GREAT gluten free Italian menu - I’ve been coming here for years, the owner is gluten intolerant and most of the menu can be made GF (they have a whole menu) and incredible desserts couldn’t recommend more - find more on @ontheglutenfreemenu on IG & TIKTOK 🧡
My sister has celiac and I have always hated gf food. But the cinnamon rolls are great and taste maybe even better than the gluten-ful counterpart. My sister was kinda sad that they didn't have any iced coffees but besides that this is a great stop.
Food is extremely healthy though what you see online is not necessarily what is available in person. At the time we went, there was supposedly something going on with the oven to where staff was having to cook one gluten-free pita at a time and the waitress compared the experience of waiting for our orders to waiting for water to boil.
The ingredients for extremely fresh, for sure. Most of the meals, savory. But it was very expensive.
My husband ordered his buffalo burger on the rare side (it needs to be undercooked not to overdry) and it came out medium well, very dry and with some grizzle in it, to boot. The waitress apologized and immediately offered to get a new one made. She said the burger would be compted but then clarified that the new burger would be comped (you were seriously going to charge for getting the order right?).
Overall, decent healthy food but very expensive.
Can Always count on this place for delicious gluten-free food. Sometimes staff are weirdly unfriendly, but from reading other reviews it sounds like they’re just doing their best in what sounds like a toxic place to work. I would also be a downer if the stories here and on Reddit about working here are true. So great food but make sure to tip your server if you go!!
Nathan and Mekala know exactly how to provide top-notch customer service along with their entire staff and not to mention the food is delicious, with healthy ingredients. I've ordered the vegan poke bowl, which is perfect on a hot summer day. I'm not vegan and ate every last morsel.
I've also ordered the Gone Fishin' bowl, which contains a perfectly cooked salmon portion, coconut rice, mixed greens, local mushrooms, herby cucumbers, pickled onions, sautéed corn, sesame ponzu, green onions, and everything seasoning. Whatever you are in the mood for at la finca, you and your palate will not be disappointed.
I love that this restaurant sources from local places with their produce and is a 100% gluten-free kitchen. They are vegetarian/vegan friendly, dietary sensitive, and sustainability focused. I will continue to support this local restaurant and hope that you will enjoy it just as much as I do. La finca, thank you for making quality bowls with quality ingredients.
*****A bonus is that they sell two stoned Betties hand crafted jewelry at their cash register. I couldn't help myself and bought a gorgeous pair of earrings that were calling my name. The earrings I bought are hypo-allergenic hand painted guitar picks with the New Mexico Zia symbols painted on them along
with a roadrunner and heart-shaped zia charm on the ends. Supporting local means so much to me because my husband and I own PT First Physical therapy clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Have a blessed day, y'all!
The Bandeja Paisa and chicken salad were delicious. Accompanied with fruit juices of Milo and maracuyá. What a treat!
Their menu is gluten free and has some vegetarian options.
My wife and kid live this pizza. Dude was cool and understood the unique instructions from my fam. A vegan pizza with little sauce and heavy in the vegan cheese. And a gluten free vegan pizza also. They loved the pizzas. So that's Kool
The best place to eat in Santa fe. Make sure you get in line by 4pm for an in person reservation. Many gluten-free options. Almost all the deserts are gluten-free.
love this place so much! me and my boyfriend come here all the time. The food is flavorful, unique, and not too sweet or heavy! Plenty of gluten free options for me and the staff is so friendly. Waits can sometimes take a bit and parking is a challenge with the shared parking lot but its well worth it
Not one to go to chains often, especially with certain cuisines, but am I glad I came here! last time I went to a PF Changes it was meh. this place has it DOWN! Food was amazing def making this our goto spot for chinese! and the service was amazing too, server/ Chefs were so nice to help accommodate my Wife's gluten Free needs.
I love the high-quality and good service of this restaurant. The burgers are always on point and grass fed beef makes a huge difference as far as taste and health. The fact that they have gluten-free options makes this place a go to for us. The french fries are delicious so are the sweet potato fries.
This food has so much flavor! It's healthy and delicious! When I asked if they had gluten-free items, they did! I ordered the chicken kabobs and the falafel! They were delicious!
I had spiced and goat cheese truffles and hot chocolate from the Salem, Massachusetts location in October 2021. It was so good I went 2 days in a row despite the fact my hotel room was in Providence, Rhode Island. Their only locations are in Santa Fe and Salem currently.
My husband and I were in Santa Fe so I absolutely had to stop by.
We got these to bring home. Almost everything is marked gluten-free.
I ended up getting 4 goat cheese and sage truffles ($4.25 each) while my husband got a green chile caramel $3.50 and a cherry chili truffle. They were all marked gluten-free.
Staff was attentive and while pricey, the truffles are so good and so unique that I think they're worth it.

Thankfully they have a lot of gluten-free options. That being said, I find it waaay too expensive for the quality and quantity of the food. Great staff. Food was good but nothing special. $48 for Conchinita Pibil. It was flavorful but not worth the money. My husband had a salad with figs and they were soggy. The chicken paillard was good , but $47. I get in NYC from an excellent place for $28.
Food is fine. Service is great. Cilantro rice is flavorful. We have eaten great food on our trip here in NM in Albuquerque and Taos and paid nothing near this. My son had a$20 Papusa. One single papusa.
Nope.
Tons of options for everyone! You can find dairy free, gluten free, vegan options. There are about 10-15 different food options of all types of cuisine. My favorite is the Meso Grill and Kulantro
Well, we started off with dessert! Thankfully Magnolia (Maggie, owner and if she isn't she should be because she cared about our experience from the moment we walked in until we left) picked our dinner options for us (our request and we have no idea what we got but my husband said for like the first time ever that he would come back to the same place again) and made sure we were 100% more than happy - and i was so happy to find out they have gluten-free na'an! Added bonus! I think she could have picked absolutely anything on the menu and it would have been delicious. This place just cares, you'll be in good hands (closes at 8pm so go early).
Staff is always super friendly. The food is always super great and for 2 years I've been living gluten-free and they honestly have the best gluten-free pizza in town!
We have enjoyed every visit to Budai, and especially appreciate how they're able to make most entrees gluten free. Their service is always friendly. The black pepper lamb may be perfection!
I absolutely LOVE this restaurant. It’s my favorite place to eat. I also have celiacs disease and almost everything is gluten free! 10/5 stars! Please come to the west side!!
Very helpful staff to explain what food is gluten free. Great descriptions of everything is prepared. Gluten free menu. Gluten free bread, but it cannot be grilled or toasted due to cross contamination. Fries are also cross contaminated. Cheese burger on gluten free bread with a salad is safe and I had this without problems.
Food was great! Service was amazing and the atmosphere is chill. I am a gluten free human and they have WAFFLES THAT ARE DELICIOUS!! All the food was amazing!

The food was good. I am a celiac and cannot have gluten. Our waitress was accommodating and understood about soy sauce having weed in it. I asked for tamari and they had it it is very clean...small. They have lunch specials, but I got the regular entrée so I could have left leftovers for later. The egg soup was very good. I neglected to take any pictures because I was with my son and enjoy enjoying his company. I would go back and would recommend to those with gluten issues.
Sad to write a bad review because the sopapillas here were delicious , fresh and hot but everything else was a big let down. Our waitress, although was very nice, thought we wanted gluten free because we said dairy free and without discussing with us ordered our "burrito " with corn tortillas. We were excited to try the house-made flour tortillas that burritos are traditionally wrapped in and ordered a burrito as one of our two dishes. We were eating it regardless of it tasting really weird because they were super busy, we didn’t see our waitress while being very hungry and we don't typically send back food for just not being good to avoid waste. However, at some point we realized the tortillas were corn and not flour like indicated on the menu (and most burritos are) and were basically an unbaked corn enchilada instead of the burrito we selected. When we saw the waitress we checked in with her and she responded well and said made a mistake and will refund the burrito plate. However when she brought the check it wasn't fully refunded, just a credit. Turned out the manager wasn't going to refund it even though the waitress said she would and only offered a partial credit. I kindly but assertively requested a full refund and unlike the response of the waitress, the floor manager argued that we ate the "burrito" even when I explained we noticed it wasn't right but didn't know what the problem was and thought we just didn't like it. It was ofcourse after a 30 min wait for a table and it was hard to even pin down the waitress to check in about it. While the waitress and myself had a polite and calm interaction about it , I found the floor manager to be quite unprofessional, rude and condescending. He did refund fully in the end but even after doing so was very rude. Really weird to keep arguing that we ate and didn't say anything right away when they didnt serve us the burrito we ordered and until we realized it was a mistake we just thought it was a bac meal. I'd think it would be more important to a respectable restaurant to not have customers think they serve bad burritos. So I don't recommend this place even though the sopapillas and the local raw honey were good. Our other plate was better than the "burrito " but their chile sauces were kinda meh for us too. I recommend El Patio or Duran's Station instead.
Staff were phenomenal at helping us make a friend's birthday special!
Our group had vegans, vegetarians, and people with food allergies (in addition to a couple of meat and potatoes folks) and our waiter was able to make recommendations that left everyone's needs met and our palate's satisfied.
I have anaphylactic food allergies, and tend to avoid going out to eat (nothing ruins a date night faster than an ambulance ride to the ER). I called beforehand to find out if there were any dishes I could safely eat (there was) and the manager asked me to still let the waiter know about my food allergies before ordering.
Staff were pleasantly surprised by my service dog remaining invisible, even after a gentleman walked by with his "service dog" that barked and lunged under my chair. The tables are a little close together for easy wheelchair use, I wouldn't go when I'm having a POTS flare, despite the tables being the correct height for my chair.
If you are a wheelchair user, I would recommend calling ahead and making a reservation, and requesting a table that is easily accessible (and not need to go beyond the cloth covered booths). The format of the tables does make it very easy for properly trained service dogs to tuck under the tables and remain invisible to patrons and out of the way of staff...even my mastiff/lab cross was easily able to tuck under the table and minimally impact the person seated across from me (they just had to be mindful to not kick her, they said she was completely out of their way).
The food was so good, and kitchen staff did such an amazing job at not permitting cross contact with my allergens, Thursday night may have been my first time at Seasons 52, but it definitely won't be my last!
Gluten free, dairy free and nightshade fruit free meal!
It has been a long time since I have been to Pei Wei. The other location cooking area was so dirty that I stopped eating at any Pei Wei locations. It was next door to a store that I was shopping in, so I decided to give Pei Wei another chance.
Gluten free, vegetarian and kid's menu options are absolutely available. There are more options on the restaurant's menu than on the website. Clean restaurant and cooking area. Good customer service. However, I ordered a very spicy Kung Pao Shrimp and it had way too many carrots in it, just a few shrimp. In addition, ordered a kid's meal and meal had to be remade because it contained wrong protein.
Will I be back to any Pei Wei? Probably not. Pei Wei seems to have lost its appeal.
Perhaps you'll have a better experience than I have. Best of luck to you!
Pros: The atmosphere is lovely. The space is beautifully decorated, I enjoy the music and the vibe, there is dog friendly outdoor space available also. They have vegan and GF food options if that is your thing.
Cons: The service is slow. Generally there is only one person out front, so they have to alternate between taking orders and making drinks, neither of which happens quickly.
The coffee is not particularly good - over roasted and bitter. If it were reasonably priced, that might be ok, but it isn't. They *upcharge* for dairy. They only have a few flavors of syrup. One barista (may have been the owner) commented on processed ingredients when I asked for white chocolate. I get living your ethos through your business practices, but I was there for an iced coffee, not a commentary on my lifestyle choices.
All of the pastries are gluten free and they taste like they are made of sand - plus expensive. If I pay $5 for a muffin, it better be the best muffin I've ever had in my life. Spoiler alert: it isn't. They don't have cups for iced drinks (I'm assuming because of the plastic aspect), so they put them in the cups for the hot drinks, which get flimsy.
So, to summarize...if you are an entitled, gluten free vegan with a lot of spare time and disposable income, and you don't care if your food is edible or your coffee tastes good, this is 100% the place for you.
If you, like me, are a dairy-drinking, gluten munching, single use plastic using sinner, I highly recommend Coffee Apothecary for outstandingly delicious coffee with rock solid sourcing practices & environmental ethics and considerate, competent local service. Or Koko for a great drink selection and many delicious food items, healthy or indulgent or both.
I don't think I'll be going back. But yeah, save the world by charging for cow's milk, go for it.
The food is AMAZING here! Me and my family always get some empanadas and arepas. The people who work here are also very nice and helpful. Me and my family are gluten free and dairy free and are able to eat the empanadas and arepas!
I can't even explain how GOOD everything is. I have tried so many gluten free goodies, and these ones are the best. Honestly, I haven't stopped dreaming of the apple fritter since I had it! Can't wait to find these out and about and even place an order too!
Restaurant advertises itself as 100% gluten free, but uses “Takis” as a bowl addition. Takis are not gluten free according to the brand website. The Notorious Poke is NOT safe for celiacs or those who are gluten intolerant. Owners need to better inform themselves on which ingredients and foods are gluten free and not gluten free as the safety of their customers should be top priority.
