Vicente's

Food was excellent. Felt comfortable. Will be back.

That review was five years ago. Went back recently. Staff not knowledgeable. Foood was not very good. Was nervous about my meal but I didn’t get sick so they must have at least made the food properly. Service was lousy

We were in Detroit for 5 days and we tried several of the moderately priced restaurants listed here for dinner. This was by far the best. The food was well seasoned and delicious. The price was reasonable and the portions were a good size. We came back for lunch on our last day in Detroit and had the same delicious food, the same size portion for about 25% less.

Delicious paella, many GF options, and wait staff familiar with gluten allergies. Have eaten here 3 times, and had a wonderful experience every time!

Staff was knowledgeable about celiacs disease. You should tell them if you have celiacs disease since the fried plantains, a common sidedish in many gluten free dishes, are fried in the same oil as other foods containing gluten. They'll help you out if you just say you want it gluten free though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful experience. Knowledgeable staff. Have gluten free flan for dessert.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Arguably my favorite restaurant in Detroit. I either get the paella or the ropa vieja and a big ol’ glass of sangria. I’ve been a half dozen times since I was diagnosed and have never had an issue.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are knowledgeable and have a separate prep area. I ordered the duck entree and the chef didn’t give me the plantains because there was a CC risk. Not sure if it’s because it’s fried or something elsebut I’m glad they were knowledgeable enough to keep me from getting sick. It was really good but just a heads up you will be paying about $28 an entree.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I haven't had Cuban food for years, so I was a bit apprehensive. It was great though, loved the food.

Vicente’s offers considerable gluten free options and the wait staff and kitchen are dialed in to what gluten free means! If you like Cuban cuisine this is your new gem!!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am Celiac. I didn't get glutened here! I had paella. The staff were attentive. Tell them you are celiac. You can not worry and eat. Enjoy!

I’ve been here twice in the last month. Delicious food and did not have a reaction either time. My non celiac dinner companions like their food too. I had the Medallones De Cerdo the first time and Churrasco Con Chimichurri the second. Great mojitos too!

Yes this place is expensive but it was an amazing place to have a fancy date night. We splurged on their paella! Highly suggest it! No reactions and they do have lots of options on their menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic atmosphere, great food, amazing sangria, wonderful staff. I try to go here everytime I'm back in town. This places is a staple for me (Gluten and Lactose Intolerant) and my mom (Gluten Intolerant). The wait staff is super knowledgeable and occasionally there are additional items on the menu that can be modified even if they aren't marked GF.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food is fantastic (so is sangria). Staff knew what they were talking about...very helpful. Lots of gluten free options. Good vibe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was just okay. Menu items that are gluten free marked with GF. There are other places in Detroit I would rather eat. Two meals and fries for my son was $60. with 2 pops.

So many options and so yummy!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of options and all delicious!

Amazing meal! Our waitress Jaime took really good care of us and was super knowledgeable about everything. Easy to find the food you can eat and plenty of selections. Simply DELICIOUS food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Simply AMAZING food. The GLUTEN FREE options are right on the menu! Try something new, you won't be SORRY!

Delicious Cuban food and quite a few gluten free options.
