Taqueria Maria Bonita Bar & Grill

I was so excited when I saw they labeled the gluten free foods with a “gf”. The salsa tasted like it belonged on pizza. My husband (a gluten eater) and I (who is severe celiac) both ordered food labeled gluten free. And after one taco I knew I was going to be sick. I don’t feel like I ate straight gluten but it was definitely cross contamination.

Gluten free tortilla chips! They new have a dedicated fryer for only corn tortillas and corn tortilla chips. Very knowledgeable! Several items marked GF on the menu. Other items can be made GF by subbing corn tortillas. Highly recommend! Friendly service and good food!

This little restaurant is attached to Best Western. Talk about convenience!! The menu was extensive and everything that was gluten free was clearly marked. I’d say almost 1/2 of the menu was gf. Unless it comes in a huge flour tortilla, it’s pretty much going to be safe. I had the enchiladas (with no sauces- I just don’t like them). Absolutely delicious. Had a pitcher of margaritas. We didn’t finish them in the restaurant but got them in to go cups to take back to our room. It was a great dinner.

Really good Mexican food, which I miss so much in Williamsburg! You can't get everything, but the enchiladas I've had are delicious. The chips are not GF, but if you ask, they will bring you a few GF tostadas (I think that's what they are) and your own dish of salsa (if others are eating regular chips). The manager/supervisor is happy to come over to explain or clarify the GF options, and I've felt very confident in them knowing what they're doing. (And I've never been glutened there!) Regular menu items are also excellent, per my friends, and good prices, too.
