The best place to eat in Santa fe. Make sure you get in line by 4pm for an in person reservation. Many gluten-free options. Almost all the deserts are gluten-free.

Now that I’ve traveled around New Mexico, I realize just how good La Cueva is. Well versed in Gluten-free and helpful ad our daughter had celiac. No nonsense service. They know what they are doing and happy answer questions. I have not had chile relleno in years and this did not disappoint. My 15 year old did not believe me that it is good, but loved the chile relleno here. Very flavorful. My son loved his chimichanga and our 22 year old had the huitlacoche (corn fungus) enchiladas. Great flavor. We had huitlacoche while living in Mexico and were converted. Lots of cheese! Good but heavy. There is a lot of cheese on the food in NM. I love it but can’t eat this way everyday. 😂 Indoor and outdoor seating.

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

Dedicated fryer, and the owners have family members with Celiac. The Chile Rellenos are wonderful.

Lisa Silva

The food was delicious and the staff was great. Most dishes can be made vegetarian, vegan or gluten free.

Rolf Asphaug

We loved that the restaurant had so many gluten-free options, and that the staff took such care in cooking and presenting gluten-free foods. We loved the shrimp enchiladas and the tacos.

Sam Fletcher

Awesome place. They have gluten-free and vegan/vegetarian options for my wife and normal food for us regular folks 😁. Will definitely be going back for another date night. The staff was awesome and took time to answer all my wife's questions. Super awesome place.

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.

Ariana Solaequi

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant. It’s my favorite place to eat. I also have celiacs disease and almost everything is gluten free! 10/5 stars! Please come to the west side!!

Gary Standke

Very helpful staff to explain what food is gluten free. Great descriptions of everything is prepared. Gluten free menu. Gluten free bread, but it cannot be grilled or toasted due to cross contamination. Fries are also cross contaminated. Cheese burger on gluten free bread with a salad is safe and I had this without problems.

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

Tim Simoneaux

Great place! Food was delicious and came out promptly. The staff was polite and the atmosphere was great. It's a dog friendly establishment, and they were kind enough to give our dog a bowl of water. They have allergy oriented food and even celiac safe beer, which is pretty cool.

Siobhán Archibald

I come here every time I have a conference in Santa Fe and it never disappoints! Even the kids love the food and the options, and the service is always exemplary. They even had gluten free toast!

Fyre Rain

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

Too Loud Bear The 2nd

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.

Dan and Debbie Y

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

Jeanette Maxey

I am allergic to gluten and eggs so I had the açaí bowl. It was THE BEST açaí bowl I have ever had and was a huge portion. I can’t wait to go back!!

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.

Alice Langford

Good food pleasant atmosphere and they have a gluten free menu.

Bill Adkison

A very nice place for dinner, and they cater to gluten-free and dairy-free requirements, along with serving really good food. The service is great, too.

Joyce Weiss

Antonio takes his clients very seriously when they have food allergies. I called before we arrived to make sure he could accomodate my gluten and soybean allergies. I relaxed the moment he described which delicious dishes he and his wife could prepare for me. Plus they are charming and made the lunch experience one of the best on our travels to Santa Fe.

Kathryn Minnaar

Great New Mexico food! The green & red chile was delicious! Love that it is Gluten free💕

Gary Standke

Great selection of gluten free dining options with a separate gluten free menu as well as vegan and vegetarian. I had the pear salad and nachos. All gluten free and tasted great.

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!

Catherine DeLoach

The food, ambience, and service here is incredible. I have Celiac and they were extremely helpful and kind to help with options.

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.

Chloe Colette

The owner of Magpie up in Taos recommended this place to me. Delicious fish tacos. Love that there were many gluten-free options. The pork tamales 🫔were sooo good!

Cassidy Harvey

My fiancé and I stopped here on a road-trip, she is a celiac so it was a pleasant surprise that they had a separate gluten free/celiac friendly menu. We both had the Steak Guadalajara with the ribeye instead of the sirloin and it was worth every penny. It was the best meal we’ve had in a restaurant in years and we were talking about how fantastic it was for days afterwards. The service was also very attentive and friendly, even though our server was still training he was an absolute gem and made a great experience even better. So if you ever stop in Tucumcari, try Del’s it was more than worth it for us!

Ross Walker

Really appreciate that they have gluten free buns!

Jen I

Beautiful building, incredible service, delicious food. Gluten free and vegan options, too. Patricia was our server. Superb!

John Langford

Had the spicy shrimp diabla. Not for the heat sensitive folks. My daughter was able to have a gluten free meal.

Sarah Grewe

Loved finding this place. Lots of gluten free options and the best waitstaff! The margaritas and nachos were amazing!

Monica Kroier

Friendly, knowledgeable staff, and a great atmosphere. They offer gluten free options.

Kay Colbert

Delicious fresh food, creative use of spices and sauces. Not your run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant. Several of the dishes happen to be vegan or gluten-free, and it was so wonderful to be offered something more upscale. We tried the mushroom sopecitos and the ceviche - both really tasty. For mains, we had the cauliflower rostizado which came with a yummy spicy sauce and the chicken mole which is served with blue corn tortillas. For dessert, a homemade nectarine and pink pepper sorbet was perfect. There are lots of tequila and mezcal cocktail choices, beers on tap, and a small but decent selection of wines. Place has a funky vibe, too!

Dan Gates

We had a family Easter lunch here. It was very good, varied menu with options. Was able to accommodate a vegan and gluten sensitivity

Kathryn Baker

Professional staff, darn good food. I am celiac, which means both that I experience a serious autoimmune reaction when exposed to even a tiny amount of gluten and also that eating at new (to me) restaurants can be a stressful ordeal. Carissa was incredibly gracious and efficient in identifying where cross contamination would be, and my meal was absolutely delicious. I experienced no adverse reaction, which speaks well of the organization and cleanliness of the kitchen as well.

Michele Mason

We went to the Dragon Room for happy hour -very attentive waiter who answered all our questions concerning food preparation & ingredients for the dairy & gluten free people in our party. The happy hour food menu has many options including salads, burgers, sandwiches, plus the special which was beef short ribs. All our food was delicious. The apple pie dessert was huge!

Kristen Griego

Comfortable and relaxing place to eat. Food and service were great. Had gluten free bread and buns. It’s hard to find restaurants that fit strollers near the plaza, but we had no problem finding a place for the stroller here, and they had high chairs.

Tracy Viviano

The food is good. The prices are good however, I'm not sure the staff there knows what gluten even is.

Joe Chacon

Celiac / Gluten approved I always feel bad going into a Chipotle and mentioning that I need a gluten free bowl, because I always feel like a nuisance. However, today's experience was nice. The gentleman tool all the precautions to make sure there wasn't any cross contamination, I was surprised at the fact that he constantly washed his hands and continued to sanitize the area. I'm definitely going back to the Coors and St Joseph's Chipotle.

Hannah Moomey-Sowers

This place is an absolute gem! Hubby has severe gluten allergy and the staff made sure nothing cross contaminated. He had the burger tacos and I had the green enchilada plate. Everything was delicious and the staff were soooo friendly. Definitely felt like we were home at momma’s table. We would eat here weekly if we could!

Carissa Stinson

We had a party of 10 on a Monday. They were accommodating to our party as we had a wheelchair need to be able to access. We parked in the top parking lot and they were able to access our table very well. Our servers name was Jay, he was truly a great server! He remembered all the things! I spoke to the kitchen manager about good options for gluten free. Decided on the chargrilled chicken with rice. Everyone enjoyed their food and dessert. The deer came really close to the outdoor waiting area and that was neat to see

Mary Grace

We came to El Charro while staying the night in Carlsbad and it was amazing! The quesabirra tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had. The consommé was super flavorful as well. We will definitely come back here when we stop in Carlsbad again. I’ll make sure to take pictures next time, it looked so good that I ate it all before I could remember to take pictures. My boyfriend got the chile relleno plate and he also really liked it! The staff were super sweet and we liked the self serve sauce bar. Most items on the menu are naturally gluten free because of the ingredients and the use of corn tortillas. I don’t know about cross contamination though because they do use flour tortillas for some dishes. I didn’t get sick though!

Kris Palmer

Pretty good food. We left satisfied. The salsa seems to be made fresh in-house. The bathroom sink needs to be scrubbed with a pumice stone and overall looked neglected. I wish the menu had gluten-friendly options marked.

Michael Chavez

Food was delicious and gluten free/celiac friendly with dedicated fryers. Servers and bartender were super nice and extremely accommodating. The relleno was great and the flauta salsas were really spicy and very, very flavorful. Loved it!

Lawrence Talahongva

A quaint little restaurant in the plaza area of Santa Fe. Compact seating with hard bench like booths. Small tables with chairs to make more room. Walls are beautifully decorated. Unisex bathroom, usually a line forms so be prepared. The food is decently good, our party of three ordered a variety of dishes. So, the food portions varied, such as the order of nachos which was just a handful of chips on a little plate, very small portion for a lunch dish. Now the blue corn tortilla enchiladas (3) plate was evenly portioned and not overly crowded, looked very appetizing. I ordered the Santa Fe plate with x-mas style chile (red and green). The plate came with a tamale, enchilada, taco, beans, Spanish rice and posole. All squished on to a similar sized plate as the nachos were served on. The posole, instead should have been put into a separate bowl so the food wouldn't get all saturated with juice and become soggy. The taco was left off because one, no room and secondly, it was forgotten all together. Each plate comes with a sopapilla except for the nachos. Gluten free options are available but with the possibilities of obvious cross contamination should be expected but they will try and prepare it safely. I will return to try another dish.

Heather Turner

Great selection of food and drinks with a pleasant atmosphere! Minus the tortillas, selections are gluten free!
