Absolutely beautiful space and such amazing food. I have celiac disease, and it's such a relief to find such divine eats that keep me safe. So much yum!! Thank you Tocoya Organica!

Norrito salad and shrimp are last meal level good. Lots of gluten free options. Ambiance and service are just ok.

This is my new favorite pizza place! My mother visited last year and would sing its praises every time we ate pizza (we aren’t from LA) so we had to come try it. It did not disappoint. Their pizza is insanely good, with stretchy cheese, and good quality crust. They also can make gluten free pizzas that taste just like the original. The best part is the staff. Our server Anaise is so nice, she chatted with us, took our picture, and even gave us complementary wings to try just cuss! This is not a restaurant you find often. It’s yummy, reasonably priced, and the company makes you feel at home. Can’t say enough nice things about Braazos! Try it for yourself!

I absolutely recommend this place for the best gluten free fried chicken in LA! it’s so crispy and tasty we are 100% coming back here to try more items on the menu and to get the family bucket. The lady who served us was also so nice and kind. Everything we ordered was so tasty, even the pickle and the green sauce - outstanding. Can’t wait to come back for more. Also it’s important to note that they validate parking 🙌🏼

Finally went here with a friend, both of us have visited family in Italy throughout our lives (for me: Salerno region) and needed to catch up and vent over good food. This pasta is so good. Everything there felt like being g back in Italy and not the tourist traps. They even had stelline/pastina and bone marrow! We ended up getting bone marrow, tiramisu, and the Angus ragù and wild boar ragù pastas. Everything was incredible and I've had dreams about the tiramisu since. They also use really good flour here it seems because I'm someone who can't really digest most wheat, not gluten but all wheat in the US just makes me feel sick almost like an allergy. The bread and pasta here was the rare wheat outside of Italy that I didn't feel sick, I didn't feel bloated, I wasn't in pain for days. Just stelline-eyed thinking about when I could visit again and try the next pasta. Friend is the same way and said the same thing. I only wish they had little pasta flight samplers 😅 For allergies: they're very good. I have a shellfish allergy and cross contamination wasn't a concern and there were plenty of non-shellfish options that were fantastic.

Such good food! They have a gluten free menu that clearly states which items have cross contamination, soy sauce or malt vinegar. There were a decent number of celiac safe options. The corn was my favorite, but honorable mentions to the beet salad, lamb curry and the farmers market margarita. It’s a nice restaurant with great service. We will be coming back!

Great place to come and work, as they have a comfy outside area and WiFi to use. But do expect slow service and high food prices. One thing I like from here is the gluten free pizza.

Honestly so so bad. Do not go here unless you want to walk out feeling terrible in every way. For the longest time this was on the very top of my list of places i needed to try. I was so excited. I have a number of allergies and the menu seems amazing. However the food is really really not good, not even considering the cost. More than that, i finished it feeling more bloated and nasty than i have in a long time. So for all of the things they say they are, it seems like there’s something they use in their cooking that is not good. So not safe for those with sensitive guts. I got the rad thai, their take on pad thai and it was mushy and bad and almost tasteless. It came with a side of tasteless greens and tasteless and dry quinoa all for 31$. They used thin clear noodles instead of a flat noodle. Pad thai in and of itself is gluten free besides the soy sauce so it’s not hard to make a healthier version. Next time I know to make it at home because my god did they mess this one up. Just mush, no texture, no flavor, and 4 pieces of the tiniest broccoli mixed in and maybe 15 strands of carrot. $31. On top of that the cashier was unbelievably rude and short with me totally uncalled for. And also just… weird? She took my order and then later when it came out even though i was the only other person in the restaurant she half-yelled out “rad thai” “rad thai” a number of times in a really irritated voice. The whole time i was standing pretty much right in fromt of her and there wasnt anyone else and she was yelling out into the distance in an irritated voice. Like girl wth 😂. It was 7pm too it wasnt even late. Also while i was waiting for my order i asked about the ice cream and she was texting the whole time and pretended not to hear me the first time. And then was like so irritated rolled her eyes at me and like mumbled ill get to you get out of the way there are other customers here. There were no other customers. Tho some customers came in 2 minutes later, i guess she was pre-empting the future lmao. She was acting like this with me the moment i walked in. The ambiance is bad too. It is not comfortable at all to sit and dine in. That might be on purpose. I guess they dont want you there. So if you want to feel like garbage both in your head and in your stomach this is the place for you. Would give 1 star but 2 for what they represent. Glad there’s a vegan and supposedly healthy restaurant here but that’s all they can get credit for because you dont leave it feeling healthy.

Wurstkuche is one of the restaurants I’d recommend to anyone visiting LA. I’ve been going here for years now and have always had the most amazing experiences. They accommodate my gluten allergy so well here, simply making my sausage without a bun and also wrapped in foil so no cross contamination occurs. I love the kielbasa and have yet to try anything too out there, but they have some very interesting and exotic sausages such as the rattlesnake & rabbit one! Not sure if I’ll ever be adventurous enough to try that one! There tends to be a line every time I go, but there’s always enough room to sit, as they have a large front patio and plenty of seats indoors that’s free seating. I love how there are crayons and you can color on the tables! Parking is pretty terrible as this is a busy area in the Arts District, so I’d recommend ubering if possible, although I did get lucky and find parking right away this time around! Definitely check this place out as they are super accommodating, the atmosphere is great and the food is delicious!

Our server for the night was Duanny, and let me just say, I hope all who go here get to have him. He was such a delight, answered all the questions I had about the vegan/gluten friendly options, and did so cheerfully! Such great food and atmosphere here as well!!

Marina Ouranitsas

Absolutely loved this place. Went with a big group and got most of the appetizers and everything was amazing 🤩 Loved the pear salad, the steaks, and they had this gluten free cheesy bread like starter that was so good. Most of the menu was gluten free or adaptable which was helpful for me.

These guys are killing it in here. Beautiful clean brand new dining area, the manager came right up to me and helped me diligently with an unconventional request. The atmosphere and the flavors are on point up in here. Will come back with my girlfriend who has celiac and craves more gluten free optional ramen places. Highly recommend.

Delicious! Veggie & Gluten free menu. They have a separate gluten free menu. But you need to make sure to mention them you are ordering from there. Because the names of the items are the same, so I thought I ordered a gluten free item but it came with bread. To their credit they did bring me out a new one without any gluten quickly.

Stumbled upon this great place early in the morning. Had an amazing GF egg sandwich. The bread tasted home made, which is difficult being gluten free. I will definitely return when in the area again. The coffee was amazing.

Went this past week and had the tasting menu. I am gluten and dairy free and they accommodated flawlessly. Each course was unique, beautiful to look at, and memorable to eat. My friend had the vegetarian tasting menu and loved it, too. The timing was excellent, no rushing or hovering. Yes, the plates are small but by the end I promise you will be full. Highly recommend.

William and Jessie were great. I had lots of gluten free questions and they walked us through everything. It was an enjoyable experience.

If you are near downtown LA you gotta visit this place. Chef Te and wife Lisa are the most lovely ppl. Everything is freshly made at the moment. They freaking age their own blue fin tuna. I wish I took a Pic of it because it was massive. I got Toro and it was so so delicious. I have a gluten allergy and they are very knowledgeable. Very honest and help me select which dish would be safest for my level of intolerance. They are not a dine in restaurant but there are so many areas to sit outside near the area. Also they are partners with the US bank tower where you can sit and dine. Amazing food made by Amazing ppl, they just earned a loyal customer for my business trips.

We had an incredible experience with our server, Jonathan! He chose the best things on the menu for us and we loved every bite! Delicious spicy garlic edamame, Shishito peppers, tons of vegan sushi options, gluten-free soy sauce, and tons of other sushi rolls, lots of options and everything we tried was delicious so come on in and have a great time!
