This open air Mexican-fusion restaurant is not to be missed if you are visiting Isla Mujeres. Dedicated gf prep area in kitchen, gf items marked on menu and great knowledge of staff. The food was absolutely delicious and very plentiful. We tried the ceviche, tacos and bowls.

Best meal we’ve had so far this trip! Found Lola Valentina here on TripAdvisor looking for gluten free options for lunch. My wife and I are both Celiac and were excited to find this place. Our servers Abraham and Luis were very attentive, even catching when the kitchen staff delivered a second bowl of tortilla chips that weren’t the GF version.

The menu is well marked for GF options which were plentiful. The guacamole was some of the best I’ve ever had. I ordered the fish tacos (grilled not breaded) for the entree and my wife had the hangar steak bowl. Both were exceptional.

If you need to eat gluten free, I highly recommend Lola Valentina. We would definitely eat here again.

I’d say half of the staff knew what Celiac was. All of them knew what items were marked gluten. The food was fantastic and I didn’t have any issues after eating there 5 times over two weeks. Had breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.

This place was amazing. Great drinks and delicious tacos that were stuff with fillings. My husband (Celiac) got the fish tacos (no breading) and raved about them. Service was excellent and it wasn’t too busy when we went (mid day on a weekday). We would definitely return! Felt very safe eating here.

Staying on Isla Mujeres for 3 days, ate here 3 times. I have celiac and one of our 3 teenagers is a vegetarian. The food was fantastic all three meals. Huge variety of Mexican cuisine, gourmet tasting but very reasonably priced. Can't say enough about the taste, variety and services.
