DELICIOUS!!! The flavor was mouthwatering! TOTALLY GLUTEN FREE TOO! First time I’ve had a quesadilla on a small tortilla in years no dining out.
Highly recommended.
Evolution is a true gem for anyone seeking exceptional plant-based cuisine. As someone who values both vegan and gluten-free options, I was glad to discover this restaurant that offers both. The kitchen clearly takes pride in making everything fresh from scratch, and you can absolutely taste the difference in every bite.
While the interior seating is limited, the atmosphere actually adds to the charm of the dining experience. The staff are knowledgeable about the ingredients and care about ensuring every guest has a great meal.
Don’t skip dessert! Their gluten-free vegan desserts are absolutely divine and prove that dietary restrictions don’t mean sacrificing your indulgences. Evolution has mastered the art of creating delicious, wholesome food that happens to be vegan.
Highly recommend for vegans, those with gluten sensitivities, and really anyone who appreciates freshly prepared food. I plan to be returning soon! Enjoy eating more plant based foods.

BEWARE. The Gluten Free (GF) Labels on the menu mean GF options available for that dish, NOT that the dish is gluten free. Talk to your server about your order.
I was excited when seeing the GF labels all over the menu, especially when seeing that most of those dishes involved pita bread. Sadly after talking to the bartender I learned that their pita is (obviously) not GF. Their rice pilaf also has soy sauce in it, so do not just assume the dish is GF even though they are labeled GF. Service was great and the food was good. Pricey, but normal for the gaslamp area and it was very tasty.
This is a really solid happy hour spot in the neighborhood! If you’re looking to stay gluten-free or are hanging with somebody who is GF, I’d recommend Bivouac.
The space is really cool; feels like a camping lodge! Lots of warm wood, climbing ropes, etc.
The meatballs and polenta bites were flavorful, delicious, reasonably priced and portioned, & had strong sauce/dip-pairings.
Service was okay. Not super attentive, and the flight took over 10 minutes to come out, which was weird, since the place wasn’t that busy. They ignored us a bit once some influencers showed up, meh.
Watch out for the pricing on the cider flights! (Meaning, there IS no listed price… think it was like $18 each? For 3 tasters.)
The hummus/crudites appetizer is underwhelming, as the veggies could be cut less coarsely, and the hummus was disarmingly minty (and not enough for all the dipping objects).

We loved Puesto!! I have a tomato and gluten allergy which is often tough at Mexican restaurants, but our server was super helpful and accommodating! The meal was some of the best Mexican food we’ve had, highly recommend!!
Great place for eating gluten free. Menu has gluten free items clearly marked. When I asked about adding a pro my salad, server made sure I understood that all their proteins are grilled (no breading or coating) so no gluten goes on the grill.

They have some delicious gluten reduced beers. They limit tasters to 2 at a time. Wish they offered a full test flight. They also don’t fill growlers. Prices are decent though so it’s worth buying in cans. Really cool space that’s great for families or just a couple buddies.
Love that this spot has healthy options and includes whether or not items on the menu are gluten free and dairy free. They also have a lot meals catered towards high protein.
I have Celiac (avoid gluten like my life depends on it). Tons of options. Super safe/ knowledgeable about cross contamination. EXCELLENT service (shoutout Catalina). Steak, broccolini and mashed was amazing w the peppercorn sauce.
100% recommend
Was skeptical coming here as I thought it was only a Vegan place, however some of their food can be made to be vegan or gluten free. The Carne Asada was flavorful in the big breakfast burrito. My favorite thing was the Vegan Horchata Latte. I will be dreaming about that drink until the next time I come back to San Diego to visit.
From the outside looking in it looked very elegant and nice but once inside it's a mass of chatter and some tables even yelling to just have a simple conversation. It's an open atrium, so naturally that allows flying critters to accompany your meal. You could not have a nice quiet dinner. The menu has limited gluten free options but some are available but as with any place the possibility of cross contamination is always a possibility. Our server was very polite and knowledgeable with the menu options. Food was slow to come out but tasted very good.
It was our 21st anniversary so the wife and I decided to go someplace with a nice view that was a bit more expensive FOR US, than normal.
I was a bit annoyed to start when all the parking was taken while the valet spots had many many spots available. I realize it’s only $10 plus tip but when you save for a fancy meal, you should anticipate that. The staff let me know that rarely happens. But it did happen to me.
Once we got to our seats it was worth it. The view is gorgeous. The food was pretty good in that our carne asada was extremely tender. Must’ve been a great cut of meat. Upscale Mexican is not quite the same for me when we live by so many good Mexican places. But for a tourist, I’m sure it’s perfect.
Beyond the view I felt our waiter was the best part of the meal. His name was Matthew. He was patient with us and very helpful with the gluten free items since I have celiac disease. (I didn’t get sick btw)
He was nice and as talkative as we wanted. We never felt rushed and we actually appreciated how he went out of his way to assure us to tarry. Our dessert was nice and the cafe moto coffees were excellent.
If I were a bit more wealthy and not a pastor, we would probably visit even more.
I’ve been here before but this was least favorite experience. It’s gone downhill each year I try it. The service was incredibly slow and we couldn’t even get the check to leave. Food was subpar and if you have a gluten or wheat allergy- the food is heavily cross contaminated. I would not eat here with allergies.
My kids love to eat here but this place is grungy. Every time I go in I’m repulsed by how filthy it is. The quality of food at this location is also not fantastic. I once got a salad here with slimy lettuce and sparse toppings. Tonight we went and I usually don’t order anything for myself because I am very gluten and dairy sensitive and I don’t trust them to make the food correctly - I reiterated several times that there must be no dairy of any kind and that I would appreciate them changing their gloves etc so I don’t get sick. Of course they brought my food out with cheese on it (this is not a first which is why I normally order nothing for myself) - this is after being reassured by the cashier she would “let the cooks know” which I am sure never happened. They need way better training about food allergies and they need to put some elbow grease into cleaning this place up!!

Ordered a Chillaxin (house tequila “gluten free” infused with cucumbers, agave, served over ice) and a Spicy Jalisco Mule (house tequila “gluten free”, lime juice, agave serrano syrup, ginger beer). Then we had 2-3 shots of Don Julio. Also we shared 2 orders of Empanada Poppers (fresh corn masa, spicy cream cheese, avocado tomatillo salsa), Spicy Adobo Wings (chipotle, citrus, pineapple glaze - this stuff was so spicy) and finally Pollo Asado Nachos (creamy queso, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, black beans, pickled jalapeños). Everything was great just a bit pricey but the service was fantastic!
My neighborhood favorite. The breakfast especially is delicious and all the food is definitively authentic. You can eat your whole plate until you're full and regardless, will not feel heavy.
Gluten free options galore. Celiac safe / celiac friendly.
Great food! Great drinks! Great View! They worked with us to make their birria tacos gluten- and dairy-free to accommodate one of us. And the wahoo tacos were amazing!
Delicious! We stumbled upon the great little taco shop after visiting the gluten-free bakery next door. We ordered a burrito with beef, chicken and shrimp and scarfed it down!
Hope you like birria! I can see why Mike’s Red Tacos is so highly rated. The flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and everything is packed with rich and savory. I got the Cali Burrito, and it was incredible—perfectly seasoned birria, crispy fries, and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. Personally, I’d skip the $2 consomé as the beef birra is already excellent.
My partner had the veggie tacos, and they were equally delicious, full of fresh ingredients and great texture. I believe they was vegan and gluten free.

I’ve gotten rolled tacos here for about 18 years and they’re still amazing. Their yellow pepper salsa is so good I could drink it! Today I needed to pick up food for a (severely) gluten free friend and they were super helpful.
I gave 5 stars as us like to return to try different options as I may not have chosen the best. Cute place. Order at the counter, then brought to your table. That day the counter person could not recommend what beer may have been gluten free. And it was a truck to get salsa. However happy to try again.
Loved this place!
First time, had the queso birria tacos. A little too oily but, OMG, so good! Lots of gluten-free options. Everything tasted fresh and authentic!
Tequila was a little weak but maybe I just drank it too fast and missed the buzz.
😁
Best shrimp tacos I’ve ever had ! Large grilled shrimp with cilantro and sauce that was amazing . We’ll be back often!. Also gluten-free which is a bonus for my hubby 😊
