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.
