I only discovered Barrio about a month ago, but I’ve been there three times already and I cannot wait to go back! I was diagnosed with Celiac before I turned 2, so I never got the experience of eating endless baskets of warm chips and salsa before the meal is brought out until I came here! They have a GF fryer and the complementary salsa is only a little bit spicy. There are tons of taco toppings that are GF, but I would recommend the spice-rubbed chicken as it is tender and delicious. They also offer GF appetizers including queso. I would HIGHLY recommend Barrio to those with Celiac and anyone in general.
Fun little taco joint
Get out the pencil and paper to check off what you want in your tacos
Good food, no issues as the wait staff had a clear understanding of celiacs
Most of the menu can be made GF with corn tortillas. Chips are fried in a dedicated fryer. Very knowledgeable staff and tasty food

Love the food here. They are very good with my celiac. Have never had a problem with cross contamination here.
Our server was AMAZING and took me through all of their cross contamination precautions as well as bringing me my food separately to make sure nothing got mixed up. Food was delicious and gluten free options are listed on the menu.
I went to the Kent location and the queso and chips are gluten free and the menu is clearly marked, they take allergies seriously and make delicious food! I don’t generally enjoy Mexican food but somehow can’t get enough of this place, I seriously recommend this place, good food for a good price especially for gluten free, servers and nice and understand what needs to be done for celiacs, 10/10
A new addition to Kent! Has an extensive gluten free menu and the staff is very knowledgeable!

Everything was clearly marked GF and the waitress also asked if it was an allergy. Had no symptoms and I would eat here again.
Food was not very impressive. Tacos were quite dry as was the chilaquiles for brunch. Menu labeled GF items and we could write “Celiac” on order slip.
Been there, twice.
Cold food, twice.
Bad reactions, twice
I’ve eaten here 4-5 times. I’ve generally had a good experience, though there are inconsistencies about what is gf on the menus. And some things are marked gf that have potential cross contamination issues, such as one of the quesos. However, the last time I ate there, they brought out half my tacos in a flour tortilla. I had told the server about needing gluten free and even wrote it boldly on top of the taco order form. I informed the manager, and she apologized but didn’t seem very concerned. My advice is to check all your tacos before you start eating them and make sure to verify they know it is gluten free while ordering and when it arrives. You may also want to ask specifically that the person making the tacos changes their gloves.
They had everything labeled on the menu what was gluten free and vegan if you are vegan. Very good tacos, I got 1 crunchy and on soft corn. Loved them both.
