Planning A Trip To Mexico City But Wondering If There Are Any Restaurants Here With Organic, Clean, Allergy Friendly, Or Healthy Food?

Mexico City is one of my favorite places to visit (I’ve been many times), because I love the history, the sports, and the food here, which is surprisingly cheap, delicious, and sometimes healthy/organic. I know traveling with food allergies or a clean/healthy lifestyle can be a bit difficult (I’ve been doing it for 9+ years now), but I’ve always had an amazing time in Mexico City and been able to find plenty of places to eat here!

🌮 Restaurants With Healthy-ish Food In Mexico City

Like the US, it can be a bit harder to find healthy food in Mexico, but I’ve found a decent amount of healthier options in Mexico City with a good variety of cuisines.

Most healthy restaurant options are in the Polanco, Condesa, Roma, and Coyoacán neighborhoods (the best + safest places to stay) of Mexico City, but I separated them by Organic, Gluten Free, and Vegan food, although some do fit into more than one category.

Top Healthy Gluten Free Restaurants In Mexico City

Along with healthy food, there are quite a few restaurants and many bakeries that serve gluten free food in Mexico City.

With a heavy corn based cuisine, it’s fairly easy to find gluten free food in Mexico City, but it’s not always celiac-friendly or super healthy at just any restaurant. I’ve eaten at quite a few of these restaurants since I don’t do gluten and I haven’t had any issues, but I’m not celiac.

CDMX has a few restaurants that are strictly vegan.

Mexico City is a pretty vegan friendly city, and while not every restaurant will have vegan options, there are plenty of strictly vegan and plant based restaurants around the city.
