Taco Luchador

Out of 20+ tacos only the fried fish couldn’t be made GF. Great flavor and variety. Knowledgeable about dedicated fryer, etc. The tacos were small for the price in my opinion.

Mexican is always an easy cuisine for me. The menu is not labeled GF. Plantains and Chips are fried in a shared fryer so not an option for those with celiac. I had the carne asada taco and Tinga taco. Both were very good. I did not inquire much about the sauces but probably should have.

We have used this website many times to safely eat at restaurants for our wheat and peanuts allergic son but this restaurant was not safe for him. We visited July 2022 and the manager told us that there was no way he could eat safely and that there is cross contamination throughout the kitchen they couldn't control. We were turned away. I believe there are many items on the menu that do not contain wheat naturally but they are not safely prepared, according to the manager. I would avoid this restaurant if you have food allergies.

Great food and great service. They have a list of allergens when you order. Did mention that there is cross-contamination in the fryer so stayed away from the chips. Tacos were some of the best that I had.

I had a great experience at Taco Luchador! There happened to be a manager at the front when I was ordering and she said the only things that aren’t GF are their mole, tortas, and Baja tacos since the fish is fried. She said chips have their own fryer so also GF! I ordered the carnitas tacos and they were DELICIOUS. The pork was so tender it was falling apart. I didn’t have any sort of reaction, so I will definitely be visiting again:)

OMG. Was so excited to able to eat almost everything on menu: fries with mole sauce and cheese; even nachos. Nachos were served in a bowl tinga chicken was my choice, which allowed a reserve of queso sauce to collect at bottom. Delish. All sauces GF too. Staffer told me “I got you, boo” when I asked questions. And she did! Great food, great Irish Hill neighborhood. Will definitely be back next time in town.

We were told almost everything is GF except for the tortas, churros, and 1 other thing. The churros and chips are fried in separate fryers so I was able to have chips and queso.

Excellent food, lots of gluten free taco. The order at the counter, one of the wonderful employees is also Gluten Free so she was amazing at navigating the menu. Also put “change gloves” on the order. Grilled chicken Nachos, veggie Taco, salad and Flan all delicious

“A flavorful explosion in your mouth!” Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. All tacos and sides are gluten free with the exception of fish tacos and mole sauce. Fish is fried separately so chips and sweet potato fries are gluten free too! Best sweet potato fries with smoked pineapple sauce - fries were crispy and sauce was unique and so tasty! Tacos were overstuffed and fresh. We are SATISFIED... (and perhaps in a food coma as well).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My 14 year old daughter has a reaction to gluten, heard good things about this place and tried it out today. Did not disappoint, just about everything on the menu (except 2 items) are gluten free and the food was amazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff and manager are are very accommodating and can always tell you which tacos are GF. All sauces are GF. Chips are not, they’re in a shared fryer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ahh! So good! Really good!!! Their menu is naturally mostly gluten free - ask all the questions and make sure they know you have Celiacs and need them to be careful. I spoke to the MOD and had no ill effects eating here. Wonderful spot. And the music. And atmosphere. And speed of service. Holy tacos, Batman.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
