Terraza Istmo

The menu clearly states which 3 items are not gluten free. As a vegetarian the only option for me was the cheese empanadas. I was glad to get a chance to try these, but share between two if you can because it's a lot of fried carbs and cheese. Nice rooftop terrace.

Their English menu says that everything on the menu is gluten free. Well, that is not the case. The mole negro has bread despite what the waiter told me .

The deserts are also not all gf either. So I would be very cautious eating here.

Update: I understand they have updated the menu with exceptions.

The menu (in Dec 2023) says everything is gluten free EXCEPT and lists the few exceptions. Not sure if a previous reviewer missed that, or the menu was corrected. I am just docking it one star because I wasn’t impressed with the food (and most food in Oaxaca is incredible) and felt it was overpriced.

The menu is not too long but EVERYTHING is gluten free! Service was also very nice and knowledgeable and the terrace is nice with tables in the shade. Also, I felt very good after this lunch. Recommended!
