10/10. Can’t wait to go back for lunch. I felt safe eating here and consider GG’s celiac safe. They took excellent care to prepare wonderful safe and vegetarian gluten free food for me.

Yummy brunch spot in downtown Laguna! Has everything you’d want to eat for brunch and great gluten free options. I got the Mediterranean plate & loved it!
This place is amazing…if you don’t have celiac. I ate here prior to my diagnosis. I spoke with them this past year and they said there is flour everywhere and would not consider their place celiac safe. There are a couple of celiac safe restaurants in Laguna, Nicks Mexican and another one and the same building complex. Both make delicious celiac safe gluten free food.
Delicious food and incredibly friendly service. I also found a new favorite tea there (Coconutea), which they offer through a local tea maker. Highly recommended spot! Gluten-free friendly.
Not celiac-friendly, as the menu might have you believe. Though the menu offers multiple items that claim they can be "prepared gluten free upon request," this statement is false because items labeled GF are cooked in the same oil/fryer as foods containing gluten. Additionally, items on the menu that come with bread or toast are made GF by simply removing the bread with no alternative grain replacement.
The menu doesn’t say anything about gluten-free, but the waiter assured me that there was a dedicated fryer and that everything in the menu could be made with tweaks to be gluten-free. He also said that the manager would be notified that I had celiac, as well as the kitchen. The chef delivered my meal separately and it was incredibly delicious. My partner did not need gluten-free and he said it was one of the best Mexican dishes he had ever had. I felt very safe and cared for!
So yummy and healthy (Delicious and nutritious):). Grass fed, vegan friendly, keto friendly, gluten free. Seed oil free. Such great service- it’s like a community feeling in this place.
Favorite place to chill and eat in Southern California. Good food, draft beer along with view and SoCal vibes is hard to beat!
Highly recommend the fish tacos and ceviche along with whatever draft beef they have.
Also for my wife they had some gluten free options including gluten free buns for her burger. Very knowledgeable on the topic.
Gluten-free options I had the salmon it was delicious. And the presentation was beautiful! Our server was knowledgeable about gluten-free options
Hands down, it was the best meal I had on my entire vacation from Palm Desert to Laguna Beach. Thank you for a wonderful experience and most of all for making my dietary restrictions feel normal.
First I will say I never write reviews, but after my dinning experience at Maro, I must. From the first sip of my house made sangria, which was the best I've ever had, to the amazing wood fire grilled appetizers, delicious entres and decadent desert, this was hands down the best dinning experience I have had in, I can't even remember. We were greeted and served by Chris, who couldn't have been more welcoming and knowledgeable about the abundant variety of fresh 100% organic ingredients, gluten free and vegetarian options for me and meat and seafood options for my partner. The food was excellent, and cooked to perfection in their wood fire grill...very tasty. The fire grilled artichoke appetizer and mushroom soup entree are a must! The service was outstanding, and the ambience including the Bossa Nova music made for a romantic yet cool and refreshing top notch dining experience. Can't wait to go back. Thank you to Chris and all the Maro staff, such a pleasure!
One of the best dining experiences my family has had! The food and the staff were incredible. I have a gluten allergy and they took great care of me and keeping me safe while still delivering amazing food. I would HIGHLY recommend.
I'm rating this a 5 because it's very rare to find dairy free gluten free dessert! I get the chocolate and vanilla combo with some toppings. Place could be cleaner. The toppings are do it yourself so it's a little messy. The chocolate chips looked wet? The yogurt is pay by the lb (including toppings) Not alot of space inside to sit. Some tables outside.
They advertise GF pasta, we called and made reservations where we told them about our party's gluten allergy, then we get there and they basically refused to serve us. "We're too busy" was the excuse. You can either accommodate gluten issues or you can't. Don't go here if you have celiac.
Celiac friendly
