Everything about this restaurant is a 1000/10! The service was beyond amazing and the food was incredible. Felt so safe and taken care of here. Had no doubt at all! Highly recommend the churro sticky bun! Will be coming back here when I am in town.

So many things on this menu are celiac safe! I had a field day and tried a ton but can't wait to come back. They marked my spot at the table with a coaster to signify my gluten allergy. The waitress was very accommodating. I found the French toast to be ok, but not great. I want to try the dinner menu next time!

It was so good that I went 3 times on my trip. Everything on the menu is or can be made gluten free with a gluten free fryer. The staff were super knowledgeable and I did not get sick. Other than the safety, the food was good as well and I would definitely come back

So good we went here twice in one day. Had battered fried chicken and mashed potatoes, nachos, breakfast scramble, waffles, and cinnamon buns. Very very accommodating. All completely gluten and dairy free. Neither my son or I got sick and we are very very sensitive. Wish I lived closer- I’d eat there every day.

I just went there for brunch and it was amazing. Service was great and everything I ate was delicious. Even the fries are gluten free with no cross contamination in the fryer which was an amazing surprise, I was totally expecting them to say there was cross contamination. It seems like nearly every item on the menu is either gluten free or has a gluten free option! 10/10 would recommend.

Plenty of GF options for any time of day. Well worth a trip. They asked if anyone at the table had any food allergies. They don’t have the GF churros anymore, which I wanted to try, but they have a bunch of other GF desserts like sticky buns.

My server was new so not super knowledgeable but was able to get info from someone in the kitchen. Got a basic breakfast and french toast it was really good. I was so excited to try their hush puppies and they were great. Their fried pickles weren't my favorite but my husband liked them.

Evan was very knowledgeable. Food was delicious. We had a lot to choose from. We had chicken rice soup, chicken tenders, turkey burger, Mac and cheese, fries, chocolate moose and our favorite was the sticky buns.

The server was so helpful! I ordered GF pasta with marinara and told the server that I had a “severe gluten allergy” (I always say this instead of celiac) and I was given a red dot to put at my place. I also got a tea and mixed berry crumble. 10/10!

All the food I got was great! The waiter told me they cooked everything gf separately. I tested all three things I ordered (gf wrap, soup, sticky buns with no pecans) with my NIMA, and they were all safe. I didn’t have any symptoms.

A revelation! The pasta, French toast, and churros were soooo good. Most of the menu was gluten free or could be made so with substitutions. It was also terrific for folks with multiple restrictions because the vegan and nut free options were endless including when you were seeking out gluten free dishes like the glorious French toast.

This place is amazing and almost everything on the menu is 100% GF or can be made GF. We ate there twice for breakfast and they did not disappoint. The first day I had the GF chocolate chip pancakes and the were amazing and my partner had the GF cinnamon french toast. The second day I built my own egg breakfast with GF toast and rosemary potatos. I would highly recommend this place. They also had lots of GF dinner options.

I went to Hugo's for brunch this morning. My brother and I (both celiac) split avocado toast and cinnamon french toast. Both blew me away, they were so good. I can't believe I haven't been to Hugo's before and I will be back!

They had fried pickles!!! The waitress was extremely knowledgeable as soon as i mentioned celiac she knew. The whole menu is marked whether it can be made gf or whether it is prepared gf naturally. 95% of the menu could be made gf and our waitress mentioned all their cross contamination procedures. Did not get sick either and i am very sensitive

Almost all of the items on the menu are gluten free and all desserts are gluten free. No gluten items in the frier! Food was delicious. My teen daughter with Celiac was able to have gluten free churros for the first time in 8 years (since before diagnosis.) They also have lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Great experience all around, just wish we lived closer.

I love this place! They have so many gluten free foods, and almost always can make a dish that isn’t already gluten free gluten free. I’m fairly positive, for example, that all their desserts are gluten free, and they have such things as fried pickles that are gluten free. Everything is also just extremely delicious. I highly recommend!!

It was great to find Hugo’s, we’re a huge fan of Hugo’s Tacos and I’ve never had a reaction there. We had Hugo’s 3+ times via Postmates before I unfortunately had a reaction to their potatoes. Unsure if it was an issue with ordering delivery, but I got quite sick and paid the price.

All of their pasta can be made gluten free. If you tell them you have allergies they put a card on the table so everyone serving you knows. They take every precaution!

Review
I wish EVERY non-dedicated restaurant operated like Hugo’s. This place is so hassle free. GF items (and other dietary restrictions) are marked super clearly on the menu. So many naturally gluten free items (even the cornbread and french toast!!) and almost everything else can be modified to be GF. My sister is vegan and we have a hard time finding restaurants we can both eat at together so Hugo’s is our new go-to. I wish other restaurants would take notes!!!!

Review
Food is not that special, but they made me feel very comfortable -- waitress was very knowledgeable and asked questions of the chef when I needed confirmation of their procedures. Fried pickles!!
Review
They were extremely accommodating with my daughter who is a celiac. Great variety to the point we ate there three nights in a row.
Review
sooo yummy and the kitchen has special procedures to follow for celiac guests. super nice about it too.
Review
Fantastic the gluten free options are so good definitely recommend awesome place to eat
Review
I have a zillion food sensitivities and these folks really worked with me and were very cool about it. They also don't seem to over salt their food and drinks (like lattes) don't come sweetened. This is a place we dream of.
That said, I didn't end up looking their food much! I thought it was just the one thing I ordered (tacos) but I got the vegan Mac and cheese to go and that just tasted like smoke and the lentil pasta was tough. Granted I have a cold and that affects taste. Still 5 stars because it's really knowledgeable and patient and careful.
Review
Hugo’s was so great that we went twice on our week long trip to LA. The food is so good and we felt great after eating here. If I’m ever back in LA I will visit again.
Review
Good option for Celiacs and broad menu
Review
Great food, generous size latte, and LOTS of gluten feee options for breakfast lunch and dinner.
Review
This was the best place I ate on my trip to LA. Very knowledgeable about celiac and so many options to choose from. Even left with a bag of their gluten free cookies!
Review
Delicious food & great service! I had the French toast breakfast and it was so delicious that I returned that evening to try dinner. Everything is delicious and I did not get sick. I have Celiac & a milk allergy. I returned for dinner every evening while vacationing in L.A. The sticky buns are out of this world!
