Let’s be honest, the Calgary Stampede can be a total nightmare for anyone who’s gluten-free. Between the battered, deep-fried everything, finding a safe and satisfying bite can feel next to impossible.

That’s where Dine Find comes in. We found some seriously tasty gluten-free options so you don’t have to miss out on all the fun. Here are a few spots you need to check out if you’re eating gluten-free at Stampede:

Los Hermanos Tacos
Located at the very end of the food trucks closest to the Saddledome, Los Hermanos serves up fresh, flavourful Mexican eats on corn tortillas, ideal for gluten-free diets! Try their Al Pastor, Chicken, or Cactus (Nopal) tacos! You can also go for their quesadilla with options to add guacamole, mozzarella, or even gluten-free queso sauce. This truck is a must-visit for anyone craving easy, delicious, gluten-free bites in the heart of the Stampede Grounds.

Arepas Ranch
Made from Maize (not wheat), arepas are a naturally gluten-free staple of Venezuelan cuisine — soft, golden patties that can be filled with savoury fillings like meat, cheese, beans, veggies, and sauces. Craving one? Head over to the Arepas Ranch food truck near the Nashville North tent to check out their 100% gluten-free menu. From arepas to bowls and crispy empanadas, this is a must-stop for anyone looking for a safe and delicious meal at Stampede.

Covet Sips + Sweets
You might know Covet Sips + Sweets for their iconic 44oz “boot cups” and creative sodas, but they’ve also got two gluten-free treats worth stopping for. Their eye-catching food truck sign is hard to miss — right across from the swing ride! Grab their GF Rice Krispie made with brown rice krispies, or try their Healthy Power Cookie, a gluten-friendly, vegan, and dairy-free option packed with brown rice flour, seeds, raisins, dark chocolate, coconut, and almond milk.

Miss P’s Gluten-Free
Prefer skipping the food trucks? Head to Makers Market booth #118 in the BMO Centre and check out Miss P’s Gluten-Free. Everything is made in a dedicated gluten-free bakery, from beef pasties and pizza rolls to focaccia, cookies, cupcakes, and macarons. Don’t miss out on the cinnamon focaccia!

Nacho Average Queso
Also in Hall B of the BMO Centre, you’ll find Nacho Average Queso, a dairy-free and gluten-free dream. From Fully Loaded Nachos and Chips & Queso to creamy Jalapeño Mac n’ Cheese, it’s a snack stop that checks all the boxes.
