Love this place! Everything is GF so it’s safe and delicious. This is one of my go-to restaurants, I highly recommend it. The staff is also knowledgeable and able to accommodate many other dietary restrictions too so it’s a good place for mixed dietary friends to go together.

While the food is not labeled as GF ALL their menu is GF. Super knowledgeable staff that even mentioned one sauce contained soy in case I had other allergies. Tasty food, great mix of flavors and good sized portions.

Wait staff were very nice when I mentioned I have celiac and they explained that they don’t have anything on the menu or in the kitchen that has gluten. And I had absolutely delicious pork belly!

We went to the Mezcalaria location. The food was good but not great. They were able to accommodate my gf vegan daughter though so that is amazing. We were also able to sit outside on their very large covered patio. The wait was long, they seemed understaffed like a lot of places these days. The wait person was very helpful and fun. No gluten except in one beer. Would go back!

All the food is gluten free, though they serve beer. Was delicious, though their take on aprepas is crunchy and too small to hold the filling.

We had the food delivered. Amazing flavors, we tried a couple of the arepas dishes, the queso, beans, guacamole and the chicken salad. Everything was so good! One small thing, the arepas were a little tough, but that didn't matter because the taste was wonderful.

I left a note on their ordering site saying I couldn't have gluten and to call me if I had been misremembering that they were dedicated gluten-free (it is not marketed on their website). They called confirming that yes everything is gluten free, and even made sure I realized one of the sauces had soy, just in case I had other food sensitivities.

The food is wonderful and travels well as takeout. Savory and satisfying but with light, citrusy sauces that balance it out.

This is a great place to go if you want great flavors but have trouble with spicy food. They also have a kids menu with plainer flavor options.

My first choice when I find myself in Portland and need a safe meal.

So good! Confident that all the food is GF. Just not sure about the drinks (I.e. they probably have beer on tap).

I haven’t seen this on a review before so I wanted to let everyone know - they aren’t certified gluten free because the corn they source is from a facility that also produces wheat. I ate here and didn’t have a reaction and all the other reviewers seem to agree - it’s safe. There is just an off chance of cross contamination because of the supplier.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Loved this place! Great food and fantastic atmosphere. The flavors were so great, just wish I could live closer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They told me it was a gluten-free facility other than the beer! Excellent atmosphere! Good selection of ciders. If you have a big appetite, skip the bowls and go with the plate. The bowls are pretty small for the price. I had the steak plate. It was pretty good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was very acidic and salty without much to balance those flavors. Environment was really cool with a covered patio with fire pit. So we may come back and try something different. Or just hang out for drinks.

One of my fave GF places to eat or drink at. They have a variety of spaces and are fairly classy so I've done well with dates here.

I liked the bowls and arepa bowls but lately the nachos and arepitas have my attention! Affordable and delicious. Also there's a full bar with lots of mezcal and tequila. Patio is great when it's warm but a bit chilly in the winter, so dress wisely.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

100% gf restaurant. Food was decent, but wasn’t wowed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Cannot recommend this place enough! We are local to Portland and go here regularly. Almost everything on their menu is safe, and it’s easy to also get dairy-free. Their sangria is the bomb, and I love their arepas! But the coolest part is the amazing patio out back. With a fire pit and a convenient bar, it’s the perfect hangout spot anytime of year. We frequently choose this restaurant for casual get-togethers. It checks all the boxes!

100% gluten free facility, amazing food and great margaritas

Amazing food!! This place is definitely going to be one of my regular places when I make it to Portland. And I love how friendly the staff is.

The food was pretty good. The plantain starter was cold on the inside so clearly not freshly fried which was disappointing. The El Diablo meat was really rich but delicious! The smoked pollo and brisket were both well-seasoned but a bit dry in the bowl without any sort of sauce or extra veggie. The chorizo is the only thing made off site that they can't guarantee is Celiac-safe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious food, great cocktails, festive atmosphere. Fairly meat-heavy menu, but some good vegetarian options too.

Amazing! Walking in it just smelled so good. Friendly staff, cool atmosphere, great food. Everything is gluten free. I'll be back!

Teote rules. Awesome food. Good atmosphere. Celiac safe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free facility and no soy in anything. We asked for dairy on the side and they didnt butter our Aparitas, and gave us a bowl on the side. So aware and informational. The owner can’t have gluten so he gets it! The smoked Apollo chicken , and El Diablo pork are the best tasting meats I’ve ever had. We had the el Cana platter. Incredible

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything gluten free except the beer

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eaten here many times over the last few years whenever I visit PDX, and every time is delicious and I’ve never had a reaction. The owner himself can’t eat gluten, so he takes it seriously. There is a disclaimer on the website about possible cross-contamination from the masa production side, but there’s never been an issue for me and I think it’s more a CYA than a real risk; everything at the restaurant is totally gluten-free. So good, non-GF people I introduce this place to keep coming back. Agua frescas are delicious and the smoky queso dip is the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing Good! We have eaten there several times and I have never gotten sick. Love their food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

As a celiac, based on the reviews we intended to avoid the arepas just in case. However, we asked exactly which masa brands they used and were told a mix of P.A.N. and Bob's Red Mill, both of which we knew to be safe. We had the Teote plate with smoky pollo and it was unique and delicious and I did not get glutened. This is a casual place. Would absolutely go there again.

Great spot with fun atmosphere. We ordered the La Cena which was a huge platter with buttered arepas, choice of meats, rice/beans, cabbage slaw and salad. Absolutely delicious! Great value for high quality food. No gluten aside from beer in the place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food, fast friendly service. The whole restaurant is 100% gluten free. I haven't tried the arepas yet because masa corn flour is typically contaminated with gluten. The restaurant explains this on their site and says proceed with caution. Super impressive because most people don't know that. I had the ama bowl with smoky pollo. It was delicious and I felt great after. I have celiac and I will definitely be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Was so good I have eaten here twice and will be going back for more before I leave the area. Ordered take out. Also, they are dedicated and definitely celiac safe as I am extremely sensitive and had no reaction either time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have Celiac and no reaction. Of course I told the waitor like I do at any restaurant and he told me I could eat anything on the menu. Their food is amazing and they have many gluten free ciders. Plus many dishes can be made dairy free or vegan. Will eat here again for sure.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Horrible! This place food tastes like dog meat. I woke up sick this morning. Expensive for the food that you get. I really wanted to like this place but it was horrible. Not sure if anyone who worked there was from Venezuela, everyone I saw was white. Just a pretentious Portland restaurant banking on the gluten free fad without knowledge of what celiacs is.

This place is great! We stayed in Portland for 8 days and visited here twice - we had to go back for more!
