What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Arepas (gluten-free): explicitly identified as gluten-free in multiple recent accounts; all arepas are described as GF, offering a broad variety of fillings.
- Important caution: arepas served as sandwiches are not gluten-free, so they should be avoided by someone strictly avoiding gluten.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which introduces potential cross-contamination risk if separate GF prep space isn’t available.
- Several diners reference a small kitchen, which can raise concerns about cross-contact during peak times or with shared prep surfaces.
- Some feedback points to cross-contamination protocols when allergy notes are communicated, but others caution that not all menu items or practices are GF-only (e.g., GF arepas vs. non-GF arepas used for sandwiches).
