Delicious. Great service. Dedicated gluten free options

Toni Tan

Almost all foods are gluten free!!

ABQ Sits

Worth the wait! Great place for the gluten avoidant.

Marina Hein

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!!

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.

No One

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

WG Rivera

Great gluten free pizza!

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.

Liv Campbell

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!

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!

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!

Malcolm Reese

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

Kathleen David

Amazing gluten free crepes. So delicious! Coffee is great, atmosphere wonderful.

Callahan Droitsch

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

TK O'Geary

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.

Boygirl Collection

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 😆 🤣

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.

They have some gluten-free food options available, just ask. I was there to meet two friends from out of town and they raved about the fish and chips but I was not able to indulge due to my celiac. We arrived around 4 pm and it wasn't too crowded but the place was packed when we left. Overall, it was enjoyable for everyone in my group.

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.

Kimberly Brewster

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!

BreAnn Kathman

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!

Jennifer Nisengard

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!

Love this place. Always outstanding vegan food. I look forward to more gluten free options in the future so my wife can enjoy more options.

Fresh and delicious food. I appreciate the use of local organic ingredients and the gluten free options.

Sad to write a bad review because the sopapillas here were delicious , fresh and hot but everything else was a big let down. Our waitress, although was very nice, thought we wanted gluten free because we said dairy free and without discussing with us ordered our "burrito " with corn tortillas. We were excited to try the house-made flour tortillas that burritos are traditionally wrapped in and ordered a burrito as one of our two dishes. We were eating it regardless of it tasting really weird because they were super busy, we didn’t see our waitress while being very hungry and we don't typically send back food for just not being good to avoid waste. However, at some point we realized the tortillas were corn and not flour like indicated on the menu (and most burritos are) and were basically an unbaked corn enchilada instead of the burrito we selected. When we saw the waitress we checked in with her and she responded well and said made a mistake and will refund the burrito plate. However when she brought the check it wasn't fully refunded, just a credit. Turned out the manager wasn't going to refund it even though the waitress said she would and only offered a partial credit. I kindly but assertively requested a full refund and unlike the response of the waitress, the floor manager argued that we ate the "burrito" even when I explained we noticed it wasn't right but didn't know what the problem was and thought we just didn't like it. It was ofcourse after a 30 min wait for a table and it was hard to even pin down the waitress to check in about it. While the waitress and myself had a polite and calm interaction about it , I found the floor manager to be quite unprofessional, rude and condescending. He did refund fully in the end but even after doing so was very rude. Really weird to keep arguing that we ate and didn't say anything right away when they didnt serve us the burrito we ordered and until we realized it was a mistake we just thought it was a bac meal. I'd think it would be more important to a respectable restaurant to not have customers think they serve bad burritos. So I don't recommend this place even though the sopapillas and the local raw honey were good. Our other plate was better than the "burrito " but their chile sauces were kinda meh for us too. I recommend El Patio or Duran's Station instead.

Madcrema is such a gem! The food and coffee are absolutely delicious—and at a great price. The atmosphere is cozy, cute, and has that perfect homestyle feel that makes you want to stay a while. I love that they offer vegan and gluten-free options too. You can really tell they care about the details, from roasting their own beans to creating a space where everyone feels welcome. Can’t wait to come back!

I booked a reservation for 28 people. M'tucci's 25 provided superb service. Restaurant was ready for entire group. When the first member arrived early, she was asked if she needed anything. She asked for water and a small table to greet people and have them sign birthday cards. M'tucci's staff delivered both. I was delighted to see gluten-free indicators on the menu. The pork chop piccata was yummy. Great salad. Group members loved the food and service.

Very accommodating to customers with gluten and dairy allergies. The green chile enchiladas were excellent! The dining room wasn't especially clean and my table was sticky, but the food and the service were great! I would definitely recommend!

Stephen Burke

I contacted Cocina Azul to query them about gluten free, and they do not use flour in any of their cooking. Sopapillas are separate. We needed takeout for one GF celiac, one vegetarian, and one no issues. We ordered three different enchilada plates to go meeting all our requirements. The staff was responsive and clear, and the food was good.

Lauren Cordova

The food is AMAZING here! Me and my family always get some empanadas and arepas. The people who work here are also very nice and helpful. Me and my family are gluten free and dairy free and are able to eat the empanadas and arepas!

Love the new spot at The Imperial, so glad we went! Excellent vibes. Hope people know the empanadas are gluten-free, made with white corn flour. Got the criollo plate so I could try it all, but I want to try everything! Nicest lady too, get her food, she’s amazing!

Sheera Lum

This place makes my week every time I go. It is such a peaceful place to spend my lunch hour, and the person working the register manages to calm my soul no matter what kind of day I am having. The food is so wholesome and intentionally made with good-for-you ingredients. My go-to favorite dish as of late is the gluten-free chicken pesto crepe.

Excellent breakfast. Very accomidating with our Keto diet. They have a gluten free menu. Bottom line. It would be a regular stop if I lived here.

Shawn Young

Great food, I need to to eat gluten free and vegan, my wife doesn't. We both enjoy eating here.

Such an awesome place to study and work or hang out. Literally the only “problems” are great problems-they run out of gluten free goodies too fast because they are so delicious (especially the Bundt cakes) and sometimes it’s hard to find seating because they are so popular (for good reason). Good matcha which is surprisingly hard to find, good people who work there, good herbal teas, good dogs abound. Manama tacos right there is also great for solid breakfast btw.

Aunt Betty

what a lovely delicious wonderful meal in a convivial atmosphere, on the patio, in front of this "second life" gas station turned top tier Italian Roma restaurant. Executive Chef & Sous Chef are making all the right calls here . when applicable, menu items clearly marked gluten free & organic . Great Wine List ! the touches - blackberries, capons, meringue on the gluten free mocha cheesecake - - the pickled onions & goat cheese on our salad - can't say enough about it all . Thank you for opening a true restaurant without screens everywhere - with linen napkins & great service .
