Top 28 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in San Juan Capistrano

Great food, service, and atmosphere especially with the live music and being in lively downtown San Juan Capistrano. Everyone loved their food except the tacos were just okay. They had a few gluten free options. The atmosphere is geared towards adults with a big bar and loud music. It might be more kid friendly at lunchtime.

Gluten free crust here is amazing!! Music and atmosphere is incredible as well. Perfect for a casual date or a meal on a nice night out. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting a great slice of pizza

I love The Stand! From the staff, to the food, it’s A+! I came here with my family after a Christmas event, and it was the perfect ending to a great day. I love the complementary pickles and all the great food options, including vegetarian and gluten free. And the brownies are to DIE for!

This is pure Texas style bbq and the brisket is fantastic. The brisket beans, slaw, and queso should be gluten free but I'd check with the restaurant first as I didn't have those. All the meats besides the sausage are gluten free and gave me no reaction.

Stopped in for lunch. Glad to see a full page of gluten free items for my wife. Chicago deep dish was delicious!

One of the best meals we have had in South Orange County recently! Fantastic flavors on everything we ordered. My partner is gluten free, and often has to settle for one or two menu options. Here she could choose from almost the entire menu. She loved the Honey Walnut Shrimp. Mike the GM was very welcoming, and we received fantastic service. Upstairs in downtown San Juan Capistrano with a great balcony (we didn't partake - too cold that night). Would highly recommend. We will be back!

If you are vegan you can get the vegetables enchiladas and they are delicious and gluten free!!

Love Rancho Capistrano Winery!! Food is delicious. Good gluten-free options. Outdoor patio is nicely done with wood beams overhead and plants. Nice wines to choose from. Highly recommend!

Restaurant Review: Authentic Brazilian Flavors and Incredible Dining Experience To start, we had gluten-free popcorn chicken, which was a pleasant surprise. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it was seasoned to perfection and an excellent choice for anyone with dietary restrictions. The highlight of the meal was the Picanha. Cooked to perfection, this classic Brazilian cut of beef was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The accompanying sauces complemented the dish beautifully, adding layers of texture and taste. Finally, we tried the Shrimp Bobo, a creamy and hearty dish that combined shrimp with cassava and coconut milk. The blend of flavors was extraordinary, and the dish had a comforting, home-cooked feel that left us thoroughly satisfied. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to accommodate dietary needs. If you’re looking for authentic Brazilian cuisine with something for everyone, this restaurant is a must-visit!

I cannot recommend Limoncello enough. Giovanni and his staff were amazing and treated us like family. I contacted him to place a huge catering order for a high school cross country team in town from Colorado needing a pre-race meal. Giovanni made recommendations and was able to accommodate dairy and gluten allergies. The parents and team praised the meal as being the most delicious travel meal we have ever had. The baked pasta, Tirimisu and salad were all beyond delicious and there was enough food for second helpings AND the team’s lunch the following day. Giovanni was kind, welcoming and eager to help us all have a wonderful authentic Italian pre-race meal. Definitely recommend 10/10. We will certainly order again next year!

Second time eating at Nom. First time I got a bowl with lettuce, rice and chicken. I tried many of the toppings options and sauces. This time I had a wrap with the steak, lettuce, avocado and some sauces. It was so delicious! I love having the two options-bowl or wrap and the ingredients are free of seed oils. Feel great they offer many gluten and dairy free options and some items are locally sourced from San Juan Capistrano. Glad to see that a this eatery is supporting other local businesses.

Lovely restaurant. Servers were excellent and explained menu options well for my son and I are strict gluten free. There were so many options! The food came out quickly and was delicious. We had a wonderful experience and will return. Thank you!

I made a reservation 2 weeks in advance for 7 people. We were 20 minutes late, the staff were pleasant and waited for us to arrive although our table was already prepared. My family ordered a few different appetizers and entrees. Everything was delicious and came out on time. Abraham was a very attentive server and was helpful to all of my family's request. The portions were great size, plenty of left overs. We will be back! This restaurant is gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian friendly.

Marty and his team were SPECTACULAR!! You gotta book them if you want real BBQ done right with hospitality that’s unheard of in California! We had them cater our wedding and everything was beyond expectations!! The food was so delicious with every bite and the service was beyond 5 star! We got so many compliments for having them at our event! They even made special accommodations for my wife’s gluten allergies! Pretty sure we will have to have Bad to the Bone cater ever event of ours now because we’ve had the best and don’t want anything else ever again!! Love you guys and can’t thank you enough for such amazing food and service!

Delicious food amazing service! We were here for our grandfather’s 90th birthday with a large group of people in the staff took care of us like we were family making our grandfathers birthday even that more special. There’s so many delicious options. I would recommend the Mar Y Tierra which are filet mignon field enchiladas with a cream sauce and two Mexican prawns. They have many delicious soups, the rack of lamb is one of the best in Orange County and if you just feel like some drinks, they have a flight of margaritas and the best chips and salsa around. All the tacos are great, but we like the taco Del Mar which are mahi-mahi. They do have vegetarian options and gluten-free and dairy free friendly. Thank you again for taking care of our family. We will be back soon.

Best gluten free pizza I have ever had! Cauliflower crust cooked to perfection.

Hailey Wachtel

Excellent service! 7 of us plus a baby came in. We left full and happy! Service was awesome and my husband (who has celiac) was able to eat here! They were able to accommodate his gluten free diet!

Dan Rose

Quick and great street tacos. Had the al pastor and Pollo Asado. Would recommend and as a celiac they were gluten free.
