Wheat Allergy

I LOVE bartaco! All menu items list all allergens they contain. Staff is well versed in gluten allergies and a handful of others. You have the option to mark any allergies when you order through the QR code. Nothing with gluten or wheat is fried so you can enjoy tacos with fried proteins! All tacos are served on corn tortillas unless flour tortillas are specifically requested. The only things on the menu that has wheat/gluten are the flour tortillas used for quesadillas, churros, key lime pie, tres leches cake, and waffle cones. There is gf chocolate pudding and all the ice creams are gf if you want dessert! This place is amazing and makes eating out feel unrestricted and fun!

The best tacos I’ve ever had! So amazing to be able to have tempura fried fish and shrimp tacos and even my husband, who is not celiac, says they’re the best tacos he has ever had. I could seriously eat them everyday if i lived there n northern VA!

Incredible tacos! Their fryers are all gluten free so was able to order fried fish taco which was so delicious! You order on your phone so most of the service is very hands off but someone came to the table to discuss my allergies (I have multiple) to ensure my food was safe.

Great food and a variety of gluten free options. I like that you can mark a gluten allergy easily when you order. I had the mushroom taco, chips and guacamole, and the cauliflower pistachio taco.

Only concern is the open hot sauces at the table, definitely cross contamination possible there.

I eat here often and have never gotten sick. All of the tacos are gluten free, and you have the option of marking allergies when ordering on the app. This is my favorite place to eat, I usually go to this location but have also been to the one on the wharf and also had great experiences. The fish and pork belly tacos are my favorite, and I also love the plantains.

This place was pretty good. Most of the items were gluten-free, but I had to ask about it, as it wasn't marked on the menu.

I love bar taco but I have gotten sick here after eating the pork belly and the duck. Not sure what did it as those are both gluten free items. Could be cross contamination.

I’ve eaten at this one and the one in King of Prussia, PA. They have the best allergen protocols I think I’ve ever seen at a restaurant. Check out their website. Also, it helps that nearly everything is GF. It was delicious!

New favorite restaurant! The manager happened to be the host on a busy Sunday and while giving us the rundown about the restaurant asked if we had any allergies. He explained how to order, which you do from the table and can easily mark dishes as gluten free or any other allergies you might have! The chips and gauc were delicious and all tacos are on corn tortillas. There are also rice bowls and other menu items. Better than Chipotle for a similar price!

I have been to several locations and this time I was just a little disappointed. Things are not marked on their online ordering system, which is how you order now because they don’t have the paper slips anymore. Our waitress claimed all tacos are gf, which I knew from prior experience isn’t true. The online ordering system does give options for allergies, so you can say you have a gluten allergy which is close, then I put comments on each item indicating celiac disease. I had the chicken and pork belly tacos, street corn (order it off the cob!), and chips and guac. Service is minimal because of COVID and ordering online. I would request more information if you haven’t eaten here before, or ask to speak to a chef to be certain.

This place is one of the absolute best GF options around. I get takeout from here several times a month. The food is delicious, and they completely understand and are conscientious about food allergies & celiac. Most of the menu is GF and they have lots of DF options as well. Huge bonus points for allowing you to specify allergy info in their app, making it really easy to order ahead for pickup.

Staff was knowledgeable and took our son’s celiac disease very seriously. Almost everything on the menu is gluten free. Plus, it was delicious with super friendly service.

What an amazing find! Food is fresh and delicious. Staff was very knowledgeable about celiac. Their menu marks items that HAVE gluten because almost everything is GF. Fish taco is the best I’ve ever had. 10/10

So many options here. I tried the chicken tuna and shrimp tacos. They were all really good, but the tuna was my favorite. Also had the chips and guacamole and the pineapple with tajin. The manager came and checked on us a few times I really enjoyed this place and it was very friendly.

Almost the entire menu is gluten free! They very clearly label the items that aren’t. You can also mark that you have an allergy when you place your order on their ordering system. We’ve dined in and also had takeout and have had a great experience every time!
