Mara's Grill

Safety Score

3441 N 84th St, Milwaukee, WI 53222, USA

Mexican

Mara's Grill feels like a bit of a hidden gem for gluten-free diners craving authentic Mexican and Guatemalan flavors. While they proudly state that about 90% of their menu is gluten-free, there's no mention of dedicated prep areas or staff training for celiac safety, which leaves a little room for worry. The abundance of naturally gluten-free options—think corn tortillas, rice and beans, and vibrant moles—definitely makes this spot appealing, but with flour tortillas and sandwiches in the mix, cross-contact could be a risk. If you’re someone who needs strict celiac-level precautions, I’d recommend calling ahead and having a candid chat with the kitchen before visiting; for those who are gluten-sensitive but not diagnosed celiac, it’s a tasty, welcoming option with lots of variety.

Taqueria Mi Tierra Mexican Restaurant

Safety Score

Water Street + Wells, Milwaukee, WI 53202, USA

Mexican

Taqueria Mi Tierra radiates warmth and authenticity, but for those of us who need to eat strictly gluten-free, there's not much reassurance on the safety front. The website and available materials don't mention gluten-free options, dedicated prep areas, or cross-contamination protocols—so it feels like a bit of a gamble. If you're celiac or highly sensitive, you know that 'just ask the staff' isn't always enough peace of mind. The vibrant flavors might tempt you, but I'd hold off unless you can confirm safe preparation in person.
