Very delicious, being all gluten free. The prices are not comfortable but it is understandable since the food is gluten-free.

We've been wanting to come here for years to eat fried chicken free of gluten and other allergens. Today we finally made it from La Fortuna, San Carlos. The chicken is spectacular, but the best part is the experience of being able to eat with peace of mind knowing we won't get sick. The prices are great. But you have to be careful because the portions are very large, so it's very easy to order much more food than necessary, although it's not a problem because you can always take it home 😆 Highly recommended for people with allergen problems. Thank you so much for the experience ❤️

One of my favorite options! You can tell that the ingredients are of good quality, great taste and freshness of the ingredients. It's practically the only restaurant I know where they offer fast food without it being greasy and upsetting to the stomach. I give them all the points for having a clearly marked ingredient bar. I have visited the place with friends who are intolerant to gluten or dairy and we have all been able to enjoy a pleasant time, which is hard to find! Highly recommended.

Excellent place. Best pizza you will find. So much parking if you need it, parking is also available along the street. The pizza oven is large enough to accommodate regular pizza and gluten free pizza even in the same oven! Great atmosphere and garden. Drinks are excellent. Highly recommend!

This place is a must-visit in Monteverde (even with the trek) don’t miss out!!! The food was INCREDIBLE!! It was also great because they were gluten-free friendly! We had the Senda Soup, Pork Chop, Beef Tenderloin and gluten free Churros for dessert and all of it was immaculate. We don’t have any notes, truly. 10/10 recommend for food alone, but on top of that, the service was incredible - very kind, funny and personable staff (Edwin was our server)! The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing and just all around great. The price is higher but it’s definitely worth it!
