    Banana bread with blueberries

    I have celiac and have tried dozens of all gluten free bakeries and restaurants around the world. This was my favorite. The food is fresh and nourishing, the baked goods are epic (highly recommend the banana bread with blueberries), and the vibe is super cute. I will definitely be back!

    First of all, can I just start off by saying that this place is absolute FIRE!! Never have I been in a Gluten-Free bakery of this caliber in my life! So cute, delicious, pretty much everything about this shop is perfect. Located right across the street from El Palacio De Hierro, this place was just a couple of blocks away from where I was staying during my visit in Mexico City. K had actually found this place while we were researching all the best gluten free eateries available in town and La Otilia by far had the best options. When you first walk up into the establishment you can see a couple outdoor patio tables perfect if you're in the mood for something a bit more 'al fresco'. The inside is very Pinterest-y -- cute home & kitchen tables with antique Edison style filament bulbs. The front door is kept wide open to let the cool air in. There are two customer facing fridges available displaying all the gluten free treats available for purchase. One fridge has tons of pies and cupcakes and the other fridge has tons of cookies and other treats that look like possible scones. The staff is just as friendly and the vibe this place gives off. For the most part it is self-seating, we sat ourselves in the patio and this very friendly waitress met us. I cannot remember her name, but she was awesome! If you check in on Yelp right now you get a free Italian Soda with your check-in. Make sure you let them know ahead of time. I had the hibiscus Italian Soda and it was bomb. Very refreshing. One of those drinks you can sip slowly and last throughout your meal. My favorite part was the croissant. OH MY GAH!! This shit was amazing, out of this world, best I ever had! Loaded with slices of turkey breast and melted Manchego Cheese. So good I highly recommend it. My only complain would be that I wish the dish was bigger because I wanted another. LOL K also ordered a side cheesecake with some sort of purple jam on top and he says it was delicious. We plan to come more often if we ever find ourself back in Mexico City. If only they had something like this in Houston.

    Stop by here for some sweets after eating at Contramar. I tried their matcha with pistachio cake. It was good but very heavy. I did not finish the rest but ended up taking it back to the Airbnb stay. The space is cute, you can sit down and work on your laptop if you want. Great service.

    Brought my son here to enjoy a meal and dessert. He loved it. We had a hawaiana pizza and blueberry French toast plus a matcha muffin and cinnamon roll. It was all very tasty. It is very expensive compared to the rest of Mexico but as a little treat it's worth it.

    I am not big into Gluten free places. I am big into this place. It taste different in a very good way. I had Molletes, heart shaped cookies and a latte. Would recommend you try it at least as your desert if you find yourself in Mercadoroma.

    My favorite gluten/dairy free bakery in Mexico City!! The food is delicious and you can be assured that all your food is safe to eat if you have any dairy or gluten intolerances!! They also offer a great selection of breakfast meals, coffee, green matcha latte, bowls and so many smoothies! This place is my go to

    It took a little bit of searching bit I eventually located this restaurant. Neither the location…read moreor operating hours are the most accurate online. I did arrive a little bit early and I think that they had opened-up just minutes earlier. One of the things that I wanted to order, tacos de pastor, were not ready yet. Not a big deal. Instead I settled on two tacos de pollo milenesa. I wasn't sure how spicey their salsa really was, so I skipped on the salsa altogether. I actually eat a lot of tacos without salsa and they taste just as good to me. The ambiance was up-to-date and the restaurant was nice and clean.

Also the guy working the counter didn't speak very good English but we got along great and figured it all out. I ordered: Avo toast (delicious) Vegan sandwich (light and satisfying the steamed broccoli is a nice touch) Digestive tea (good) Chocolate cinnamon roll (tasty but a bit hard) Bought the small bag of Chile sticks (not sure the actual name) for my travels regretted not buying the big bag, they were freaking delicious!!! The only qualm I had was that the bread was a little to soft so it didn't hold well. It started to melt under the avocado in my avocado toast and the hummus in my vegan sandwich. I suggest they toast it a tad! I still highly recommend this place. Didn't get to try the smoothies because they were out would love to try on my next visit.

    A cute spot in Roma! And a restaurant that does vegan food right!…read more In a city where veggies aren't the focus, La Pitahaya really stars those veggies. The location has plenty of seating inside and outside. No restrooms I think (but a sink for you to wash your hands). The food was great! The tacos are so good! Well flavored! They are known for their pink tortillas too. Another stand out was surprisingly the kombucha. No idea if they brew it themselves, but it was great! Lastly, staff was very attentive and nice.

Ordered a michelada, and it came warm, seriously a lukewarm beer. The server pulled the bottle and poured it from their non refrigerated inventory. The service was something else, and not it the best of ways. Literally had to ask for everything while they stood there looking at you, with eyes glazed over. Whoever is training the staff there needs to either supervise or take a course in hospitality. Need a question answered? Not happening. Have an allergy question? Good luck with that. Didn't eat something after one spoonful because it was the blandest food in Mexico City? You're still paying for it even though they took it away. And to be perfectly honest, vegans have it rough when traveling, but not in cdmx thankfully. This was the blandest, most overpriced lukewarm food we ate in the city. The pink tortillas for the socials wear off pretty fast once you take a bit of barely heated mush in a slightly less warm sauce. Save your pesos and go to any other option. The service and the food is not worth the hype or the photos.

As someone who always struggles with trying to figure out what the "right" thing to order is, I absolutely loved not having to worry about this and rather sitting back and enjoying the vibes/ talking to strangers while awaiting "surprise" dishes. They were also able to cater to my vegan diet with every dish being so unique and tasty. We came by twice and between the two visits every dish we had was different. This was overall probably the most fun and tasty meal we had in Mexico City Some tips: - the restaurant is cash only so make sure to bring cash - there's no reservations so make sure to come early because lines are common. We got lucky in that we stopped by on weekdays when it was less busy

Thankfully, our Airbnb was just around the corner, and there's a brewery nearby where we were able to grab a drink while we waited. We ended up being part of the last seating of the day and were seated family-style with other guests, including people from Australia and Toronto. I actually loved that part of the experience. It made dinner feel communal, and it was fun meeting new people over an incredible meal. I ordered the Jamaica mezcal cocktail, and it was delicious--refreshing with just the right amount of smokiness. I honestly can't remember the names of all the dishes because everything is served as a tasting experience, but I do remember that every single course was fantastic. The food speaks for itself. The music, the atmosphere, and the overall vibe made the entire experience feel special. If you're visiting Mexico City, this is absolutely a place I'd recommend adding to your list.

We knew immediately we weren't the only ones with that idea. The place was busy, with a line of people putting their names down for a table. It definitely has that destination-restaurant energy. Once we were seated, we ordered several things to share. We tried a mix of fried bites, including croquetas, shrimp, and stuffed squash blossoms. The croquetas were crisp and rich, and the squash blossoms were one of the more interesting things on the table. We also ordered pizza. The crust had a nice char and chew, and the toppings were generous. I enjoyed it, although a couple of my coworkers were a little less enthusiastic. For me, the smaller plates stood out more. The room was lively, and the mix of vintage plates, copper-toned tables, and simple details gave the space a lot of personality. I also liked how naturally the menu lent itself to passing plates around and trying a little of everything. I'm glad we checked it out, especially because Lardo comes up often when people talk about eating in Mexico City. I'd happily come back and explore more of the smaller plates.

We tried a few juices, the chicken tomato salad and the salmon tacos. The salad was huge with a big portion of chicken, avocado and many toppings for a reasonable price.

What really says it all? We loved it so much, we went back the very next day. This was the only restaurant we repeated during our week-long stay, which should tell you everything. The menu is extensive and thoughtfully curated--fresh, flavorful, and something for everyone. We tried the croissant sandwich, salmon deli nut sandwich, chutney mango deli sandwich, santos ahogados, fig chipotle deli sandwich, pear honey deli sandwich, and the spicy tuna deli sandwich. The sandwiches came with a standard simple salad. Every single item was delicious, well-balanced, and satisfying in that "clean but filling" way. The tables had two delicious spicy chili oil like condiments which elevated each of these dishes. And the juices--WOW. So refreshing, vibrant, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The perfect complement to the food and ideal for starting (or resetting) your day. If you're visiting Mexico City, Ojo de Agua is an absolute must. With such a wide menu, you're guaranteed to find something you'll love--and very likely come back for more. Highly recommend!

I went to Mexico City with my vegan husband…read morerecently and was so pleasantly surprised with just how many vegan options there were within the city. I am not vegan, so I normally search for a place that has both but this place was so close to our hotel, it was hard to resist. Genuinely- I was blown away, even as an omnivore. Everything was really affordable and quick and I managed to snap a pic of the tacos I ordered, even though my husband devoured his torta before I could document it. We came back for lunch the next day. It's relatively small, but there is seating inside and outside and it is pretty fast, so spots open up quick.

The service was a little mixed; one waitress seemed to initially have a negative attitude, but then later was fine; the other waitress who helped us was more friendly; I'll chalk it up to the fact that it was a Sunday night one hour before closing. The food itself tasted good, but nothing out of this world. This place has a punk rock vibe. Overall, I would potentially come back.
