Taqueria Cinco

I ordered the tacos; there are many options to choose from! Stay away from fried items. We ordered guacamole and they gave me tostados to eat with them instead of chips, which were great!

LOVE this place. Super cute outdoor seating, yummy drinks, and GREAT tacos. All the tacos are on corn tortillas and GF. Haven’t tired anything else on the menu tbh.

The server was very knowledgeable about Celiacs disease. She was able to point out everything that was celiac safe and even traded out their tortilla chips for tostadas on the guacamole for free! I felt so safe eating here and, as someone who loves food, this was amazing place to eat. I brought a friend who can eat gluten and she couldn't even tell the difference! 10/10 would recommend this place for any person who loves food, Celiac or otherwise!

Was told all of the meat tacos were gluten free. I ordered the chorizo and one of the beef tacos. Both were excellent, and the prices were reasonable for the size and the area.

The best part was their holiday Margarita rimmed with Tajin. 10/10 recommend.

Tacos come with corn tortilla, all GF per the staff, told to avoid fried sprouts. Great guacamole, like a gallon of it. Nice shrimp taco. Really good ribeye taco. Quesadillas are tasty. In several ways this spot is better than other local ones for tacos. Definitely will be back.

This place was fantastic. Friendly service, even better tacos, and didn't get sick! I had the pastor & brisket tacos, which were definitely spicy but not 'burn your tongue off' spicy.

I plan on going back at least one or two times before I leave Jacksonville, highly recommended!

Very knowledgeable! Amazing tacos. Chips are cooked in a shared fryer, but they had tostadas that you could eat with salsa or guac!

A couple of the tacos have gluten but most items don't. If you ask, the staff will point them out to you but they don't have gluten marked on the menu. They take serious steps to avoid accidental cross contamination from the few items that are unsafe to eat.

The food is really tasty! But, very messy. Even by the standards of Mexican restaurants - the tacos are absolutely stuffed and the filling gets everywhere, so I wouldn't recommend this place for a first date or business meeting 😄

99% of the menus gluten free!

The things that are NOT gf are one of the veggie tacos (the one with the Brussel sprouts) and the churros

We had chips and guac, street corn, and tacos. The mushroom veggie taco was my favorite

The staff was very knowledgeable about their gluten-free menu items, and the food was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Only been here once (right after they opened), but I was assured by the kitchen staff that there’s nary a morsel of gluten in the joint. My tacos were delicious; I used my Nima sensor to test for gluten and everything was clean.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is absolutely incredible! Not only were the tacos the best I’ve ever had and the jalapeño margarita perfect, the staff went above and beyond. Almost the whole menu is gf and they only use corn tortillas (yummy ones too). They were extra cautious by preparing my food in a separate clean area and even used a brand new pan bc I explained just how sensitive I am. First place in a long time I left not feeling the slightest bit sick from which is a real treat. Every celiac must check this place out! The street corn was also to die for.
