🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Shrimp casado prepared as a GF-safe plate (staff confirmed the plate was prepared to avoid cross-contact, including ensuring plantains weren’t fried in a non-GF fryer). This is the only explicitly described safe-item in the collected evidence.
  • Other GF-friendly options are noted in guest discussions, but explicit dishes labeled as safe are not detailed beyond the GF-safe plate example.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • There is no dedicated gluten-free facility.
  • One guest reported finding bread on a salad, underscoring the need to communicate clearly and verify cross-contact handling with staff.
  • A prior review mentions the restaurant has gluten-free buns, suggesting GF menu items exist but not guaranteeing safety without careful confirmation.
  • The staff can be knowledgeable, and there is at least some evidence of GF-specific plate modifications, but cross-contact risk remains a consideration.
