I feel there is some risk eating here as a celiac and I got a more "gluten-friendly" vibe, simply from the fact that there's no separate menu or allergen statement. I didn't ask too many questions as it was a bit chaotic and loud. There is no gluten-free menu, but the server specified that some dishes were gluten-free. I did not check if they have a dedicated fryer, but I did not eat anything fried. I ordered the Ropa Vieja, which did come out in it's own mini-pan, so that made me more comfortable. Food tasted fine. If I were to eat there again, I'd ask a lot more questions to feel comfortable, but I'm sure some options might be relatively safe, such as mine.

Warning: i was just there last night and my waiter kindly informed me that the Gf Menu that is online is not real and they have no clue who put it up there. However they do serve a *few* options on the entrees list that are gf but not 100% positive that they are not contaminated... i got the pollo alla plancha and haven’t had a reaction!

I was really surprised with how many GF options they have on their menu! Mine was delicious and I had no reactions. The restaurant is just a fun environment as well

After ordering and beginning to eat two appetizers labeled gluten free on the menu, we learned that both items (tuna ceviche with fried plantain chips and a pork appetizer) were prepared in a fryer also used for wheat items. This was particularly frustrating, as the server had been made aware that a member of our party had celiac disease. While the menu has quite a few items labeled gluten free, the server informed us that only two entrees on the menu could be made celiac safe.

Delicious Cuban food and loads of gluten free options. It's byob but if you bring run or wine you can order a pitcher of fixings to make mojitos it sangria. Midweek evening include live jazz and flamenco. A great local treasure.

Food is good, but I keep getting sick after eating here even though they say they have a dedicated fryer.
