Best Gluten Free Mexican in Brooklyn

Casa Pública is a rare sanctuary for celiacs: a vibrant Mexican spot that proudly operates as a dedicated gluten-free facility. You can finally relax and savor classic dishes—think crunchy totopos, smoky mole, and those melt-in-your-mouth tacos—without the usual second-guessing about hidden gluten. While desserts sometimes stray from the gluten-free path, the core menu is built for us, with thoughtful ingredient choices and cross-contamination simply not an issue in the kitchen. Honestly, there’s a genuine sense of relief in dining somewhere that gets it, where the flavors sing and you don’t have to explain yourself twice.

Sobre Masa Tortilleria feels like a breath of fresh air for anyone who's ever scanned a menu with that familiar knot of worry—here, nearly every savory dish is crafted from heirloom corn and made without gluten, and they say it loud and clear. The team’s deep respect for Mexican corn traditions translates into tortillas and masa that are naturally gluten-free, and their FAQ confidently states that almost all savory offerings are safe (just watch for a few desserts). There’s no evidence of wheat-based menu items sneaking into the main kitchen, which means cross-contact risk is incredibly low—honestly, you can finally relax and savor those tacos the way everyone else does. If you’ve longed for a place where you don’t need to ask twice or explain your needs, Sobre Masa feels like a homecoming.

Jajaja Mexicana is a festive, plant-based haven that’s full of bold Mexican flavors, but when it comes to celiac safety, you’ll want to have a careful conversation with your server. The menu is clearly marked for gluten-free options and staff seem knowledgeable, plus there’s a real emphasis on accommodating allergies—always a relief for those of us who’ve navigated the ‘can I actually eat this?’ anxiety. That said, the kitchen isn’t dedicated gluten-free and there are mixed reports about fryer safety and occasional post-meal reactions among sensitive diners. Honestly, if you’re craving vibrant vegan tacos or empanadas and you’re comfortable discussing cross-contact, this spot can be a fun choice—but it’s not a set-and-forget safe zone for celiacs.
