🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • 1905 Salad (widely cited as a safe, GF option when prepared to spec)
  • Spanish Bean Soup (GF)
  • Cuban Black Bean Soup (GF)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a real concern in some scenarios.
  • Shared cooking surfaces or fryers are mentioned in some negative experiences, including plantains fried in a shared fryer.
  • There are reports of miscommunication or mislabeling (including instances where GF items were not clearly marked or were mishandled at the table), leading to gluten exposure.
  • While many diners report safe experiences with the gluten-free/allergen menu, the presence of recent glutenings means safety cannot be assumed and requires proactive, ongoing vigilance (clear questions to staff, explicit allergy instructions, and confirmation of GF prep).
