🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Ropa Vieja or Masitas — gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free (explicitly labeled as such in menu mentions)
  • Slow roasted pork (Lechon) — gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free
  • Olive oil and vinegar dressing for salads — cited as a safe dressing option by a diner

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility (the dedicated_gluten_free flag is false in the records).
  • While there are positive recent notes (including a dedicated fryer for some items), other reviews indicate the GF status is not guaranteed for every dish. The safety signal is strong in some respects but remains imperfect due to lack of full dedication and mixed anecdotes over time.
  • If cross-contact is a major concern, it’s wise to ask about current kitchen practices (e.g., fryer usage, separate utensils/gloves) at the time of ordering.
