Taqueria El Vecino really tries to roll out the red carpet for gluten-free diners, boasting a menu where nearly everything—except flour tortillas and mole sauce—can be made safely gluten free. They’re upfront about using dedicated gluten-free breading and even claim a fryer reserved just for gluten-free items (though this has fluctuated in recent years, so always double-check before ordering your chips). The kitchen staff will take extra precautions for celiac guests if you let them know, and there’s clear attention to sourcing safe ingredients—like swapping out soy and Worcestershire sauces for gluten-free versions. Still, it’s not a dedicated facility and there have been occasional slip-ups (like wheat tortillas served by mistake), so while the food is vibrant and the options are plentiful, ultra-sensitive celiacs should keep those antennae up and communicate needs clearly.
