According to the staff, they started adding “a little wheat flour” to some of their menu items (not marked, and share the same fryer). Now nothing’s safe. Took my celiac friend and realized too late, and we both got glutened. Shame on this establishment for pulling a stunt like this after building a reputation in the GF community, and all its “Gluten Free” marketing, signs, and wrappers.

Delicious food, probably the best empanadas I've had in Utah. The Arepas and fried yucca are both delicious too.

Everything here except for 2 things are gluten free too. The non-GF items are marked on the menu.

Both Arrempas locations are completely gluten free and delicious! I was able to eat fried food without a worry. I highly recommend the empanadas.

We did not get sick after eating here. The waiter didn’t speak great English so when we told him no gluten because of celiac, he just told us not to eat the empanadas because they’re fried and to him that’s not GF. He said everything was gluten free but the answer he gave us made us slightly nervous about his advice.

The staff were knowledgeable and helpful in ordering. Almost everything on the menu is gluten free and most can be made vegan. We tried the empenadas, arepas, and plantains. All of it was delicious and I can't wait to come back!

We came here for lunch as I tried the salt lake location back in April. It didn't disappoint the menu is a little bigger than salt lake and the food was just as fabulous. Great service, great food, great atmosphere. I will definitely be back when I am able.

I am slightly obsessed with this place. It's so good and everything is gluten free minus one item. I think I ate here every day for a week!

They don't cook gluten free items with the food that isn't. The empanadas are to kill for. They're my favorite.

I had a great experience here! Nearly the entire menu is gluten free, and the two items that contain gluten are prepared in a separate area. The server was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I ordered the pabellon arepa and it was delicious!

This is the newest location of the Venezuelan restaurant, Arempas. Most of their items are gluten free, and they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer! We got their Vegan Arepa with plantain and black beans, their side salad, and their patacón (type of fried plantain) with pulled pork. Everything was SO delicious. They were also very friendly and brought the food out fast. And I didn’t get sick after. 10/10 recommend.
