100% gluten free Mexican food in the heart of Austin! The food was delicious, and I legit wanted to eat the whole menu if I had an endless budget. You can’t go wrong with any item.

They know their way around a green bean!! Tons of gluten free options, super delicious. My faves are the green beans and sticky rice

Syrene Starchilde

Love the patience and genuine friendliness of the staff, and the food was good! You can tell thought was put into texture and taste. Nice and casual spot for your omnis, vegetarians, vegans, and gluten abstaining besties.

Comedor in downtown Austin blew us away when we visited earlier this year! The modern Mexican cuisine is nothing short of a culinary adventure, with flavors that dance on your palate. As someone who's gluten-free, I was amazed to discover that the entire menu is gluten-free—this truly blew my mind! Chef Philip Speer's creativity shines through in every dish. The atmosphere is a beautiful blend of chic design and warmth, making it the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel truly special. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Comedor is the place to be!

Overall, the atmosphere is fairly nice with very kind and friendly wait staff. True Food Kitchen has a well rounded menu with accommodates for vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan with clearly labled dishes for such. Additionally, the flavor profile is fairly diverse so if you are vegan like me, you will not be restricted to a single option and have a few choices to make.

Went here for brunch and it was great! Pretty patio, and a mimosa flight is only $6! They have so many gluten free and vegan options, so there is something for everyone. Cute place

We had the best date night here! Oscar, Emily, and Yuliia made the experience so special. The food is amazing and very safe for me as a celiac. Gluten free options galore! My favorite Brazilian steakhouse in Austin.

I cannot say enough good things about Ember. We did the Chefs Experience dinner during our girls trip and I would recommend dining this way for others. Tina was our server and she was absolutely phenomenal. Knowledgeable and passionate about her work. Every person behind the counter was friendly and they worked together very well as a team. The food was flawless, I was left speechless which does not happen often. Everything just melted in your mouth and the flavor profiles were on point. They easily catered to my gluten free restrictions. If I lived in Austin, I’d be a regular. Thank you for an incredible experience

Great place for Italian food and especially gluten free! Our server Joey was phenomenal. He offers awesome suggestions. I thoroughly appreciate how well he took care of me and my family for Mother’s Day dinner. As a celiac, dining safely is priority and Joey went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

Food was delicious and got us right away! Gluten free friendly 🩷

Jess Birken

This is a great spot. Menu had something for everyone. Great staff and we had a gluten allergy in our party and they were able to provide a menu that only listed gluten free items.

Luki Martino

Absolute disaster at Northern Italia today. Despite my clear dietary restrictions, they served me gluten-loaded toast and potatoes alongside a veggie scramble. Oh, and let's not forget the dairy-drenched salad after specifying I'm dairy-free. The pièce de résistance? Finding out I'm allergic to the hidden peas in my scramble. The service was nonexistent, I had to hunt down the waitress myself. To top it off, no seasoning, no sauce, and not even a comp for the disaster. Never again.

Tina Marie

We absolutely love RedFarm! The food is consistently delicious, with plenty of options for everyone—gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian included. My personal favorite? The gluten-free lobster dumplings—oh my god, they are incredible. Robert was our server (as he often is), and he always takes excellent care of us. He’s knowledgeable about the menu and incredibly thoughtful when it comes to food allergies and dietary needs. Jen, the manager, is also a standout. She’s been there for years, always greets us with a smile, and it’s clear she cares deeply about both the staff and the overall operation. The restaurant is clean, well-run, and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Hit or miss on food. Pizza was good but prosciutto was too thick to eat easily. Eggplant was a big miss probably due to gluten free. Bucatini was highlight if you like spicy. Would not return.

Dianna Aguilar

Everything was fantastic! Our server Aaron was super attentive and patient with us as we made our wine and meal selections. He also made sure to be mindful of my gluten allergy. The watermelon feta appetizer was refreshing with a mild chile kick which was an unexpected and delightful surprise. The grouper entree and lamb skewer were perfectly seasoned with delicious, nuanced flavors. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough!

Shellie Cummings

Yndira was our server and our service was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. The burger was delicious and had a gluten free bun option which was also very good. Definitely recommend.

Aurelia O'Neil

Our server, Robert, had a wonderful sense of humor and took wonderful care of us. He was very knowledgeable about gluten free options on the menu and was very timely to our request.

Paige Haas

Queso was great, our server Ibo was very knowledgeable about gluten-free/celiac options!

Tara Raoof

I ordered two gluten free tacos both came out to be on flour tortillas but I didn't realize until after I had a bite and now I'm having a really bad reaction to it. I will not be going there again!

Great food inside Driskill Hotel. Accommodating for gluten free.

Nicole Giacopelli

Amazing experience. Very knowledgeable with gluten free options. Food was delicious. Service was spectacular!

Kisha Benjamin

My husband had the steak omelette and I had gluten free pancakes. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly.

Lisa

Excellent! I am gluten free and ate the Aloha Burger on a GF bun. It was the best burger I’ve had in recent memory. The mock tails are yum too! If you are GF the staff is knowledgeable about the food, especially the tall bearded server (who went to culinary school - wish I remembered his name). Best music playlist and comfortable seating. I wanted to go back the next day!

D Dor

Lance was fun and knowledgeable about the menu. He suggested drinks and substitutions for gluten free items. Loved him!

Brett Jackson

An INSTANT go to -- great price to quality ratio, amazing taste, broad menu, and extensive gluten free options. Food and service were both quick and excellent. Easiest 5 star in awhile.

Really enjoyed our experience here! Booked a reservation online and were seated on time. Atmosphere was lively and the restaurant is gorgeous. Our server was extremely kind and helpful, I have a gluten allergy and the menu has GF markers (love!!) but she was also very knowledgeable on gluten free options. I had the salmon, the components of the meal seem simple but it was done perfectly and I loved every bite. We also had amazing espresso martinis as a night cap and watched the sunset through the buildings. Dinner was pricey and drinks $20 each but worth it as a fun date night. Would highly recommend!

Calvin Adams

Best place to get Coffee, Vegan, Gluten Free, Nutrition based and Delicious food in Austin and hang out.

Amy Pennies

Great food, great service. Mike was awesome. Get the queso - add the short ribs. Solid knowledge/options for gluten allergies and celiac - queso flameado, carnitas tacos and chocolate tart dessert were all gluten free and delicious!

Shelby Jacobs

Do not pass up a visit to this place!! We had the most delicious crepes brunch here. My (gluten free) boyfriend had the gf turkey pesto savory crepe, and I the croque madame crepe and they were both perfection!! Tons of flavor and high quality, fresh ingredients. I also had their delicious peach tea and my boyfriend enjoyed his americano. This is definitely a gem of Austin (the kind chef, original art deco lobby, outdoor seating availability and the fact they also serve cocktails was a bonus!).

Kylee Kneefel

Dined in for lunch early on a Friday. I am Gluten free. Wonderful selection of gluten sensitive items. Food was fresh and flavorful. Service was good. Highly recommend. Will be back soon.

Kim Eason

Having food allergies, I am selective about where I eat. I was attending a conference at the Marriott a few blocks away and this was the only place between the conference and my hotel that showed as having something gluten-free. So, I made the walk for lunch and dinner every day I was there because everyone worked to accommodate my food allergies. The food is good and the service is amazing. The grilled chicken on the salads is amazing. The gluten-free burger is a good burger for gluten-free (if you eat gluten-free normally, you know what to expect with the drier bun...expected for gluten-free). You can also opt for no bun and have them put the burger on lettuce. Thank you for being flexible and patient with my dietary requirements!

We always a fantastic time here. They have great food and even better drinks. The view is the best in town. Everybody is always so sweet. I’ve been for date night, a large birthday party with over 20 people, and to host family and every time they’re sweet and accommodating for our group. Gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options are available, too!

Simone Willmann

Excellent & wonderfull breakfast!! My advice: The Avocado Toast (also gluten-free available) or the Verbena Breakfast: AMAZING DELICIOUS with Lobster 🤩 Could eat it day by day 🥰 But for me it was much too cold from the air-conditioning (could safe a lot of energy not to cool down that strong 🙏💡)

Aonushka Aeron

Truly blown away by the quality and flavours of the food - I am vegetarian and gluten free, and its hard to find food that’s so rich in taste, healthy, and delicious. The chef even came to the table to explain the dish and its flavours. Highly recommended!!
