What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Casado (rice, beans, plantains, salad, cheese) described by a diner as gluten-free.
- Arroz con Pollo (rice with chicken and a small green salad) with a server/chef confirming it was ok to be gluten-free after ensuring there was no soy sauce, Maggi, English sauce, or flour.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated to gluten-free prep, which implies potential cross-contamination risks.
- At least one diner noted the kitchen staff took extra care with a fish dish (salt-only preparation) to avoid gluten, but this is not a formal safety protocol.
- The absence of a dedicated GF menu and the lack of explicit, consistently verified cross-contamination controls mean elevated risk for someone with celiac disease, despite some positive anecdotal safety signals.
