The Mission has the best taquerias in San Francisco and everyone who lives there will tell you that, unprompted, within minutes of meeting you. The flour tortilla situation alone makes it a complicated neighborhood to eat gluten-free in, and that's before you get to the menus where "gluten-free options available" turns out to mean a salad. We haven't found spots here worth putting on our list yet, but when we do, they'll show up. In the meantime, the bars in the Mission have their own page, and both Castro and Noe Valley have full neighborhood guides.

Many menu items are clearly labeled gluten-free and staff are generally knowledgeable, but cross-contamination risk is above average due to shared fryers and tandoor ovens; only select curries and some rotis are reliably safe for strict gluten-free needs.
