✅ Reported safe options

- Cuban Black Bean Soup

- Note: These items are explicitly supported as gluten-free in portions of the collected information and related menu descriptions.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not a dedicated gluten-free environment, so cross-contact risks exist.
- Reported issues include plantains or other items being fried in shared fryers, and occasional miscommunications leading to GF items not being prepared or served as intended.
- A few recent reviews describe gluten exposure despite requesting GF options, underscoring that careful, proactive kitchen communication is essential at this location.
- While staff knowledge is frequently praised, the variability in experiences suggests that safety cannot be assumed solely from general reputation or menu labeling.
