🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Pupusas (gluten-free): The strongest explicit safe option. Multiple diners describe pupusas as gluten-free, with at least one account noting dedicated GF handling and, in some discussions, separate preparation from gluten-containing foods. This aligns with a clear GF focus for the core offerings.
  • Other GF items appear in secondary sources, but pupusas are the most clearly supported as GF in the collected information. If you’re planning beyond pupusas, consider confirming with staff about specific items beyond pupusas to avoid ambiguity.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • There is some conflicting historical guidance suggesting the kitchen may not have always operated as a fully GF facility. Recent feedback, including staff-referenced reliability and multiple customer reports, emphasizes GF dedication, but the past caution means a small cross-contamination risk could exist if non-GF items are prepared in shared spaces.
  • Pastries and some gluten-containing items were mentioned in older notes; while recent diners and safety signals are strong, it’s prudent to ask for confirmation about how gluten-free items are prepared (e.g., separate utensils, dedicated prep surfaces) to further minimize risk.
  • When you arrive, ask to confirm that pupusas (your GF choice) are prepared with separate equipment and surfaces from any gluten-containing items.
  • If you have especially sensitive celiac needs, consider calling ahead to discuss your dietary needs and any current kitchen practices.
