Azteca Mexican Grill feels like a hidden gem for celiac diners craving authentic Mexican flavors with a side of genuine care. Here’s the thing: the owner reportedly has celiac herself, so she knows the stakes—and it shows in how the staff guide you through safe choices and answer those all-too-familiar cross-contamination questions. There’s a separate gluten-free menu (and even an allergy FAQ), plus a dedicated fryer, though protocols around chips and rice have varied over time—so always double-check when you order and bring your own chips if you’re unsure. While it’s not a 100% gluten-free kitchen, the warmth and allergy knowledge here set it apart in Oklahoma City; honestly, it’s the kind of spot where you feel both welcome and understood.

Mama Roja really tries to welcome gluten-free diners, offering a separate gluten-free menu and plenty of staff willing to answer questions. The lakeside view is a treat, but honestly, the kitchen's shared space and lack of a dedicated fryer mean you'll have to stay vigilant—bring your own chips or swap for corn tortillas if you're extra sensitive. Some staff are more clued-in than others, so always (and I mean always) clearly state your celiac needs and double-check how your meal will be prepped. It's a spot where celiacs can find safe-ish options with good communication, but it's not the place for letting your guard down—especially if you react to even tiny traces.

Barrios Fine Mexican Dishes is the kind of place where staff seem genuinely invested in making sure celiac diners have a safe and flavorful meal—if you know the right questions to ask. While there’s no dedicated gluten-free menu or facility, the servers are consistently reported as knowledgeable and willing to check with the kitchen about ingredients and preparation, which makes a huge difference for peace of mind. That said, the lack of a dedicated fryer means chips and anything fried are off-limits, and cross-contact risk is present—so you’ll want to stick to naturally gluten-free options like tacos (with corn tortillas) and fajitas, and always confirm how items are prepped on your visit. It’s not the holy grail of celiac safety, but for those comfortable navigating shared kitchens with an attentive staff, Barrios offers vibrant Mexican food and a welcoming vibe that’s worth considering—just keep your guard up and don’t be shy about double-checking every detail.
