Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

60%
Moderate

Zócalo Food Park brings together a colorful mix of Milwaukee’s food vendors, and honestly, it’s a breath of fresh air for anyone who’s been sidelined at group outings because of gluten. The standout for celiacs is Anytime Arepa—a dedicated gluten-free vendor that folks in our community swear by, with repeat visits and no issues reported. While a few other trucks (like sushi and tacos) label gluten-free options on their menus, the overall park isn’t dedicated GF, so cross-contact is still a real possibility. If you’re vigilant and stick to trusted vendors (and don’t mind double-checking each time), Zócalo can be a rare spot where you and your gluten-eating friends can all actually enjoy the same table—just with a bit of extra caution.
