My wife and I ate here after looking for a good Gluten Free restaurant in town, and it was perfect with tons of options! Wonderful tacos and soups, and great Margaritas as well :)
Had celiac specifically marking on the menu indicating what was safe vs. just gluten free which was AMAZING however not that many options were celiac safe (1 app, 1 taco, 1 bowl, 2 enchiladas and tamales were only options) food was good tho!
Menu has items marked as gf and celiac friendly. Staff is knowledgeable about gf/not gf items plus food is delicious.
Notes
Ask for the gluten free menu.

Menu is marked for both GF and also celiac safe!
No gluten free menu but everything is clearly marked, our server was knowledgeable and the food was great. I’ve been there with family several times and never got hurt.
Food is clearly marked between gluten free and celiac recommended. Food was just alright though and portion sizes are small compared to other places. Server was knowledgeable about allergies but honestly service wasn’t the best. Hard to get anyone’s attention and was left alone for too long.
Menu well labeled, but if you need without cross contamination, most of the GF labeled items no longer apply. All use a shared frier.
Menu clearly marked, GF and celiac safe symbols! Steak tacos were good. Unfortunately chips weren’t safe. Put your name on the waitlist online!
Amazing! Everything is clearly marked and they specify celiac safe. Will return.
The absolute best Mexican food we’ve had! The menu is marked with GF options but also marked Celiac safe and the staff are knowledgeable. The chips aren’t GF due to cross contamination but I had enchiladas for the first time in years and they were amazing!
Went for dinner and had the Barbacoa tacos. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. I asked about their chips and salsa being GF and the kitchen couldn’t guarantee they were fully GF (due to cross-contamination from chicken tenders being fried in there).
They indicate GF items on their menu as well as Celiac-safe options…have never seen a restaurant do that! :)
There were just a couple Celiac options but the tacos were yummy! Corn tortillas were warm and fresh.
Definitely bring your own chips as the chips are NOT safe to eat, thankfully the staff told me before ordering. Ordered the corn barbacoa tocos and while they didn’t hold together well, by far the best flavor I’ve ever had in barbacoa! The avocado crema was DF as well and complimented perfectly. A great authentic stop, just not very many options.
Celiac safe options and upscale food. A lot of gluten free options but somewhat limited celiac options.
Excited to find both GF and Celiac options. Delicious food.
They have specific items on their menu labeled Celiac-safe! I am a very sensitive Celiac and did not get sick here. Our waiter was wonderful and I felt completely safe eating here.
Ate here twice on our vacation in Estes park area . Excellent food and many celiac choices. I had the vegan enchiladas one night and the tres enchiladas another. Neither meal was a disappointment. Chips and salsa were also great !!
Excellent gf selection with a specific celiac safe tag for menu items. Gold standard gluten free in my opinion.
Our waitress seemed knowledgeable about cross-contamination and separate kitchen prep spaces, and when my food was brought out the runner confirmed that he was giving me a celiac order. I got the enchiladas and they were incredible. I didn't get sick at all! Their menu has gluten free items marked separately from celiac safe items, so they really seem to know what they're doing!
GF items are clearly marked on the menu, and they distinguish between GF and Celiac safe, what a dream! Had the chicken tacos, delicious and a hearty portion. Avoid the chips, shared fryer.
The menu is clearly marked! Not just GF, but celiac friendly. I had the soft tacos and an avocado margarita! Super yummy! Portions are plentiful! Dulce was our waitress and she is remarkable! So patient and kind with my questions about the menu.
My little one cannot eat gluten. We ate here and he ordered a GF burrito bowl. I ordered the same and it was good. He had no reactions at all, so in my book that is a huge win!
May 2023. Not impressed. As other reviews state, you cannot have the chips. Which you have to pay for chips and salsa $4. The salsa was really good, and hot! Bring your own chips with you. The menu clearly marks gluten free, celiac, vegetarian, peanut, etc. covers all the allergies. Which is good. I had the 3 enchiladas and they were just ok. No flavor. The corn shells tasted stale. I ended up eating the meat inside the bison and pork. The chicken was chunks, overdone and tough. Rice was not good. Meal was $13. Our waitress was terrible. I asked for some limes and she brought both limes and lemons because “I don’t know the difference” (her words). Others love it, so it’s up to you.
Great food, not everything on the menu is GF even though marked if you have celiac, the chips are in same fryer as an example. But the waitstaff clearly understood. I had the carne asada with rice and beans along with three carnitas tacos on corn tortillas. Very good and waitstaff clearly knew.
Great food and a great GF menu w/ lots of options!
Excellent! Loved the food! So many GF options! The bison enchiladas were delicious and pleasantly spicy. The guacamole was very good, too. Highly recommend this place!
The food here was amazing. Several choices for gluten-free foods! I love that there was local meat also.
Lots of gluten free and Celiac options. Good reviews and other food that’s not GF looks amazing too! Definitely recommend.
Dedicated GF
Everything is marked and food was good. Super busy so be ready for a wait.
Really good food! I got the bison enchiladas and they were delicious. The beans were especially delicious. You won want to miss out on those. Apparently they don't have a dedicated fryer, so no chips and salsa if you are celiac, but the menu is well marked which GF AND celiac, which was helpful. Staff was great. Made a note when I ordered that I had to eat GF which I always appreciate. Great place to eat!
Great food and service. Plentiful Gluten free and Celiac options. They do not make reservations. Call ahead of time and place your name on the wait list.
My husband and I ate here on Sunday 8/28/22. I am a celiac and had lots of choices. I had tres enchiladas. They were great!
Good food, don't have a dedicated fryer so no chips if you are celiac like me.
Bison Enchiladas and Barbacoa Tacos were amazing. Street corn was good but not great.
No reactions so far.
Put on a waitlist and took a walk down the main drag to window shop. Got a text message rather quickly. Lovey table out back by the river. Excellent food. Great service. This is not a toco joint so expect prices to reflect that. Would definitely recommend for celiacs
Had a great meal here - tres enchiladas were marked “celiac friendly” and were delicious. I loved that the menu distinguished between GF and Celiac Friendly.
It’s hard to find decent gluten free options in tourists towns and it was nice to find this place today. The menu is marked not only gluten free but also celiac safe options also!! The service was amazing! The food was tasty and very filling. If you’re coming to Estes and are a celiac, mark this place down.
Our group of 5 included 1 Celiac and 1 vegetarian (and a mix of kids and adults). Everyone was extremely happy with the choices and delicious food!
I ate here twice on our trip and didn’t get sick at all. Food was amazing. Very knowledgeable staff, clearly marked menu for celiac safe items
Great Mexican food; staff were knowledgeable; the menu lists items that are gf, and also specifies celiac-friendly.
Wonderful experience here. Food was reasonably priced and tasted amazing. Celiac safe items were marked on the menu as well as GF only items. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable as well. Would highly recommend.
Great experience. Menu items clearly marked gluten free & celiac friendly. Staff is great. A nice variety of foods to select from. I loved it so much we went back a 2nd time.
Super knowledgeable about celiac safe! It’s labeled on the menu and all of our q’s were answered! Lunch was delicious - we got tacos with a side of beans and rice! The tacos are really filling! (I chose to pass on the chips here bc they are fried in the same fryer as non GF items.) The restaurant is cute and on the river!
It was amazing!!!!!!! The food and service were fabulous. I got the enchiladas and cheese dip! The salsa was the best I’ve had in awhile though it was spicy ha.
They have celiac options as well as GF options.
Had lunch and drinks yesterday! Matthew was awesome and we are going back for dinner tonight!
We ate at Ed's Cantina over Mother's Day weekend and I would highly recommend it. My son is celiac. The staff was quite knowledgeable and the menu was clearly labeled with lots of options.
Ed’s has a menu marked for gluten sensitivity and also for celiac. This is the only place I eat when I’m in Estes. Service is always wonderful and friendly. The pazole and bison enchiladas are excellent! Be careful with the chips as they are not cooked in a safe fryer.
We've been there 4 times now. Menu is great. They have gluten free or celiac friendly on the menu. The celiac friendly items are made in a separate area. We have always gotten the bison enchiladas and they are very good. It's a hit or miss if we get a good waiter. They usually do pretty good. One time out of 4 have we not been happy with our waitter understanding our order.
I was excited to see they had both gluten free and celiac options marked!
They have GF options and Celiac options clearly marked on the menus. I ordered the pasole and the carnitas tacos. Both were very good. The service was good. I did not have any problems after eating here. I recommend it to anyone who needs to eat GF.
