What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Cilantro rice (noted as a safe substitute for regular Spanish rice in at least one guest account).
- Gluten-free chips provided with separate salsa when requested (GF chips are available via staff request).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists compared to a fully GF-certified venue.
- Mitigations include a gluten-free menu, a separate fryer for GF chips, and staff who are described as knowledgeable about celiac safety.
- Regular chips are not gluten-free; confirm fry oil and shared equipment at ordering.
- Some dishes rely on tortillas and sauces that may contain gluten depending on preparation, so it’s important to specify gluten-free preparation and confirm current practices with the kitchen for your specific order.
