Gluten-Free at Taco Bell
Fast Food Restaurant
Taco Bell does not have a gluten free menu, but they do have an allergen guide on their website. Please speak to the person taking your order regarding potential cross-contact risks.
I usually get the chicken cantina bowl with no problems
I have a gluten intolerance. The crunchy tacos (regular or Dorito) are gluten free (regular or supreme). Though the chips don’t say GF, they don’t contain any wheat ingredients.
The Cantina chicken taco is rated GF on their app as well as the crunchy tacos and the hot sauces. Not sure if Taco Bell is celiac friendly, but the chicken taco was to die for!!
I let the person taking my order of a gluten allergy and they made sure to let the person preparing the food to change gloves and minimize cross contamination. She assured me that the corn taco shells for the crunchy tacos are packaged separately and are kept separately in the heating box.
Also, when the workers that prepped the food handed it to me, they made sure to tell me that they were careful and that they placed the crunchy tacos in a separate bag from the rest of the order.
So far, I’ve had the regular crunchy tacos, the taco supremes, the pintos n cheese with tortilla chips and I haven’t had any reactions but then I play it safe and ask the staff to switch out their gloves.
They have very few gluten free options like hard tacos and rice and beens. But the food is all crossed contaminated and they don’t know how to keep everything separate. When made aware of the food allergy they changed their gloves and sanitize the food station but the ingredients are all contaminated because I still got sick. I know if I didn’t walk in and went through drive through they wouldn’t have changed their gloves or wipe down the station.
The Doritos locos tacos are delicious, and they are good about changing gloves. Workers do not know what wheat is, or what flour is made of. They said none of the menu items contained wheat. Which is far from accurate. Cross contamination is a high possibility. Hands and face swelled within an hour of eating and gut issues later in the day.
Hubby forgot Fire Sauce is the not GF. He was sick for a week. Putting this review to remind others.
I got a steak power bowl and didn’t have any kind of reaction!!
I spoke to the gentleman preparing my food and explained that I had celiac disease and the importance of not cross contamination for me. I carefully chose what I was eating. I started itching an hour after eating there and started bloating a few hours after. Woke up at midnight with severe cramping and indigestion.
I ordered rice bowl with no guacamole add taco meat and cheese and it was made as if there were no substitutions and when I took it back I was told that they were not added! Also it was only half full not the regular amount of food for this item!! I would not go back
Went here the day I got diagnosed with celiac. It was hard to find anything GF on the menu, HOWEVER, I did end up getting a Power Bowl and it was so good and GF ☺ highly recommended for any GF folks craving Taco Bell.
I eat here all the time since it’s one of the only places in Cushing that has a gluten free option. They got a bad habit of skimming on the meat sometimes so I have to get a couple of tacos to actually fill up, but I never fill sick afterwards.
Tacos and nachos gluten free.
Power Bowl, black beans & rice, crunchy taco, & Doritos locos tacos.
I had power bowl and added taco meat, it was very good! I didn’t even miss the soft shell as I am new to gluten free.
Hard shell taco supremes!!
They have a few gluten free options, I always go for their power bowls.
I typically get a power bowl from Taco Bell and don’t have a reaction to it but this Taco Bell made me so sick. I think Taco Bell should stop advertising this bowl as a gluten free option when it is clearly not gluten free.
Great fast place! Gluten free chicken protein bowl!
I ordered tacos and asked them to change gloves to avoid cross contamination. Tested positive for gluten with the Nima sensor.
I am highly gluten allergic, but not celiac. I often eat Taco Bell’s power Bowl’s without the Alvacado Ranch topping. I explain that I am allergic to the Alvacado Ranch. I have not had any reaction. I have been doing this for almost year. I usually get the chicken.
This TB location is the best ever at getting your order correct, even down to giving you a fork…..til today.
Ordered Tacos that are listed as GF by ingredient on the Taco Bell website (crunch taco and doritios loco taco) Ordered via machine as I couldn't work out how to order via counter. Delicious, cheap and didn't get sick.
Crunchy taco and Doritos locos tacos are gluten free! The Mild, Hot, and Diablo sauce is also GF - not the fire one.
I’ve gotten the veggie power bowl without cheese and sour cream (it once still showed up) about 4x from this location. It always tested GF with my Nima sensor and no issues. I once tested a taco and it came back positive, but I ordered through kiosk and didn’t ask them to change gloves.
Great I love It, good food
I am not sure about cross contamination, but chicken power bowl is GF. It’s a healthier option than crunchy tacos (their crunchy shells are GF since they are corn shells).
Someone reviewed and stated that the Mexican pizza is gluten free, and being my favorite past time meal prior to a celiac diagnosis, had to check it out. It is NOT gluten free and the first ingredient listed for the pizza shell is wheat flour. Just wanted to clarify that!
Ordered three crunchy tacos from the gluten free menu. I did not feel sick afterwards.
The meat tacos and the Mexican pizza are GF and delish!!!! I never get sick and always want more.
Taco Bell actually has gluten free hardshell tacos, their regular BEEF tacos, tacos supreme, and Doritos locos tacos. What you CANT eat there is ANY other meats, no chicken, no steak. And you can’t eat their NACHO cheese but you can substitute “3 cheese blend” or cheddar cheese on any nachos. Nothing else can be eaten here except drinks. If you order any other foods ask them to bag them separately. The food prep area surprisingly has little to no cross contamination, but their wrappers are very loose and foods can commingle in a bag.
Bowls are g free but careful with cross contamination
Their hard tacos and taco bowls are gluten free. Their website has an option to filter the menu based on your allergens.
Their hard shell tacos are GF. Not a safe kitchen for celiacs Posted a pic below of options of non containing gluten items.
They’re not truly GF obviously and not safe for celiacs. Also THE MEAT IS NOT GF. on their online menu it lists it as so but it isn’t. Their corporate sent me the ingredient listing so be aware.
Perplexed here, I've had the locos tocos in the past and somewhat fine but watch the kitchen. There is zero way they are actually gf.
Hard shell tacos and cantina bowls make it easy to join the family for a quick night out.
The menu has gluten free options, but I was told they don’t do gluten free. They weren’t busy so I can’t imagine they just didn’t want to clean their stations, but whatever. We just won’t eat there 🤷🏼♀
We are trying this out & this Taco Bell we stopped @ has absolute no idea what Celiac or gluten free means! & says they will have to clean the whole station to avoid any cross contamination
I’m very gluten sensitive (not Celiacs, but a tiny bit of gluten does a lot of damage to me). I ordered a crunchy beef taco supreme and a power bowl with steak. I was nervous to try the ground beef but had read and seen on the allergen menu that they are no longer making their beef with gluten containing ingredients, so I took the risk. It was a success! No reaction!
Okay so at some point in 2020, Taco Bell revamped their ground beef recipe so it no longer includes gluten containing ingredients. Their Hardshell Tacos, Taco Supreme, Dorito Taco, and Dorito Taco Surpreme; are also now listed as not containing gluten.
I haven’t eaten Taco Bell in over 7 years. After learning this and talking to the person at a drive through who said that their would probably be a risk of cross contamination- I gave it a shot. I’ve tried a taco supreme and a dorito taco at 4 different Taco Bell locations in California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. And never got glutened 😃 it’s amazing
Staff is not trained but their nutrition info with allergens including wheat and gluten is available on request and on their website. They have an article for gluten free eaters explaining some of the options and risks now too.
I’m pretty sensitive to gluten/ cross contamination and have had to figure out ways to improvise with not many gluten free options in Saratoga Springs. The only thing I ever get is the crunchy tacos. I love them and don’t seem to have much of a reaction (if any) after eating them. I wouldn’t dare touch anything else on the menu though!
I got the taco supreme now that the ground beef is gf... was as good as I remember ! So happy to have another option at a fast food restaurant. Didn’t get sick either👌 Not many choices so 4 stars
I get the supreme tacos without incidents.
Does anyone know if their eggs are GF. Can’t find it anywhere. I got a grilled breakfast burrito with no cheese and no tortilla. Just egg and bacon. Hoping it’s safe.
Taco Bell’s ground beef is now Gluten free. This is amazing that they did away with the wheat flour to allow gluten free folks to eat here. Taco Supremes are as amazing as I remember
Ordered the crispy supreme tacos (sub) shredded chicken, website offers more suggestions for gluten free items.
Limited menu options for Gluten free. The crunchy tacos contain no gluten and are good value for money.
The protein power bowls are always safe for me. Ive never had any issues.
No separate gluten free menu. Use of corn tortillas as an option would be nice
