Tropicaleo

My favorite restaurant in Birmingham! Gluten free menu items are clearly marked and SO GOOD! The kindest staff.

This place is AMAZING!! We stop here on our way to Nashville every time. The Cubano and pulled pork are our favorites. Get the sandwich as a jibarito (plantains used as bread). If I could eat all my sandwiches like this I would. They are great with allergies and make some of the best gluten free food I’ve ever had.

They are very conscious about allergy issues. The food is great!

Staff was great. Had the pretender. Vegan GF patty with pineapple slaw, greens on tostone and fried plantains. The meal was awesome, fresh and absolute perfection.

Ate here with my toddler who has celiac and she enjoyed a wide range of foods (salad, berries, rice, chicken and plantain chips) and had no bad reactions. Very excited that this is an option for our family now.

Been a huge fan of Tropicaleo since their Pizitz days. I love that you can order their sandwiches on fried plantains. Completely gluten free kitchen.

It's nice to have a new restaurant where it's easy to eat gluten free--and have a choice of so much of the menu. Thanks to my several food allergies/sensitivities in addition to gluten, when I can eat at a restaurant my choices are usually very limited. I enjoy actually having menu choices, and that all the choices are so good! The only gluten item on the menu--the bread for the sandwiches--is made for them by a local bakery, not in their own kitchen. Everything else is gluten free! They sell mofongo and jibaritos (a sandwich on plantains fried in coconut oil) and use high quality ingredients.

Very gluten-free friendly menu. Sandwiches can be made with tostones instead of bread to make a gluten-free sandwich! Food is delicious and the staff is easy to talk to.
