Finding delicious, authentic Mexican food that fits a gluten free lifestyle can be a challenge, but at Taco Bus, we believe everyone deserves to enjoy fresh flavors without compromise. We’re proud to offer a huge variety of gluten-free options, from our proteins to our sides, so you can build the perfect meal that meets your needs.
Here’s your guide to navigating our menu and keeping it gluten-free!
A Quick Note About Our Kitchen
First, a word of transparency for our celiac and highly sensitive guests. While we offer many gluten-free items, they are prepared in the same kitchen and on the same equipment as our other menu items. We use shared surfaces to warm up both our corn (gluten-free) and flour (gluten) tortillas.
For those who are extremely sensitive, we recommend choosing the El Burrito Bol, which allows you to enjoy all our delicious fillings and toppings without the risk of a shared tortilla press.
Step 1: Choose Your Gluten Free Style
Start by choosing the base of your meal. All of these styles are gluten-free and ready to be customized:
- Corn Tacos: The classic street-style experience.
- Tostadas: A crispy, flat corn tortilla piled high with your favorite toppings.
- Papos: Crispy tortilla chips piled with Mexican rice, gluten-free protein, cabbage, cheese, pico de gallo, and queso.
- El Burrito Bol: Get all the good stuff served in a bowl—the safest bet for avoiding cross-contamination.
Step 2: Pick Your Gluten Free Filling
This is where the flavor comes in! Nearly all of our authentic, slow-cooked fillings are gluten-free. Take your pick from:
- Chicken: Grilled Chicken, Shredded Chicken (Pollo Verde), or Spicy Chicken.
- Pork: Marinated Shredded Pork (Cochinita Pibil) or Shredded Pork (Carnitas).
- Beef: Ground Beef (Picadillo) or Steak (Carne Asada).
- Seafood: Shrimp or Camaron.
- Vegetarian & Vegan: Portobello Ranchero, Butternut Squash, Plant Fare, Vegan Steak
