Bogota Latin Bistro has an extensive gluten free menu. I had ground beef, yellow rice, black beans, and an empanada. Great food and definitely will be back!

Bogota is my go-to restaurant for safe dining, and for years I would have given it 5 stars since the food is quite good with many GF options. It was my favorite restaurant for some time. But as the business has expanded, quality has become a bit inconsistent, and delivery sizes have shrunk considerably. A few times the food has been way too aggressively salted (I say this as a salt lover!), on more than one occasion the kale has been sandy (!), and chicken can be overcooked. This isn’t always the case…it’s more like sometimes the kitchen has a not-great night, which can happen anywhere, but it happens more frequently these days (usually when getting delivery — haven’t had many issues when eating there).

That said, MOST of the time the food is really good and it’s amazing to have so many fried options. I’ve never gotten sick and appreciate that so much of the menu is GF. I still go here often but no longer order delivery. So I definitely recommend it, but it doesn’t hit it out of the park quite the same way that it used to a few years back.

I cannot wait to come back here! Last night my boyfriend and I traveled from Long Island for a show in Brooklyn, and we were ravenous after. I’ve been vegan for years, but just got diagnosed with Celiac a few months ago- I used the app Find Me Gluten Free to search for restaurants in the area and my boyfriend and I were drooling over Bogotá’s menu online which clearly stated which meals were GF/V/VG. We walked a mile and were promptly seated. I double checked with the server that my meal was vegan and gluten free due to my celiac’s, and she was very knowledgeable and reassuring! The food was beyond delicious. My boyfriend doesn’t haven’t any dietary restrictions and also loved his meal. The restaurant was clean, beautifully decorated and we were both beyond pleased. I absolutely recommend this restaurant and for real will be back despite that it’s so far from home, I wish they had a Long Island location!!! Thanks Bogota!

Great delicious food, take your device though as menu is via website, which is good news is you can pre plan the gluten-free free feast. I was really excited how much of the menu was available gluten-free. Waiter even had the option to list my order as allergic which was very reassuring.

Such a celiac paradise! The bulk of the menu is gluten free, with very clear labeling on the menu. Everything marked gluten free on the menu is prepared separately and safely! Yes, even the fried plantains. Got the arepa de pabellón and it was super delicious, no reactions. Also enjoyed a mojito! Great vibe, would definitely come again!

Have had several good experiences here years ago, but tonight we were seated and waited 20 mins at our table with no server coming over. We asked the hostess and still no one came over. Our two young kids were starving and crabby so after 30 mins we gave up and left.

My favorite joint in BK! They are super knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free customers. Flavors are delicious and staff are always so nice! It's authentic Columbian food! The steak and veggie emptiness are my absolute favorite. You also get a bang for your buck for lunch vs dinner. My favorite dishes are the plantain crusted chicken and skirt steak!

Extensive GF options on the menu, and I didn't get sick at all, so in terms of gluten I would say it's safe. However, the food didn't taste very good (overcooked, dried out, generally lacking in flavor) and the service was terrible. We waited 10 minutes for someone to take our order, another 10 minutes for chips and guacamole, then almost 45 minutes before food arrived, and no one checked on us in the meantime. Maybe they're better for takeout.
