🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Huevos Rancheros (gluten-free option listed on the gluten-free/menu resources)
  • Gluten-free bread or buns
  • Gluten-free desserts (noted in gluten-free menu discussions)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
  • There is no dedicated fryer or toaster in the kitchen, which raises cross-contact concerns for fried or toasted items.
  • A gluten-sensitive menu exists with cross-contamination warnings, and staff workflows typically involve a manager review for allergy orders.
  • Some items may be prepared using shared equipment, and while there are safeguards, a non-zero risk of cross-contact remains.
  • There is mention of gluten-free bread being available and possibly toasted in a broiler to avoid contact with regular bread, but overall risk persists due to shared kitchen processes.
