I so enjoyed both the atmosphere and food at this dedicated gluten free restaurant! The arepas were delicious! I also indulged in flan for dessert.

Was only in town for 2 days and had lunch here both days! The entire menu is gluten free and everything was delicious. Servers are very friendly and great ambience/atmosphere. Not too expensive as well!

I was in New Orleans this past weekend and had the pleasure of having dinner here! I will say it was one of the best meals I have ever had. I felt very safe because the entire restaurant is gluten free!!

This place was great. We ordered an appetizer and arepas and they were tasty. The staff were great with allergies and informed us that everything on the menu was gluten free. I would definitely go back and nobody got sick after eating here. Go early or reserve table ahead of time because they get crowded even on a Tuesday night.

Such a great restaurant! The staff is super nice and the arepas are amazing! I recommend pairing your meal with one of their margaritas. I don't quite remember what flavor I got, but I believe it was passion fruit, since it was a really good mix of tart and sweet

100% gluten free and delicious! I'm celiac and ate here safely with my non-gf partner. We loved the appetizer (ceviche), drinks (sangria and something with pisco), and arepas (a cuban and a buena-something with chorizo and shrimp). Highly recommend all of it!

My daughter has celiac so we're always looking for good places to eat. We were able to order takeout, and it was delicious! We had a variety of dishes and they were all amazing.

They were closing early for the holiday but still very accommodating. We tried 3 different arepas and the street corn. Everything was tasty.

I have been to this restaurant 4 times and have enjoyed the atmosphere/food every time. The entire menu is gluten free. I also enjoyed a gluten free beer. I highly recommend for a place off the beaten path of New Orleans hustle and bustle.

Amazing Arepas! You will not be disappointed
Dedicated GF
Went here twice during a recent stay.
Everything is gluten free* and delicious. I also got the red sangria which was such a delicious drink, I wanted the recipe to make it at home.
*Always ask in case things change.
I also have issues with cilantro and the staff did a great job with modifying or directing me to avoid.
I had the Sampler, Choriarepa, and shared the Bandeja Paisa. The Tres Leches was also delicious.
If you are celiac and need a place to feel safe eating at, I highly recommend.

Absolutely DELICIOUS 😋 We've been here 3 times and like to try different things each time and everything We've tried has been delicious! We love the arepas with the chimichurri salsa. The elote is amazing! The tres leche and flan are wonderful as well. My husband decided he likes the tres leches better. The tre leches does have a different texture to it, but I still really liked it.

Wonderful experience. Asked server if items were in a separate fryer/gluten free safe area. They stated the entire menu is gluten free. The restaurant is 100% gluten free. The bar area has regular beer, etc, but be the kitchen is 100% gluten free facility. Hearts and bellies are happy!
**Always confirm with restaurant because protocols and menus may change.

We had such a delicious meal here! Casual vibe, friendly staff, delicious food. We went the night before Thanksgiving and it felt like they were a server short but overall service was good. I confirmed the entire menu was gluten free. If you are there for the arepas, know they are not dairy free. The empanadas on the starter menu were SO yummy.

Amazing! So happy to have found this place last minute. It was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Tender beef, the sauce was the chimichurri and so flavorful. Highly recommend this place !
Dedicated GF
Wow insanely delicious. Dedicated gluten free. Went with 3 other non gluten free people who could not stop raving about the arepas. Had all three desserts too- plantain ice cream, tres leches cake and passionfruit flan.
Dedicated GF
So glad we found this place! The food was delicious and the staff was great. Everything was gf and the chef had an appetizer special of fried chicken that we were able to try and it was soooo good.

Some of the best food I've had in New Orleans. I had the Pollo Griliao and everything about it was done perfectly and for the price it a lot of food. I thought it was going to be more expensive to go there.
Dedicated GF
Everything is GF, but not DF. DF options are the empanadas (only beef is offered, but they are delicious), salads, ceviche, and a couple entrees. None of the arepas are DF. I had the empanadas and shrimp ceviche which is quite spicy but good flavor. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Delicious guava mojito.

Was visiting family in New Orleans and saw this was one of the only dedicated gluten free restaurants in the city. I was craving a poboy and although an arepa is totally different the grilled shrimp with remoulade totally hit the mark. We had reservations and still had quite a wait (so don’t be in a rush if eating here). Would definitely come back next time I am in the area.

I LOVE MAÏS AREPA. I get the carne asada, and it is my favorite meal of all time. I order it every time I’m in town and eat the leftovers and never get sick of it. The appetizers are always so so good and always taste fresh. I love the limeade as well. I usually get arepas to take as leftovers/eat on the plane when I leave town.

Dedicated gluten free. The staff was super nice, but I wasn’t a big fan of the food. The wagyu by itself was good though. My mom and cousin thought the food was good. A bit pricey, one drink was the same as the food. Also, the salad was spicy, which was not expected

Fantastic street corn. The whole restaurant is gluten free, so I didn’t even have to ask about cross contamination or anything. It was so nice not having to worry. Best food I’ve eaten at a restaurant.

My daughter is Coeliac and rarely has the confidence to eat out. We have eaten here 3 times this week. The food is fresh, healthy and delicious and a complete change from the high calorie deep fried food on offer elsewhere in the city. We all loved it and it was a treat to be able to watch my daughter eat out with confidence. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. I only wish we lived closer…
