Everything was delicious! In addition to mostly all gluten-free options, there are lots of veg-friendly choices. I called ahead before ordering, and the person was very knowledgeable about celiac/allergies and cross contact. I felt comfortable ordering. The entire menu is gluten free except for the tequeños.

Delicious arepas with many condiments/fillings. I tried the beef with some of every vegetable, cheese and plantains. Enjoyed this “sandwich” for a late dinner. Shout out to the worker who had me wait a few minutes for fresh “bread”;it was worth the wait.

As others have stated, this appears to be very safe for celiacs with the tacquenos being the only gluten item and they say they keep it away from all the other dishes. They also have been knowledgeable about CD both times I've called. Items are not marked on their takeout/delivery online menu but they were very nice about taking our order over the phone. My guests had various bowls and I had the beef arepa. The food is delicious.
There are tables inside (and outside) but it is more of a takeout place. The ambiance is lacking.
