El Burrito Jr. Seal Beach, Ca

We eat at El Burrito Jr. in Seal Beach quite often and I realized I had never posted about them. It's home cooked food and pretty inexpensive. The best thing is nearly everything on the menu is naturally gluten free. It's a family run place and when I was diagnosed one of the girls there went over the entire menu and ingredients with me. We have never been glutened there in 3 years!

The chips are safe to eat.

All the meats and tacos are safe.

Beans and rice are safe.

The only gluten containing ingredients are the flour tortillas and the enchilada sauce has flour as a thickener.

I order the tacos, beans rice, nachos, tostadas.

Their salsa is safe and they also have a red sauce they put on the tostada that is safe too.

If you are in the area check it out. It's directly across from the beach.

Depending on who is working, they may not know what you mean when you say gluten free. Just order the things I put on here, or ask them about flour. That will make more sense. There is no soy sauce in anything.

Thanks for the tip! We're higher up north in Santa Monica but it's always good to know of places in the vicinity for when we find ourselves down there.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.
