Manuel Antonio Falafel Bar

The food here was absolutely delicious! So fresh, made exactly how I ordered it! Unfortunately, both myself, and my friend who also has celiac disease got extremely sick. Tons and tons of cross contamination, even when we ordered very carefully. We were so sad, because the food was so tasty!

Delicious food! I had the falafel platter (comes with fries and hummus). Informed staff that I needed my food gluten free and they wrote this specifically on the order and told the kitchen. They also confirmed it when they gave me my food. The staff bring out complimentary pitta chips while you wait (these are not gluten free). Highly recommend this place - great food and service :)

The food here was good and the staff was pretty knowledgeable. They have a separate fryer for the gluten free options (falafel & fries) and the schnitzel so it is not contaminated. The free appetizer had gluten in it so they brought me extra fries, which was really nice. There were limited options but the falafel plate was quite good. The kitchen is small but seemed to be well organized and I had no reaction.

Great staff, very knowledgeable about gluten allergy/intolerance, and amazing food! I got a kabob plate, with amazing French fries, and a great selection of greens to the right of the cashier. All around great place, and would love to be back!

Incredible food and a must visit! Lots on the menu can be made gluten free. I had the schwarma platter which was humous, potato wedges/thinly cut slices fried and shredded chicken. There is a salad bar that you help yourself to. Very filing and staff very knowledgable and friendly

Ich hatte einen Falafel-Teller mit Hummus und Salat (ohne Brot). Es war sehr lecker und ich habe es gut vertragen. Die gf Optionen sind auf dem Menü markiert.

Excellent fresh vegan foods with gf options. The salad items you add yourself and the falafel is gf and amazing. 7 also had a coconut ball which wasn’t marked as gf but it tasted like gf macaroon. The smoothies are excellent too.

Nice friendly staff. Delicious food. Not that many GF choices on menu but what they offer is very very good!

It's surprisingly difficult to eat GF in Manuel Antonio- Quepos. However, I heard about Filafel's GF menu and needed to give it a try. They have the most delicious meals that are GF and safe for Celiacs! I had the falafel plate, but my friend had the chicken plate and said it was delicious too. Hearty portions and very conscious of gluten-free. Definitely recommend!!

Very good GF menu.
