Mexican

CDT Cocina is a rare find—a truly dedicated gluten-free Mexican restaurant where you can finally relax and just enjoy your meal. Every tamale, taco, and even the fries are crafted in a 100% gluten-free kitchen, so you won’t have to grill the staff about cross-contact or ingredient lists for once. There’s real joy in digging into handmade masa (stone-ground on-site!) or ordering a platter of chips and salsa without that anxious second thought. Sure, no place is perfect and there's always a tiny chance with outside ingredients, but here, the overwhelming consensus from our community of celiacs is relief and delight—this is what safe dining should feel like.

Mexican

El Dorado Cantina really stands out for gluten-free diners looking for safe, vibrant Mexican cuisine on the Las Vegas Strip. While it's not a dedicated gluten-free facility, their menu clearly marks numerous 'gluten-friendly' dishes (think enchiladas, tacos, fajitas, and even house-made chips and salsas), and the kitchen leans heavily on corn tortillas and naturally gluten-free ingredients. Staff are attentive and seem familiar with dietary needs—I've seen them walk diners through options and answer questions without hesitation. Still, with shared kitchen spaces and terms like 'gluten-friendly' instead of 'gluten-free,' there’s always a small risk of cross-contact; so if you're ultra-sensitive, be sure to communicate your needs clearly when ordering. But honestly? For Strip dining, this is one of the most inclusive and transparent spots I’ve found—there’s real peace of mind in their labeling and ingredient quality.
