El Merkury at the Market

Awesome pupusas! Husband with Celiac ate here and felt fine afterwards. Definitely stop by if you’re interested in trying some delicious Guatemalan food.

The taquitos are gluten free and amazing. The lemon cucumber drink is super yummy. It's not too sweet or too sour.

This location uses the same sponge to handwash gluten/gf cooking equipment if that’s a concern for you. They offered to open a new sponge to make my food but I didn’t feel comfortable eating there.

Clueless about dietary restrictions. Asked specifically what GF items could come DF was told several and upon ordering them noticed there was absolutely cheese in them. Asked and yup, there was cheese. Proceed with serious caution.

A large portion of the menu was gluten free. The cashier assured me that my pupusas were safe for someone with an allergy. She also made a note on my order stating my gluten allergy which I saw on my receipt. The food was excellent and I didn’t have any adverse reaction afterward.

Checked with the cashier about GF options. Only a few marked on the menu. Pupusas are grilled alongside flour tortillas and the fryer is NOT GF. Basically the only true GF options are side salads.
