By far my favorite restaurant in the Boston area. Everything is beautifully served and tastes like home cooking.

Gf items marked on the menu but things will be marked gf that are fried in a shared fryer. Fortunately the person who took my order was very kind and knowledgeable- I let him know I had a gluten allergy and he asked about severity and if cross contact was ok. When I said no (Celiac) he let me know the arepa I ordered had plantains in it that were fried in a shared fryer. I had a plain cheese arepa and chia pudding and didn’t get sick!

Always have had a great experience here. Amazing South American food with gf items marked on the menu. Food does take a while to get cooked but for sure worth the wait.

Excellent gluten free food. Yes, stay away from the Yuka fries, but everything else is great. Try the flan, gluten free and delicious.just beware as always. The carne asada is wonderful, smoothies great too.

Great breakfast, lots of dishes marked as GF. But, skipped the yucca fries based on the advice of another review. The woman at the counter didn’t seem super knowledgeable and said everything on the menu labeled GF should be fine, but some of the GF items did include the yucca fries.

arepas was delicious and carefully handled. Sadly had to pass on the yucca fries because of the shared fryer.
