<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thank you for all the info! This group is *amazing*. Summary: 1. Outback Resturant--speak English well and no problems so long as avoid seasonings, marinades, etc. No one knew if they follow the corporate menu (with gluten-free items as marked), so I will need to check. 2. Charcoal Charlie's in Isle Verde 3. Italian restaurant at the El San Juan Hotel... 0rdered plain broiled veal chops and had a sumptuous meal with salad and baked potato and white wine. 4. El Conquistador. It was marvelous. They broiled a chicken breast up for me with a baked potato and salad. 5. ALso have McDonalds, Burger King, etc. Regional food is generally gluten-free: 1. Jibarro sandwich - or "jibarritos": They are steak sandwiches made with cheese, tomato, mayo (Helman's, usually) WITHOUT bread - but with fried plaintain (no flour/not breaded) as the "bread". 2. Arroz con gandules - rice with pigeon peas and sometimes sausage/meat. 3. Tostones - fried plaintain chips - again, no flour. 4. Tamales - corn "masa Other Tips: 1. Bring own food for emergencies, especially on the plane. 2. Try to get a room with at least a fridge and also a microwave if possible. 3. Since native cuisine generally GF, go to good local restaurants and avoid large commercial ones. 4. You should be able to get a lot of fresh seafood (hope you like it). You can eat it with lemon and butter or olive oil. Stick with plain meats, fruits, vegetables and you can't go wrong.
