Delicious and safe for celiac‘s. A popular spot, unique and fun. Highly recommended, will be back for sure. We had the combo pupusas that had rice, beans, guacamole and plantains. We has one with pork, and one with beef - both delicious. They told us all of their pupusas are GF!

Close to 100% gluten free! The only items with gluten are cookies that are not made in the facility and are kept in a case by the cashier. The pupusas are awesome, authentic, and cheap.

I've eaten here many times and not gotten sick. The pupusas are corn based and the sides (hot sauce and pickled cabbage) are also GF.

I've eaten here about 5 times, never had a reaction. I always get some pupusas, top them with the slaw and salsa. Quite tasty. I've also had the dessert plantain dish, very good as well.

The woman I talked to when ordering said she hasn’t had anyone with gluten intolerance have issues with the food here. The pupusas are corn based, and she also confirmed there is no flour used in the kitchen, so chances of cross contamination seem low. I ordered two beef pupusas and did not get sick, and they were seriously so delicious. Really happy to know this place is GF.

According to the server I spoke with yesterday, everything prepared in the kitchen here is gluten free. They had a case of cookies next to the register but when I asked he said that those are made elsewhere. I'm a silent celiac, but I felt very comfortable eating pupusas here after grilling the server. The food was delicious. Next time I want a cheaper, simpler, greasier alternative to Pica Pica, this is where I'm eating.
