Has anyone visited Playa Del Carmen Cancun?

Does anyone have recommendations on gluten-free restaurants in Cancun or Playa del Carmen?

• Answer:

  I have an allergy to Gluten and I own a Condo in Playa del Carmen. There are no gluten-free menus in Mexico But, I find it very easy to eat in Mexico because corn is their primary grain instead of wheat. Nearly all of the chips provided in the restaurants are corn tortillas and of course the Guacamole and pico de Gallo are both gluten free. I usually order fresh fish (grouper is my favorite) with rice and vegetables. But Fajitas (without the tortilla) is also a good choice. I also have a severe allergy to shellfish, so that limits my choices even more. If you eat primarily on Fifth Avenue in Playa and go to the better restaurants you won't have a problem. If you are not spanish speaking, use this phrase, "Soy alérgico al trigo, la harina y el gluten." It means, I am allergic to wheat, flour and gluten. I hope you enjoy your stay!
