Crown Cantina isn’t just another spot for tacos—it’s a sanctuary for celiacs who crave bold, modern Mexican food without that pit-in-your-stomach worry.

The attention to detail here is unreal: no hidden wheat, no awkward second-guessing, just vibrant flavors and peace of mind. If you’ve ever wished you could order anything on the menu and relax—really relax—this place makes that dream your new reality.

Clavel

Safety Score

225 W 23rd St, Baltimore, MD 21211, USA

Mexican

Clavel is the rare taqueria where celiacs can settle in and actually relax—most of the menu is naturally gluten-free, and items containing gluten are clearly marked. The kitchen features a dedicated fryer for empanadas and chips, and staff are consistently described as attentive, knowledgeable, and willing to change gloves or prep space when you flag your needs. That said, this isn't a 100% gluten-free facility, so you'll want to communicate your sensitivity (and maybe double-check about the occasional fryer use). If you're craving house-nixtamalized corn tortillas, spicy salsas, or crispy chips without the usual side of anxiety, this is one of Baltimore's best bets for a joyful meal out.

Tortilleria Sinaloa

Safety Score

1716 Eastern Ave, Baltimore, MD 21231, USA

Mexican

Tortilleria Sinaloa draws celiac diners with its house-made corn tortillas and the promise that "all menu items are gluten free"—and honestly, few things beat the taste of a taco straight off the press. But here's the thing: it's not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, and there's no clear evidence of strict cross-contamination protocols in place. A few regulars with celiac have eaten here without issue, but some have spotted bread on prep surfaces and staff eating gluten-containing foods behind the counter. If you're craving those pillowy tortillas and authentic fillings, just be sure to ask lots of questions and trust your gut—because while the flavors are vibrant, the safety practices aren't quite as reassuring as we'd like.
