Mexican Taqueria with a Latin American Twist on Bath Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

On safety—At Cantina del Barrio, we take gluten cross-contact very seriously to ensure everyone can enjoy our delicious tacos without worry. Our team is well-trained, having completed level two and three food hygiene courses, specifically focusing on allergen handling and minimising cross-contamination risks. One key aspect of our precautionary measures is having a designated prep area solely for dishes that contain gluten. This separation helps us maintain the integrity of gluten-free dishes. Additionally, our staff rigorously adhere to hand washing protocols and change gloves frequently to further reduce the risk of cross-contact. As our owner is a coeliac, we understand firsthand the significance of avoiding cross-contamination and are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable dining experience for everyone. So, when you dine with us, rest assured we're doing our utmost to keep those gluten worries at bay.

Advised by staff that everything was gluten free but they also made sure this was noted on the order. The food is fantastic and the service very good. Can get very busy at the weekend but it is really good food.

From the owner


We prioritise delivering a safe & delightful dining experience for those steering clear of gluten. We're dedicated to making our offerings accessible to everyone, especially those with dietary restrictions like gluten sensitivity or coeliac disease.

Our staff completed extensive training, achieving level two & three food hygiene certifications. These certifications include allergen handling & effective measures to minimise the risk of cross-contamination. Furthermore, our owner being coeliac, has greatly influenced our menu, with 95% of our offerings being gluten-free.

To uphold the integrity of our gluten-free options, we've designated a prep area exclusively for gluten dishes. Our team strictly follows hand washing protocols & changes gloves frequently to further mitigate any risks.

We strongly believe in transparency & open communication. We always recommend reaching out to us beforehand, especially if you have specific concerns about our menu or potential changes. As a relatively new restaurant, we're continually evolving. While we take every precaution to maintain our gluten-free options, it's essential to verify details to ensure your peace of mind.

On our current menu, we offer a diverse selection of delightful dishes that are gluten-free. However, a few items can't be modified to be gluten-free, namely our Empanadas, Breakfast Burrito, & our Churros Dessert.

In addition to our main menu, we regularly feature specials. We take great care in marking these specials as either gluten-free or adaptable to be gluten-free, allowing you to explore exciting flavours without worry.

Your health & satisfaction are our top priorities. When you dine with us, rest assured we're doing everything within our power to offer a delightful & safe experience. Feel free to inquire about our gluten-free offerings or any concerns you might have.

¡Viva la comida sin gluten! 🌮✨
