Gluten-free Mexico City

Eating gluten free here: Take care

Mexico City runs on corn, but it isn't the easy win it looks: flour tortillas turn up in many dishes and sauces are often made with gluten. Start with the fully gluten-free bakeries and cafés, most of them in Roma and Condesa.

What to ask
Soy celíaco. No puedo comer gluten, ni siquiera trazas. ¿Las tortillas y las salsas son sin gluten, y se preparan aparte de lo que lleva harina?

I'm celiac. I can't eat gluten, not even traces. Are the tortillas and sauces gluten free, and made away from anything with flour?

Where to eat

100% gluten free

The whole kitchen is gluten free. Order anything.

Coeliac-careful kitchen

Not a gluten-free kitchen, but trained for coeliacs: accredited, a separate fryer or a separate menu with real protocols.

Good gluten-free options

Plenty you can eat and staff who get it, in a kitchen that also uses flour. Say it's coeliac, not a preference.

Before you go

Corn doesn't mean safe.

Flour tortillas turn up in many dishes, cross-contact is common, and the sauces that come with tacos are often made with gluten. Ask every time.

Carry a card in Spanish.

A coeliac travel writer says she'd never eat here without one, and showed it everywhere. Say celíaco, or celíaca for a woman.

A fancy room doesn't mean they get it.

A taco stand can know exactly what you need while a smart restaurant meets sin gluten with confusion. Judge each place, not its price.

Roma and Condesa first.

Most of the fully gluten-free bakeries and cafés are in Roma Norte, Condesa and Hipódromo, close enough to walk between.

How Chef checks: every place here says it on its own site, or a coeliac writer who ate there does, and we link which. We checked on October 29, 2026. Kitchens change, staff change: if it's coeliac disease, say so every time. Photos marked "a photo like it" aren't of that place. No place paid to be here.

Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
