Food menu
Allergens & Dietary Information
We want everyone to be able to enjoy the CHECA experience. Our menu is designed as a journey, from snacks and bites, through ceviches and tiraditos, to warm dishes and something sweet.
There are usually dishes or adaptations that can work for different dietary requirements throughout the meal. Tell us what you need to avoid and our team will help you navigate the menu.
If you have an allergy or intolerance, please always tell our team before ordering. All our dishes are prepared in one kitchen where multiple allergens are handled, so cross-contact can occur and we cannot guarantee that any dish is completely free from an allergen.
We have one fryer. Everything fried shares the same oil as our beer marinated pork (gluten from barley) and our fried fish. Fried and crispy items are therefore not suitable for coeliacs and can contain traces of fish.
Finding your way through the menu
CHECA is best experienced as a progression rather than around one single dish. Start with something small for the table, continue with a ceviche or tiradito, then move into one of our warm dishes.
If you have a dietary requirement, there are usually choices or possible adaptations within the different parts of the menu. Let our team know what you need to avoid and we will help you build the best experience possible.
Common dietary questions
Gluten
Several dishes do not contain gluten as part of their main recipe, and some dishes can be adapted. However, CHECA uses one shared fryer. Fried and crispy items may therefore come into contact with gluten from other dishes and are not suitable for coeliacs.
Please tell our team if you need to avoid gluten so we can explain which dishes and adaptations are appropriate for you.
Milk & lactose
Some dishes contain milk or dairy ingredients, while others are naturally dairy free or can sometimes be adapted.
If you are lactose intolerant or need to avoid milk completely because of an allergy, please tell us which applies to you. They are not the same thing, and our team can guide you accordingly.
Egg
Egg is used in some dishes and desserts, while many other dishes contain no egg in the current recipe. Please let our team know if you need to avoid egg and we will guide you through the menu.
Fish & shellfish
Fish and seafood are central to several CHECA dishes, especially our ceviches, tiraditos and seafood bites. Fish, crustaceans and molluscs are separate allergen categories, so please tell us exactly what you need to avoid and our team will help you choose suitable dishes.
Oysters, scallops, mussels, razor clams and octopus are molluscs. Prawns and crab are crustaceans.
Vegan
Dishes marked (V) are prepared without animal products in their recipe. They are prepared in the same kitchen as the rest of the menu, so cross-contact cannot be completely excluded.
Our vegan ceviche and vegan leche de tigre are prepared separately from the fish ceviches, but we still cannot guarantee the complete absence of traces. Fried vegan items use the same fryer as other dishes.
CHECA does not cook with peanuts, but traces from bought in products cannot be excluded.
Ceviches, tiraditos and oysters are served raw. Raw fish, especially tuna, can cause histamine reactions in sensitive people. If you are pregnant or unsure, please ask our team.
Dish specific allergen information
Based on our current recipes. If an allergen is not listed for a dish, it was not identified in our recipe information, which is not a guarantee that the dish is free from it.
