Amazing mexi food! The tacos were awesome and basically everything on the menu (besides dessert) is gluten free. We got a bunch of tacos to try and the guac, which was so flavorful and a decent portion size. Pork belly taco was the best imo, also so fun to try the fried fish (I was told it’s fried in rice flour/batter). Watermelon marg was delicious. They have outdoor seating, but it’s not the nicest views (street/parking lot) and indoors is a nice atmosphere, so I’d recommend going inside

We had dinner here with my young son, who has celiac. As soon as I mentioned gluten-free/celiac, the waitress immediately listed all the options available, explained that they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and described the procedures they follow. Most dishes could be made gluten-free, and my son chose the nachos. The service and knowledge were excellent!

Really nice atmosphere, parking was scarce but got lucky with a side street. The waitress we got was outstanding, making sure to keep my order gluten free (celiac), and the food was outstanding!! Got the short rib and Mac and cheese app for dinner, was great as a smaller portion for dinner for me but would likely be perfect size for most people.

If you're looking for flavorful food and healthy options, give this place a try! Delicious! Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available too. You'll need more than one taco to fill you up. Yummy food so worth it!

This place is so cool! Great vibes, friendly and quick servers plus the food is fantastic. All of the gluten free options are delicious, especially the churros. It was really fun to be able to eat tacos and oysters at the same time.

As a Celiac, I came for the gluten free churros but didn’t expect much in the way of food quality based on the reviews. I was quite pleasantly surprised. I found the food fresh, delicious, and well-presented. Everything was cooked perfectly — the churros crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and served warm. The taco slaw was fresh and crunchy, definitely made day-of. Our server was super kind, reassuring me that there was no issue with the fried items with regard to cross contamination. The empanadas were well-filled and delicious! We enjoyed the roof deck atmosphere and really had a nice evening. Very relaxed, cool vibe with great staff. Drinks also delicious and heavy handed! If I were to make one criticism, I did see multiple staff snacking on chips and guac periodically from the bin and container where it was served for guests next to the bar, reaching in with their hands. Maybe don’t do that? Lol. Otherwise we would so come back here! Great place.

If your gluten free this place is it!! I’m talking best food I’ve had in a long time! The staff was amazing and super personable. The atmosphere was great not too loud but definitely busy. Even so we got our food within a decent time and everything was fresh and hot. Did I mention there were so many gluten free options!! Ive been here before and will definitely keep returning!

Some of the food is excellent. Since everything is gluten-free, the flour tortillas are just okay. The corn tortillas are sub-par

This is really well done local Mexican food. They are also almost entirely gluten-free, which is a bonus for my wife. Owners are very friendly, and they have tasty margaritas

My partner has celiac and a dairy intolerance so we rarely go out to eat. We found this while on an overnight trip and were absolutely blown away by their care and attention to cross contamination. Separate fryers, markers for allergy items on the plates, the managers even came out each time (we ate in and ordered food the next day on our way home it was so good!) Thank you so much for this experience, 11/10. Absolutely made my partners night and birthday.

We had such an amazing experience here during our visit to Boston! My son is a celiac and Jamie, the manager was just so amazing and understanding. The whole staff was so careful, took such good care of us and made sure all the food was gluten free. The food was absolutely delicious and so flavorful. We loved the place so much, we came back again! Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere, gluten free options available, staff knowledgeable, birthday dessert if you're willing to wear a huge pink sombrero

Gluten-free Churros- I rated this place 2 stars for the fact that they actually sell Gluten-free churros (thankful) but as far as the quality of it I rate it a 1. The churros were super dense. Almost like biting into a piece of bread with no salt or moisture with a tiny dusting of sugar and cinnamon. The churros with the sauce didn't help much. Chocolate too over powering and the other tasted more like a peanut butter sauce that tried to imitate its actual flavor. Again I'm thankful for the fact that they even sell these however I will not be back to purchase as it was not worth it. Side note they do sell a small and large. This was a small for about 8 dollars and the large is 14.

GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS NOT GLUTEN-FREE I came to this location on 6/5/24. I was very excited to be visiting this restaurant in Cambridge. I am vegan and have a gluten allergy and saw on the menu that many items were denoted gluten-free so I was very happy that there would be food for me to eat. (I had also not eaten all day so I was extra excited.) I went up to the counter to order and while ordering was told (in a very rude/smug way) by the people working the register that everything that is noted as gluten free is not actually gluten free but “gluten friendly” and not safe for an allergy and they would not recommend for anyone who actually eats gluten free to eat at their restaurant. Either the menu needs to be changed to say “gluten friendly” or a kitchen process needs to be changed so the gluten free options are actually gluten free and there is no cross contamination. I do appreciate that they let me know so I didn’t get glutened but I shouldn’t have found out while ordering - it should have been clearer (and that’s on Veggie Grill). The staff at this location were also rude, unhelpful, and didn’t offer any suggestions. They honestly didn’t care and were not kind at all. I hope management changes the menu to be clearer so people that do have a gluten allergy are able to either eat safety or don’t come with their hopes up only to not be able to eat not anything. They should also train their staff on some basic customer service/kindness. (They didn’t even apologize - which I feel like is just like basic customer service.) Maybe other staff members are great and the ones that were working the register were just the bottom of the barrel but I am honestly shocked with how I was treated. Luckily, I don’t live in Cambridge so I won’t run into this issue again but I want to flag this for future gluten-free travelers (and honestly anyone who may come into this seemingly wonderful place…).

I live in Atlanta and unfortunately my go to location has closed so I thought I'd try something familiar in Boston. Off rip I noticed the food seemed fresher than Atl locations... don't tell. I ordered: guac & chips, Duck tacos (they could of held the load of onions) Baja fish tacos that I LOVE because they're GLUTEN FREE & FRIED

Chris Casavant

I love this place. Best guacamole I’ve ever had. All freshly made food. Gluten friendly with corn taco shells. The lime pepper chicken taco is my favorite taco, but I’ve liked all the ones I’ve tried. One of my favorite places in town.

I’m a financial planner - CFP®️practitioner - with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals. #VirtualPlanningCraftedWithCare®️) If you’re in the area and looking for a causal place for some hearty food, stop in here. My rating is based on my expectations of a casual hangout establishment. And it met this expectation with no problems. First, they have a big parking area with an equally large dining area. Then, our server Melissa was just great. Friendly, attentive, and helpful in terms of helping me navigate a gluten allergy. They even have a gluten free menu which is very convenient. The food overall was good. Large portions and served piping hot which is what I like. We weren’t looking for anything gourmet but rather just a hearty meal after spending a while driving into the area. I had a fruit flavored skinny margarita which is hard to find. The prices were in line with similar places. The establishment is suitable for all ages, families, singles, couples and retirees. I imagine it’s LGBTQ friendly given that it’s in the Cape. We liked it and we would return the next time we’re visiting.

Summer was amazing! She helped me with my food choices and reassured that I could eat safely since I am celiac. Summer is giving a great attitude and great positive vibe!!

Mexican food place that’s friendly with a good set of menu items. Fajitas were very good. Veggie bowl was tasty. My tacos really didn’t have much taste but were fine. Limeade was ordered by many and was too sweet and lacking lime flavor. Lime wedges appeared quickly on request. Margaritas were tasty. Allergens are an issue here with much cross-contamination. BUT, they know about it. Expect limited choices if this applies to you. I did have to ask about each item regarding gluten, and they did not volunteer glutenfree options. This was likely because they were busy and not used to or trained on working with diners with restrictions. I would go back but only at a time that wasn’t too busy so I could ask about items. They have salsas that look interesting, too. A gluten-free fryer for chips and marking menu items as GF would go a long way here. I’m sure those with dairy, egg, and other allergies would feel similarly.

Condesa served us a delicious meal that delighted all 6 members of my family. The salsa and chips were very tasty. The chips were not too salty, which I appreciated, and the salsa was so fresh and had just a bit of spice. I am gluten and dairy free and didn't feel restricted at all. My sister and I split several things. We tried the vegetarian cornmeal sopes which had the best taste and texture, and split an order of tamales , which I found exceptional. We also tried the guacamole, which was so creamy and fresh. Finally we decided to order a salad, made with cucumber, jicama, and some delicious spices. The sauce/dressing was a bit spicy but addictive. I've never had anything like it, and I loved it! The atmosphere is open, and not too loud. The waitstaff were friendly and welcoming! We live in CT, but I would travel to eat this wonderful food again.

Always a great experience every time I go, whether inside the restaurant for an elevated dining experience, or out at the beach bar with it's chill vibe. Bonus points for the allergy awareness, as 3 of our family are gluten free, and the chef is always accommodating. 😋

Yellow door south end has some of the best service I’ve ever had in Boston. As someone with gluten allergy the staff was well informed and offered me many modifications to food that did have gluten. Additionally they ensured the kitchen staff was aware and they informed me that they have a dedicated fryer for allergies. Our servers were so kind and accommodating. We sat outside and it got a little chilly and they kindly offered several times to move us to the side patio where there are heaters. The food is also great we went for apps and drinks. The margs are in my opinion one of the best in Boston. I will definitely be back

This place has been saving me from hunger since its food truck days. I’m gluten free so I make sure to mention it - and sometimes they will ask unprompted if I have a food allergy. My favorite item to get is the nachos without jalapeño peppers. It’s still got a nice spice to it and it is filling. They’ve also recently started offering a chocolate horchata and buzzy (aka with coffee) horchata drink that just hits the spot on a hot day. The atmosphere is chill, lots of cool stuff on the walls and always great music playing. Bathrooms available as well.

This is a lovely hidden gem next to the Revolution Hotel. The food was quite good. I recommend the cauliflower with the pineapple and the sotol ranch water. Alan was our waiter and he was very informative and kind. I also appreciated that the menu was very clear about the gluten free options.
