Tamale Box
Gluten-free menuIn Kendall Yards, Tamale Box makes handmade half-pound tamales (black bean, chicken chile rojo, pork chile verde, cheese and jalapeño) and combo plates with rice and beans. The menu flags its gluten-free dishes; the venue does not describe itself as entirely gluten-free and serves beer, so ask about other items and the risk of cross-contamination.
Mixed kitchen, but a clearly identified gluten-free menu.
Good to know if you have celiac disease
Cross-contamination risk. Mixed kitchen, not entirely dedicated to gluten-free: contact with or shared preparation alongside gluten-containing products remains possible, even with no specific mechanism identified to date.
Gluten-removed barley beer. Some beers sold as "gluten-free" are barley beers treated enzymatically. Tests cannot reliably measure their residual gluten: they are not recommended for people with celiac disease.

"Not verified" means we could not confirm it at the source — not that it is safe. Ask on site.
Existing establishment; gluten-free level and risks confirmed at the source.
Sources — Verified on 07/10/2026: the online menu on the official website labels the tamales, rice, beans and salsa "gluten-free"; the website does not present the venue as entirely gluten-free.
