Being gluten-free can get really hard when you are constantly trying to come up with new meals for yourself.
It’s even harder when you want to go out to eat and your options are limited. Whether you’re allergic, uber-healthy, or just want to try something new, Columbus has you covered with gluten-free menus.
Are you ready to eat? Because I’m ready to eat, y’all.

Local Cantina

About: Local Cantina is one of the many great taco places Columbus has to offer us. Even better, all most all their tacos are served on corn tortillas minus two of them, which clearly say “flour tortilla”. These tortillas are super yummy! Sometimes corn tortillas can get hard but these stay soft and delicious. I love the roasted carnitas taco!
Bake Me Happy
