Comes well recommended for Celiacs, but my son is anaphylactic not Celiac and had a reaction. Would not recommend for those with an anaphylactic wheat allergy.

We went to this location for dinner last night with our dog. Without a reservation, they seated us immediately. We had the patio to ourselves with the fire heat lamp. Our waitress was very friendly and alert when it came to our food allergies. The atmosphere is relaxed and away from the busy hustle streets we’ve been used to here in Costa Rica. I would recommend this location for sure! There are vegan and gluten free options.

Best Indian Food Ever. We noted the positive reviews for Avatar and decided to give it a shot. We love good Indian food, and this has got to be the best we've ever had. We opted for the Aloo Vonda as an appetizer. It's a lot like Pakoras, but made with potato. For mains we ordered their Avatar Special Paneer (cottage cheese with house sauce), and the Chicken Curry Hyderabadi (a nice spicy kick). The Paneer was outstanding. Probably our favorite Indian dish so far. I had the Cheese Naan, and they had a Gluten Free Naan option for my wife, which she thought was also excellent. The service was excellent, the pricing reasonable, and the atmosphere inviting. Free parking out front. Highly recommended! We may go back tomorrow.

Really awesome experience here. You need to message at least an hour in advance to make reservation. There is just one table in the restaurant and this really made the experience so special. It's clear how passionate these ladies are in providing an exceptional culinary experience sourced with high quality ingredients. It's 100% gluten free and we really enjoyed our pizzas.

I am Celiac and I frequent Hooligans for their gluten-friendly menu, but this is the one with the worst service, the waitress who served me was scattered... She didn't note, they brought us a Pepsi Black and a natural soft drink had been ordered... After a while she arrived with a guacamole that was for another table... I had to respectfully ask the girl if she had ordered what we ordered, to be honest and tell me what they were preparing and it wasn't... There was a strong renovation on the site but the details are not taken care of... I do not recommend this Hooligans! Zero complaints with the one from Moravia and Alajuela...
