I highly recommend this spot to anyone! As they say, about 80% of the menu is naturally gluten free. Delicious food and knowledgeable, friendly staff!

Everything was delicious and so much of the menu is gluten free. Almost too many amazing options to choose from.

Their empanadas and plantains are not to be missed.

Everything on the menu is gluten free except for the buns for hamburgers and hot dogs. Our server was very knowledgeable about the food items and how they are prepared. The delish pina colada is made with coconut milk and real pineapple and had coconut sprinkles on top. I had the arepa ropa vieja with maduros (fried sweet plantains). It was very delicious and safe meal!

This was hands down the best meal I’ve had out in so long. The majority of the menu is GF and they use corn oil for frying! Yay for no soy. There were so many choices, the server was attentive and answered our questions. We will definitely be returning many times over.

This place is so delicious! Almost everything is gluten free, and I was told the gluten-containing items are prepared separately. I had a plate full of all kinds of Colombian-style meats, and arepas, red bean soup, rice and a fried egg. I also had one of their homemade juices. The server double-checked everything even though the menu is marked very well, and most importantly I didn’t get sick. Also, the music, location, decorations, and everything are incredible.

This place is amazing! The whole menu is GF except about 3 things: the tres leches cake, the Colombian hot dog, and the Colombian burger. It was so nice that GF items were the majority on the menu so for once I could decide what I wanted, instead of picking something out of a few options.

99.9% of the menu is GF! So nice to look at a menu and not think “what can we have”. Here you can say “what do I want? So much to choose from!”
