As has been said numerous times, Tico's fully understands cross contamination and safety in regards to Celiac. The food is delicious on top of it! Great to see the non GF food marked on the menu once, as opposed to the opposite.

Food was delicious and really loved the Agua Frescas! I got the platanos and two different empanadas! Everything there is gluten free aside from a few things which are made separately. I felt incredibly safe here. 😌

When I mentioned I had celiac, they showed me which ones weren't gluten free, which wasn't much, just the teriyaki filling. They were mindful of cross contamination and used fresh ingredients! Everything was tasty. Don't miss out on the stuffed arepas, their repollo is so good.

I have celiac disease. I’m also very sensitive to contamination. All their foods are GF unless otherwise stated (teriyaki filling). Those are fried separately to maintain gluten free specific fryers. These are the best empanadas around. Homemade, handmade. You’ll never find better empanadas outside your friend’s grandmothers kitchen.

First off, the food is fantastic. I've never tried empanadas before eating here, but oof. So dang good!

Next, the people there are very well aware of gluten sensitivity and are prepared to help. The menu is largely gluten-free. Where it's not, it's clearly marked. The staff is more than happy to talk about any safety concerns you might have.

We had chicken and beef empanadas, French fries, rice and beans and every single thing was absolutely delicious. Not one mediocre item. As a nice change only a couple items on the menu were NOT gluten free leaving MANY options. Everyone was very friendly, I loved seeing the young kids working there who seemed to take their jobs very seriously. Absolutely will be back if I’m in town again.

GF empanadas! Absolutely delicious, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They are very aware of cross contamination and even mentioned that some of the GF sauces are made in a facility that also produces non GF products. Nice to hear they take cross contamination seriously. Worth the ride, for sure

This is our second time going to ticos, and we can happily say that these are the best empanadas you will ever have. My son has celiac and I am gluten free, and we love the freshness of every bite (Buffalo chicken empanadas were our favorite). Great place for the family to go, and the workers are very nice. Not dedicated gluten free, but only five things on the menu are made with gluten, and they are prepared in a separate location with a separate fryer. Very reasonably priced, and our new favorite restaurant. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE, ESPECIALLY CELIACS.

Empanadas were amazing and I would absolutely order here again!! Employee was super helpful over the phone about gluten free menu selection and ensuring no shared fryers. I also have a peanut/tree nut allergy and she checked to assure they didn't use peanut oil. 10/10 all around!! Their menu does not indicate items that are gluten-containing so definitely call to ask before ordering take-out or delivery.
