La Playa Beach and Eats

La Playa has a dedicated gluten-free fryer and staff who are knowledgeable about coeliac needs. The menu is clearly marked with GF items, and multiple coeliac diners report no reactions. However, the kitchen is shared, and one incident of accidental gluten contamination in the fryer oil was caught by staff before serving. It's a high-care setup but not a dedicated facility.

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.
