Arepas De Lyna
The owner, Lyna, has celiac disease.
Per-allergen evidence
The owner, Lyna, has celiac disease. This was confirmed independently by a review from 8 years ago. Guisela173712 noted that the owner has extensive knowledge about keeping everything gluten-free. HugoMoucha, a symptomatic celiac, corroborated that the owner is a celiac and very careful about gluten-free safety. The Gluten Free Prague blog stated in 2017 that all ingredients used in the kitchen are gluten-free and safe for celiacs. Community safety reports mention a dedicated gluten-free fryer, dedicated kitchen space, other dedicated equipment, and staff who flag food and change gloves. Multiple verified-celiac reviewers have reported safe meals. The kitchen is not a 100% dedicated kitchen. Tequeños, which contain wheat, have been added to the menu. Empanadas are reportedly fried in shared oil with tequeños. Staff proactively warn about these cross-contamination items, including fried plantains and the shared fryer for empanadas. Alerting staff to celiac status on arrival is strongly advised.
