Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Ciudad de México City

Izzie Di Castro

La Otilia is the perfect place to eat if you have dietary restrictions or a specific diet. They have gluten-free, keto, vegan, paleo, and other options. This time, we ordered a Hawaiian pizza. Although they recommend sharing it, I feel like the portion is personal. For dessert, we ordered a lemon pie and a gansito (my favorite!), along with smoothies (red berries, coconut yogurt, and ginger). The place is pet-friendly 🐶💙 and they have dog treats. The staff is very friendly 🙌🏼

Divine food with many gluten-free options!

Luceli Puerto

Good option for eating gluten-free pizza and pasta.

I ordered the passion fruit and pear cake, and what a disappointment! First of all, it's not cheap. I ordered it for my mom's birthday. She has celiac disease. It's sad to see that I wasted my money, my time, and the opportunity for my mom to celebrate her birthday with something delicious. The filling is extremely sour and chewy, and the crust is more like cardboard than cake! Terrible!

Orly Margulis

Delicious and all gluten-free! Very gluten-friendly, highly recommended!

Jesse Smith

Good coffee and food with gluten-free and sugar-free options. Order a Serrano ham and cheese sandwich (gluten-free) ;)

Shosh Rose

Lovely cafe with gluten free, dairy free, sugar free treats, so grateful for spots like this in the city

We came around 1pm and the place was almost empty. They accommodate glutenfree (Pasta Option and a couple of meats). Service was okay but the food took forever and was mediocre. Wouldn’t come back.

Shosh Rose

A lovely spot with delicious food & fantastic service. Accommodated gluten free diet without any issues, would definitely return for the tacos & soup

Daniel Diaz Vargas

The best plant-based burgers and shakes, with gluten-free options too 😋

I canceled a reservation then made another I was so undecided. So glad we came here for lunch. The brunch line on the weekend was around the corner. On a Monday it was easier to get a reservation same day and we were seated immediately. We had the Burrata with olives. Yum! They brought bread that was so good and gluten free crackers for my daughter. We had the arugula and Parmesan salad followed by watermelon fish ceviche. We loved every dish. Before we left I ordered a fig and guava croissant for the next mornings breakfast and it did not disappoint even day old! Hope that helps make your decision.

Melissa Escalante

Everything was very delicious! Very good option for vegans and non-vegans. I came with a non-vegan person and he didn't notice the difference! You can also choose gluten free bread, and my sister can't eat gluten so it was perfect. My favorites were the Poyo bites and the milkshake :)) Excellent Sunday plan!

Adam Van Dyke

Awesome atmosphere and very good food. I have celiac disease and heard this was a good option for gluten free—our waiter kind of seemed to get it but then brought out my dessert (mango sorbet) on a bed of cookie crumbles, after confirming with me that this would be the one safe dessert option…so can’t say that they really get it as well as other restaurants in the area. Try at your own risk.

Michelle Corona

I expected more from the gluten-free crepes and they bring the drinks that should be hot, lukewarm. The attention is good. I recommend the chilaquiles

Charlotte Bae

The cactus tartar was really interesting. Kind of on the sour side but refreshing. I think Antolina offers good dishes, drinks, service, and cozy atmosphere. Also, they do take note of people who need gluten free options.

I visited yesterday, Sunday, June 22nd, I was only going for cake because of the Bad experience I had at The Buttery, but we ended up ordering 4 tuna tostadas, which are delicious. I mean, they're a staple, but the chipotle sauce with the tuna and the good consistency of the tostadas. And when you add the habanero onions, the cake is delicious. Needless to say, for me, who can't eat gluten, it's delicious. I ordered an Americano coffee, I didn't like it at all. It was too strong, so I left it. The cayo hacha tostadas were delicious. I recommend them, but if you can, skip them. Or if you want to try the cayo hacha prepared this way, it's not bad, but for $239 pesos for 1 piece, it's better to have another tuna tostadas and some lemon water with chia seeds. Delicious, that's all I tried. This time I'll go back for the red snapper.

Gluten-free guava cake is a delight

Forgot to post this review... Dined on Oct 14, 2024 based on strong reviews about their ability to accommodate allergies, but unfortunately left feeling that my dietary restrictions were not taken seriously. Upon arrival, the hostess asked if anyone in our party had allergies. I informed her that I have Celiac disease and a tree nut/peanut allergy. She relayed this to our server upon seating us. I also provided the server with printed allergy cards (in both English and Spanish), which he took a photo of for future reference. However, he did not read them at that time. As we began ordering, I found myself needing to ask detailed questions about each dish to determine whether it was safe, as I wasn’t confident the server fully understood the severity or specifics of my allergies. For instance, I asked about the blackened octopus dish, which included tempura. I inquired if it was made with rice or wheat flour—he confirmed it was wheat, and simply told me to order something else. I would have appreciated more proactive guidance through the menu to identify safe options rather than needing to question each item myself. I also specifically asked him to review the Spanish side of my allergy cards, as I suspected some of the details were being lost in translation. However, he appeared to skim only the beginning before returning the cards. We ordered: pulled duck tostadas, molcajeteada with fresh (non-fried) corn tortillas, the seasonal chef’s tamal, pork ribs, al pastor tacos, and wagyu skirt tacos. At one point, another server brought a complimentary sope with beans, avocado sauce, and chilies. I had to ask whether it was safe for me to eat (it was). Later, during the tableside preparation of molcajeteada salsa, our server asked if the “deep-fried” peppers used were safe for me. I once again raised concerns about the fryer and potential cross-contact. He confirmed it was not safe and quickly stopped the other server from proceeding. After the molcajeteada, there was a noticeable lull in service. Eventually, our server returned with a dessert menu, despite us still waiting on several dishes we had ordered. When we inquired, he checked the system and said, “No, it’s not working,” without further explanation. At that point, we requested the bill and left. Unfortunately, I did not feel safe dining here. While there was some initial acknowledgment of my allergies, the follow-through and attentiveness throughout the meal were lacking, leaving me uneasy and disappointed.

What a gem! Such nice ambience with fantastic and outstanding service. Our food came fast and was delicious. Glutenfree and dairyfree was easy to accommodate and the waitress was knowledgeable. We would come back any time.

Pujol, honestly, fantastic experience, but I'm retracting 1 star for a total of 4 because of 2 reasons. 1. The famous mole which is older than most children I know was not all that great. The newer fresh mole was better but still not the best mole I've had. 2. The cost. For the alcohol pairing with the multiple course menu for two, we paid a hefty note of $600 USD, including tip. For similar experiences and charges at high-end restaurants, I've paid a little more than half that, which baffled me because eating in Mexico is fairly inexpensive. That being said, excellent staff, mostly delicious food, and the gluten-free experience was as easy as it gets.

We had reservations and seated immediately. The restaurant was full on a Saturday. Fabian was our waiter and he was wonderful. We were seated at the balcony edge. It is a bit chilly and people take photos there to look over the plaza but we did not care The food here was the best we have had and great value. We started with wine all from Mexico. Choices limited however we were happy with our choices. Next we had the salad with bacon and spiced nuts. Tacos we had the fish and octopus. Fish was better. Next steak and fish. The steak was perfectly cooked and the mustard sauce was a perfect compliment. The fish was very good but the steak was better. Lastly we had a slight communication lapse where I got the almond ice cream and cream cone and my daughter got the sorbet. She is gluten free and we thought we ordered two sorbets but it was fine We just did nit share that item. They also brought gluten free crackers instead of bread. Very accommodating. The views were beautiful at sunset the food was delicious the service great. I would definitely recommend

Rich flavor, very good quality and excellent service!!! They have gluten free options :)

Shosh Rose

Best vegan tacos of my life- they were able to adapt them to make them gluten free. Their homemade vegan cheese was unbelievably yummy & their sugar free all natural sodas left me wanting more

Aubrey Delaney

We loved our meal here! Very tasty and great service. We were able to eat safely gluten-free here and we’ll definitely come back before we go home!

Tracy C

Beautiful space, delicious food and cocktails. Limited menu items (digital menu is a lot smaller than the old, paper menu) and gluten-free options. Dishes we liked include tom yum goong, nuea yang namtok, and yum ped lichis. Overall the flavors are great, but a tad too salty.

PF Chang's is one of my favourite westernised Chinese restaurants, but not this branch after tonight's meal. My partner is a coeliac and has to eat gluten-free, which they advertise that they can cater to. Unfortunately they offer is extremely limited, which wouldn't be a problem if they could focus on making a quality meal that it's edible. The lettuce wrap is the only starter that is gluten-free, and that's fine as it's a tasty dish and easy to share. The starter came before our drinks arrived. My partner fried chicken was so dry that you just couldn't eat ot and didn't have any of the vegetables that it was advertised on the menu. My sesame Chicken was drowned in so much sauce that it wasn't enjoyable, and I couldn't eat much of it. So when the bill came and our waiter saw that most of the food was left on the plate. We tried to explain to him why, but he smiled and said I don't understand English. So save yourself some money and disappointment to ignore this particular branch.

Aleli is remarkable. I have been here twice and will go again. My wife and I took my mother, who has celiacs, here for her birthday. Not only was the food fantastic, the service and attention to gluten-free preparation was incredible. The drinks and draft beer were also wonderful. The food is so tasty and beautiful that we forgot to take pictures of some dishes, immediately jumping into the deliciousness before us. They even brought out seeded (gluten-free) tostadas for my mother. I can't think of a better experience anywhere in the world. When you're in CDMX, make a reservation here or you're leaving the best on the table.

Luis Gerardo Balcázar Ochoa

It is a nice and quiet place. They brought us a very delicious pumpkin carpaccio. We then ordered a Heriloom Tomato Salad which was delicious, very fresh. We also ordered a gluten-free pizza, 1/2 roasted mushrooms and 1/2 diavola, both very delicious, I liked the mushroom one better. The truffle macaroni was good. And the drinks, grapefruit with lychee, and raspberry with blueberry, very well done.

Judith Bragar

The first time we ate at Rosetta last week the food was delicious and the service wonderful with our waiter Ivan. On Wednesday we went again and I ordered what an inattentive waiter said was gluten free gnocchi. The waiter neglected to tell me that if you want it gluten free what you get is a tiny portion of gluey gnocchi with no flavor and no anchovies because they fry the anchovies with flour. I would not have ordered this insipid dish if I had known. The waiter never returned to our table and when I said something to the woman who came to collect the credit card she said, next time tell us. Who would I have told? Our waiter was busy giving other diners long and informative explanations of the food and pouring them tastes of 5 wines for them to choose which to buy. The woman who took the card didn't offer to comp my meal or even the dessert, which was the only thing that saved this experience. The dish that I received shouldn't come out of any restaurant kitchen much less that of what is considered to be one of the best restaurants in the world.

Viviana Sandoval

A nice place to have a coffee, very delicious gluten-free pastries, delicious cold brew

GLORIA MOLINA

First of all, before taking the order, they asked us if we had allergies and I have celiac disease. They brought me psalms. And they told me that the potatoes in the lamb ribs are made where other foods are made and they changed it for me. Excellent service.

Went for my birthday dinner and could not be more disappointed as it was the worst dinner I had during my stay in CDMX. The vibe was confusing and the service Was slow. While they tried accommodating my gluten free needs, they did so in a way that completely modified the dish without consulting with me while still charging me full price, which was extremely expensive for what I got. I could not even finish my meal, as it was so bad. I have had substantially better meals in the area and can't recommend this place.

Kellen Richter

The best food we had in Mexico City! I’m still dreaming of the corn tamales. The dishes are very simple and small. So we were able to order a variety of dishes. The service was great and were knowledgeable and accommodating towards my gluten allergy. Everything on the menu was gluten free. Can’t wait to come back.

Lena George

Celiac friendly! I did not get sick. Staff was helpful. Some items were marked gluten free.

Hunter Sonn

An unforgettable fine dining experience in Mexico City. Em delivers thoughtful hospitality, incredible storytelling, and innovative takes on Mexican cuisine. Every dish had a narrative, beautifully explained in both English and Spanish by the rotating staff. Shoutout to Ietza (waitress), Daniel, Diego, and Valeria (sommelier) for their warm, flawless service. They were extremely accommodating of my partner’s gluten allergy and paid attention to every detail—even folding our napkins when we stepped away. Dishes were perfectly paced, generously portioned, and beautifully plated. Highlights included the crab & caviar, a black bean tostada with a texture we’re still thinking about, and a New York steak served with the most elegant silverware. Their Oolong sparkling tea, served in a gorgeous glass, was a refreshing and rare treat. This is a place that honors Mexican food while elevating it into something truly special. Highly recommend. — Hunter Sonn

I will give it 3.7 ⭐, but I feel bad dropping the review from 4 to 3 because it's in between. Not as many gluten free options as I was led to believe. I had the catch of the day and it was good, but not stellar. Overall, it was a good but not great meal I could have had anywhere, really, and I felt like I fell for the tourist trap, reinforced by the fact That everyone dining there spoke English. Service was not very good.

Laetitia Rodot Morellon

Very nice and very good food 🥰 gluten free options for desserts which was very appreciated! Don’t be surprised, the steak is served in two batches to stay hot 😎

Tracy C

Cute French bistro that specializes in crepe and cider. By far the largest cider selection I’ve seen at a single restaurant. The beef tartare was decent, the cheese plate fairly standard. They were able to make mini gluten-free “crepes” as crackers for us to pair with the cheese plate.

Lucy

Gluten free pancakes with fruit was good. Not too dry or hard! Nice patio under trees

Ada Cleghorn

We went to eat with a craving for pasta (I eat gluten-free) and I was pleasantly surprised by how exquisite the gluten-free pasta was, cooked perfectly, al dente. Every time I have a craving for pasta, I won't hesitate to come to Santino's.

Charlotte Dormon

Really enjoyed the tuna tostada abs shrimp soup. Fast service and yummy food. Good knowledge of gluten free and not overpriced.

Melissa Perri

Caesar salad with chicken was great. Gluten free options available for both pizza and pasta.

Yi-Chieh Chen

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday. Service was largely disorganized (servers kept bringing over dishes that we did not order). We had the seasonal fruit platter, eggs benedict, and Milo’s eggs. The main dishes arrived cold, and tasted subpar. The tortilla in the eggs were flour tortillas (instead of corn tortillas per our request to accommodate for gluten allergy). Finally, when the bill arrived, the server included additional tips without our consent, which is totally unacceptable. I left the place feeling cheated and ripped off.

Ana Iglesias

Nice rooftop terrace. They have gluten free beer and some gluten free options like grilled vegetables, spanish omelette... Helpful staff.

Of all the sushi bar restaurants Moshi Moshi will always be my best choice! The food in general is good, the service is efficient, they have a great variety of dishes, the “totori” rolls will always be my favorites, although I must say that the tiradito moshi moshi is a delight, the aguachile is perfect in quality and flavor and for Of course the combo bowl accompanied by some rock shrimp are really delicious. The only thing there that doesn't convince me are the chairs that are too rigid and uncomfortable and the super narrow table. The funny thing is that I have been eating in these restaurants for years and I never felt like ordering dessert until I finally managed to try the gluten-free March chocolate bread with a soft, spongy texture, low in sugar, I was seriously delighted, and which of course I accompanied with a delicious tea of ​​natural herbs brought from Japan and marketed in Mexico, that definitely makes it more special, nothing like a good cup of tea to calm the hustle and bustle of daily life. Bon appetit… and remember to enjoy your food in good company! Sayonara.!!!

Adriana Valencia

Highly recommended! We loved the place, the food, and the atmosphere... the service and gluten-free pasta option were also excellent.

First time eating Venezuelan food. We loved it, and as someone with Celiac disease, I enjoyed the gluten free options.
