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.
