Adelita's Taqueria brings a refreshing change of pace for gluten-free diners craving classic Mexican fare—imagine finally biting into a stuffed-to-the-brim burrito wrapped in a gluten-free teff tortilla! The kitchen clearly labels gluten-free choices on the main menu and offers options like tamales, tacos, and vegan plates, plus those sought-after teff tortillas. While staff can be attentive and there's talk of a dedicated fryer, cross-contact risks linger due to shared equipment and prep areas—some diners with celiac have reported mixed outcomes. If you're celiac or highly sensitive, I'd say this is a place where extra communication and caution are your best friends; for the gluten-sensitive crowd, though, the variety and flavor could be just what you've been missing.

Taqueria Milagro offers a vibrant Mexican dining experience with plenty of naturally gluten-free dishes—think corn tortilla street tacos, hearty carnitas, and fresh guacamole with house-made corn chips. But here's the thing: there's no mention of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen or strict cross-contamination protocols. While the menu leans into corn-based options, flour tortillas and breaded items are prepared in the same space, so risk lingers for those with celiac disease. If you're just sensitive to gluten, you might get by with careful menu navigation, but celiacs should approach with extra caution and always double-check with staff.
