September 12, 2024

Los Angeles! The land of sunshine, surf, and...well, sometimes it feels like endless gluten. But fear not, fellow gluten-free friends! This vibrant city has delicious options catering to your dietary needs. Whether you're a recent convert to the gluten-free lifestyle or a seasoned pro, navigating menus and finding safe, satisfying meals can sometimes feel challenging.

Here at Gradito, we understand the importance of enjoying amazing food without sacrificing health. That's why we connect you with top-tier private Los Angeles chefs passionate about creating incredible gluten-free experiences.

Before we dive into the wonderful world of Gradito private chefs, let's explore some fantastic gluten-free restaurants in LA that are sure to tantalize your taste buds:

3 Must-Try Gluten-Free Dishes in LA

1. Crispy Baja Fish Tacos at Tocaya 

Who says tacos are off-limits? Tocaya's Baja fish tacos are a gluten-free dream come true. They use fresh, flaky white fish dipped in a light, flavorful batter (made with gluten-free ingredients) and fried to crispy perfection. Topped with a tangy slaw, creamy avocado, and a squeeze of lime, these tacos are a fiesta for your senses.

2. Creamy Butternut Squash Risotto at Cafe Gratitude 

This dish proves that gluten-free doesn't have to mean sacrificing comfort food. Cafe Gratitude's risotto is made with a creamy cashew-based sauce packed with tender butternut squash and seasonal vegetables. It's a warm, satisfying dish perfect for a cozy evening out.

3. Pupusas at VCHOS

Feeling like a taste of El Salvador? VCHOS offers delicious pupusas, a traditional Salvadoran dish with thick masa harina tortillas (corn flour) filled with savory ingredients like cheese, beans, or chicharron (fried pork).  Since corn is naturally gluten-free, pupusas are a perfect option for a satisfying and flavorful gluten-free meal.
