I returned with more family members who have celiac disease and were delighted to find that they could choose anything from the menu. My wife was particularly impressed with the chicken noodle soup. The pizza crust is fantastic and far superior to the typical gluten-free cracker crust you often find. The salsas are meant to be enjoyed with the empanadas. If you like a bit of spice, definitely go for the habanero salsa; it's flavorful without being excessively hot—though you can control the heat according to your preference. If you're a fan of avocado, don't miss the palta salsa—I found myself eating it with a fork straight from the container! The salsa criolla is also excellent, and the chimichurri has a delightful tang if you can handle the vinegar, which I suspect is quite traditional for Argentinian cuisine. My daughter was eager to try the wings, which she loved, and she paired them with fries that she and my wife quickly finished. As an American, you might find the desserts less sweet than what you're used to, but if you prefer healthier options, you'll likely be very satisfied. Even family members who typically skip dessert were pleased with what was offered. I've taken desserts to go a couple of times, and my family has thoroughly enjoyed them. There's still so much more to try here—plenty of options to explore that I haven't mentioned. Overall, everything is gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for those with dietary restrictions.
