⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contact risk exists in theory, so confirm specifics with staff, especially for items that historically may contain gluten.
- Some items (such as certain tacos, churos, and the crispy fish mentioned in older feedback) may carry gluten depending on preparation or components. When in doubt, ask for gluten-free preparation details and the GF menu.
