Review of Hola Havana Cuban Restaurant

I was excited to try this new Cuban restaurant. They had been touting their gluten-free dishes on Facebook. All gluten-free items were clearly marked on the menu, and there were more gluten-free options than not available. I messaged them to ask if there was a dedicated fryer and if necessary precautions are taken to prevent gluten cross contamination in their kitchen. I was assured that they did have a gluten-free, dedicated fryer and that their kitchen staff were aware of precautions to prevent cross contamination. Fortunately, I was armed with my Nima sensor. I tested a portion of all the dishes we ordered including the Cuban guacamole, Cuban Tamal, and Cuban Nachos, and the sensor detected gluten. I realize the Nima sensor is not 100%, and those with only a gluten sensitivity may be able to tolerate small amounts of gluten, but I would not recommend this place for celiacs.
