About La Chiva Taqueria

La Chiva Taqueria dishes out authentic Mexican tacos and cocktails across a kitchen that is 100% gluten-free. Forget westernized hard shells—this Grote Street spot runs on soft corn tortillas, rich mole, and slow-braised birria without a trace of cross-contamination risk. Coeliac diners order with pure relief, while table-sharing regulars lean into charred corn ribs, aguachile, and crisp gluten-free churros paired with a tart house margarita or a Michelada.

  • 100% Gluten-Free Taqueria: The entire menu, down to the fried churros and craft beers, is dedicated gluten-free and coeliac-safe.
  • Feed-Me Tasting Banquets: Multi-course feed-me banquets make group dining and pre-theatre feasts effortless to share.

  • Dedicated 100% Gluten-Free Menu

    La Chiva Taqueria operates a kitchen where the entire food offering is safe for coeliac diners, featuring gluten-free churros and dedicated gluten-free beers.

    Wife is a Ceoliac and very hard to find reliable GF menus where she can eat risk free. Even ordered both desserts she was so impressed she could have GF Churros!

    I recommend the feed me menu I felt like it was great value for money and able to try a range of things.
