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).
