A taco and burrito chain restaurant that uses fresh ingredients, takes time to prepare them just so, and then quickly combines these ingredients to the specifications of each customer. Though they do not have a gluten-free menu, numerous items are safe for celiacs. Best bets are the burrito bol, fajita bol, and crispy corn tacos. Choices of meats include carnitas, barbacoa, chicken, and steak. Other safe selections are the fajita vegetables, cilantro-lime rice, black beans, pinto beans, and all four salsas. Be cautious about the chopped lettuce and shredded cheese only because servers use their hands to scoop these items, and the same server could have handled the flour tortillas. In general, Chipotle gets high marks from the celiac list. more

Maudie's is an Austin tradition that we can enjoy gluten free. It makes sense with its emphasis on corn that gluten-free Mexican should not be hard. Maudie's makes it easy and delicious with their gluten-free menu. more

A challenging, but not impossible, place to eat gluten free. The first order of business is to alert the manager and chef to your needs. If the restaurant is not too busy they can customize a meal for you. When possible, call ahead to request that a serving of non-marinated veal, pork, steak, or seafood be set-aside for you, and add steamed veggies and a salad for a full meal.
