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 🙌🏼
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!

This was one of my favorite restaurants and one of the best experiences I had in CDMX. The staff was very knowledgeable and, even though only about 1/4 of the menu was GF, everything I ate was delicious!

Absolute FAVORITE place! The staff was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating - they have a separate gluten free fryer! And the food was beyond delicious!
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.

We had lunch at the taqueria today - the food was amazing and our waiter, Ismael, was the best!! He explained the history of the restaurant, the different kinds of corn they use, and how they make the tortillas. He also thoroughly explained the menu (in English), gave us samples of the drinks we were interested in, and was incredibly patient and understanding of my gluten allergy. I highly recommend stopping here for some amazing tacos during your stay!!

10 course lunch over 3 hours with friends on a perfect autumnal day in CDMX: life doesn’t get much better. The food and service were exquisite with white Bordeaux to match. Some dishes contain insects (not visibly) and almost none contain gluten. It is not cheap but this level of cuisine might unaffordable in other cities, even if you could get a table.
I really liked the tacos. Most things are made from corn, so I was able to eat here without any problems although according to me there are no extra gluten-free options.
Obsessed with this place for breakfast or brunch. We did get this included for free by using the AmEx card to book our stay at the Sofitel. The food is so delicious and beautiful, buffet and menu ordering. The service is perfection - kind, attentive, helpful, everyone speaks so many languages. On our last day, the wonderful *Sara* at the crepe/quesadilla station packed us up amazing to go boxes for our flight. Francisco, Enrique, Dany, and a fabulous woman waitress who I didn't get her name just were the best. I just love this place so much! The chocolate crepes, the yogurt and toppings, OMG the insane pastries, OMG the chilaquiles with green sauce, the juices and the ginger peach tea... I could go on and on. They have great gluten free options too. Chairs are comfortable. Sometimes a little noisy, and I wish the music wasn't all American! Definitely recommend going for sure though.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.!!!

We grabbed the last two spots at the cozy bar and the owner greeted us to tell us they aren’t actually open yet. They were hosting friends and family but invited us to join anyway. The staff and other guests were so warm and welcoming and the food and drinks were amazing. The mezcal cocktails were flavourful and balanced. We had empanadas, tacos, calamari and a corn hummus dish, all of which were spectacular. Every dish is gluten free so it’s a perfect spot for people with celiac disease. Beautiful space, great food and drink and lovely people, don’t miss this spot!

Amazing sauces! The salad and tempura were delicious, but the mussels were especially delicious (and I don't even like mussels).
Excellent service, they gladly helped us choose gluten-free dishes. We will surely return soon!
Wonderful experience, like in this place and everything is delicious, especially the duck, it is very worth it, and they also have exquisite gluten-free bread. Very good service. Ideal place to celebrate special occasions
RESTAURANT TRYING TO INFLUENCE REVIEWS (immediately after I posted my original review, they responded asking me to change my rating) - I found a PLASTIC string in one of my courses and received a lukewarm apology at best. The chef came and said that the rest of the food in the course was okay since the plastic was only in the bread right?? I was also with my friend who was gluten free and I emphatically specified in writing before the dinner that I was not gluten free and would like the original tasting menu. We also specified this 3 different times to 2 different people before we were able to correct them to stop giving me the gluten free menu also. The 6 courses were wholly forgettable and at points inedible (plastic aside), for example, the duck was tough and rubbery and the seasonings were muted. I still paid for the full meal and tipped but honestly looking back I should have walked out. I would have walked out if I was not dining with somebody else. This is not up to par with the price they are expecting guests to pay.
Solid Argentinian restaurant in a cute & romantic setting.
They serve complimentary bread (not gluten-free) and aubergine at the beginning of the meal - both delectable.
Our favorite is the provoleta cheese (probably the best we have had in CDMX).
The meats and sauces are of good quality and flavor.
The strawberry meringue is a nice ending to the meal.
(Not sure why Google lists it as an Uruguayan restaurant.)
Super good place! Very nice and they have quite a few gluten-free options, they are also trained on allergies and intolerances. I tried Hoja Santa and I loved it. We will return!
