What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Almond encrusted grouper (explicitly described as safe in at least one recent review)
- Almond grouper (mentioned as a safe option in another recent account)
- Shrimp dip with corn tortillas, with tortillas fried in fresh oil to support safer preparation
- Gluten-free desserts are available, with guests noting GF dessert options
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination is a possibility if care isn’t taken with preparation surfaces and shared fryers/grills.
- There are historical reports from years past describing cross-contamination concerns, including instances where grill usage or other practices could affect gluten exposure. However, many recent diners describe staff as knowledgeable and proactive about gluten and cross-contamination, with menu items clearly marked or discussed with the chef when needed.
- Given the variability in experiences, diners with celiac disease should clearly communicate their needs, verify the current preparation methods with staff, and consider choosing dishes that have explicit safe-guarding measures (e.g., those prepared with dedicated practices or fresh oils).
