De La Vega

This is a cute little spot in the historic downtown area with a very creative menu and lots of gluten-free and vegan options. We felt like some tapas so we ordered the rice balls with cheese and chicken on a bed of molé, the Avocado Rellenos with citrus marinated shrimp and sweet and savory plantains with balsamic infused hibiscus flowers. Everything was delicious! They also have some delicious looking entrées, corn Arepas stuffed with delicious fillings and bowls to choose from. And nothing bothered me at all.

De La Vega was delicious!! The menu had so many gluten free options and vegan options. My boyfriend and I both had the hibiscus tacos. They even had vegan cheese! For sides we got plantains and Yuka fries. The cup of guacamole was very good. We highly recommend!

I love love love this place. It is beautiful and very flavorful food. One of my favorite places to eat!! There are many naturally gluten free menu options so I never feel disappointed about lack of options.

I have visited De La Vega several times, and been mostly disappointed. The main dish is never wonderful, but I also never get sick. However, the green salsa is great! I also loved their sweet plantains in chocolate sauce, but they discontinued that. It’s too expensive and far too loud inside and out to be worth it for me. However, I appreciate the allergen effort.

Delicious, unique, and flavorful food! The staff is knowledgeable about gluten intolerance and celiac and advised me not to get one of the tapas dishes marked gluten free due to the common fryer. I had Chillitos Rellenos and they were amazing!

Excellent gluten free selection and outstanding food!

Not only does de la Vega have a menu to die for, they are also generous to the community, participating in and catering local governmental and community events. The restaurant offers many gluten-free selections. One of the best dishes I've tried there is the plain takin soup. Forget ordering just a cup of it: the bowl-size is adequate but if I could order it by the carafe I'd be in heaven. The service is delightful as well.

Very good food. Gf knowledgable . The wait staff very accommodating .

The food is simply amazing, the flavors are simply incredible. Rather large GF Latin American menu to select from. No cross contamination issues. Grab a bunch of tapas plates and enjoy.

When I first walked in the restaurant it was a mixture of familiarity with a little bit of elegance. I am both vegan and gluten free (allergy not preference). I had multiple options not just 1 or 2 to choose from which is typical in most restaurants. I had the tortilla soup then a plantain dish. Both were delicious. I cannot wait to come back!
