Fantastic. Food is delicious and mostly strictly GF menu.
this is my safe place! almost everything here is gluten free except a few items off of the kids menu & the majority of desserts. I usually get a few tacos or a rice bowl & chips & guac. every person I’ve spoke to is knowledgeable on what you can & can’t have & it makes me feel so comfortable!
I’m obsessed w bartaco! Everything if GF except for the kids quesadillas and their desserts. This is one of my go-tos because of how safe and normal I feel! Must go

I had an amazing lunch at this place!! When we sat down, the server went over the whole menu with us and said how they are a celiac-friendly restaurant. Basically everything on the menu is gluten free (including separate fryers), and the only items with gluten are clearly labeled on the menu.
We got nojitos, chips and guac, the ahi tuna rice bowl, and the duck/pork belly/ribeye/chorizo tacos. The duck tacos were so amazing that we actually ordered extras halfway through our meal because we wanted more.
Didn’t get sick at all, staff was very knowledgeable, and food was 10/10. If I lived here, I would absolutely come back.
I have gotten sick here on 3 separate occasions. Do not recommended for a highly sensitive symptomatic celiac. They always assure me that they are able to meet my accommodations, yet I still end up sick for days after. I am unsure of their kitchen practices, I am assuming they are unsafe and there is cross-contact happening. Everything I order and eat should be gluten free, which is why I think it is due to cross-contact. Will not be going back here again.
Awesome experience and food! Highly recommend!
Very allergy friendly, most menu items are gluten free. Also dairy free and egg free options! So friendly and one of the first things they asked was “any allergies?” Food was amazing and everything was made from scratch! Staff was so sweet, JJ, the manager was superb!
Fantastic. Separate gf menu but it really isn’t needed as almost all mains and entrees are gf (and lots of df options too). My wife loved it and loved not having to worry about the food. Only items that had gluten were desserts and the quesadilla on the kids menu. Several options, like warm lobster tacos, had dairy. But there was also a cold lobster taco option. We had a great time.
The food and service were great. The server knew what was gf. We had tacos and street corn and plantains. Food was great and you can get small tacos so you can try multiple flavors.
Staff was so kind, food was amazing and the atmosphere was even better! 99% of the food was gf and very clearly labeled on the menu if it wasn’t
Wow!!! This place is amazing! Pretty much everything is gluten free. They label the gluten containing items. I had the pork belly (amazing), ribeye, warm lobster, and the duck. My favorite were the ones recommended by the staff, which were the duck and pork belly. So good! Felt great after eating here and would definitely go back.
So many gf options and everything is delicious!! We went multiple times as a group and got crispy shrimp tacos (our favorite), buttered lobster taco, pork belly (amazing), kale Caesar salad (yes the crunchy croutons on top are gf), ribeye bowl and taco, and the lobster bowl (more on the spicy side). I got the watermelon basil smash drink and it was very good. My sister and I both have celiac and neither of us got sick the times we have gone! This has been our favorite restaurant on our trips to Nashville. 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone!
My favorite place in Nashville! Every time I come, the server seems very knowledgeable and is able to list the very few gluten-containing items that I should avoid. There are so many great GF options and everything tastes delicious.
Most things on the menu are gluten free, waiter explained which items might be made near gluten so I could avoid.
Waiter was very specific and clear on what were good options for me. Food was great, no reaction.
I eat here all the time, and they do a great job keeping me safe! I am sensitive to cross contamination, and they are always so careful. The food is delicious, the staff is amazing, and it’s in a really fun area to walk around. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer for chips AND their fried fish. I love the Baja fish tacos - they are so good, and it’s hard to find GF fried fish tacos anywhere else. It’s a great restaurant and great for celiac!
Always safe and most items are GF. Anything with gluten is prepared separately! Super safe and we love everything on the menu. We eat here often without any reaction!!
Everything was amazing, and we were told everything on the menu is gluten free expect for the kids menu!! The second quesadilla we ordered was put in as a kids quesadilla though, and we got glutened. I would go back, but I would be very cautious! Stay vigilant out there 🫡
Great location - very gf friendly. Option to flag every order with gluten allergy. Manager assured us that the only things on the menu that are NOT gf are the churros and quesadillas. Churros have their own fryer, so all other food (including fried Baja tacos) are gf.
Amazing tacos! All the food was so good and they were very allergy friendly.
Great food and careful about cross contamination
Great tacos, very safe. Everything is gf and celiac safe except the desserts.
Celiac safe, but extremely overpriced. They do $3-4 street tacos which are about 2-3 bites each. The only thing remotely worth the cost was the chicken rice bowl which was filling but bland, only including brown rice, lightly seasoned verde chicken, and raw bell pepper slices. Basically a $10 bowl of rice with a half cup of chicken. It tastes good, but be prepared for an annoying online ordering experience on your phone and a large check if you’re with a large party.
They were so good with helping on menu items. They told me what I shouldn’t have and I felt at peace here. Plantains, street corn, jerk chicken tacos and Mexican coke are superb
Got pork belly, roasted duck, seasoned steak, and the Baja fish tacos. The Baja fish and pork belly were my favorite. Ended up ordering one more Baja fish taco. Got the large gauc with red and green salsa for an appetizer. With a green margarita. So yummy.
If I could give this place 6 stars I would. I know Bartaco is a chain but it never feels like a chain. I love this place more than life and I’ve never gotten sick from any Bartaco in any location! Always celiac safe ♥
So so yummy, I got the cauliflower bowl and it was very good. Almost everything is GF, the staff is knowledgeable about it all. Separate fryer and grill for gluten-containing items, so I felt safe. Menu has items with gluten marked.
I contacted them before going to see how they handle GF orders and cross-contamination. Here’s the response:
“Thanks so much for reaching out to us! We take allergies very seriously at bartaco.
While our menu is almost entirely gluten-free, you can check out all nutritional/allergy information for specific items at bartaco.com/nutrition. To handle allergies, we follow standard protocols of changing gloves, washing hands, changing tongs, and wiping counters and trays before assembling tacos and not tacos when we are preparing allergy tickets.
When you visit, we suggest you make a team member aware of your allergy prior to your meal as well so they can best assist your requirements and ensure your safety.
Wishing you all the best and please let me know if you have any questions,

Very FRESH & chic place!! Tacos are small bites of HUGE flavor. I am celiac & ordered the avocado, pork belly, sesame ribeye, fish… incredible. My favorite was the glazed pork belly! 😋 Best margaritas I’ve ever had… and I make a MEAN margarita!!😆
So awesome! Amazing food, friendly staff, and a whole menu of safe options. 10/10
Nearly the whole menu is gluten free and these are some GOOD tacos. Popular spot so can have long wait times! Don’t think they take reservations but you can join their waitlist online.
Great experience! Everything is gluten free except kids quesadillas and desserts (though actually you can get gelato in a cup too). Our table shared some ceviche and guacamole and chips and I had the fish, pork belly and shrimp tacos (warning: that one is spicy!) The Baja taco was my favorite and I got a pomegranate limonada drink which was amazing too! Highly recommend.
Always try to eat here when I visit Nashville. Very knowledgeable staff and many gluten free options.
I don't think there is anything I can say about this place that hasn't already been said. I went there last night and it was amazing! I had the fried fish taco, pork belly and grilled shrimp tacos. Two of each, to be exact! I loved the fact that the app let me to note my food allergies and it was wonderful not having to constantly ask "Is this gluten free?" I can't wait to eat here again.
These are some of the best tacos I’ve ever had! Almost the entire menu is gluten free and the kitchen is very safe here.
Almost everything is GF & very tasty. The vibe is energetic & fun. My daughter has celiac & loves she can share food with everyone at the table. * make sure you put your name ob the wait list (call or from their website
Omg! They are the most accommodating restaurant I’ve been to in quite some time. The entire restaurant is gluten free however I have other allergies in addition to gluten. They went through EVERY item on the menu to see what I could eat. Amazing service! The best restaurant! And the food was fantastic! Thank you Bartaco!
Enjoyed the FRIED fish tacos and guac and chips. Simply amazing!!
Excellent food. Server knew what celiac was. Separate fryer. Most of the menu is GF. Good drinks. No reaction!
The staff was very knowledgeable and said that only a few things like the churros, all deserts, and kids quesadillas had gluten in them. Everything else was safe to eat and prepared separately. Everything was very good and I didn’t get sick.
Great place! Staff was amazing and explained what I couldn’t have(only 4 things). They also told me that they take allergies and celiac very seriously and take extra measures to make sure you have a good experience. Not to mention, the food was outstanding! I would definitely feel good about going here again.
This place rocked and took my celiac allergy very serious. All food was GF and full of flavor
Dedicated GF
EVERYTHING is gluten free and dairy free on request. AMAZING
95% of menu is gluten free and was nice to be able to have corn tortillas fried in gluten free fryer without worrying about cross contamination along with the rest of the meal!
Waitress know what celiac was and the entire staff was well informed on allergies, most if not all of the menu is gluten free. Would highly recommend for anyone living in or visiting Nashville
All ordering on the app, select your allergies when ordering. The tacos were fantastic, even the battered fish is gf!! Service was fast, the environment was fantastic!
Try the pork belly tacos! They are delicious. As many have stated, the gf selections are extensive and I trust that there is not cc given the precautions taken. I have been a long time fan of the Atlanta location and it’s great to see that Nashville holds up.
I used to work here and they are extremely knowledgeable about gluten! They have a separate fryer FOR gluten—the rest are gluten free. Almost the entire menu is gluten free and it’s so good!!!! Highly recommend
Reviews of this Chain
Great food and great ambiance. There’s only a few things on the menu that we CANNOT have so the selection is amazing!
Had a great lunch here! Almost the entire menu is gluten free - they actually mark what HAS gluten vs what is without. I got esquites which was just okay but the tacos were great. Duck taco was delish, pork belly was amazing, and the brussel sprouts it taco was surprisingly my favorite!
Easiest location ever to dine with a gluten allergy. Highly recommend.
Almost everything on the menu is gluten free.
I’ve enjoyed going to Bar Taco for years, long before I needed to go gluten free; so happy to be able to still go somewhere I’ve always liked. Everything on the menu is gluten-free except for a few dessert items. The tacos and drinks are delicious, service is quick and friendly. Also recommend the plantains and street corn. Not too busy, but you can make a reservation or snag a waitlist spot online.
Always go to for us at the Warf! Tons of options and well trained staff.
