32 Best Fast Food Restaurants in El Cajon

“I'm not a hamburger person but once in a while I'll get a craving. Drive thru line was no longer than it's usual long, roughly 20 min wait. The girl who took our order was excellent. Shame on me because I should have checked before we left, but we got home I set up my kids to eat their food and I almost cried because MY BURGER WAS MISSING!! Sad day.“

“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“

“Their carne asada fries are to die for always enough for two. I get mine extra cheese no sour cream (I don't like it).
They never disappoint.!!
Sorry I don't have a photo I ate them before I left this review.
Next time.“

“5:45 am Sunday Oct.20th, 2024. Laura who had worked all night greeted us with a smile and kindness. Who could ever ask for more? Two great Breakfast burritos to get us on the road from San Diego to Los Angeles was all we needed! Sombreros is so consistent, even before 6 AM.

“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.“

“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!“

“Vegetarian options: Their Grilled Beyond Burger with grilled onions was fantastic! This is our new "go to" fast food place that's Vegan and Vegetarian friendly. Also highly recommend their battered green beans.

Parking: Good drive through. Lots of drink choices are available.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“As fast food sandwich shops go this one clearly stands out from the rest. The crew that made my sandwich was extremely fast and they didn't skim on the meat that went in it. They got through 15 or so people in under 5 minutes I was actually amazed. The sandwiches are top quality and the bread is always extremely fresh. This Jersey Mike's is a definite go to.“

“This Jersey Mikes does a great job. They get you in and out quickly. The dining floor, tables, & drink/condiment areas are kept clean. Last time I was here the card reader was having issues but Madison got it sorted out and helped me on my way. This time I got my favorite: a regular #2 Mikes way w/ a Pepsi, Cool Ranch Doritos, & a Chocolate TASTYKAKE (SoGood)“

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

“I don't go out to eat all too often, but when I do I am always delighted to see Ana down at the Magnolia location. Her attitude is wonderful and her service is swift and pleasant. Just goes to show how hiring the right kind of folks can really work on getting consistent customers!“

“The Best Grilled Chicken !!!“

“Tasty fast food courteous staff“

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

“Vegetarian options: There are theoretically vegetarian dishes such as bean burrito or fries or you can request a taco without meat but I don't know what kind of oil is used to cook these and the bean burrito normally has cheese so if you are Vegetarian, including no cheese you may have to specially request that as well.

Parking: This is in an area close to Wal Mart, Smart & Final, Panda, UPS, Sally's, and other shops so it can get busy. When leaving it is sometimes easier/safer to turn right and make a u turn near truck stop, near dirt road area to get back to the freeway rather than trying to left across traffic and partially blind corner.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure if there are auto doors but there may be a handicapped parking spot.“

“Buenas hamburguesas mmmmm“

“I recently had the pleasure of interacting with Sondra, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment she took my order.

Sondra was friendly and professional this time of night. I appreciated how she went above and beyond to ensure my order was exactly how I requested.

It’s rare to find such dedication in customer service these days, showing that she truly careered about customers’ satisfaction.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would highly recommend Sondra needs to be valued with jack-in-the-Box. Thank you Sondra for providing such outstanding service!“

“Cashier was helpful. The new remodel is cool. Though my kid didn't like the removal of the little game screens they used to have. But less germs to spread that way I guess. It is actually a unfriendly environment for kids now, nothing like what it was when I was growing up. I couldn't find the free wifi connection so they may have taken that way also. There was also knats bothering us while we ate, they kept flying in our faces and trying to get our food. So we had to eat fast and get out of there. Which seems like that was what McDonald's wants customers to do now anyways, it isn't a spot to chill anymore.

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly anymore. And kids meals are $6+

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Place has been remodeled in recent years. Looks a lot cleaner inside. I love the tacos but the price has gone up so much, I rarely treat myself to them anymore. $3.49 +tax…with minimum wage going up, we’re going to be paying $5 for two tacos here real soon. ????I hate to say it, they’re way better than Jacks!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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. 👍🏽💪🏽“
