Gluten-Friendly Options for Everyone

At BarBurrito, we believe that dietary restrictions shouldn't limit your enjoyment of delicious Tex-Mex cuisine. That's why we've developed a wide range of gluten-friendly options that deliver all the flavor you crave without the gluten you need to avoid.

Important Note About Gluten-Friendly vs. Gluten-Free

While we offer many gluten-friendly options, BarBurrito is not a certified gluten-free facility. We take precautions to minimize cross-contamination, but we do use gluten-containing ingredients in our kitchens. Customers with celiac disease or severe gluten allergies should consult with their healthcare provider before dining with us.

Our Gluten-Friendly Menu Options

We've carefully analyzed our menu to identify items that naturally contain no gluten ingredients. Here's a comprehensive guide to enjoying BarBurrito while avoiding gluten:

Burrito Bowls: All the Flavor, No Flour Tortilla

Our burrito bowls are the perfect gluten-friendly alternative to traditional burritos. All the same delicious ingredients you love in a burrito, just without the flour tortilla. Start with a base of rice and beans, add your favorite protein, and top with any of our gluten-friendly toppings.

  • Our kitchens prepare items containing gluten and items without gluten in the same area.
  • We change gloves and use clean utensils when preparing gluten-friendly orders upon request.
