Top 10 Gluten Free Mexican Restaurants

Caution

Antigua Mexican Grill brings classic Mexican comfort to the table, but for those of us living with celiac disease, things get tricky fast. While there are tempting naturally gluten-free dishes like ceviche, guacamole, and cochinita pibil, there’s no mention of dedicated gluten-free preparation areas or staff training in cross-contamination. The kitchen leans heavily on wheat tortillas, flour-based items, and shared fryers—so the risk of gluten mingling where it shouldn't be is pretty high. If you’re hoping for a spot where you can relax without grilling the staff about every detail, this isn’t that haven; extra vigilance and detailed communication will be absolutely necessary here.
