My fiancé and I got violently ill after eating here.

I really enjoyed the guacamole and fish tacos. Everything tasted so good. The fish tacos were so good, I ordered 3 more to go. I will be back very soon.

Such a great Mexican spot! Authentic, cheap, and fully gluten free. Everything on the menu is delicious, so you can’t go wrong. Drinks are great too! Would definitely recommend!

Asked the waitress who confirmed all the food is gluten free. We had chips and queso, chicken quesadilla, pork/bean/cheese tetelas, quesabirria beef taco, fish taco, ranchero beans, and rice. Everything was delicious, but the fish taco stole the show! So flavorful and fresh. Definitely recommend!

Our family loved this restaurant!
We went to Taqueria el Lado three times in the week we were visiting DC. We stayed in a VRBO a few blocks away, chosen for its proximity to this restaurant as well as Rise Bakery, and we were so glad. The taqueria offered a variety of great options that suited all four of us (parents and two boys ages 10 and 12). It was also a great spot to have dinner with friends. The restaurant has a nice vibe — peppy, nicely decorated, not too formal, friendly. It’s great to go to a GF restaurant you can really enjoy, in addition to being fed safely.
A review of the other location of Taqueria el Lado suggested that the battered fish has beer in the batter. We checked about this with a manager and she said that it does not (at least not at this location). Our celiac son is not symptomatic, so we trust the safety based on other reviews and representations from the manager.

Great food and service. I arrived on the early side and was seated immediately. I ate by myself and ordered chips with guacamole, a fish taco, and the bean and cheese tetelas. Everything was tasty and totally safe. I would absolutely come back here.

This was the best Mexican food I’ve had since my celiac diagnosis in 2019! They told me everything was gluten free. Their guacamole and salsa was delicious! I got two tacos—one chicken and one beef and the flavors were outstanding. I also got side orders of rice and ranchero beans and the beans were so flavorful. My friend got the vegan barbacoa taco and she said it wasn’t her favorite. But honestly, everything I had was good. I highly recommend this place.

This place is great! Everything is gf except the beer. Their margaritas are awesome and I could have anything. I have tried most tacos, the chorizo quesadilla and the been and cheese Tetalas. It’s also nice to be able to have chips and guac with everyone else. Love it!

This is a regular spot for me! I think they have beer for drinking but everything else is gf. Chips and queso! 😍😍 my stomach sometimes doesn’t like if I get some of the greasier stuff bc it’s generally sensitive to everything, but I’ve never had a glutening here. It’s also the easiest drunk (gf) food nearby and is open late on weekends. We stan.

Only downside to this place was that the back area where we sat had loud music and even louder fans (it was a very hot day). But food and service were great, and we were told that entire menu is gluten-free.
