When basic is best it is as expected. Seasoned grilled chicken and various sides. It's all that is needed. The sides are small so to share, get a variety. Most of the dishes are gluten free, so you can take your pick. For 3, we had a whole chicken with the 2 sides as a combo and 3 more for choice. There were leftovers. The guys were great in helping me select and avoid the gluten. When in the area, I'll go again.

Eaten here many times without issue. Make sure to check their allergens list before ordering. Most items gluten free but a few, like black beans, are not

I've eaten here 3 times without issue. The fries, yucca, chicken, and green beans are safe. So are the green and yellow sauces.

Black beans and fried rice aren't GF, according to staff (shout out to Diego for warning me).

Never had Peruvian food... it was DELICIOUS!! the guy who took my order at the front had a list of ingredients. Most items are GF! They were able to hold the onions and sauce on the chicken saltado since i am sensitive to onions too. Tasty!! The purple drink was nice.

So many choices for gluten free options! The only things that are not gluten free from the main menu options are the black beans and the soup. The chicken is delicious and is free of all major allergens. Lots of sides including fun choices like yuca and plantains for the adventurous and fries for the more conventional. Everything was fresh, hot, and tasty!

I have food allergies, not celiac. Common food allergens list posted inside. I had white chicken without any sauces, sweet plantains, and yucca fries - all gluten free. Very yummy! When I first asked about food allergies, the worker I spoke to asked someone else just to make sure. That person came back while I was ordering just to make sure I saw the food allergy list and restated what I could and could not eat. Later, somebody came out to check on me while we were eating.

Absolutely delicious chicken and sides. Chicken is free from all of the top 10 allergens. Most of the sides are vegan. The only side that isn't GF is the beans (they use barley in the stock to make them). Rice, plaintains, yucca and the BEST green beans ever are all completely gluten free.
