Hi there,

Is there anyone here from South Orange County (CA) area that can share some good dining/restaurant experiences?

I am newer to this diet and am very scared to eat out. I have heard of a Restaurant in Costa Mesa - Skosh Monnahans, which serves gluten-free, but it isn't very close.

I would also love to find a safe Mexican food restaurant. (I miss El Pollo Loco for the fast food/hurry-up fix)

Thanks to all!

Scroll down to the "on the way to LA" section. I ate at Typhoon once with no problems. They were very friendly and accomodating, but if you order something with soy sauce, double verify that it's gluten-free soy sauce.

I can't think of any mexican restaurants in that area off hand, but many of the more authentic places have many gluten-free options, and you should be able to get tacos and what not with corn tortillas instead of flour. Triumph dining cards can sometimes be helpful in that kind of situation. Good luck

I believe that there is a Chevy's Fresh Mex restaurant near Orange County (I saw two driving from Redlands to there and back recently). I love Chevy's. I order the fajitas with corn tortillas and I have never had a problem. Besides which, the fajitas are pretty darn good, at least at the one I go to. Happy holidays! I hope you find somewhere nice.
