Mexican food can be naturally gluten free. Corn tortillas, meat, veggies, salsa, cheese….. need I go on? It’s the additives in taco seasoning and the flour tortillas that make it not so good for us celiacs. Taco Del Mar does a good job. Not only do they have a gluten free menu (online), but the last manager had celiac and taught the staff and owner well.

Upon ordering anything gluten free, the old gloves come off and are promptly chucked in the garbage. New gloves are put on and off we go to gluten free goodness. The tacos are gluten free, and so are the nachos. Fresh foil protects the soft taco shells, though I would recommend the hard shells, which are less likely to fall apart from plate to mouth. The taste is good, as the food is already gluten free. The value is excellent with many choices and large servings to fill your belly. On my most recent visit, the server knew that the medium salsa wasn’t gluten free and only offered the mild or hot. That level of awareness goes a long way.

Five Stars here! I would trust Taco del Mar every time.
