Balcón del Zócalo dazzles with its inventive, seasonal Mexican cuisine, but celiacs should approach with measured caution. There’s no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or written cross-contamination protocols, yet the chef and staff have a clear awareness of gluten issues and are willing to guide you through naturally gluten-free options—think tacos on corn tortillas, vibrant soups, and even custom desserts. The kitchen’s flexibility and knowledge are a real comfort, but since gluten is present throughout the menu (hello, house-baked breads and pastry-laden brunches), it’s essential to communicate your needs explicitly and confirm safe prep every time. Honestly, if you crave a special meal with a killer view and you’re used to navigating non-dedicated kitchens, this spot delivers—but it’s not for those who require ironclad celiac-level safeguards.
