What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Explicitly GF items identified:
- Pupusas (reported GF by diners)
- Tacos (GF as noted by reviewers)
- Taquitos (GF per reviewer feedback)
- Soft tacos on corn tortillas (GF-cited in menu listings)
- ESPECIAL INTIPUCA, labeled gluten-free
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which introduces potential cross-contamination risk.
- Some menu items (like chips) are explicitly not GF, highlighting that gluten-containing ingredients may be present in the kitchen even as GF options exist.
- The strongest positive signals come from recent patrons who report staff knowledge about gluten allergies and safe-feeling experiences, but the lack of a dedicated facility means cross-contact precautions may not be absolute.
