We popped into Somos right before closing time. The employees were very friendly and answered all questions. We had the arepas and cachapa. Both were delicious but we all liked the cachapa the best. Highly recommend this restaurant. Felt safe eating here.

This place is great! Everything but the tequenos is gf. The guy who assisted us was very knowledgeable. The arepa was so stuffed! So much food for a low price. My fiancé and I tried a chicken arepa, beef empanada, and cheese empanada. I preferred the beef, he preferredthe chicken, and we both loved the cheese empanada best of all. But all of it was great. Definitely a fan of the chipotle mayo too. No negative reactions. I wish we lived closer!

Delicious South American food,. You order at the counter, lots of options for fillings. Everything in the restaurant is gluten free except for one item (tequeños). A big hit with the kids too.

The arepas are so good. Trying to be quick, I ordered a random set of filings and it was delicious anyway.

I didn't ask about cross contamination but most of the food is naturally gluten free.
