🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Arepas (gluten-free): All arepas are described as gluten-free by patrons, with ongoing notes from the owner about gluten-free preparation.
  • Pandebono with Guava (gluten-free Colombian cheese bread): Explicitly labeled as gluten-free on the menu materials.
  • Gluten-free fried empanadas: Advertised as gluten-free and offered in promotions (e.g., “3 fried gluten-free empanadas”).
  • Note: The evidence includes customer reports and menu items labeled gluten-free; there is no claim of a fully dedicated gluten-free facility.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Facility status: The business is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility.
  • Cross-contact uncertainty: While there are positive statements from staff and patrons about gluten-free practices, there is no formal confirmation that all cooking processes are isolated from gluten-containing items. Some diners report assurances about no gluten touching the kitchen or fryer, but this is not guaranteed across all meals or days.
  • Cooking equipment: There are references to fryers and cooking practices, with at least some reports indicating gluten-free items are prepared separately; however, the absence of a dedicated facility means residual risk cannot be completely ruled out.
