What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Arepas (gluten-free)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility: cross-contamination risk exists, and some patrons have reported safety concerns over time.
- Fryer usage varies in reports: some diners mention a dedicated gluten-free fryer, while others note the fryer is not exclusively GF. This inconsistency contributes to potential cross-contact risk.
- There are occasional negative reviews indicating illness or adverse reactions, attributed by patrons to cross-contact or marinade ingredients. A few diners emphasize that gluten-safe choices depend on how notes are followed in the kitchen, and that “treat it like you would any restaurant” caution remains prudent.
- Despite positive signals, the possibility of cross-contamination means careful communication with staff and explicit confirmation of ingredient and cooking practices remains important.
