I went to el Hornito because I saw it on here. I asked about the gluten free options and the waiter was very good informed and could tell me, wich fillings for the empanadas I could choose or not. There were also vegan / vegetarian options, which I was very happy about. He also said, that he couldn’t guarantee no cross contamination, so be careful about that. (I did not get any symptoms) The GF food for me, aswell as the “normal” Pizza and empanada for my family was very delicious. Would defo recommend going there, also because of the atmosphere!!

Empanadas sans gluten ! Items sans gluten marqués sur le menu. Je ne sais pas exactement comment ils séparent la confection des empanadas avec et sans gluten, je suis toujours suspicieuse car facilement malade, mais je n’ai eu aucun soucis ! C’était très bon et avec du choix ! C’est chouette de pouvoir manger des empanadas ! C’est super rare pour nous ! Par contre jus de fruits et limonades pas terribles, mieux vaut prendre de l’eau ou un soda. Très bonne adresse pour un snack à côté de la plage :)

All the empanadas can be gluten free and they were really delicious. I wish I could go back a million times! Staff was really nice too. They told me they are also working on a gluten free pizza for the future.
