We booked a meal at Studio 48 back in early November for my girlfriend's birthday in mid-December. She had been so excited to visit after seeing it on TikTok and learning that it was gluten-free. Unfortunately, the experience was nothing short of a disaster. Upon arrival, we informed the staff of our booking, only to be told there was no room for us in the restaurant. The lady we spoke to acknowledged that she could see our reservation in their system but claimed they were only accommodating major Christmas bookings that evening. Instead of honoring our reservation, she offered us a tiny space at the downstairs bar, which was completely unsuitable for having a proper meal. Naturally, we declined, as eating a birthday dinner in such a cramped and un-mfortable setting was out of the question. This left us stranded with nowhere to eat on a special evening. Given the time of year, everywhere else was fully booked, and finding a gluten-free option on short notice made things even more difficult. The night we had carefully planned for weeks was ruined entirely. After reading other reviews, it seems we're not the only ones who've experienced this kind of poor treatment at Studio 48. It's unacceptable to mishandle bookings so carelessly, especially when customers are relying on you for a special occasion. We won't be returning and certainly won't recommend this place to anyone else.

Great atmosphere on the roof terrace. Fantastic gluten free food.

GLUTEN FREE food, wonderful our waitress AIDA, who recommended us and everything was very delicious. We will return!

Lidia

Beautiful place with great food if you like mexican. There are options for gluten free too and great coctails. The air con was set too high but the staff were great and rectified it for us when we asked

Alena

The food was really lovely. Very nice atmosphere. They have a separate non-gluten menu which was great. Our server Denisse was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would come back

I visited Wahaca on a Tuesday around 3:30pm. I found Gabriela, who was my server for the day, and the lady at the front, whose name I unfortunately didn't ask, they were both very friendly and incredibly helpful. There is a separate menu for coeliacs with different levels of gluten inclusion and on top of that carbon emissions levels. I feel very impressed. The food was incredible, the hummus, the trio salsas, a side salad I got with beans and the pumpkin with rice I found them all absolutely incredible and the outmost delicious. Thank you for this fantastic experience, I would undeniably recommend and I would love to visit again.

It's a nice place to go in the middle of a shopping spree. The queso is wonderful and the agua fresca is refreshing. The staff is very kind. I also had a salad, this was however very heavily drenched in vinegar. I have also had their glutenfree tacos before, they were not very good. Easiest thing would be to use 100% corn tacos.

Kelly Izell

Came here for the celiac safe options. I thought the cauliflower tacos were awesome!

Iza Turska

Most delicious food, best I had in London, I think. Really nice attentive and fun staff. The atmosphere - really lively but not overwhelming - I really enjoyed. I'm getting a bit old and places in London are a bit too loud and hectic from me - BUT not this one, they got it right! Plus beautiful interior design, attention to details on every level. Between us we were veggie / gluten free / allergic to dairy - and we all were sooo satisfied. Really really lovely experience, I will be back, and back again.

Lovely helpful servers, great for gluten allergy

TL;DR: Great food! B i g portions. Tucked away eatery in covent garden with great mexican food, and great gluten free options. A good choice for a casual ambience (good music, nice decor). Food has great flavours - I've been many times and can recommend essentially everything on the menu. One note is that food portions are large compared to other restaurants in London at a similar price point. Order less, or be prepared to take some home!

Gabi Buchinger

We had good food and a highlight was that our waiter spoke German. The decor there was also very comfortable. Our waiter was Sahbi B and, as already mentioned, he spoke a little German so it was a little easier for us to order because he explained to us what it was. It was also great that there was a dedicated gluten-free menu and the food from this menu was also very good.

martin murray

Great food and great staff. I’m coeliac so served by a manager and by Carlos. Both were great.

Jon G

Great cocktails, attentive service and delicious tacos. Loads of gluten free options. Delighted we came across this lovely little restaurant.

Laura Gapper

Perfection. Came in alone without reservation was welcomed, had a fancy cantina vibe, appropriate for all, margaritas on point, gluten free menu, pork and beef tacos honestly mind blowing and I’m from southern California and a taco connoisseur!! Really exceeded all expectations. No notes, excellent experience

Carrie Hyett

Camacho C was a wonderful server, amazing energy and very helpful & reassuring about the gluten free options. Manager took my order and felt very safe as a coeliac. Food was incredible and reasonably priced

David Alonso

I want to highlight that I am celiac. The moment I reported it, the person in charge who was there at that time (June 24 around 1:00 p.m.) activated the protocol and made the staff wash their hands and change gloves to serve me. Even though this is the protocol, I appreciate the gesture since not all places treat you like this, so I want to thank the restaurant manager for the treatment at that time. Spectacular food as always

Poppy J

Tasty food although no veggie- or vegan-gluten free main course options. Friendly service. Didn’t have to wait too long for food to arrive (on a quiet Monday).

Georgina Mackenzie

Absolutely love eating here as the service is fantastic - thank you Alena. I also feel safe in the knowledge they are fully aware of the needs of someone with coeliac disease and safety with cross contamination.

Molly Thornton

Completely satisfying. Comprehensive vegetarian menu and friendly for gluten free. Fast and friendly service, would happily return

Debra Kessab

Fabulous restaurant the food was tasty and plentiful. Lot's of choice and catered really well to one of our party who is gluten free . Service was friendly and relaxed. The cocktails were great to. A wonderful ,cosy atmosphere inside . Will definitely return.

Megan Attridge

Food was incredible, some sauces/flavours reminiscent of a previous trip to Mexico. Great varied menu. My gluten intolerant partner had plenty of choice. Be warned that corn wraps and wheat wraps aren’t separated when kept with their thermal sleeve. Was given a shot of a frozen cocktail to try at the end, it was sensational so would love to return to have it! Staff were nice (bit eccentric)

GF Foodie

I hate to have such a distaste for this place but the food was subpar and the decorations were horribly racist. I am going to assume the owner is white because none of the food or decorations were authentic. The whole thing was upsetting. What’s worse is I have a gluten allergy and was assured the gf food would be okay, but it made me sick and when I informed the staff they tried to disagree and say maybe I was just full instead of apologising and checking if I was okay. Overall a really disappointing experience and I will be strictly avoiding this place and sticking to the Mexican owned restaurants.

Booked online for weekday lunch. Nice restaurant decor and view of the city, good for dates and group gatherings and photo opportunities. A lot of gluten free option. Not much non alcoholic drinks. Food came in 25mins. Had the steak on stone for medium rare but already over cooked when arrived. Napkin has weird marks and fluff on it so asked for a new one and same situation again.

Michael Mcloughlin

Very tasty food, great cocktails and very coeliac accommodating. Battered Cod taco was the standout for us. Nearly the entire menu was GF!

Lior Seidel

Great GF tacos! Almost everything on the menu is GF

Mar. Ko

You have to try these gluten-free delicious tacos. Thank you so much to the Proper Tacos team for such a delicious experience. I happened to fall upon this small gem in Nag's Head Market and I would love to come again. I would undeniably recommend.

Christopher Thomas

Good, friendly always, usually very efficient, great gluten free options, not bad for coeliacs.

Gözde İbili

Great GF tacos! Delicious and safe for celiacs.

cristina O

Restaurant with a very pleasant, spacious atmosphere, attentive and friendly workers. As for the menu, it is very extensive which makes it easy to find an optimal option. As for gluten, the menu was reduced, but I was still able to choose from several dishes. Of course, if you are sensitive to spiciness, like in my case, you should ask for extra rice to neutralize it haha.

Teresa

Terrible Experience – Rude, Unprofessional, and Unsafe for Celiacs. Just awful. I had made a booking in advance, and even called in the afternoon to confirm it, yet when I arrived, they had no record of my reservation. Instead of apologizing or trying to accommodate me, the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive. On top of that, I had specifically confirmed over the phone that I have celiac disease and was assured they had safe gluten-free options. However, when I arrived, they completely contradicted themselves. Not only did they not take my dietary needs seriously, but they were shockingly unprofessional—arguing with me and claiming that celiacs can eat contaminated food and be fine. When I tried to explain that cross-contamination is extremely dangerous for people with celiac disease, they continued to challenge me rather than listening or offering a solution. The staff stood over me in an aggressive manner until I felt so uncomfortable that I had no choice but to leave. It was one of the most unprofessional and frustrating experiences I’ve ever had. If you have celiac disease or any dietary restrictions, I strongly urge you to avoid this place at all costs. The lack of knowledge, disregard for food safety, and sheer rudeness of the staff make this an establishment I would never recommend.

Bridget Groves

Great gluten free

Andrew Brown

Had dinner with a friend on a Thursday night at El Pastor. We sat in the outside area which was well heated despite it being cold outside. The food was fantastic and the waiting staff were great, especially Alice who gave us plenty of advice with the menu, particularly for my friend who had a gluten allergy. Would highly recommended, a really nice spot to eat in Kings Cross.

Suzana Bertotti

Had an amazing night at Cavita with my husband—it felt like a trip to Mexico! The Grilled Caesar Salad had the perfect smoky char, the Mooli Ceviche was fresh and spicy with guacasalsa, and the Fish Tacos were unreal—crispy fish, tangy cabbage, and black garlic mayo on in-house nixtamalized blue corn tortillas. Love that the menu is 90% gluten-free without compromising on flavour. The open kitchen and grill add to the experience—already planning our next visit!

Matthew Stayt

Absolutely awesome tacos and great customer service from Gerson! My wife is coeliac and the gluten free options were great! Strongly recommend for those looking for a wide range of gluten free options

EVIEC100

I love the food here and the margaritas! Also used Jalisco to cater a private party. They have many catering options to suit taco trays with nachos or can even arrange for their own taco man! and they were able to cater for all dietary requirements (veggie/vegan and gluten free). They delivered the taco trays perfectly on time. Such an easy and hassle free way to order food!! Really can’t recommend enough

Giulia Carboni

We had a lovely dinner at Las Iguanas at Stratford, the best part was our waitress Ruby, she was nice and she took a really good care of us. A lot of gluten free options too!

Axel kenneth bertani

Amazing service from the workforce, specially Fabio who took care of my gluten-free conditions. Thank you.

Jessica Leslie

Don't go if you have an allergy as menu is incorrectly labelled. Told them I had an allergy, ordered a desert that was labelled as not containing gluten, but later found out it did contain gluten.

Rebecca S

Fantastic Mexican food with great service. My husband is coeliac and the menu had so much choice for him. Highly recommend!

Heidi Hurst

The best margaritas in London! I appreciated the staffs consideration of food allergies - they went out of their way to help me understand what was gluten free and coeliac safe. Unfortunately they don’t have gluten free bbq sauce, which was a bummer, and gf side options were pretty limited. However I didn’t get sick from contamination, so overall a success!

Rina Miranda

So really good food!! A lot of things GLUTENFREE !! 🔝🔝🔝🔝 not expensive

Heidi Hurst

Incredible. Best tacos I’ve had in London, and everything was gluten free as well (!!!!!!). Great option for celiacs / coeliacs. Frozen margarita was also a delight.

Pete T

Gluten Free option (nice to keep my missus happy) good portion, friendly too.

Holly Falzon

Beautiful restaurant and amazing, authentic food. We had a great night and will definitely be returning. I am also gluten free which was catered for amazingly and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable

Leanne Barrett

Lovely steak and food! Definitely recommend also very accommodating for gluten free guests

Elipao Barrera

Everything is delicious and gluten free

JL

I had the naked burrito as I am allergic to gluten. The food was nice but as a coeliac I think it’s probably not the safest option as I felt unwell afterwards. So I’d give it 5* if I wasn’t allergic to gluten.
