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 🧡
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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

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).
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!
It is with great sadness that I rate flying star only 3 stars. several years ago, restaurant had two or three wonderful options for those of us who cannot eat wheat. (Gluten-free pastries) Since then, they have discontinued one and then the other and then another of their gluten-free products, moved them around, switch them out, and now seem to have only one... which is the gluten-free very berry scone. Somehow, in the process have also made the scone almost inedible (!?!) It used to be a little crumbly, a little dry, but basically very tasty and a good substitute for someone who cannot no longer enjoy the finer things in life that containing the wheat grain. But they've changed the recipe or the cooking method or something. (My suspicion is they've cut back butter (again) and perhaps changed some other ingredients?) but the scone is pretty much almost inedible now - unless I take it home, moisten it up with some mist from my kitchen sprayer, and heat it very gently in the microwave. Which totally misses the point of going to the café in the afternoon for a coffee and pastry.
Coffee and pastries used to be one of the greatest joys in my life. Now that my intestines tell me I cannot eat wheat. I relied on some of the wonderful inventions that Flying Star used to have (such as the morning glory muffin. Which was moist and sweet and tasty. And now... gone.) Each time they make a change they seem to cut out one of the things that brings me in... and pretty soon there will be nothing left.
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!!
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!
The online menu serves no justice compared to going in and catching the vibe. I wanted to order 3 different meals 😩 I don't know how I missed the mac n cheese grilled cheese sandwich but, that's what I ordered thankful that the employee sold me by simply giving me my choices. When I come back to visit this is for sure on my must-eat list. They have gluten-free opinions which works out as well for those who have celiac. Yes. I was very big backed eating this 😆 🤣
Superb pizza and several gluten free (GF) options available. Homemade tiramisu was delicious. Definitely get extra cheese (I agree with pizza reviews for NM that several places skimp a bit). Did not try any wine. Free parking available.
We've been coming here for many many years. They have a gluten-free menu, and vegetarian options as well. The dining area is open with separate sections on the sides for family or get- togethers. Outside, they have a dining patio for warmer weather.
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.
The gluten free options are clearly marked on the menu, and the food is delicious! The Medium heat level was too spicy for me, but the Mild was just right and very flavorful!
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!
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!
I love Flying Star, the coffee is great and the pastries are delicious! Lots of great options - salads, sandwiches, and bowls! Gluten free and vegan options as well!
Honestly one of the best places to get pizza or cheesy bread (which honestly best cheesy bread I’ve had in a lonnggg time).
I wish other restaurants had employees that were so good at their jobs. They are always so nice and they nail the orders on the head every time. The lady with glasses that works the take out area needs a special shout-out for being so awesome and just thank y’all for really giving such good customer service in a world where it is harder to find.
Also, best Gluten free pizza in ABQ
Dez, Mya, Ben and David are absolutely great! I went in around 3 ish and the service was quick and efficient! My first time actually being in the restaurant and my second time enjoying the deliciousness! I just recently moved to the area and was looking for a new pizza place and this one takes the cake! It's also conveniently right across the street from where I work which is a huge plus!! My non cheese pizza was cooked to perfection! The service was A+. The wait time was non existent! Vegan and gluten free options! They have a nice alcohol selection! Who doesn't like pizza and beer! Definitely recommend trying this place out! 10/10!
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!
