Bar Bacan

Had Venezuelan empanadas, they were great! The staff were clear about their gluten free food being prepared in a separate area of the kitchen, and only the GF food is fried. They even have a sign out front explaining they are gluten free friendly, have a separate frier, but cross contamination is still a risk. Highly recommend!

Lovely little Venezuelan restaurant with delicious food and fun atmosphere. Enjoyed arepas, empanadas, yuca fries, and dulce de leche cheesecake. Staff for friendly and confirmed questions about gluten free options. Options were clear on the menu and they noted they have a gluten free dedicated fryer.

Great food tho not dedicated gf. They are very gluten aware and the gf arepas and short ribs are terrific. The empanadas are not gf. Terrifically friendly staff, small intimate spot.

A great spot for delicious latin food! The majority of the menu is gluten free, just double check with the server before ordering. I love the arepas, plantains and yuca fries! The food is very flavourful and filling! I crave it all the time!

I was told « EVERYTHING at this restaurant is gluten free!! » by the waitress. Unfortunately she failed to know that the Argentinian empanadas were not, and I had quite the reaction. I called the restaurant the next day to ask and it was confirmed. The apologized and mentioned that they would train their staff better. Other than that mistake, the food was delicious, great arepas, Yucca fries, cheese sticks, etc. I will give this restaurant another chance.

Venezuelan street food - we had the arepa sandwiches and Venezuelan (the gf version of empanadas). Dedicated fryer for plaintain, cheese sticks, cassava sticks and doughnuts. We enjoyed our experience and food was great. Hubby is celiac and he did not have any issues. Empanadas are not GF but prepared in separate area and baked.
