Rubens Arepas

Absolutely delicious arepas. Except for one item, the menu is completely gluten free (and that one item is cooked separately from all the other food). Super nice guy as well and good freshly made hot sauce.

We ate at Ruben’s twice in two days and loved it! Almost the whole menu is gluten free, so there are real options, and the three I tried are incredible. It’s a small place, but the owner-chef-manager knows about gluten and cooks his one gluten-containing item separate from the rest of the food. Great food. Amazing options. Ruben is kind and informed. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I eat here regularly and so far had never issues (except feeling quite full, the arepas are very filling). they have one thing on the menu that‘s not gluten free. I never asked if they use the same frying oil for everything but simply skip everything fried

I was ill after eating here. I don't think the food deliberately contained gluten because I'm not THAT bad but they definitely didn't take precautions with cross contamination.

Authentic? No idea, but very tasty. Freshly prepared and safe for celiacs. Good and safe recommendation for an original and tasty meal in between.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had in 17 years of being a coeliac. Reasonably priced and quite filling. My non coeliac friends agreed that it was the nicest thing we’ve eaten in Berlin. Also enjoyed a home made lemonade drink that was so delicious and refreshing. Friendly staff and a cosy little takeaway shop. Utterly delicious.

Super tasty, knowledgeable staff. NOT everything is gluten-free, the Tequeños are NOT. But they are prepared separately.

Amazing arepas, super tasty and absolutely safe for coeliacs. No gluten in the ingredients and the staff are reassuring. Worth the trip, especially if you're around the East Wall Gallery. Amazing!

We asked one of the cooks and they said everything they offer is gluten free. We had arepas, they were good. They have beer but it's not gluten-free. Both takeout and deliver are available.
