What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free enchiladas (staff indicated these were gluten-free)
- Gluten-free desserts (multiple gluten-free dessert options were noted, many vegan)
- Several items are described as gluten-free in reviews, but there is also a report from the past indicating some gluten-containing components (e.g., blue corn tortillas that may contain wheat). Because the restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, cross-contact is possible, and you should confirm any dish directly with staff before ordering.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which raises cross-contamination risk.
- At least one past account indicates that blue corn tortillas can contain wheat, underscoring the importance of asking about specific ingredients and preparation methods.
- Language barriers in some older experiences could affect accuracy of safety questions; staff generally appear knowledgeable about gluten-free options in several recent reports, but interpretations can vary.
