What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free tamales (corn-based masa) as described by diners.
- Chicken and tomatillo tamal, which a diner explicitly ordered and ate without issue.
- General note: masa-based tamales in this setting are described as naturally gluten-free by some staff and diners, but there is at least some suggestion of possible gluten concern in masa or sauces in other accounts. Always confirm with staff about each item and potential thickeners or sauces.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business is not listed as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is potential for cross-contact in shared equipment or ingredients.
- There is at least one review that flagged the possibility of gluten in masa or a miscommunication about gluten content, highlighting the need for explicit staff confirmation and careful handling of gluten-containing components (like sauces or moles).
- If you are celiac, consider asking to see ingredients for each tamal and sauces, and request that your needs be clearly communicated to the kitchen before ordering.
