A disappointment to my gluten-free 5-year-old.
Make sure to ask for corn tortillas.
Cannot say enough about this place! The corn tortillas are so good and the staff was so friendly and patient with questions. They use a separate fryer! I will eat here every time I’m in OC. Had the nachos and fajitas! Out of this world!!
Yes
This place is amazing! All corn products are separate from gluten, including fryers, so tortilla chips are safe. One person mentioned that none of the entrees are labeled gluten free but that’s only because flour tortillas are the default. However most entrees can be made gluten free simply by requesting a corn tortilla (enchiladas, fajitas etc). Beans, rice, veggies, meat etc are all gluten free. The chef has even come to our table to answer any questions and even brought out the food himself! Can’t say enough good things about this place. They understand celiac better than any other restaurant in OC.
Yes
Amazing! Wings, queso, fries oh my!! Great options for food, we talked with the server and confirmed wings, and fries were in a safe fryer. So tasty, also open later also have a take out location.
I was actually disappointed with this restaurant. They had their gluten free options listed on the menu...but there was barely any entrees..at all that were listed gluten free. I tried talking to the server but the place was crazy busy and I just felt it was too risky to try to get them to make something or fix something that isn’t usually gluten free..gluten free. So I ended up getting the Portabella mushroom nacho platter that was AMAZING! But did to their lack of options for celiacs I probably won’t be back.
Yes
Amazing Food!!! Friendly Staff and great atmosphere. If you love and miss Authentic Mexican food this is the place for you. Did not get sick AT ALL. Highly recommend the wings and guac. Don’t forget to add a marg or 3 :)
Yes
Cannot say enough good things about this place. GF items are listed on the menu but they claim to be able to make just about anything GF. Best part is that I had a completely GF meal without anyone in the place knowing that had food allergies. Anything marked GF is safe to order without mentioning anything to the server. I am extremely sensitive and did not feel 1% sick. Had the wings, chips and guac, chips and salsa, beef tacos, chorizo tacos (both hard shell), and the black beans and rice as a side. Also a few margaritas! Everything was delicious.
Yes
Love Mother's! If you're in the mood for Mexican and have celiac this is the place to go. Servers and all staff friendly and knowledgeable. Corn tacos are very yummy & the best part they Fry the corn chips in a separate fryer so the chips are safe. Definitely recommend the chicken nachos and corn tacos!
Yes
Wow!!! Homemade everything. Daughter is Celiac and had a homemade corn tortillas! Very polite. Very accommodating!!! Concerned for allergies!!! Loved it and recommend it.
Yes
Lots of gf options. Their corn tortillas are homemade and the chips/hard corn tortillas are fried in a separate frier! Had tacos & chips/queso and did not get sick!
Yes
Celiac review: I have eaten here 5 times and never had any issues. I think their food is great, especially the chips. We usually get queso to go with it. Most of their menu can be made gf which is why I go each year. I got the enchiladas most recently. The chicken enchiladas are awesome. If you like spicy, get the beef enchiladas. The beef was too spicy for me personally as it has a lot of jalapeno but it was still good.
Yes
This place is great. I hade the sautéed fish taco served on corn tortillas. They were awesome. They have quite a few choices and will accommodate for GF choices.
Yes
It looks like a local neighborhood watering hole, and it probably is. But the food was great and they able to tweak items on the menu to be GF. We had the wings, nachos, tacos, and the spicy crab soup and didn't get sick.
Yes
We went here after reading all the great reviews. I had the chicken tacos and they amazing. I was not sick at all and Homemake the corn tortillas which were the best I have had.
Great food for both GF and not! Wait staff was knowledgeable, highly recommend the guacamole and chips. Spoke with the owner and the tortillas are all hand made, so you know for sure it's GF! No labeled options on kids menu as GF except fries, but got my celiac daughter a crispy corn taco, rice and beans, all GF. Highly suggest this restaurant, although wait was 2 hours for dinner so suggest coming early or for lunch!
Yes
Great tacos. Many options for GF. Menu is marked as such. Very beachy atmosphere. Tons of tequila options too!
