Title: Planning a trip to LA in July..
Post by: Princess Cheese on February 20, 2012, 11:51:55 AM
Now.. I'm so paranoid about allergies it's ridiculous.
We plan to go into LAX if we fly.. (I really want to drive, I'm so scared of flying but it will take SO long to drive).. I'm worried about the pressure in your head while flying.

So are there any good places to eat or avoid there?  We wanna do all the fun stuff while there :)

There are probably some chain restaurants in the LA area not in your state/hometown.  I can give advice on PA/TNA:

Rubio's: fresh mex food

Chipotle: custom burritos/rice bowls, fresh food/meat, love Chipotle!

La Salsa: another fresh mex food
I eat there and I think they have a binder of ingredients or you can write to them.

In N Out Burger: You can call their 800#, many here have called and consider safe for PA/TNA (except the shakes b/c the icecream isn't guaranteed free from cross-x)

If you can, go to Disney even without kids. In the least, go eat at one of the hotels. They will accommodate your food allergies and serve you great food.

La Salsa is always good for pn/tn.

Maggiano's is great and the chef will come to the table to understand your allergens.

Google for "bakeries without your allergen" as there is a bakery outside of Anaheim that is great.

I might just pack a huge suitcase with my own food lol.. :P

Can anyone recommend a good/cheap hotel?  We'll only be there to sleep at night.
