attn: Orange County

For some reason, I never thought to google gluten-free restaurants in orange county. I mean, I google everything else. OK! i'll admit it....i've googled people. Is that creepy? maybe.

regardless of my creepiness... I found one restaurant/pub that serves gluten-free food and even a place in Disneyland.

I'll just do a little list for your info. If anyone knows of any others (aside from Outback Steakhouse and PF Changs) let me know!

Orange County GF Eateries

1. Skosh Monahans- This is a restaurant by day and pub by night. The owner's child was diagnosed with autism in 2002 and is on a gluten-free diet. They offer a great gluten/casein free menu for kids and adults alike, including pizza.
(949) 548-0099 Location: Costa Mesa














2. Z' Tejas- This is a small chain, but I had no idea it offered a GF menu. The menu is basically TexMex and being from Texas...I know good TexMex. Funny thing is I've always liked Z' Tejas and it's nice to know they offer a GF menu. The menu can be found on their website. ztejas.com
(714) 979-7469 Location: Costa Mesa @ South Cost Plaza

















3. Storyteller's Cafe- Located at Disneyland's Grand California Hotel, this is the perfect place if you are on a vacation at the Happiest Place on earth (aside from Disneyworld...and Eurodisney, of course). They offer gluten-free items such as pizza, hamburger buns (finally a hamburger non-protein style!), and apparently GF breakfast items as well.
714-781-3463 Location:Disneyland i.e. Anahiem

This next one i'm not sure about, but a friend told me they offer gluten-free items along with Vegan items.













4. Native Foods- It's pretty much a vegan restaurant. All natural. GF and Vegan often go hand in hand.
(714) 751-2151 Location: Costa Mesa @ The Camp


I have yet to actually try any of these places. I'm poor. I have no car. I pretty much eat chicken and vegetables with hummus every day. What do you want from me! I'll have a car/kitchen/money soon. Ok I lie, I'll never have money. Eventually I'll test these places out and give relay my utterly brilliant culinary critic. It seems to me that Costa Mesa is on the ball in regards to their GF restaurants. The rest of Orange County is kind of failing. FAILING Orange County, hear that??

I know this was written a year ago but I just came across your blog. I just learned about Disneyland and all of the items they actually have available if you ask. I haven't been to Skosh Monahan's but I hear it's good. And as for Native Foods, I just ate there for the first time today. One just opened up in Aliso Viejo. Their menu is strictly meat and dairy free. However, if you ask the person behind the counter, they have a supplemental binder that has the items that are gluten free and/or can be made gluten free with a few modifications. They are completely nice and helpful and actually know what wheat and gluten free is!

Fantastic. Our son is on a GF/CF diet and we've basically stopped going out to dinner. The only place we go is Wahoo's, and even they cook their rice with butter. I wish more of these types of restaurants would open up in South Orange County. Costa Mesa is a bit of a haul from San Clemente for dinner with 3 screaming kids in the car.

There are many many more places at the Disneyland Resort with gluten-free offerings! The best I know of is Cafe Orleans, which offers a Ratatouille that's gluten-free, a Salmon Salad and a Chicken Caesar salad. None of the desserts are, sadly, but I suppose this is common enough. Cafe Orleans also offers a gluten-free rice noodle for their kids meals, but these take about 30 minutes to prepare.

More information can be found out about this from guest relations! DL is really great about accommodating guests with food allergies!
