Picando Arepas - Gluten Free

The kitchen is essentially 100% gluten-free: all arepas, fillings, desserts, and cakes are made with gluten-free ingredients. The only gluten-containing items (tequeños, tekechapas) are prepared off-site in a separate kitchen and fried in a dedicated fryer. Multiple coeliac diners report zero reactions across repeated visits. The owner has a family member who needs to eat gluten-free, providing insider-led motivation. The venue's name includes 'Gluten Free' and the Uber Eats menu explicitly marks items as 'Sin gluten' or 'Contiene Gluten'.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

The menu includes a specific 'Arepa Vegana' item and the venue is listed as having 'Good vegan options' on FindMeGlutenFree. However, there is no dedicated vegan kitchen or fryer, and the menu is not marked for vegan items. Staff can accommodate on request.
