Excellent Latino restaurant with gluten-free options. Thank you, we will definitely come back!

I would eat here again! I wish there were a few more options for those with gluten allergies, but I was happy with what I got. Yukka fries my partner got as an appetizer were nice and hot, the ones that came with my meal were lukewarm. It would have been nice to mention it to my server for quality control info, but they never stopped by, and I had to get up and find someone so I could pay our bill. These are small things that a manager should know, but they won't stop me from going back. I was really happy to be able to actually eat plantains in a restaurant- it's so rare for them to be made celiac-safe. I also would have loved a pork or beef version of gluten-free empinada- maybe they will have one someday.

I was just diagnosed with Celiac and looking for a place in Toronto that takes celiac seriously and doesn’t cross contaminate. Normally it’s hard to find places that taste good and do this, but I was so happy to find this spot! The food was unreal and Sandra explained the menu and was such a great server. Highly recommend!
