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.

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!

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!!

5 kinds of gluten free mole! I got tamarind w/ pork and my friend got vegan w/the house mole and both were awesome. Worth a visit!

This place is an absolute gem. We got the tamales and fish tacos + drinks from the tequila bar. Dog friendly and lots of gluten free options. Great staff.

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!

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!

Everything about La Plazuela exceeded our expectations and made our anniversary that much more special. (They even treated us to champagne before dinner and flan for dessert!) Our waiter, Armando, was exceptional. He was friendly and attentive, and he helped me find gluten-free options on the menu beyond what was marked. We had the artisanal bread board, tableside guacamole, and chicken enchiladas—all delicious. Armando recommended alternative sauce options for my enchiladas (the chile is thickened with flour), and the caramelized onion cream was fantastic. I especially enjoyed the blue corn muffins and watermelon margarita. My husband loved the green chile sauce on his enchiladas, as well as the sopaipilla. The next time we are in Santa Fe, we will certainly be back.

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!

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.

Amazing outdoor dining with an exquisite view of the Jemez mountains. The food was mouthwateringly (if not a word, it is now😄) mind blowing! Delicious ahi tuna lettuce wrap, truffle fries, hot, crispy sweet potato fries, an excellent margarita, finished off with a special, one of a kind gluten-free desert that was out-of-this-world delicious. What's better is locals get 15% off! Thanks Terra for the perfect dining experience!! My new favorite in town!!

Kevin English

One of those great finds. We were just passing through and wanted to find local Mexican. Could not imagine a better find. Waitresses knowledgeable about gluten free and knew all ingredients of each dish.

Yes, it's a gas station. YES! It's worth stopping! The food is very good! Locals kept coming in for takeout while we sat down to eat in one of the three tables available. Gluten-free angle: NOT a dedicated frier, so passed on the fries. Got the carne asada barrio bowl. Rice, beans, carne asada, lettuce and shredded cheese. Said yes to the salsa too which complemented the meal nicely. Agua de horchata was yummy too! Give them a try!

I have eaten all over the world. And the experience I had at Sazón with Alisha as our host, was one of the best! It was also an honour to meet Chef Fernando Olea, what a legend. Everything was perfection and you could tell by looking around the restaurant, how much everyone enjoyed the experience. Sopa de Amor was phenomenal, a medley of perfectly balanced flavors, and I don’t particularly even like soup, this blew my mind. I also had the Shrimp Enchiladas (Cayoacan) which, oh my goodness, was perfection. And while I rarely order steak when out to eat, the Popocatepetl was divine. The Smokey flavors of the beef cooked to perfection with the various mole sauces…. I was speechless. Also, margaritas? Just don’t miss out. Alisha recommended the perfect one! Lastly, it’s the chef’s dessert for a reason, Dulce Sinfonia was perfectly orchestrated by Alisha as she guided us through the tasting experience. Also if you have allergies, I found everyone very helpful in advising me on the right gluten free choices. The experience was one of my most memorable flavor adventures and I was extremely impressed with the staff and had to refrain from asking for a selfie with the Chef. I cannot wait to go back!
