36 Best Fast Food Restaurants in El Cajon

“My family and I LOVE In-N-Out. As usual, this place was busy. Also as usual, the staff were amazing at handling all the madness. My 4yr old son and I ordered our food, they gave him a set of crayons and a hat, we got our drinks and watched as the amazing staff did their magic. Food was great, as usual 😋“

“If you're looking for an authentic, Philly steak sandwich, look no further
These guys make each sandwich to order and everything is fresh and delicious. Don't get me started about the fries. You could order them plain or I understand you can order them Philly style. Going to have to try that next time. Let me know what you think of this. Fabulous local spot“

“love raising cane's but today...fries were minimal, chck pcs seriously small and the sprite...is more faucet water than pop....I will still come, cause I love your chckn...hopefully it was just a fluke day and next will.be better“

“We grabbed takeout last night for a party of three, and once again it was a great experience. I ordered the grande tostada—my absolute favorite—and it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Even for takeout, the quality was excellent. The staff was, as always, incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Consistent good food and warm service keep us coming back!“

“Good food comes out in good time it's decently priced and good hot sauce . Mite be a small restaurant but Over all good place to get food.“

“Team Magnolia did a great job. The employees knew their customer Chris by name in front of us. I had a polish sandwich. My husband loves your chili dogs. Our fries were way too salty for us but.... Most customers love them that way. The main lobby and bathrooms were very clean. The trash cans in the lobby and outside didn't have trash sticking out of then like you see most fast food places. 👍 I understand since you no longer provide paper towels and have an air machine to dry our hands, there is no need to put a small trash can in there. You still need one. Most customers will use the disposable toilet seat covers to grab the door handle so they don't get public germs on their hands after washing them. They need a trash can for that and/or femine disposal items from guests. I didn't see one of those in there either. Thanks for allowing me to provide feedback. We heart Dee Weinnerschnitzel.“

“I was very hungry today, swung by the drive-thru, and was pleasantly surprised with a first-rate Chicago all-beef hotdog, tasty French fries, and a delightful orange cream shake (with a wide straw)! I sat in the adjacent parking lot and devoured a meal fit for this diva! I will definitely return for some of the interesting entrées listed on the diverse menu! ✔️???“

“Monster Taco's the BEST!“

“It's all day today I've been telling my friends that Five Guys has the best burgers in town and now I'm getting a load of requests to try out other places.“

“Fast food burger place that started in santa barbara years ago. Everything is made to order. I had the portobello mushroom burger. The sauces were nice. I haven't been I would definitely ask if they could cook the thin burger not quite so dry. My son had a combo plate cheeseburger. No complaints and better than the ones that keep things on steam tables. The fries were good.“

“Love it there, the lady and son and workers are really nice 👍“

“My local Jack in the box. Never had a bad experience here. My latest addiction is fill out the receipt survey then next trip two for one jumbo Jack's. And repeat. Used to get donation $1 cirly fry but I think it's over now boo. Late night munchy meal boxes and crazy and so good but soo bad for you lol.“

“This place is a chain and an amazing one for that matter. It's not the best Taco shop but it's so solid and consistent with great food that whenever I see one I'm excited and already know I'm going to get great southern California Taco shop food. San Diego is lucky to have them...I wish they made it out to some other states. Also the price is always great. You are not going to break your bank here.“

“Mikes is a safe go to when your looking for a quality sandwich.
The prices are fair taking into account everything costs more.
The food is very good and you can't beat the service.
That's the true standout
They really have good people.“

“I’ve been coming to this location for 20+ years. Always a good experience. My only complaint is the salsa being packaged in bags. The bags are not the easiest to open, they are messy when eating, and half the salsa ends up wasted because it spills from the side of the bag. Please go back to putting salsa in cups.“

“Tonight (6/24/24) my mother came in to order some sandwiches for me, my husband and her, my husband can’t eat gluten so he always gets their gluten free bread when ordering, well my mom called and told me that when she asked for the GF bread the woman working started to clean off all the counters and equipment for about 15 minutes she said she scrubbed and cleaned it all including the slicer as to reduce the amount of cross contamination from the regular bread, even tho she had a small line she still took the time without being asked to do that, I wish I was there to thank her for that because no else ever at any location we have purchased from has taken the time to make sure his sandwich was ok to the best of their abilities to eat, it was extremely kind of her I don’t know her name but if that was you tonight THANK YOU! You need a raise!“

“I came in saturday afternoon, i saw this woman making my food, i walked in she greeted me and asked if ive been helped, i told her yes im just waiting for my order, it was her and another girl making the food and either one couldve made it good but honestly they made it so amazing. I asked her for her name she said it was laura, so then i asked about the other woman and she said nadia, laura looked very happy to talk to me and was smiling a lot, her and the other girl named nadia were very good with my food.“

“I love this McDonald's. The people are so friendly. Way better than 2nd st!“

“Love it. I pull no no robotic question about checking in w a Mobil app. Simply a human asking what I’d like to order. No asking if I want to round up to a nameless charity whose proceedes pay unnamed executives at a charity whose % of $ raised doesn’t go 100% to people. Great service simple ordering and great quick food !!“

“Love the new employees they hired, very personable and overall sweet people.

Don't know if this is standard for their tacos, or if these have been sitting in a puddle of oil for too long. $1 for 2 tacos when ordering through the app is a price that can't be beat, so I'm not upset.

Coke freestyle machines keep me coming back. They never seem to skimp on syrup, so it's always flavorful. Try the lime coke if you haven't already.“

“Excellent Service Social Distancing Polite First Time There I Loved It !!💞 Great Environment Great Food They Even Offered Us Water For The Wait Excellent Service Blessings 💞🙏“

“If you buy something save the receipt for the next time. Just take the survey, write the code on the receipt and keep in wallet! When on the way home from Sycaun with your friend drive thru Jack in the Box and pick up a BOGO ultimate burger for the ride home! Great way to end the night! Thanks! 😊“

“I love taco bell, but I don't like soggy tacos. It almost never fails, I get crunchy tacos that no longer crunch.
I will say, the young man who took my order and served me at the drive thru window last night was very, very nice, energetic, personable, happy and efficient. I will return to that Taco Bell just because of his wonderful service.

Parking: Always plenty of free parking when I go there

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and a wheelchair friendly establishment“

“This place has been providing some good service lately. The only reason I gave 4 stars for food was because the bean and cheese burritos were very skinny, and not at all what they normally serve. Other than that, it was fast, convenient, and thr drive thru took about 3 min with 2 cars in front of us.“

“yes was very delicious the chicken it was the best .The only concerns was the employees. My daughter repeated the orders like three times and than returned because was a misteck with the menu.“

“Great food and even better atmosphere and service today. This location had the sandwich and got them out in a timely manner!! Will definitely be back. 👍🏽💪🏽“

“I lived in Mission Beach yrs ago & in Old Mission was a Jersery Sub Shop & I have looked & looked all over S.D. for one that would be as good & I finally found Jersery Mikes. The first one I went to was in Merritta the other side of Temecula then when I came back to El Cajon I found the one on Broadway. haven't tried the one in Rancho S.D. yet ,I'm sure going to next time I'm over that way. So far they have been the closest to the one in Mission Beach. OK!“

“Picked up some pizzas last night for movie night! Uber eats was delivering, wow 😮 really surprised this local place near me has fantastic pizza and breadsticks! I will come back again!“

“Drive thru went quick. They were very organized.“

“Es un buen restaurante donde te atienden bien y amablemente y muy rápido es el restaurante más rápido que he visto“

“Navae (sry if I butchered your name) working 7.18.24 night shift il drive thru is absolutely wonderful and will keep me coming back To Taco Bell over and over, purely because her excellent customer service and helpfulness. Deserves a raise for sure!!“

“Tasty fast food courteous staff“

“Love my Jumbo Jack with onion rings combo, great prices.“

“The Best Grilled Chicken !!!“

“Man feeding dog on the table“

“I never realized this Pizza Hut location was very close to our house. The pizza is delicious and service is great. I ordered online and the pizza was ready in 15 minutes. Although it wasn't quite ready when we got there, the wait was only about 5 minutes. The employee who helped us was very professional, courteous, friendly and helpful. I wish I remembered his name!“
