I’ve gone here many times and have never had an issue! Almost the entire menu is gluten free and advertised as such so I have little worries about cross contamination. Great to have somewhere safe to eat near campus with good food

I eat here often and have never had a problem. This has become one of my go-to spots for takeout. Most of the menu is gf, which means lots of options. My favorites are the empanadas, yuca fries, and the brisket arepa.

The food was so good it brought tears to my eyes. Practically everything was gluten free! My family enjoyed everything we got and are convinced the whole menu is amazing because we got one of every category.

Everything but the desserts is gf, and it sounds like those are kept in a separate area of the restaurant. Good food and large portion sizes, will likely go back again.

Everything is gluten-free except for one of their dessert items. I’ve eaten there a number of times without issue. Food is flavorful.

Amazing food, fast casual or to go. My girlfriend has celiac and has never had an issue the multiple times we’ve been. There is a larger location in south side with drinks if you’re looking for more of a sit down experience.

Definitely our go to when visiting our daughter with celiac. Everything is delicious and GF. This location is pretty much on the UPitt campus so really convenient but a fairly small seating area.
