Review of Yummy Pollo (Peruvian Charcoal Chicken)

The owner is very knowledgeable and trains his staff well. On my first visit, he talked to me for about 15 minutes about why he intentionally offers safe GF items. It's for his customers! He wants everyone to be able to enjoy his restaurant.

ALL the chicken is GF. Most of the sides are GF. They may have a GF desert option, but he told me it's tricky bc of cross contamination with the Peruvian pastries they offer. I didn't check last time bc I don't eat sweets. I have Celiac and have not been glutened there ever in over 3 years.

Orders are assembled along a line right in front of you. None of this is touched by hand. One person takes your order and cuts the chicken. That same person or a dedicated side dish person (when busy) assembles your plate. Separate spoons for every item.

The majority of side dishes are GF so there are lots of options. Yucca fries are one of my favorites. The only fried items are Steak Fries and Yucca Fries. No cross contamination possible in the frier.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?
