La Victoria Taqueria’s menu leans naturally gluten-free, with corn tortillas and fresh fillings at the heart of their street-style tacos. While it isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility, many folks in our celiac community report safe, symptom-free meals—especially when they speak up about their needs and request fresh gloves or precautions. There’s genuine care and some staff awareness, but shared prep areas and the presence of flour tortillas mean you’ll need to stay vigilant and ask questions. If you’re craving simple, flavorful tacos and are comfortable navigating cross-contact risks (with a little assertiveness), this spot can offer a satisfying, worry-light meal.

Acitrón Cocina Mexicana stands out for its thoughtful approach to gluten-free needs, making it a rare comfort for anyone who’s weary of the usual dining minefield. While not a dedicated gluten-free facility, they clearly mark dishes containing gluten and encourage guests to alert servers about allergies—small gestures that mean the world when you live with celiac disease. Corn tortillas and naturally GF options abound, but flour tortillas and shared fryers may pose cross-contact risks, so conversations with staff are a must. If you’re craving vibrant Mexican flavors and are willing to advocate for yourself, Acitrón offers both variety and a welcoming attitude—just don’t let your guard down completely.
