Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Albuquerque

Ralph Gloor

ausmalen Space with delicious 🌱 vegan brunch options- and Gluten-free if wanted. tasty and flavorful- and if the temperatures would have permitted- sitting outside would give the ambience 5 Stars ;-)

So far have had the salmon lox, chicken and waffles, goat cheese and cherry, and some sort of potato waffle. they’ve all been spectacular. The waffles are fluffy and sweet. Extra brownie points for having plenty of delicious gluten free options. The restaurant itself leaves much to be desired. A lot of it is simple maintenance and upkeep issues. Also limited seating inside but plenty outside.

Maren Ott

Ate here twice in a week visit, because hot dogs are always good, and almost the whole menu can be made gluten free. Lots of creative specials, or build your own for the best experience. Tots are super crispy, and so tasty they need no sauce. Good enough to have regulars that eat there every day.

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!!

Patricia Valderrama

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.

Peggy Borchardt

The food is good. However, the menu declares gluten free on their omelet menus yet this is a stretch. Yes, the egg dish is gluten free, however the English muffin that comes with it is not. Usually not an issue but I was informed it would cost an additional 75 cents per slice of gluten free bread and would be able to substitute potatoes for the additional price of a side dish. If they simply had substituted a slice of GF bread for the English muffin I wouldn’t consider even writing this.

By far my favorite pizza place in the city. It's so rare for an ABQ restaurant to have a menu that's got more than one gluten free option (or a gluten free option that is something other than salad), but Farina has gluten free pizza crusts and gluten free pastas. They have a huge selection! Not only that, but the gluten free pizza crust is soft, pillowy, and delicious--very different from the thin, soggy crust that lots of other places offer. It sometimes takes a little extra time for Farina to prepare gluten free dishes, but it's 100% worth the wait. The servers are always so knowledgeable and friendly. I've been coming here and bringing my friends here for years. Definitely recommend!

Matthew Brown

The food is always great and the atmosphere is pretty solid, relaxed and comfortable. I love the gluten free options. The service, though, can be very slow; sometimes it takes 25 minutes to get two scrambled eggs when the restaurant is almost empty. Perfectly friendly and competent counter staff, but about half the time I come here my food takes a comically long time to reach me.

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!

Stopped in here on Sunday for the first time for a coffee and scone. All of their baked goods looked delicious, and they had a gluten free option as well. They serve satellite coffee on site, and my Mexican Mocha was on point. The cafe was packed! So busy! The kind cashier said it’s always that busy on Sundays. It was very loud and was a bit too much stimulus for my husband and I to sit inside. We found a table in the sun outside (a bit too cold to sit outside otherwise in December), and enjoyed our coffee and pastry. Will definitely come back, but certainly not on a Sunday.

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

Pamela Cowan

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!

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

Cynny P

Great gluten free crapes! Cute space, unfortunately the service is not great.

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.

Best vegetarian gluten free burger I have ever had. They also have a delicious gluten not carrot cake and brownie. It’s challenging eating out with such an inconvenient allergy but I really appreciate that they have actual meal options and not just salads.

Deborah Smith

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.

Yecca A

Delicious!!! Good gluten free bun too. Fries were awesome.

Rich (Richyk)

Great place to eat if you have psoriasis or celiac disease best gluten free bread I've had in over 5 years. Will definitely be going back soon employees where awesome as well. Probably one of the best cheap places to eat for me because I have psoriasis and am gluten intolerant will highly recommend Jason's to friends and family. There sandwiches are extraordinary and full of flavor. Also they ask if you have allergies or if it's preferred when ordering gluten free and I liked that because it ensures your getting gluten free very thoughtful to the customer 5 out of 5 stars. Many drink flavors as well including teas and chocolate milk great for families that don't give there kids sodas. And the ice cream was really good for being soft served one of the best soft served ice cream I've ever had very fresh and super cold.

BenJoDan

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.

annie kennedy

great food, even have a gluten free and low carb menu

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!

Fyre Rain

Good food and good service, and they provided some extra corn tortillas for me (gluten sensitive). Very tasty meal.

Ashley

Rio Grande is my favorite location. It's always packed and sometimes it can be a challenge to find parking. Seating can be a challenge if the group is more than 2. Otherwise, even though it gets very busy, there's usually always available seating. Love the outdoor seating arrangement as well. Also stoked that they actually have a nice variety of gluten free options.

Dan and Debbie Y

Gluten free options! Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Super busy. Large portions. Loved it!!!! Our server (Madison) was great!

Ashley

I've been to both locations. The Santa Fe location I liked better. However, the Albuquerque better accommodates large groups. I recently went to the ABQ location with a large group, 30+ persons. We had 4 tables and 3 waiters/waitresses. Our waiter wasn't very attentive. However, he could have been overwhelmed by our group size... Some issues we had: We didn't receive sopapillas until the end of our meal, when we asked for them upon realizing all the other tables had some except for ours. We had to wait a while before being able to order our drinks and food. And asking for ketchup and extra napkins was a chore, we had to flag down our waiter. NOTE: Your bill automatically includes a 20% tip. So, even if the service isn't great, you have no choice but to tip at least 20%. I'm not sure how I feel about that.... As for the food, it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. There wasn't a whole lot of flavor. Regarding the menu: They had minimal vegetarian options. No vegan options. However, they were able to make some adjustments to the grilled veggie enchiladas for my friend so that it didn't include cheese. Gluten free options were not clearly specified. However, I just ordered a dish that used corn tortillas (chicken enchiladas). Overall, my experience is a 3/5. Not bad, but not great.

Jenna Davis

The menu was diverse. I had poached eggs with bacon. The kale salad honestly was my favorite, it was so good!! The chai tea was special and tasted homemade. I also got a chocolate chip gluten free cookie, with pistachio glaze. I loved their gluten free selection and knowledge! I came to work and have some lunch, it was a perfect location!

Hilary Walker

Vegos is an absolute joyful place to go. The ambiance is wonderful, the owners and staff are thoughtful and kind, the food is amazing. And I looove the new juices. If you're gluten-free, they are very accommodating! The elotes are sooo good.

SIDEKICK STER

LOVE THIS location of Jason's Deli on HOLLY! TYLER does a great job! All the workers are SO friendly, helpful. Shout out to America who's such a servant & always has a smile! I won't go to another location. The service & fresh food just isn't the same. Not to mention the GREAT, chill environment here. So many options to choose from as far as food! Including Gluten free options!

gk denos

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.

DJ H

Delicious food! Great gluten free options and server was very knowledgeable about GF. She also communicated the request to the kitchen. I will definitely have to try the GF pasta next time, the red chile pork was too enticing and was not disappointed! Highly recommend!

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!

Dani Boise

**Gluten Free pasta available** We had a great experience for our first time trying M'tucci's. Iggy was our waitress and I wanted to specifically call out Iggy for being awesome and attentive! I mentioned that I eat gluten free and Iggy made sure at every chance to help and let me know what dishes were (or were not) gluten free. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were on point too. The pork Bolognese was SO.DANG.GOOD! My husband got a pizza that he said was great. The house white was the perfect compliment to my meal. And it isn't on any of the menus (that we could find) but they do have beer as well. Thanks again to Iggy for your attentiveness and making it clear you remembered my dietary restriction throughout our meal, and the rest of the staff who were all very friendly & helpful.

Rachael Johnson

Wonderful find in ABQ. Many gluten and dairy free options, vegan meats and cheeses as well as delicious meat and dairy-full breakfasts. Not to miss if you’re driving through and absolutely become a regular if you live locally. We’ll be back, thank you Carol!

K C

What a great restaurant! This was our first time visiting and it was delicious. There were four of us and we all tried something different: the portobello burger and marsala fries with a homemade bun, the gluten free eggplant wrap with the spicier lentil soup, the beet salad, and the South Indian sample platter. Everything was fresh, reasonably priced, the staff was friendly, and plenty of parking. We were all very happy with our meals even the 2 meat eaters in the group. We all recommend the food and will definitely go back again.

Jonathan Baucom

My server was very nice and friendly. The gluten free club sandwich lacked any effort other than to assemble the pieces. Everything was basically falling apart on the plate. Generally gluten free bread crumbles if it's not toasted, and there was no effort to make an assembled sandwich on this day. Jason deli does a much better job actually. The gluten free cupcake selection was a delight, however. The German chocolate cupcake was awesome. I just don't think I'll make an extra effort out of my way to pursue the gluten free options in the future, based on the price and the lackluster sandwich.

Veronica Marshall

My allergies are wheat gluten dairy and soy I got the salmon wrap no dairy and a side of smash fingerlings my dad got the smash burger. Everything was delicious and well seasoned the waitress knew accommodating and how to substitute. You could see the kitchen from the table I sat at.

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.

Shawn Young

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

Tom Daly

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.

Edi E

We waited half an hour to find seating after ordering. Once we were seated, it took another 45 minutes to get our orders. When we received it finally, my husband’s chicken fried steak was cold, and my steak and eggs had a long hair in it. I ordered gluten free toast and never received it.

Nelia Bryant

O’Niell’s is one of my favorite spots in Albuquerque! Their burgers are outstanding and they offer a gluten free bun as well. Every dish I’ve tried here has been phenomenal and the service is always friendly. The patio is spacious and dog friendly. I love this place!

Yvette Montoya

Super delicious, excellent service, Gluten free hamburger buns!!!!

Holly Stafford

Sunday buffet was excellent! Service was excellent! I’m gluten free and everything was explained to me carefully and I didn’t have any problems. Can’t wait to come back.

Hayley H (Hayley H)

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.

Psychedelieh

Excellent restaurant, they have many gluten free options, we ate very well (the pitzookies were also excellent)!

Kristi Rhinehart

First time here. This was a wonderful meal. The service was fantastic. Shawnee was wonderful. She was very attentive and helpful. I was very happy to see so many gluten free options. The grilled artichoke appetizer was terrific. It was worth every penny. The lamb chops were wonderful and well seasoned. Perfectly cooked and flavorful. I even got a flourless chocolate torte to go! The strawberry lemonade was huge and very refreshing. If you read this please click "like"... it helps my feelings. Thanks 😊

Lindsey Parker

Absolutely LOVED our dinner at M'tucci's! My husband and I were on a trip that brought us through ABQ for our wedding anniversary. My husband is Celiac, and staff took it very seriously and communicated with us extensively about risks and steps they were taking to mitigate them. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were great. Would absolutely go back on our next visit!
