Top 5 Gluten-Free Taco Spots to Relish in Clearwater

If I could give 0 stars for the behavior of the owner of this establishment, I would. Please see the attached conversation below if you feel like a good read. I have recently wrote a Yelp review stating my experience. I stated that the food was good, service was good and the atmosphere was good. I specifically noted that I don't mind paying and typically type at least 25%, so the price WAS NOT an issue when leaving this review. I simply stated that my biggest concern was in our party of 6 we had a person who requires gluten free options. Because of this requirement we do check the menu prior to going out. They advertised gluten free options but after ordering drinks she placed her order and they really aren't gluten free and there is a potential for cross contamination. (We have been to several places that can provide her with comfort that they will not cross contaminate.) I also stated that it does feel like they nickel and dime you. When leaving a review I try to tell people what I would have liked to know BEFORE dining there so they know what to expect. This "high class restaurant" charges a 4% credit card charge, provides 12 oz cans with no free refills and does not allow you to upcharge for a different side if you don't prefer chips or fries, you have to pay for the side a la cart. These are simply things I would have liked to know upfront. Aside from the concern for cross contamination, we most likely would have still eaten there and I would have still provided a 5-star review. As a passerby was walking, they inquired if they should eat there and I told them the food was good and they should give it a try. I said that I would still recommend it, but I wouldn't strongly recommend it. The owner responded to me insulting my intelligence, called me cheap (Thinking I wanted a "discounted" side (not what I was saying)), a Karen, telling me that my negative opinion doesn't matter and that my parents didn't teach me well because if I don't have anything nice to say I shouldn't speak. After this interaction I did some research and reviews from previous employees say a lot about this person which I experienced first hand. The reviews on indeed state that he watches cameras from home 24/7 and calls managers to nitpick the staff and the environment is toxic and a previous employee states that the food is overpriced for tourists. I have placed the exchange in the photos.

If you have celiac or a gluten allergy make sure to be extremely cautious when eating here. I ordered the gluten free tacos with corn tortillas and I was given flour. After noticing they didn’t look like corn I asked the waitress and she assured me they were…. upon taking a bite I knew they were definitely flour so I called her back over and said they are definitely flour. They did quickly make me new ones however there was no apology or free drink or anything. I’m extremely disappointed as I was sick and throwing up due to my allergy.

Delicious food! Husband and I got tostadas as well as chips and queso. They had gluten free and vegetarian options for me. Husband enjoyed the spicy chicken option for his tostada and I loved the portobello ranchero!

This is THE place to go on your trip to get the full Florida experience. We sat out on the dock by the marina with fans pointing on us. We had the starter fries with scallops & bacon & I had the salad with Grouper fish on it (came with a spicy honey mustard dressing). Gluten-free: At first I ordered the fish tacos thinking it would be a safe choice but when it came out, it had fried breaded fish on the two tacos. The waitress was super nice about exchanging it for a salad!

Cozy family dinner spot. We will definitely go back. The hot sauce was top notch. So many gluten free options. I had the mega sope. My husband had the enchiladas. Authentic for sure. The pico is a must.
