Puerta is honestly my favorite gluten free experience. Everything on the menu either is or can be easily modified to be GF. Staff is fully aware and available, and help prevent cross contamination in any form. Safest I’ve felt dining in Charlotte period. Pro tip- go on taco Tuesday!!

Everything on the menu is gluten free except for the empanadas but they can make them gluten free. On top of that, my server was very knowledgeable on cc so I felt very safe. The fried fish tacos are AMAZING!!!

Puerta in Elizabeth 7th and Pecan is AMAZING! All of the dishes you are seeing are gluten free in separate frier! I’m celiac since 2014 and went Thursday night and had an amazing special meal! These churros! Empanada!!! flautas!

I told the server I was Celiac and she told me everything on the menu can be made gluten free! As a side note they do have a glutenful version of the empanada so if you see other photos on their website that could be what you’re seeing. Just tell them your situation and they will take care of you!!!!

The ambience is very buzzy, loud, young, fun etc. if you want to have a serious convo with your eating partner I would go at a non peak time. 😂 I did call ahead seating because I didn’t have a reservation. I got a table an hour after calling and made sure to leave my house in perfect timing.

This place is amazing! The vibes the drinks the food the decor the music it’s awesome. The staff is so friendly! The entire menu is gluten free. Except the empanadas but no fear they have a gluten free version for those separate fryer and all! I had the lamb empanadas and the fish and the queso. So good. Hubby had the tacos he loved them. Everything was so fresh and delicious.

Celebrated my wife’s birthday here. The food and experience were top-notch and the staff and kitchen were very knowledgeable and attentive to celiacs. New favorite restaurant in Charlotte and a new addition to the list of places my wife trusts in the city.

It’s great! They said everything is gluten free except the empanadas but you can request gluten free ones, which are so good I had to confirm 2x they were gf.

The churros are amazing!! Only downside to This place is it is hard to get a reservation but you can often walk in around 1:30/2 for brunch or 5 for dinner

This place is amazing! Almost everything is always gluten free and everything else can be modified to be gluten free. They are very knowledgeable about celiacs and everything fried is in a dedicated fryer. Finding a place with gluten free churros and gluten free tres leche is incredible! I enjoyed everything I tried, it’s a must go for all celiacs.
