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 🧡
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!!
Service was excellent. The attention to detail is amazing. Absolutely beautiful atmosphere. The gluten free menu looked almost exactly like the regular and was pretty tasty.
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!
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 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.
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.
Now that I’ve traveled around New Mexico, I realize just how good La Cueva is. Well versed in Gluten-free and helpful ad our daughter had celiac. No nonsense service. They know what they are doing and happy answer questions. I have not had chile relleno in years and this did not disappoint. My 15 year old did not believe me that it is good, but loved the chile relleno here. Very flavorful. My son loved his chimichanga and our 22 year old had the huitlacoche (corn fungus) enchiladas. Great flavor. We had huitlacoche while living in Mexico and were converted.
Lots of cheese! Good but heavy. There is a lot of cheese on the food in NM. I love it but can’t eat this way everyday. 😂
Indoor and outdoor seating.
The food was delicious and the staff is friendly! They have gluten free bread available and free ice cream on tap. I’d recommend the Chipotle Chicken & Avocado Panini.
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.
The food here is delicious, and the portion sizes on many of the dishes are quite large, which my family likes! Gluten-free options are available upon request.
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.
Casual and homey. Loved the enchiladas and huevos rancheros. Also had the salmon tacos and, tres peaches, wedding cookies, and gluten-free pie. Well priced. Will definitely stop by again!
The best🎉 vegan restaurant my family and I visited so far in the USA🌞👌🌟. We were passing by Santa Fe and needed to choose a place to eat. Being vegetarians, we always try to find good vegan or vegetarian places to eat. And, after finding this restaurant and seeing some bad reviews that people of Indian origin wrote I knew I would love the place: if they think the food isn't spicy🔥🔥 enough for them it means that people CAN actually eat it and not burn the hole in their stomachs and feel all the flavors and shades of different vegetables and varieties of delicious dishes. I have lived in India, and I can relate. Plus, with us we had a doctor who does some energetic healing 🧘♀️🧘 and it was his first experience of eating Vata-Pitta-Kappha balanced food and he said he felt energetically much better after having it (he had some stressfull days prior)- he got the "South Indian Sampler" dish wich is all doshas balansing (the menu said that).
Special thank you for your vegan and gluten free sweets: it's really rare find to get that good of the deserts that are tasty and won't give you a diabetic coma :))). Just enough amount of sugar for me❤️
Very friendly and caring personell🤗.
Will come again to eat here when visiting this beautiful and vibrant city😎💓🫶💫
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!
Seems like the Flying Star has been around for 40 years now...and ABQ staple! Great deserts and a fun place to hang out. Love their breakfasts. It's not their hay day anymore, but still solid. Good gluten free options.
I really enjoy there pizza, love that I can pick and choose what I like on it. I get the gluten free and I like that it’s not hard as a cracker, it was soft. My husband gets the regular bread and really enjoys their pizza. Clean tidy place, great employees.
If you have to order gluten free, I wouldn’t recommend this pizza. Overpriced at $30.00 for a small gluten free pizza with two toppings. Crust was so soggy, loaded with sauce and clumped on cheese. Was not appetizing. Overall not great experience, long wait only to be told half my order could not be filled then left with a pizza I ended up just tossing. Just warning those with gluten sensitivity, there are better options at other restaurants.
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.
Stopped in to try one of their gluten free pizzas and it was fantastic. We have the Taos and the favor was delicious. The crust - gluten-free- was the best I have tried to date. It was crisp with a slightly chewy center. 10 out of 10. And no issues or gluten reaction today. Perfect.
We loved that the restaurant had so many gluten-free options, and that the staff took such care in cooking and presenting gluten-free foods. We loved the shrimp enchiladas and the tacos.
Justice the bartender was very friendly and attentive. My drinks came out yummy. The appetizers were out fast and hot. I love that there is a gluten free option for the pizza. Our food came out hot and correct. I will definitely be back.
Tj was our waiter and he was super nice and sweet. My daughter said 10/10 for service. We were there for my youngest daughter’s birthday and he was so nice about it! I hope we get him as a waiter next time we come here!! Food and drinks were great, lots of gluten free options.
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!
Even during the busy breakfast/lunch hour we are always seated quickly. There’s an extensive menu with many gluten free options. Food is delicious and wait staff is quick to check on you. Only downside is the noise level. It’s sometimes difficult to carry on a conversation in certain parts of the restaurant.
Awesome place. They have gluten-free and vegan/vegetarian options for my wife and normal food for us regular folks 😁. Will definitely be going back for another date night. The staff was awesome and took time to answer all my wife's questions. Super awesome place.
It's a great place to hang out, and it used to be one of my favorite places to grab coffee and a treat. I don't mind paying a little more because things cost more. But the quality has really dropped.
But there's always french fries or the other pastry options. I hope they continue to create gluten-free options!
Great food and great service with almost everything gluten free options! I have celiac disease, so having a big salad bar and menu of gluten free options is huge

The gluten free pancakes are delicious!. They messed up our order and it was delayed by 30 min.. A little misplacing of our order. But I would come back! The place was clean and we beat the Sunday brunch rush! Great place!
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).
Unreal!! Food was amazing and so good if you like a little spice. They have the option to make sauce gluten free which was great. Drunken noodles were a 10/10
Fabulous gluten free pita! Literally one of the best gluten free substitutes you can get in town and they're really consistent, and also great at labeling the orders so we don't get mixed up (I have celiac, my other half does not). We order food here like once a week and it's always great! Fresh, delicious meats, salad and patates. Never change!
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
Very creative food and cocktail menus. Food was beautiful in presentation and delicious. For those avoiding gluten, nearly everything on the menu was GF.
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!
Buffett lunch for nearly 100 people; fresh salad and hot dishes. Nicely done. Several gluten free options (host and others needed gluten free). The room we were in was quite beautiful, fresh, alive. Felt like we were outside in the sun, but we were inside.
Service staff were outstanding. Always close by without hovering. Quick service.
Food was pretty good.
However, the sopaipilla "walls" were quite thick. Almost like a slice of bread was flattened and deep fried. Not very enjoyable.
Overall, though, one of my better visits to El Pinto.
