Top 50 Gluten-Free Restaurants to Discover in Mexico

Morgan Joyner

I’ve been to MANY gluten free bakeries around the world and this is the worst I’ve ever eaten at. Everything crumbles apart and is served cold (even the warm dishes they bring out cold). It took them 30 minutes to bring our food for it to be cold and dry. We were the only people there at 9am. Unless you are vegan and gluten free and don’t have any other choice, I’d highly recommend skipping this place. It is not worth the money or extended time you’ll wait to get your cold food.

Gluten free crust made out of quinoa and rice available. Different that I’m used to but still tasty! Vegan/lactose free cheese available as well.

Camille Mongeau

Such a good vibe, very calm even though it’s close from the main streets and board walk. The owner and staff are so kind. And the food, wow so so good. We tried the pizza, it was like an authentic Italian pizza. **they have pizza and pasta that are gluten free !!

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. I went for a gluten free pizza and it was delicious and crispy. I would recommend for any coeliacs in Playa.

Maureen Pasquier

I recommend! This restaurant is perfect for vegetarians and gluten-free people. The service is impeccable 👌 :)

During our stay in Sayulita, we found ourselves returning to Santas Iguanas twice in one week, it’s that good! This cozy Italian spot delivers on both flavor and atmosphere, making it a standout choice for a delicious meal. I couldn’t resist trying the Iguana Pasta, and it did not disappoint. The homemade pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauce had an incredible depth of flavor that balanced richness with just the right amount of spice. My girlfriend had the gluten-free Bolognese pasta, and she loved every bite. It’s not always easy to find good gluten-free options, but SantasIguanas nailed it with their homemade pasta and hearty, slow-cooked sauce. The drinks here are just as impressive as the food. Whether you’re in the mood for a refreshing cocktail or a well-paired glass of wine, the bar has something for everyone. The atmosphere is laid-back yet inviting, perfect for a casual dinner or a romantic night out. A special shoutout to Sarah, our amazing waitress, who made our visit even better with her friendly service and great recommendations. If you’re in Sayulita and craving Italian food, Santa’s Iguanas is a must-visit!

This business made my wedding cake. It was the best cake my husband and I had ever had. I can’t rave enough about the taste and texture of this cake. No one would ever know it was gluten free.

Haley Dool

Best place to eat in Oaxaca for people with food allergies. I’m gluten free and dairy free and was able to enjoy a lovely breakfast and dinner with no problems. They also have dairy free and gluten free pastry options.

Mel Griffin

Best burger I’ve had since being diagnosed celiac. The bun was delicious and didn’t fall apart. Everything else was super tasty also. What a gem

Maria Paz Olivares

All very delicious and gluten-free. 100% safe for celiacs. The tuna toasts are delicious. I recommend it!!

Natalia Marin Arribas

The gluten free paradise and also lots of vegan, keto, non dairy options… love it, highly recommend!!!

Dominic Amsinck

In my opinion a must if you are in Valladolid! The hostess was super nice and simply adorable. She speaks very good English. The food is of very high quality and tastes an experience. Gluten-free options are also offered. Definitely a recommendation. And a huge thank you to Julia.

Zoe Griffiths

Great gluten free options. All marked up on the menu. Came here twice!

Ms Alhadi

To all my gluten free and Celiac friends, yesterday we went to Mezcal and Sal and it was delicious. As soon you sit and tell them you have a gluten free allergy they ask if you are celiac. Mara and Leo were our amazing waiters and they made sure i was well taken care of too. I had the vegan cheese quesadilla and it was delicious I also had the shrimp gluten free tisadito. Thank you Mara and Leo I would definitely go back :)

Emily

Lovely cafe with great food and smoothies and friendly staff, just a bit on the pricey side! Lots of options for vegan and gluten free.

Katie Lambert

Gorgeous restaurant and amazing food! Ate here on my birthday while visiting Playa del Carmen and was so magical and delicious! I have celiac (gluten allergy) and the team was incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable on allergies - Highly recommend the tuna steak - it was so delicious! And the restaurant is actually built around a cenote - super cool experience and some of the best food I ate in Mexico!

J. C.

Lots of gluten-free dishes, super delicious food, nice ambience, first-class service

Sophie Castelbou

A pretty garden in the shade of the jungle, smiling and welcoming staff and impeccable service. A healthy and tasty breakfast... and even a delicious gluten free chocolate tart. I recommend 200%

Mone **

Nice restaurant with the option to eat a gluten-free burger. I found it very tasty. The employees seemed rather unmotivated.

Gluten Free Baked Goods are the best. This is a bit of an unusual review. I have to eat Gluten Free. I had one of the cupcakes at Flora Farms and was impressed by how good it was. We have a home in Pescadero up the coast an hour and usually are in Baja for my birthday. I decided to order a cake from Flora Farms. We had to pick it up 3 days early after an airport pick-up. I was a bit worried about transporting the cake but we brought a portable refrigerator and managed with only a little damage that was later covered by flowers. I ordered Gluten Free Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting. The cake held up beautifully for 3 days - I froze it and thawed the day of serving. It honestly was one of the best cakes any of us - gluten free and not alike - had ever had. The frosting has tons of vanilla bean and the texture of the cake outstanding. There is the tiniest hint in the texture that it is gf that only I would pick up since I worry sometimes whether things are truly gf - that slight difference is reassuring. Enjoying leftovers for breakfast. Glad I only have cake on my birthday as it would be too easy to over indulge. I imagine Flora Farms makes good cakes because of the wedding activity on site but very few manage a gluten free version this amazing.

Daniel Diaz Vargas

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

Fer y Gaby Jbch

Very delicious, I am celiac and the young man who served us explained the menu and ingredients very well, very friendly and very delicious, not so expensive prices and handmade blue corn tortillas.

Pandora Wotton

enjoyed the smoothies and healthy breakfast options! lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. great service and nice outdoor seating with plants and umbrellas

Elaine Broe

This place is sheer perfection, it was the first restaurant we tried in Mérida and we're going back. Paula and the team have created a fantastic atmosphere along with delicious and beautiful food. It's not easy to create a balance of stellar dishes while still maintaining a welcoming and playful vibe, all the servers were fantastic. We had the duck tacos and the tuna tacos, Poema Oaxacena cocktails and guacamole you dream of. The design aesthetic of the place is remarkable, from the beautiful light fixtures to the surprise and delight of the treats and words of wisdom at the end of the meal. We can't wait to go back this week! Also if you're celiac, they have everything identified clearly on the menu and communicated purposefully what I could and couldn't eat when bringing anything to the table.

They have homemade gluten free gnocchi which was a plus for me. Pesto was really good and I added grilled shrimp which was flavorful. My partner had the sea bass and he was a fan. Service was great and host explained the dishes in detail. Ohh and the chocolate cake was good too.

Mischi Hürlimann

He directly asked for allergies. They made the tacos with corn tortillas - really nice!

Adrian Popescu

Most of the things on the menu are gluten free. Lots of options to choose from. Portions are quite generous and the taste is great. They even provide coffee refills on the house. So far, my favorite place on the island. Definetly recommend.

Vee K

They have Gluten-free bread!! I had a delicious lunch! soup, sandwich and water of the day (papaya) it was a tasty treat.

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!

Charly Luna

Absolutely spectacular! Such a fun, friendly, and beautiful atmosphere. Best servive. Such love. MY HEART IS SO FULL! The family feel, the melody and tune of the entire place. The people! The connection. And the safety and cleanliness. I have Celiac and they were very accommodating. I felt so safe to eat. And I ate it all! 😋 Can't wait to be back!

Samuel Benz

Fantastic small overlooked restaurant with family recipes and house mezcal margs. Many dishes cooked or marinated with pulque. All gluten free and celiac friendly dishes. Amazing mole on pork and brisket tacos. Fried plantain for dessert! Maybe the James Beard Award reviewers should have a look!

Michelle Brown

I love this place! Being gluten free and vegan is hard in the US and even harder in Mexico. This store has many pastries and desserts, not all are vegan and gluten free, but I found several options when I went! I had pan, muffins, cinnamon rolls, hand pies, and cake. They also have vegan cheese and gluten free tortillas (made from nopales!). Many grocery items are available, like milks, flours, cookies, nuts, popsicles, etc. The employees are great, too. They helped me find the gluten free items. I didn't speak much Spanish and the lady I talked to didn't speak much English, but she was really nice and we made it work! I didn't have the chance to eat at the restaurant part of it, but I definitely will next visit.

Begoña Valencia

Nice place for brunch. Food is good, between too healthy and healthy; plenty of options to choose from including gluten free ones. Prices are a bit high, but okay for San Miguel Allende. Services isn't great though. Staff is super friendly but they forgot some requests we made, didn't hear us when we called and so on. So be patient. The restaurant itself has a rustic style.

S Smith

Good food, good drinks. Friendly staff. Big menu with lots of choices, even vegan and gluten free selections

Mariela Whaley

Excellent food, great service. I'm vegetarian and my partner is gluten free and they have vegetarian and gluten free dishes marked on the menu

Gallo Alejandro

They have Gluten Free food 🙌🏻

Mary Bartell

Jolly is absolutely one of my favorite cafes in Cozumel. The food is always great and the atmosphere is chill and cozy. The staff is always fast and friendly. When I vacation on the island this is always the restaurant I go to first. My favorite is the Eggs Benedict but the avocado toast is a close second. The golden milk is very good and there coffee is made very well. Andy the waitress is always so cheerful and fun! It's a joy getting breakfast here. Their gluten free bread is great!!

Michael B

Great pizza for very reasonable price. Gluten free option was also good. Good customer service and speedy delivery. Able to pay with my card directly to the driver.

Michele Dastin-van Rijn

The setting is gorgeous, the staff are warm and professional, nice drinks, excellent selection of gluten free items including chef’s surprise, tuna tartare trio, housemade gluten free bread, AND Cabo Lime Pie

Conor S

Lovely restaurant, food was good, not exceptional but quite nice. Service was excellent and the ambiance while dining on the beach was lovely. After dining at numerous beach restaurants in PV the beach vendors are very overwhelming while trying to enjoy your meal. It would be nice if some partitions were in place to keep vendors out so they aren't hassling you at your table. Drinks were okay, they had a nice selection of "not-your-average" cocktails. Very accommodating to gluten and dairy allergies and the menu was easy to navigate these allergies as well.

Donna Phillips

Looked like there would be more gluten free options based on the reviews. However when we got there they only had one item on the menu for gluten free. Pancakes and they weren’t great.

Michelle Alonso Ledo

This restaurant is overrated, the food is not bad but there are better restaurants. A must of the place is the manteles short rib, the best in the place, and the rib eye with mashed potatoes. For appetizers we ordered a beef tongue tea and barbecue tacos, these appetizers are recommended to be skipped or instead look for another appetizer option. For dessert I recommend the coconut pineapple and the flan, the one that tasted the most was the coconut, it was exquisite, another thing to be grateful for is that it is gluten free and the flan was good but I think there are better desserts. In summary, the best of the night was the short rib, the rib eye and the coconut pineapple. Overall score I would say 4.0

Ramona Pfanzelt

Wow, wow, wow! Rarely have I had such good service! Sangria was extremely good (tip: order the 1/2 liter straight away, it's cheaper 😉). Pizza bread was amazing too! Ravioli too! Gluten-free pasta is also served. Every heart beats faster 🙏🏼

Anthony Monioudis

From the moment we walked to the time we left, service was impeccable. Entrees arrived hot and tasted as freshly made. Portions on the large side, so if you want dessert, come super hungry or pace yourself. Pri rs were reasonably. Gluten free options available were marked on the menu. Staff very knowledgeable. Fettuccine Puntanesco (GF penne substituted) and Spagehti Carbonara were ordered with Wedge Salads. Table bread complimentary and brought GF tortilla chips as well as an attentive courtesy. Totally two thumbs up!

Loretta Lynn

It's good but not so small for so much money. This little ceviche cost me $290. I went here and ordered takeout because of celiac but how sad that we with celiac have to eat in expensive places. ALSO, they told me it comes with toast but they only gave me tortilla chips... something stressful for celiacs because I asked about their toast, not their tortilla chips. HOWEVER, I appreciate everyone who helped me with celiac, they took all my questions with great patience. 5/5 star service, it's just that there was little food. Many thanks to the host and the kitchen <3

Cristina Castro

It is a very good option for breakfast, the dishes are very delicious and the price is affordable, I loved the keto and gluten free options

Amy Kaur

Great food and great atmosphere at Panza! We were looking for a place that does gluten free pizza and this place had many GF options! Kevin our waiter was so nice and helpful throughout! Great service would recommend

Paddy G

Honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. We had the best time. Great music, amazing service from Julio, food was amazing. We brought our own fish we caught from the sea few hours earlier and the chef cooked it beautifully. Gluten free pasta was great. 5/5.

Maddie H.

The rooftop is gorgeous and the food is delicious! Really appreciate the gluten free labeling on their menu. I also tried their iced coffee and it was delish. Would highly recommend!

Madelaine Hayden

Amazing Italian food, my friend had a gluten free pizza and loved it. Cocktails were also amazing. To top it off the staff were attentive and very friendly. Amazing service - thank you!
