El Mono

So they had gluten-free items on the menu. For drinks there was so much variety- which I really loved. I normally never get to try fun drinks. However for the food the options were LACKING. The only meal/entree that was gluten free was the rice and beans. Which was really sad. But it’s because they use a lot of soy sauce here. I asked the waitress and she told me some other items that weren’t marked could be made gluten free, but I wanted to be safe so I ordered the rice and beans. It was AMAZING! So well seasoned and so tasty. Waitress marked my food down as allergy. Overall I felt decently safe, just was sad at lack of variety

I’ve eaten here before being diagnosed with celiac, happy to say I can still eat here. They’ve updated their menu to show GF options. I had the lomo saltado and Peruvian riced rice. Delicious

I’ve eaten here a couple of times, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was very good and will definitely be going back.

Got gluttened twice. I don’t the dedicated fryer is actually 100% gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

No

The food at this place is amazing. There aren't many Peruvian restaurants in the Bay Area and this one happens to have a lot of gluten free items on their menu. I had a chicken dish made with gluten free soy sauce. The fries were gluten free as they're made in a dedicated fryer. It's still good to ask though - they didn't make anything with flour that day, but I'm not sure if that's the case every day. The complimentary corn nuts they serve at the table are also gf, as well as their specialty Peruvian drinks (Miti Miti and Chicha Morada).
