Great experiences at Tinto. Nearly the entire menu is GF including anything that goes into the fryer (chips, yuca). A nice change to not have to question each individual item on the menu. Food is good and lots of variety that accommodates a family.

Almost everything here is naturally gluten free and they have been great about ensuring no cross-contamination each time I have dined here. Chips and salsa are celiac safe, the tortillas are made to order and the margaritas are fantastic!

Nearly everything on the menu is gluten free. We always get the chips and guacamole. Our family goes here often. Our kids like the adult tacos and they are able to just order two tacos (they like the shrimp and carnitas) instead of kid menu items. Great service!

We came for lunch. While the options were limited for kids, I did find many different amazing options for myself. There were only two (marked) gluten items on the entire menu. The service was fantastic as well.

Amazing authentic food! The crispy carnitas tacos were the best carnitas I’ve ever had. My husband got the tilapia fried fish tacos were also so crispy! We also had the guac and shrimp ceviche. I had the primero margarita and loved it. Such a great find! 99% of menu is gf and all fried food is gf so it’s a perfect spot

This is one of my favorite spots. Menu is clearly markers and servers are knowledgeable about cross contact questions. Ceviche with their chips (dedicated fryer) is one of my favorites. My only problem is not ordering too much food! :)

Almost the entire menu is gluten free (only missing out on a Cubano, a salad, and two desserts)! It’s normally the other way around, so this was a pleasant surprise. Dedicated fryer because everything that’s fried is gluten free—I had the fried tilapia tacos and stole a bite of the fried avocado tacos. Delicious! Will definitely be back.

Yum! The food here is fantastic. Being able to enjoy empanadas was a real treat and the coconut flan is delightful. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the casa marg - the food is some of the best I’ve eaten in Minneapolis and perfect for this gluten free girl.

Many GF choices on delicious pillowy soft corn tortillas. The red mole pozole is fantastic, and the Barbacoa tacos juicy, generously filled and excellent. There is a wonderful GF flan for dessert!

I've been here several times and always had great experiences and never been sick. All of the tacos are gluten free so chance of cross contamination is minimal. Servers and bartenders have been knowledgeable. They used to keep a dedicated gf fryer but sadly last time we were there I was told it's no longer gf, so no chips (although you could bring your own, which I've done occasionally.) ETA: check about the fryer - I've heard, but have not personally verified, that they're keeping a separate fryer again as of mid-2021.

Very tasty! Most items listed as GF. Did not probe on cross-contamination/ dedicated fryer as my Celiac daughter was not with us.

OK tacos. Lots of things listed gluten-free and waitress assured us It was celiac friendly. Were it not for lots of probing questions, would not have found out about shared fryer, which means about half of the gluten-free listed options were not available to us...

Celiac friendly?

No
