I was so excited to try Colonia Verde but sadly left very disappointed. While most of the menu is marked gluten free, for some reason they use a shared fryer.
The place is beautiful, but the food is just OK. I had the mushroom tacos and the picanha, and to be honest they were just fine. Our waiter seemed a little confused around what was safe for celiac or not, which again was just disappointing given how well the menu is marked!
Hands down my favorite restaurant! This place is been a god-send for an ex-meat eater who looooooooved birria tacos. Their vegan version, served with a side of consome, is unbelievable. Fatty, meaty, cheesy, all the things I loved in my favorite indulgence meal, without any of the animal products. I have a hard time branching out and trying new things because the birria tacos are just too damn good to pass up. I also love to start with the nachos, substituting the chorizo for jackfruit so my celiac partner can share. And if you can manage to leave room, the churros with coconut cream are also incredibleeeeeeeeeeee.
The restaurant itself is lovely, nicely decorated and clean, though I love to grab a table out front when the weather allows. Servers are always friendly and pleasant, though, it can get quite busy and service can understandably be a bit slower during peak hours, so I prefer to go in the late afternoon between lunch and dinner when they aren’t so busy.
Great variety of gluten free options. All dishes we ordered were delicious (arepitas, cachapitas, bollitos, héritage tomato salad) . Authentic Venezuelan food with Venezuelan service. Beautiful interior, somewhat noisy.
Beautiful restaurant with an intimate, artistic vibe. I love coming here, the food is consistently good and the atmosphere is great. The fresh made tortillas are one of the best parts of this place! I would come here for a date I want to impress or for a cute night with a friend or small group! Such a gem of a restaurant! The entire menu is gluten free and the tortillas are 100% corn, all celiac safe too!
Been stopping in here for 3 years now for the tangy BST! They have good gluten free bread and can make any of the sandwiches on it. I’m celiac and haven’t ever had a reaction to cross contamination from them. Great space, calm vibe, and a nice outdoor seating area. If you want a quick cold brew or a place to work its good for both!
