Delicious tacos, especially the bang bang cauliflower! Good GF options that are marked. I did ask our waitress about the chips situation (see other reviews on here) and she said they bring the chips in from elsewhere so they are safely GF. We ordered the guacamole and it was insanely delicious. (Maybe double check and ask about the chips when you go though to make sure).

Went first time for an event and spoke with one of the guys serving the buffet-style food. He said chips were definitely GF. Everything tasted great.

Went another time for dinner and the sever said the chips were def NOT GF and were made in a shared fryer.

Get it together, Barcocina! Went down the street to 711 and bought a bag of GF tortilla chips and brought back to the table.

Good, drinks and atmosphere is good here. But very hesitant to believe anything they say about food safety.

Some gluten free options, but their chips are fried in a common frier, but they will bring you unfried chips if you ask for the gf guacamole. Haven’t gotten sick, but I wouldn’t say it’s 100% safe.

Eating gluten free here isn’t super straightforward, but I’m a super sensitive celiac and have never gotten sick so the other reviews are pretty surprising! The majority of their tacos are gluten free — just ask. The carne asada aren’t (they’re served on flour tortillas), but the adobo steak are. And chips are made in a dedicated fryer!

There’s no dedicated menu, but Barcocina isn’t one of those fake Mexican places that puts flour in everything, so it’s overall a hit for me!

"GF" options listed on menu, but "we are unable to guarantee against cross contamination." Menu lacking detail to help you to avoid other allergens (dairy for example).

Got horribly sick here. First round of tacos had corn shells as requested and they double checked which tacos were GF. But second round of the same GF tacos accidentally came out in flour shells. I took a bite and swallowed before I realized what happened :( The restaurant admitted it was their fault and comped the meal, unfortunately the rest of my night was ruined. Not recommended for people w Celiac.
