I visited yesterday, Sunday, June 22nd, I was only going for cake because of the
Bad experience I had at The Buttery, but we ended up ordering 4 tuna tostadas, which are delicious. I mean, they're a staple, but the chipotle sauce with the tuna and the good consistency of the tostadas. And when you add the habanero onions, the cake is delicious. Needless to say, for me, who can't eat gluten, it's delicious.
I ordered an Americano coffee, I didn't like it at all. It was too strong, so I left it.
The cayo hacha tostadas were delicious. I recommend them, but if you can, skip them. Or if you want to try the cayo hacha prepared this way, it's not bad, but for $239 pesos for 1 piece, it's better to have another tuna tostadas and some lemon water with chia seeds. Delicious, that's all I tried. This time I'll go back for the red snapper.
Awesome atmosphere and very good food. I have celiac disease and heard this was a good option for gluten free—our waiter kind of seemed to get it but then brought out my dessert (mango sorbet) on a bed of cookie crumbles, after confirming with me that this would be the one safe dessert option…so can’t say that they really get it as well as other restaurants in the area. Try at your own risk.
The cactus tartar was really interesting. Kind of on the sour side but refreshing. I think Antolina offers good dishes, drinks, service, and cozy atmosphere. Also, they do take note of people who need gluten free options.
Forgot to post this review...
Dined on Oct 14, 2024 based on strong reviews about their ability to accommodate allergies, but unfortunately left feeling that my dietary restrictions were not taken seriously.
Upon arrival, the hostess asked if anyone in our party had allergies. I informed her that I have Celiac disease and a tree nut/peanut allergy. She relayed this to our server upon seating us. I also provided the server with printed allergy cards (in both English and Spanish), which he took a photo of for future reference. However, he did not read them at that time.
As we began ordering, I found myself needing to ask detailed questions about each dish to determine whether it was safe, as I wasn’t confident the server fully understood the severity or specifics of my allergies. For instance, I asked about the blackened octopus dish, which included tempura. I inquired if it was made with rice or wheat flour—he confirmed it was wheat, and simply told me to order something else. I would have appreciated more proactive guidance through the menu to identify safe options rather than needing to question each item myself.
I also specifically asked him to review the Spanish side of my allergy cards, as I suspected some of the details were being lost in translation. However, he appeared to skim only the beginning before returning the cards.
We ordered: pulled duck tostadas, molcajeteada with fresh (non-fried) corn tortillas, the seasonal chef’s tamal, pork ribs, al pastor tacos, and wagyu skirt tacos.
At one point, another server brought a complimentary sope with beans, avocado sauce, and chilies. I had to ask whether it was safe for me to eat (it was).
Later, during the tableside preparation of molcajeteada salsa, our server asked if the “deep-fried” peppers used were safe for me. I once again raised concerns about the fryer and potential cross-contact. He confirmed it was not safe and quickly stopped the other server from proceeding.
After the molcajeteada, there was a noticeable lull in service. Eventually, our server returned with a dessert menu, despite us still waiting on several dishes we had ordered. When we inquired, he checked the system and said, “No, it’s not working,” without further explanation.
At that point, we requested the bill and left.
Unfortunately, I did not feel safe dining here. While there was some initial acknowledgment of my allergies, the follow-through and attentiveness throughout the meal were lacking, leaving me uneasy and disappointed.
What a gem! Such nice ambience with fantastic and outstanding service. Our food came fast and was delicious. Glutenfree and dairyfree was easy to accommodate and the waitress was knowledgeable. We would come back any time.

Pujol, honestly, fantastic experience, but I'm retracting 1 star for a total of 4 because of 2 reasons.
1. The famous mole which is older than most children I know was not all that great. The newer fresh mole was better but still not the best mole I've had.
2. The cost. For the alcohol pairing with the multiple course menu for two, we paid a hefty note of $600 USD, including tip.
For similar experiences and charges at high-end restaurants, I've paid a little more than half that, which baffled me because eating in Mexico is fairly inexpensive.
That being said, excellent staff, mostly delicious food, and the gluten-free experience was as easy as it gets.
Wow what a place. Food was delicious, staff very attentive (and speak very good English). A huge bonus is that the owner is coeliac/celiac and gluten free items are labelled on the menu, of which most are! Great to feel safe eating authentic food.
Situated in a lively market, this is not one to miss.
We had reservations and seated immediately. The restaurant was full on a Saturday. Fabian was our waiter and he was wonderful. We were seated at the balcony edge. It is a bit chilly and people take photos there to look over the plaza but we did not care
The food here was the best we have had and great value.
We started with wine all from Mexico. Choices limited however we were happy with our choices. Next we had the salad with bacon and spiced nuts. Tacos we had the fish and octopus. Fish was better. Next steak and fish. The steak was perfectly cooked and the mustard sauce was a perfect compliment. The fish was very good but the steak was better. Lastly we had a slight communication lapse where I got the almond ice cream and cream cone and my daughter got the sorbet. She is gluten free and we thought we ordered two sorbets but it was fine We just did nit share that item. They also brought gluten free crackers instead of bread. Very accommodating.
The views were beautiful at sunset the food was delicious the service great. I would definitely recommend
Best vegan tacos of my life- they were able to adapt them to make them gluten free. Their homemade vegan cheese was unbelievably yummy & their sugar free all natural sodas left me wanting more

10 course lunch over 3 hours with friends on a perfect autumnal day in CDMX: life doesn’t get much better. The food and service were exquisite with white Bordeaux to match. Some dishes contain insects (not visibly) and almost none contain gluten. It is not cheap but this level of cuisine might unaffordable in other cities, even if you could get a table.
I really liked the tacos. Most things are made from corn, so I was able to eat here without any problems although according to me there are no extra gluten-free options.
Wonderful experience, like in this place and everything is delicious, especially the duck, it is very worth it, and they also have exquisite gluten-free bread. Very good service. Ideal place to celebrate special occasions
Super good place! Very nice and they have quite a few gluten-free options, they are also trained on allergies and intolerances. I tried Hoja Santa and I loved it. We will return!
