Best Gluten Free Mexican in New York

You know what? Walking into Maiz feels like hitting the gluten-free jackpot in Midtown. They bill themselves as a dedicated gluten-free facility, which instantly lets your shoulders drop a little—finally, a spot where you don’t have to grill the staff about every single ingredient. The menu leans into Mexican comfort food with all the bells and whistles—think smoky grilled chicken, pillowy corn tortillas, and salsas that’ll wake up your taste buds. Still, I’d give a quick nod to staff about celiac precautions, since there are some mixed reports about shared surfaces and glove changes in past years; but for most celiacs, this place is one of the safest bets around for a genuinely satisfying meal.
