I’ve ordered from here twice with no issues. Everything is delicious, especially the roasted cauliflower.

I unfortunately think I got glutened here in early December. I’m a new celiac so still figuring things out, but I felt really bad within an hour of eating (exhausted/stomach pain/palpitations). Still learning as well but think my sensitivity is pretty strong. I probably could have done a better job discussing my needs with staff. I had the chicken and cauliflower tacos, and beans and rice.

The staff were so very helpful as we decided what to order. Every single thing we got had amazing flavor and made my body feel happy! The deep fried shrimp were a treat and the plantains are like none other. It is all gluten free. Eat here, you won’t be sorry!

The food here is great! I’ve used a NIMA gluten sensor on the food a number of times and it’s always come back gluten free so far. Lots of dairy free options!

A great and easy takeout dinner for celiacs! We also love how the chicken is antibiotic-free and free range!

Ordered from here for the first time and was skeptical that it would be safe given that there's no info to be found online indicating that they're dedicated GF, other than in this app. I put notes on every item I ordered asking them to cancel the order if no longer dedicated GF, due to "allergy" (celiac, but restaurants tend to "get it" and take it more seriously when I say allergy). After eating these leftovers for 3 days in a row, I can confirm I am pleasantly surprised and excited to have a new place to safely order from!

Here's where the food shines and where it doesn't: ✓ Carnitas tacos and Chili plantains are a must! ✓ Rotisserie chicken is great too. - Rice and beans were dry and bland but were easily fixed up by reheating in a pan with some chicken broth, pressed garlic, lime, and cilantro. - Not impressed with the cauliflower, but my roommate liked it. × Skip the tinga tacos. I have no idea how the rotisserie chicken is so good but these tacos are... not.

They threw in a bunch of freebies with my order too, like extra tacos and extra rice and beans on top of what I ordered. Not sure if that's typical or if I ordered close to closing time and they just needed to get rid of it.

Will definitely be ordering from here more often, but will keep adding notes to my order about needing GF, in case they change any ingredients. I'd feel more confident if their website or social media indicated that they're dedicated GF on purpose!

Food was safe and I appreciate that they have a GF fryer. It was a treat to eat safe plantains that I didn’t have to make myself. If you’re looking for a safe, cheap meal in Park Slope, this is a solid option.
