Ted's Café Escondido

The waitress that interacted with my gluten free daughter was one of the best we've had since she went gluten free. Brandy took the time to ask questions and explain the process and procedures for their kitchen and establishment. She too has celiac disease so it made my daughter feel like she found her place and her people. Someone who finally understood her struggle. Money can't buy that peace. Ted's is an awesome place to eat and enjoy the company of your loved ones. They made her feel included with food choices and options. I can't say enough good things. It's wonderful all around... Food, environment, people, everything. If you haven't been. Go!

I had slight reservations about dining here, but we were hungry and saw that they had gluten free menu options so we decided to give it a try. Luckily, Brandy, the waitress serving us, had celiac disease herself so she was very helpful and patient while I looked over my options. She brought out steamed corn tortillas for me instead of their corn tortilla chips that go in a shared fryer. She told me something neither of us know, is that most restaurants "flash fry" their rice in the same fryer so that may be an issue if cross contamination affects you. Regardless, I enjoyed the meal and the spectacular service she provided, so we will be back to this location!
