LA OTILIA

La Otilia is the perfect place to eat if you have dietary restrictions or a specific diet. They have gluten-free, keto, vegan, paleo, and other options. This time, we ordered a Hawaiian pizza. Although they recommend sharing it, I feel like the portion is personal. For dessert, we ordered a lemon pie and a gansito (my favorite!), along with smoothies (red berries, coconut yogurt, and ginger). The place is pet-friendly 🐶💙 and they have dog treats. The staff is very friendly 🙌🏼

NOT RECOMMENDED! Flavor: 80/100 The consistency is poor; there are places with food with better consistency and flavor. They use cumin and go overboard, robbing the dish of its flavor. Quality: 60/100 They brought some waffles with strawberries that looked and tasted bad, and the almonds were a bit stale. Variety: 100/100 Cleanliness: 30/100 It seems like they opened it and never cleaned it thoroughly. In the bathroom, the toilet where you sit was dirty. The cushions have NEVER been cleaned. There are cobwebs. The menus are dirty. The display cases are dirty. Atmosphere: 40/100 Between the music, which has poor sound quality and the cleanliness, it doesn't create a good atmosphere. Service: 80/100 The staff is friendly, but they need to pay more attention to several details. Plus, there were only two people: the chef and Batista, who also serves as a waiter. I ordered: 1. Strawberry waffles, which looked bad with rancid almonds. The waffle consistency wasn't good. 2. Lasagna, which was the only thing I liked. 3. Egg shakshuka: the cumin was too much, which makes it unenjoyable. Unless you're a cumin lover, order them. If not, don't order them at all. They accept cards and cash. It's pet-friendly. Parking: You can leave your car outside on the street. It's NOT wheelchair-accessible. If you're hungry and have celiac disease, go ahead, but there are some restrictions. Although you can look for better options.

I’ve been to MANY gluten free bakeries around the world and this is the worst I’ve ever eaten at. Everything crumbles apart and is served cold (even the warm dishes they bring out cold). It took them 30 minutes to bring our food for it to be cold and dry. We were the only people there at 9am. Unless you are vegan and gluten free and don’t have any other choice, I’d highly recommend skipping this place. It is not worth the money or extended time you’ll wait to get your cold food.
