What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Crudites with salsa or guacamole (used as a safe alternative to chips)
- Corn tortillas (used as a gluten-free alternative to chips in several dishes)
- Gluten-free flan (dessert option reported as GF)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Chips and some fried items are fried in a shared fryer, which is a known cross-contamination risk for celiac diners.
- There is a GF menu, and staff are often knowledgeable, but not all items on the GF menu are guaranteed to be gluten-free.
- Some guests report that staff can adjust and communicate about gluten-free options, while others caution that in busy times there can be missteps.
- It’s wise to confirm fryer practices at the moment of order and consider substitutions like crudités or corn tortillas when in doubt.
