Celiac Safety Score

68
Good for Celiac

Taqueria El Vecino feels like that neighborhood spot you wish every celiac had—where corn tortillas, smoky brisket, and fried shrimp tacos can actually be safe for us. They're not a dedicated gluten-free facility, but there's a strong history of clear staff communication and a dedicated fryer (though, heads up: this has fluctuated over time, so always double-check before you order). The menu leans heavily on naturally gluten-free Mexican staples, and servers are often described as knowledgeable and accommodating. Still, occasional slip-ups and fryer changes mean you’ll want to ask questions every visit—but when it’s right, that salsa bar and those crisp chips taste like freedom.
