Celiac safety assessment and key features

Good

Taqueria Cinco is a breath of fresh air for celiacs craving vibrant, authentic Mexican fare—almost the entire menu is naturally gluten-free, with corn tortillas at the heart of every taco and tostada. The staff here really gets it: they're warm, well-versed in celiac safety, and quick to swap out unsafe items (like those pesky shared-fryer chips) for safe alternatives such as crispy tostadas. While there's no dedicated gluten-free kitchen, the crew goes out of their way to answer questions and accommodate even the most sensitive diners. You know what? It feels good to have a local spot where you can actually relax and enjoy a heaping plate of tacos without second-guessing every bite—but, as always, steer clear of fried items and double-check if you're highly sensitive.
