Pica Pica Arepa Kitchen

The venue operates a 100% gluten-free kitchen. Its core ingredients (corn, plantains, taro, yuca) are naturally gluten-free, and no gluten-containing ingredients are kept on the premises. Periodic lab testing at Bia Diagnostica Labs and NIMA in 2015 and 2019 confirms the absence of gluten. The venue markets itself explicitly as "100% Gluten Free" with a dedicated section on its website.
