EVERYTHING IS GLUTEN FREE! Our food was simply amazing. This was a total strike of luck coming across this restaurant. The people were friendly. The food was soooo good, the prices were beyond fair for the portion sizes. I can not say enough about this. Go! Try it. You will not be disappointed!

This place is awesome, my daughter has Celiac so we are always looking for places to eat. The food was so good and everything is GF. We ate and had to order more just so we could try everything on menu. And nothing disappointed. Make sure to go at the beginning of vacation because you'll be sad if you can't keep going back. The owners great to talk to and very knowledgeable about GF. And even recommended another great GF place. Daughter was so happy and confident of a good food experience.

A hidden gem 💎. Husband is celiacs so Gluten-free is a must without the risk of cross contamination. Everything was GF and staff was amazing. It was nice to experience different food as well. Will visit again when we are in the area.

Amazing food! I'm sad we just found it on our last day. Meat is incredibly tender, and everything is gluten free! They have Tequeños for the kids, which is a Venezuelan version of mozzarella sticks. It was a relief to order anything I wanted and know it was gluten free.

Update Nov 23: They make gluten containing food items in their kitchen using wheat flour. They still claim 100% GF even though they clearly aren’t. Eat at your own risk.

The arepas are super good! I’ve been eating here since before they opened a storefront back when they were only at farmers markets. I’m weary to try anything besides the arepas as they’ve always had a 100% gluten free sign at their restaurant yet had a menu item for several months that contained whole wheat! They also circle out desserts such as cakes that seem to contain gluten although I haven’t asked.

Wow! This is such a gem. We came here after the 10/fold biscuit shop ran out of gluten free biscuits and honestly I’m so glad they did. We tried it based off the reviews here.

Everything is gluten free that they make fresh. It’s so tasty. We will absolutely be back. If you can have dairy don’t sleep on the cheese sticks! They also have vegan options!

I found this place using the Find me Gluten Free App. The GF cheese taquerias were made to perfection, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The beef empanadas were delicious. Very flavorful. Quick order. Clean.

We love that the whole kitchen is certified gluten free! We tried the Queen Arepa (shredded chicken, Mayo, avocado). This was more like creamy chicken salad than we were expecting, but good!! We also had the Pabellon (beef brisket, sweet plantains, black beans). The flavor of the beef was so good and would highly recommend it!!
