Celiac Safety Score

50
Moderate Safety

Santa Catarina offers a variety of gluten-free options, including multiple taco varieties and tortilla chips, which are popular among diners. However, the establishment does not have dedicated gluten-free preparation areas, raising concerns about cross-contamination. The reported gluten-free menu items suggest a focus on traditional Oaxacan cuisine, but without explicit safety protocols mentioned, celiac diners should exercise caution. Overall, while there are gluten-free options available, the lack of dedicated facilities results in a moderate safety score.
