I would advise to stick to only the naturally gluten-free menu items and not any that require modification. They brought out deep fried potatoes rather than sautéed, and mussels with a big piece of bread right inside the bowl. We noticed the mussels but did not catch the potatoes until after we had eaten. Restaurant is very dimly lit and server assured us everything was gf, but the modifications were clearly not made and we were sick within the hour.
We went for lunch around 2 pm so not super crowded. They marked everything that could be made gluten free. They had plenty of options that my daughter liked. She ordered the steak and egg without the egg (two of those) patatas bravas and serrano ham for appetizer. Everyone else in my family also loved it.
Went again, this time for dinner. Excellent service, knowledgable about celiac/gluten free. Great atmosphere with very good food.
This place is terrific! Our server asked about allergies up front, and when I said gluten, she modified a menu and gave us the copy to keep. She was very knowledgeable. The food and the atmosphere are wonderful! My wife and I split a charcuterie & cheese (Jamon Serrano, soppressata, mahon), tapas (potato tortilla, chorizo w/ sweet & sour figs, pork belly), and chocolate cake for dessert. Highly recommend. We’ll be back!

I’ve been to Barcelona now a number of times and have had an amazing experience each time. They will mark what you can and cannot eat in the menu, and are very good about communicating with the kitchen. The only downside is they have no separate fryer but they will do the dish in the oven if possible!
Dined at the bar. Service was slow at first, but bartender 100% turned it around and we enjoyed our visit very much. We ate appetizers only, not dinner entrees. Bartender was very helpful and knowledgeable about marking the menu for GF options and crossing out others. Highly recommended and delicious: Eggplant, bacon wrapped dates, GF chocolate "cake" which was like a thick pudding texture. Not recommended: Trout was dry. Potato tortillas was actually seemingly a pie shaped slice of scalloped potatoes, but tasted okay.
Waiter was very knowledgeable about cross contamination and every dish that contained gluten. She crossed out all the things I could not eat, things that were CC risk but could be prepared differently to avoid that, etc. The paella salvaje was gluten free and so delicious! So many options here.
My husband and I had originally tried this place but at their Brookline, MA location. When we realized there was also one in Dallas, we were ecstatic.
This place is so good. Like really really good. They have TONS of gluten free options on their menu and the servers seem to be knowledgeable.
This place is fabulous!!
So so good! The waiter asked if we had food allergies and then crossed out anything on the menu that contained gluten. There were still plenty of delicious options left! And they have an amazing gluten free chocolate cake!!!
They’re careful to ask and then make recommendations. Numerous amazing options that are GF, and my understating is they may have two separate friers/options for their potatoes if you ask and one is dedicate GF- please confirm. They’re so delicious!!
They can make almost everything on the menu gluten free! If you tell waiter you have an allergy they will mark up the menu and cross out what you can’t have. Amazing food!

Do not have GF menu. Waitress was very knowledgeable. Asked if cross contamination was ok and then marked up the menu. Food was amazing. We shared 4 tapas and would highly recommend the chicken thigh with dill and lemon and the cauliflower with turmeric and pickled onions.
Super great for gluten free! Clearly mark the menu for you when you arrive and most apps are naturally gluten free. Loved the potato and shrimp appetizers.
Soo good! They are so knowledgeable about GF and what can/can’t have.
Servers are well-versed on gluten free options. They also have a marked menu with gluten free foods and substitutions. I ordered several dishes and did not get sick. Everything was delicious.
Many options!! When asked if they had GF items, they immediately asked if I was Celiac. They went through the menu and marked items that were Celiac-friendly, as in no cross contact.
