Delicious!! The chicken was roasted to perfection and their sauces are all incredible. I was really impressed with the portion sizes of the sides, guac and tortilla chips. Oh and the tortilla chips were SO fresh. All around delicious food and will be a staple gluten free restaurant for my husband and I!

Sadly, I couldn’t eat the food. While everything is GF they advertise vegan dishes that are not vegan. And despite my telling them in multiple times that I can’t have dairy, and having it written on the ticket, I was sent away with a food tray covered in cheese. I was very disappointed.

Love this place! We eat here often and every time it's so delicious and flavorful. Never had a reaction.

I've had the green bowl from here a couple times and crave it, it's so delicious! Everything on the menu sounds amazing, so I'll be back! Love that they are dedicated GF! I thoroughly enjoy when you can order anything off the menu and not have to worry.

Chicken was very juicy and paired well with the cabbage. Homemade tortillas and great potatoes! We will be back.
Dedicated GF
The chicken is so flavorful and tender! Not to mention the prices and portions are very good. The tortillas were homemade, warm and fresh and paired perfectly with the chicken to do DIY tacos. Highly recommend the chips and guac as well. We have been here several times since discovering this place and will definitely be back soon.
Dedicated GF
The chicken is delicious and moist. We got two sides, black beans and cabbage. Plus extra handmade corn tortillas. All gluten-free and dairy-free. (one or two of the bowls have cheese, you can ask for it to be omitted.)
Friends who are keto, vegetarian, or vegan can definitely find things to eat.
There’s indoor eating or outdoor eating at picnic tables. We opted for the latter, because the weather was so gorgeous. Delicious food, relaxing time… We will return again and again.

Always stellar. They had nachos for a short time last year and they were the best I’ve ever had in my life. Unfortunately they don’t have them anymore. But everything is great including the bowl which is one of the best Mexican bowls in the city.
Dedicated GF
Insanely good food and cheap margs. Loved the bowl and black beans. Also, try every salsa! 100% gluten-free, love to see it.

Everything on menu was GF. Great food.

Everything is gluten free! The chicken is amazing. I suggest an extra order of tortillas. 😁
Dedicated GF
Delicious rotisserie chicken dominates the menu: they do one thing, and they do it well. Three hungry adults barely finished a whole chicken with two larges sides. Staff told us that the chicken, all the sides, and the tortillas were all GF.

Great wholesome food that’s 100% gluten free. They have pazole in the fall and winter, best soup ever. The chicken is always moist and delicious and the sides are fantastic.
Dedicated GF
Always delicious! 100% gluten free. Highly recommend. The chicken is amazing. The rice bowls are great too - large portions. Our favorite slaw.

I ate here a couple of weeks ago and I can’t wait to go back! Delicious! Get the potatoes! And so nice not having to worry about gluten.

The food here was good and the sauces were tasty.

Bowl was great. Tortillas are made of masa and are GF.

We (party of three... one with Celiac, one with a gluten intolerance, one gluten-lover) ordered a whole chicken, rice, and black beans and it was phenomenal. It came with tortillas, cabbage, and salsas. We probably could have ordered the half, but we don't mind some leftovers. Such a great dinner and experience. Everything there was gluten free except for the beer our gluten-lover enjoyed.
Dedicated GF
Insanely flavorful, got the 1/4 chicken with the frijoles negroes and the rice. So good and the restaurant itself is adorable and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable!
Dedicated GF
Very tasty food, they can accommodate minor changes to their dishes to make them GF and are very aware and careful to avoid cross contamination. Superb service!
I absolutely love this place. The food is all gluten free, and tasty as hell. The vibe of the place is cool too, and the staff is friendly and fun. Great value as well, I always leave with some leftovers for later.
Dedicated GF
Amazing food. When I checked with the cashier he said they don’t have anything with gluten and I don’t have to worry about any cross contamination.
Dedicated GF
Great food and no need to worry about cross contamination!
Dedicated GF
This place was awesome!!! We had the lime chicken soup and tortillas. Healthy and delicious!
Dedicated GF
My daughter has celiac disease and loves this place. Last two times we have stopped here, though, she has gotten extremely sick within 24 hours. I am thinking there is a spice or something that is not gf and they are unaware of it. Sadly, we will not be going back again. If you have celiac be careful!
Everything was delicious. Not a ton of options but definitely worth stopping. Super cute outdoor seating as well.

Everything we had was delicious, and they had a great patio for safe outdoor dining.

The only gluten in the restaurant is beer. We eat here about once a week bc it’s that good. The green bowl is my favorite, and they really shove that bowl chock full. It feels healthy and tasty. They also have a nice patio for your pandemic summer days.
Dedicated GF
The chicken is out of this world delicious, the cabbage and all of the sides are amazing. The tortillas and hand made and the salsas are also delicious.
Dedicated GF
The chicken and the beans are so tasty. Everything is celiac safe except I believe they carry a couple non gf beers. This is definitely one of our favorite safe eateries.
Dedicated GF
One of my favorite fast and casual dinners in Portland. Menu is very simple - chicken and a few sides, a la carte or combined in a bowl, often some specials like elotes or soup or guacamole. They have a salsa bar with a few good sauces, escabache, limes and grilled peppers.
There's a nice little bar with tequial, mezcal and rum, plus margs. The patio is great when it's nice out.
Fully GF - I appreciate their homemade corn tortillas.
Great food. Menu states nothing has gluten in the place except the beer.
Ate here three days ago. Loved the chicken, cole slaw and tortillas. Brother raved about the Red Bowl! Very good!
Delicious chicken and sides! Fully gluten free restaurant /celiac safe
Fantastic staff and service. Completely gluten free facility with casual atmosphere. Excellent Pollo!
The chicken is delicious! Also, tried the tortillas, rice, and potatoes. All were great! I appreciate that the restaurant is entirely GF. They do indicate on the menu that the beer is not GF.
Amazing food with classic flavors. Friendly staff and a great place. Highly recommend!
Really nice people. We’re vegan, so I haven’t tried the chicken, but we happily fill up on beans, rice, and slaw.
