Review of El Merkury

2104 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19103

Overall Rating

Review


The vast majority of the menu is gluten free, and they are very knowledgeable about cross contamination. The only non-GF menu items are the churros, which are prepared in a separate fryer. The food is delicious and by personal experience celiac friendly. Pretty sensitive and have eaten here multiple times.
