An outrageously delicious & positive experience eating lunch here today. Mia took exceptionally good care of us – my mom is celiac, and was so thrilled with the level of attention and care she got. On top of that, the food was showstoppingly good! The chicken kebabs, falafel, hamachi and hummus were all 10/10.

Stopped by here for a late lunch after a quick search for gluten free options in the area. So glad I did! Service was prompt and the staff member working the counter was super nice and helpful. Lots of great options, clean dining area and restroom, I will be coming back.

Gluten free options are great. I've eaten here twice and haven't been sick. GF food comes out with marker. Symptomic Celiac

Great homemade gluten free pasta

Frank Weigel

Really loved that our server was very familiar with celiacs and could steer my wife.

Sunda Lunch Catering was great. Our group liked the Chicken, Tofu and LOVED the Pad Thai. Our Vegan/Gluten-Free guest appreciated all the options available including the individual salad. The delivery order drop off was smooth. Sam was super helpful and made sure to check in with me every step of the way ensuring our order was correct and set-up the way we wanted. Thank you again (Nicole) for all your help with coordinating! I will definitely keep Sunda in mind for future staff events.

Jessica Horn

Gluten sensitivity but server was VERY knowledgeable about ensuring food safety. Music was amazing. Outdoor dining clean and fun. Highly recommended.

Tzuco is an upbeat and elegant dining experience in the heart of River North, Chicago. However, there were only 2 gluten free items on the entire menu. I ordered the Mayan Ceviche (to make gluten free, ask for plaintain chips on the side) and my friend ordered the Albondigas en Calldillo (not gluten free). Both were extreme tasty with layers of flavor, but pretty spicy. Overall, if you’re gluten free, maybe look elsewhere. Tzuco is definitely going to be standout if you’re not gluten-free and willing to spend enough to order multiple dishes (to feel satisfied) and not hungry afterwords. The atmosphere itself was lively and exciting, and not too loud so I could still hear my friend. A good place for work dinners or celebrations!

Gluten free fried chicken!! Delicious GF menu including desserts! Came here for my birthday and left ordering another portion of the fried chicken to go, yes that's how good it was. It has been years since i had proper GF fried chicken. Service was a 10 and the atmosphere very cozy and elegant. Def recommend and will be back💜

Visting from out of town and we have Celiac. Stopped in to try the gluten-free deep dish pizza. Ordered that and the Malnati Salad. Pizza was actually delicious, crust held up well and salad was amazing.

Oysters, steak, they were very sensitive to my gluten allergy

Mary Wenthur

I got the tuscan scramble and it was DELICIOUS. I’m not a huge fan of breakfast foods sometimes but this was a fantastic mix of an Italian pasta and egg. With cheese, sun dried tomatoes, pesto, and chicken. No labels for gluten free items.
