Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

68%
Moderate

Santiago’s Bodega delivers a lively, welcoming tapas experience with a surprisingly robust gluten-free menu—think chicken skewers, patatas bravas, and even flourless chocolate cake—all clearly marked and often adaptable by request. While it’s not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, staff consistently show strong awareness of celiac needs, offering a separate gluten-free menu and taking extra care when allergy is mentioned (like baking potatoes instead of frying to avoid cross-contact). There have been rare hiccups in past years, but more recent feedback highlights knowledgeable servers and thoughtful accommodations—just be sure to communicate your needs clearly every time. It’s not celiac-easy-street, but if you’re used to asking questions and double-checking, you’ll find a community-focused spot that truly tries to make gluten-free guests feel at home.
