What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Arepas (cornmeal-based fillings) – repeatedly highlighted as core GF items.
- Yucca fries – frequently cited as safe and a standout side.
- Chips with salsas – commonly safe and a reliable starter option.
- Mocktails – explicitly mentioned as gluten-free options in several notes.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- A small number of reports claim gluten may appear on certain menu items (e.g., sandwiches) or that gluten was introduced to the menu at some point. Some guests emphasize dedicated stations and careful handling, while others suggest checking in real-time about which items are truly GF on that visit.
- Like many gluten-free-focused spots, there is variability over time as menus shift. The safest approach is to confirm which items are currently gluten-free, ask about dedicated equipment or prep spaces for your selections, and alert staff to your celiac status so they can implement any needed safeguards (gloves change, separate prep areas, etc.).
