A note about Gluten-Free...

Salvadoran cuisine includes many dishes that are naturally gluten-free. We generally do not use wheat flour in our kitchen, but we don't monitor for hidden gluten in the ingredients we use, so for that reason we cannot guarantee a GF environment. Our fryer is used exclusively for plantain and yuca. Here are a few items from our menu that are naturally GF:

  • Pupusas are made using corn or rice flour. Chicharrón is seasoned but Frijoles and Queso are not. However, we do have GF clients who order all types of pupusas;
  • Plantain with Crema Dip or Queso, and Refried Beans;
  • Yuca Frita;
  • Tostada con Frijoles;
  • House-made Drinks: Tamarindo, Chan, Marañon, and Horchata;
  • Salvadoran Quesadilla, a cheesecake-poundcake fusion, is made in-house with rice flour.


If there's a specific dish you'd like to enquire about, please ask!
