Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

Mesero isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility, but it’s one of those rare Mexican spots where celiacs can actually relax—at least a little. The kitchen offers a range of naturally gluten-free dishes (think: sizzling fajitas, corn tortillas, and that crave-worthy guac), and several regulars with celiac have eaten here safely time and again. While there’s no flagged gluten-free menu, staff are usually knowledgeable, and reports suggest the kitchen can use separate spaces and equipment upon request—though you’ll need to advocate for yourself and double-check each visit. It’s not perfection, but when you’re craving real-deal tacos with friends, Mesero brings both flavor and a reassuring degree of care—just be ready for a little extra conversation with your server.
