Nopalito

Top tier every time. Worth the wait in person and incredibly flavorful options for delivery. Allergens listed where they exist and most items are gluten free. Where they are not, it’s clearly marked. The salsa macha is insanely delicious on everything.

Most of the menu is gluten free and the drinks were refreshing. We got the carnitas quesadilla and it was MASSIVE. Only 2 items used flour tortillas but everything else was made with homemade corn tortillas.

Yummy food and definitely celiac safe. I am super sensitive to cross contamination and I didn’t get a stomachache. The chips are safe too because everything that goes in the fryer is GF! The servers are knowledgeable about celiac and will tell you which items (a small select few) that are not gf.

I went to the Broderick st location, and the food made me incredibly sick. I tried the Totopos con chile and pork quesadilla (quesadilla roja). I asked the waiter multiple times to cook mine in a separate pan, he didn’t really understand about cross contamination so kept going back to the chef, but eventually came back and said they cook the corn tortillas separately. I don’t know if that’s true. I got so sick that it feels like this was probably more than just cross contamination. Disappointing because it was really good, but I won’t be back.

I saw the reviews here and got very excited for so many options but felt disappointed when I tried to order. I should say I went to their main, dine-in restaurant on Broderick Street and not the to-go window on 18th. The menu is different at the dine-in restaurant. Many of the dishes I expected to be gluten free (because they often are naturally gf) were not. I was advised that most of them could not be made gluten free which I appreciated the waiter saying but also felt surprised because swapping out flour for corn tortillas seemed like all it would take for some of these dishes. Some of the dishes I expected to be gluten free that weren’t included mole poblano, carnitas (and all dishes containing it), some tacos, and flan. I ended up getting a quesadilla they made with a corn tortilla filled with cheese, chiles, and chicharrónes. They were the crispy kind (like the store-bought kind, fried pork rinds) rather than the Colombian style (sort of like a super thick piece of bacon that’s been fried). I’m not a big fan of crispy chicharrones. So, I didn’t love my meal either.

I had really high expectations when people said almost everything was gf. And that just wasn’t the case at the actual restaurant. Maybe it is at the to-go window. Either way, I felt disappointed.

The menu is almost all gluten free, however they have an item with a wheat Tortilla they put in the main grill. I was told this in Oct 2021. I asked them to make my quesadilla separate, so they made it in a pan. Make sure to ask about this, it is a possible source of cc. Food is really good.

I’m extremely sensitive celiac, and don’t take any chances, but I felt comfortable eating here. The entire menu is gluten free, except for the mole sauce, which they keep separate. I asked the server to still warn the chef about celiac and cross contamination (change gloves, clean pan, etc.). I will say that you order online (at least during Covid times), so you have to annotate that warning in your order as well. I’ve been here twice - the first time, the manager who I spoke with was honestly quite rude about me asking him to talk to the chef and give a heads up. It took a lot of back and forth to finally get him to. That being said, I did feel safe eating and had a good meal with no issues after the fact. The second time I ate here, the server was incredibly kind and immediately went to tell the chef. Disappointing treatment first go around, but the second time was great.

Our go to place for a really nice, reliable gluten free dinner. The food is delicious and the menu is almost entirely naturally gluten free. The staff are incredibly knowledgable and accommodating. Update as of 2020, their carnitas no longer contain beer making them a delicious new gluten free option. We're fans and have never had any issue here with cross contamination.

My server was able to show me on the menu which items were safe for GF (none of the pork dishes are safe because they cook the pork in beer). Plenty to choose from, including totopos, and the food is delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Most is gluten free. No gluten free menu.

Relaxing environment. Great natural light. Lots of naturally gluten free menu items. Most utilize corn. Reasonably priced. Two for lunch came to $36.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great good and service! Spicy flavorful food.

They use corn tortilla's for most of their dishes, great gluten free options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Almost everything was GF, the waiter was knowledgeable about what wasn’t, and informed me there is a separate fryer. Food was good, nothing mind blowing. Nice to have a Mexican place I can eat at, since most authentic taquerias are so small that I’m too afraid of cross contamination to try them :(

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have been eating here gluten free for years. LOVE everything about both locations.

Celiac friendly?

Great food! Great staff! The food was delicious and flavorful. I have Celiacs and I felt safe. My husband even spilled his drink and they quickly replaced it with out us having to order another one. We will definitely visit again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Somewhat knowledgable but lots of cross contamination means there ended up being very few options.

Celiac friendly?

Most item on the menu are gluten free. I had the Huevos de Caja and did not have any reaction whatsoever and am a very sensitive celiac. I would recommend.
