Arepas contain dairy! Be careful!

Guasaca recently changed their menu to include a "vegan" option for their arepas, in addition to their vegetarian option. I spoke with 2 staff members about vegan (and gluten free) options and neither mentioned that there is dairy in the arepa(bread) itself. I ended up getting really sick after eating it, because I also happen to be lactose-intolerant (and gluten intolerant too). I went to their website and saw that the allergen info states both gluten and dairy are in the arepas. I tried emailing multiple locations and facebook messaging the company, with no response for over a month now. I ended up posting a negative review on their facebook page, which their marketing team answered.

Apparently, they got so many complaints from gluten free/celiac people who got sick, that in mid-September 2019, they released a formal apology via social media. It stated that their staff was misinformed about allergens and everyone should go by the allergen information on the website, not by what the staff says. I asked their marketing team to inform them of the vegan issue as well.

That being said, if you still want to chance eating there, stick to the salads or rice bowls.

Pros: Excellent food

Cons: Staff doesn't know what Vegan means, "vegan" arepa contains dairy, Company is unresponsive to questions online

Salad, bowls, and arepas

My husband is Colombian and we absolutely love this place. We have been going to the different locations since 2013. You can order the veggie option but leave off the coleslaw and cheese. I usually order the salad with brown rice, black beans, onions, plantains, pico, and guacamole. It comes with a side of guasaca sauce. So delicious

FYI, the arepas contain dairy. Stick to the salads or rice bowls to keep it vegan.
