What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Albondigas soup (gluten-free)
- Rice (gluten-free)
- Enchiladas (gluten-free)
- Chips (gluten-free; prepared in a dedicated fryer)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Some accounts describe tortillas (corn vs. flour) and potential grilling on shared surfaces, which could introduce cross-contact if not carefully managed.
- Chips are repeatedly called out as being cooked in a dedicated fryer, reducing risk for chip-related cross-contact.
- Staff are noted as able to acknowledge allergies, which can help mitigate risk when ordering.
- One review reports that certain chips might not be gluten-free and that rice and some components could present risk; this contradicts other accounts, so proceed with individual questioning when ordering.
