Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Albuquerque

Natalie @OTGFM

GREAT gluten free Italian menu - I’ve been coming here for years, the owner is gluten intolerant and most of the menu can be made GF (they have a whole menu) and incredible desserts couldn’t recommend more - find more on @ontheglutenfreemenu on IG & TIKTOK 🧡

ausmalen Space with delicious 🌱 vegan brunch options- and Gluten-free if wanted. tasty and flavorful- and if the temperatures would have permitted- sitting outside would give the ambience 5 Stars ;-)

So far have had the salmon lox, chicken and waffles, goat cheese and cherry, and some sort of potato waffle. they’ve all been spectacular. The waffles are fluffy and sweet. Extra brownie points for having plenty of delicious gluten free options. The restaurant itself leaves much to be desired. A lot of it is simple maintenance and upkeep issues. Also limited seating inside but plenty outside.

Maren Ott

Ate here twice in a week visit, because hot dogs are always good, and almost the whole menu can be made gluten free. Lots of creative specials, or build your own for the best experience. Tots are super crispy, and so tasty they need no sauce. Good enough to have regulars that eat there every day.

Marina Hein

Can Always count on this place for delicious gluten-free food. Sometimes staff are weirdly unfriendly, but from reading other reviews it sounds like they’re just doing their best in what sounds like a toxic place to work. I would also be a downer if the stories here and on Reddit about working here are true. So great food but make sure to tip your server if you go!!

Gail Cali

This was a lovely experience. I use a mobility device, and I'm gluten intolerant. They are not only very accomidating, but provide a sense of belonging and dignity that people with different needs don't always get. Plus, the tea and food were amazing both in presentation and quality. Thanks St. James Tearoom! Keep doing what you do.

Marijke Fuller

I loved this place!!! Excellent customer service &food! I have a gluten allergy and this was the perfect place to go! I will be back!

One of the few places in Albuquerque a Celiac can get a burger & fries. 🤞My child HAS not been glutened and we've eaten there more than once. So far it has been a positive experience. The food is delicious. I love the sweet potato fries!

Patricia Valderrama

The Bandeja Paisa and chicken salad were delicious. Accompanied with fruit juices of Milo and maracuyá. What a treat! Their menu is gluten free and has some vegetarian options.

Sam Stein

Literally the BEST gluten free pizza I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot of them). I ate a few bites and decided there was no way it was gluten free.. went back to the counter to ask them and they reassured me it was! Even my non gluten free husband couldn’t tell the difference. 🙌🏻

Michael M

The food was delicious and the staff is friendly! They have gluten free bread available and free ice cream on tap. I’d recommend the Chipotle Chicken & Avocado Panini.

Peggy Borchardt

The food is good. However, the menu declares gluten free on their omelet menus yet this is a stretch. Yes, the egg dish is gluten free, however the English muffin that comes with it is not. Usually not an issue but I was informed it would cost an additional 75 cents per slice of gluten free bread and would be able to substitute potatoes for the additional price of a side dish. If they simply had substituted a slice of GF bread for the English muffin I wouldn’t consider even writing this.

Karen Herrera

Coffee is top-notch. Gluten-free options are wonderful. 1st empanada I've had in more than 30 years. Grateful!!

Josh Cordon

Not one to go to chains often, especially with certain cuisines, but am I glad I came here! last time I went to a PF Changes it was meh. this place has it DOWN! Food was amazing def making this our goto spot for chinese! and the service was amazing too, server/ Chefs were so nice to help accommodate my Wife's gluten Free needs.

Felicia Rodriguez

Best gluten free restaurant!

Kate Miller

We are big fans of Grassburger. We appreciate their attentiveness and consideration for those with allergies. They have great quality food with careful practices that allow people with celiac to enjoy a good burger without the stress of explaining and entrusting cross contamination mitigation practices to them.

Holly Gallegos

By far my favorite pizza place in the city. It's so rare for an ABQ restaurant to have a menu that's got more than one gluten free option (or a gluten free option that is something other than salad), but Farina has gluten free pizza crusts and gluten free pastas. They have a huge selection! Not only that, but the gluten free pizza crust is soft, pillowy, and delicious--very different from the thin, soggy crust that lots of other places offer. It sometimes takes a little extra time for Farina to prepare gluten free dishes, but it's 100% worth the wait. The servers are always so knowledgeable and friendly. I've been coming here and bringing my friends here for years. Definitely recommend!

Matthew Brown

The food is always great and the atmosphere is pretty solid, relaxed and comfortable. I love the gluten free options. The service, though, can be very slow; sometimes it takes 25 minutes to get two scrambled eggs when the restaurant is almost empty. Perfectly friendly and competent counter staff, but about half the time I come here my food takes a comically long time to reach me.

Jen Pecasting

Great customer service from Jim. Love their gluten free pizza.

Suchil Coffman

This is a great spot, a straight up homage to the 80s, from video game machines, the red checkered tile floor, to listening to The Cars play while eating. Casual, laid-back, great food, no pretention. Also, huge plus that they have fantastic gluten free pizza available.

Malcolm Reese

Great food and great service with almost everything gluten free options! I have celiac disease, so having a big salad bar and menu of gluten free options is huge

Callahan Droitsch

Tons of options for everyone! You can find dairy free, gluten free, vegan options. There are about 10-15 different food options of all types of cuisine. My favorite is the Meso Grill and Kulantro

Lindsey Laveirge

Stopped in here on Sunday for the first time for a coffee and scone. All of their baked goods looked delicious, and they had a gluten free option as well. They serve satellite coffee on site, and my Mexican Mocha was on point. The cafe was packed! So busy! The kind cashier said it’s always that busy on Sundays. It was very loud and was a bit too much stimulus for my husband and I to sit inside. We found a table in the sun outside (a bit too cold to sit outside otherwise in December), and enjoyed our coffee and pastry. Will definitely come back, but certainly not on a Sunday.

Alicia Hernandez

Unreal!! Food was amazing and so good if you like a little spice. They have the option to make sauce gluten free which was great. Drunken noodles were a 10/10

Pamela Cowan

The gluten free pancakes are delicious!. They messed up our order and it was delayed by 30 min.. A little misplacing of our order. But I would come back! The place was clean and we beat the Sunday brunch rush! Great place!

Benjamin Whittaker

Wonderful place. The staff was helpful & accommodating. The food was great & many gluten free options. Will eat here again. Hopefully many times.

Dusty Davis

The food was delicious. The service was awesome. They were very knowledgeable and accommodating for our family members with Celiac. We will go back.

Reg Roark

Staff is always super friendly. The food is always super great and for 2 years I've been living gluten-free and they honestly have the best gluten-free pizza in town!

Cynny P

Great gluten free crapes! Cute space, unfortunately the service is not great.

T T

Best vegetarian gluten free burger I have ever had. They also have a delicious gluten not carrot cake and brownie. It’s challenging eating out with such an inconvenient allergy but I really appreciate that they have actual meal options and not just salads.

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!!

Jamie Diaz

Fabulous gluten free pita! Literally one of the best gluten free substitutes you can get in town and they're really consistent, and also great at labeling the orders so we don't get mixed up (I have celiac, my other half does not). We order food here like once a week and it's always great! Fresh, delicious meats, salad and patates. Never change!

Yecca A

Delicious!!! Good gluten free bun too. Fries were awesome.

Andy Rivero

Superb pizza and several gluten free (GF) options available. Homemade tiramisu was delicious. Definitely get extra cheese (I agree with pizza reviews for NM that several places skimp a bit). Did not try any wine. Free parking available.

BenJoDan

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

Chrissy B

Great pizza and pasta, great service, scrumptious salmon salad, and even gluten free options.

TK O'Geary

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.

Kimberly Brewster

The gluten free options are clearly marked on the menu, and the food is delicious! The Medium heat level was too spicy for me, but the Mild was just right and very flavorful!

BreAnn Kathman

Food was great! Service was amazing and the atmosphere is chill. I am a gluten free human and they have WAFFLES THAT ARE DELICIOUS!! All the food was amazing!

Torrey Brooks-Mauga

Staff were phenomenal at helping us make a friend's birthday special! Our group had vegans, vegetarians, and people with food allergies (in addition to a couple of meat and potatoes folks) and our waiter was able to make recommendations that left everyone's needs met and our palate's satisfied. I have anaphylactic food allergies, and tend to avoid going out to eat (nothing ruins a date night faster than an ambulance ride to the ER). I called beforehand to find out if there were any dishes I could safely eat (there was) and the manager asked me to still let the waiter know about my food allergies before ordering. Staff were pleasantly surprised by my service dog remaining invisible, even after a gentleman walked by with his "service dog" that barked and lunged under my chair. The tables are a little close together for easy wheelchair use, I wouldn't go when I'm having a POTS flare, despite the tables being the correct height for my chair. If you are a wheelchair user, I would recommend calling ahead and making a reservation, and requesting a table that is easily accessible (and not need to go beyond the cloth covered booths). The format of the tables does make it very easy for properly trained service dogs to tuck under the tables and remain invisible to patrons and out of the way of staff...even my mastiff/lab cross was easily able to tuck under the table and minimally impact the person seated across from me (they just had to be mindful to not kick her, they said she was completely out of their way). The food was so good, and kitchen staff did such an amazing job at not permitting cross contact with my allergens, Thursday night may have been my first time at Seasons 52, but it definitely won't be my last! Gluten free, dairy free and nightshade fruit free meal!

Ashley

Rio Grande is my favorite location. It's always packed and sometimes it can be a challenge to find parking. Seating can be a challenge if the group is more than 2. Otherwise, even though it gets very busy, there's usually always available seating. Love the outdoor seating arrangement as well. Also stoked that they actually have a nice variety of gluten free 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!

Alex Carie

Honestly one of the best places to get pizza or cheesy bread (which honestly best cheesy bread I’ve had in a lonnggg time). I wish other restaurants had employees that were so good at their jobs. They are always so nice and they nail the orders on the head every time. The lady with glasses that works the take out area needs a special shout-out for being so awesome and just thank y’all for really giving such good customer service in a world where it is harder to find. Also, best Gluten free pizza in ABQ

Bianca Valencia

Dez, Mya, Ben and David are absolutely great! I went in around 3 ish and the service was quick and efficient! My first time actually being in the restaurant and my second time enjoying the deliciousness! I just recently moved to the area and was looking for a new pizza place and this one takes the cake! It's also conveniently right across the street from where I work which is a huge plus!! My non cheese pizza was cooked to perfection! The service was A+. The wait time was non existent! Vegan and gluten free options! They have a nice alcohol selection! Who doesn't like pizza and beer! Definitely recommend trying this place out! 10/10!

Jenna Davis

The menu was diverse. I had poached eggs with bacon. The kale salad honestly was my favorite, it was so good!! The chai tea was special and tasted homemade. I also got a chocolate chip gluten free cookie, with pistachio glaze. I loved their gluten free selection and knowledge! I came to work and have some lunch, it was a perfect location!

Hilary Walker

Vegos is an absolute joyful place to go. The ambiance is wonderful, the owners and staff are thoughtful and kind, the food is amazing. And I looove the new juices. If you're gluten-free, they are very accommodating! The elotes are sooo good.

Chris Rambicure

I wish they were opened later! The food is great but getting an awesome gluten free late night is almost impossible!!!

It has been a long time since I have been to Pei Wei. The other location cooking area was so dirty that I stopped eating at any Pei Wei locations. It was next door to a store that I was shopping in, so I decided to give Pei Wei another chance. Gluten free, vegetarian and kid's menu options are absolutely available. There are more options on the restaurant's menu than on the website. Clean restaurant and cooking area. Good customer service. However, I ordered a very spicy Kung Pao Shrimp and it had way too many carrots in it, just a few shrimp. In addition, ordered a kid's meal and meal had to be remade because it contained wrong protein. Will I be back to any Pei Wei? Probably not. Pei Wei seems to have lost its appeal. Perhaps you'll have a better experience than I have. Best of luck to you!

Kathryn Minnaar

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