Per-allergen evidence

Coeliac · Gluten-free

A
confidence 70%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

Lo de Carlitos has many branches in Buenos Aires. The official website shows a celiac-friendly menu and allergy icons, while multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviews across branches mention dedicated fryers, dedicated kitchen space, knowledgeable staff, and a separate gluten-free menu. But the kitchen isn't fully gluten-free. However, one review from the Juramento branch reports receiving a gluten-containing burger which caused a severe reaction, and the venue is not certified by any recognised accreditation body. The chain has good awareness but inconsistent execution. Given the serious incident on record and the fact that execution varies across branches, the chain warrants a Tier C classification which includes a marked menu and dedicated equipment rather than a higher tier.

Honest caveat: One reviewer on the Juramento branch reported receiving a gluten-containing burger, causing a severe reaction.

Vegan

B
confidence 60%

HappyCow lists Lo de Carlitos as having vegan options, with several clearly labeled vegan crepes and burgers, and staff willing to modify items. A vegan reviewer confirms some savory crepes are fully vegan and tofu can be added. But meat is also served. The vegan options are a subset of a mixed menu, with no dedicated vegan kitchen or fryer, and cross-contamination is possible. Tier D reflects a marked menu with shared preparation. The official menu images could not be parsed for vegan markings.

marked menu

Vegetarian

B
confidence 50%

The restaurant operates as a fast-food style establishment. It offers burgers, crepes, and sandwiches. Vegetarian options such as veggie burgers and cheese crepes likely exist, but no specific vegetarian menu or accommodations are noted. The venue lists 'Lacto, Ovo' options. Based on the general menu and the lack of specific evidence, Tier D is a conservative estimate.

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
