33 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Your chili cheese fries made me cry today. But its a good thing! Here's why. Growing up my mom was a single mom, so my grandma whom we lived with was basically my second mother. Needless to say her and I had a bond unlike any other. She was the most important person to me. And our favorite thing to share together in life, was food. We had our usual favorites, i.e. Weinerschnitzel. Our favorite is your chili fries! Growing up we always talked about how we would love a "large" size fry, because we love them so much! Well, my grandma passed away last year, a couple days before my wedding. Its been a rough year but the good things that remind me of her and our happy times, really get me by. When I heard the new "large" size was introduced, I had to have them. Today, the always wonderfully nice people at the Magnolia ave. store made me an order of your large size fries. This was the 2nd time I had tried them, delicious ofcourse. But today I parked and opened my box of fries, and saw it was fresh, steamy, and sooo many fries!! I was so excited, my first reaction was to call my Grandma and tell her all about it. Well I havent found a cell provider that calls to heaven yet. But that fresh hot order of fries, brought back sooo many good memories. And as a cook, I believe thats the job of good food. To transport you to a happy place. And today, it most definaitley did. And I felt you should know. Thank you so much for a wonderful kickstart to my day. :) To some it may seem crazy, but to me my heart is happy today.“

“Monster Taco's the BEST!“

“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! ✔️???“

“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.

“Food was good, but not as good as I've had at other locations. The chicken was a little small. I ordered tea and somehow got Coke for both of my drinks. Also the line was very long but it moved pretty fast.

Parking: It's in a huge shopping plaza. If you can't find a spot, drive a little farther“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time here and wow I'm speachless. The staff and manager at this location are amazing. Felt welcomed as soon as we entered. Very clean and well managed. The food was also top notch. 5 star for sure, highly recommend the chicken club.“

“Been coming to this location for over 15 years with my kids. Always great. The owner is s hard working nice lady. Pumpkin pie blizzard was fab!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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)“

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

“The service has improved tremendously, and the food was just yummy and hit the spot. The only thing the atmosphere suffered from was a malfunctioning machine that admitted a high frequency noise and lack of air conditioning at the moment. Uncomfortable but understandable considering san diego weather“

“I was a bit disappointed to have to flag someone down to place my order. While I understand the restaurant's self-service model, it would be helpful to have someone keep an eyes on cash payment customers. I don’t want to sound dramatic, the wait wasn’t that long.
Once I was assisted, my bean burrito with no rice arrived promptly and tasted great.“

“The staff at this location are so amazing and well accommodating & the manager of this location is very professional when it comes to handling any problem the food always comes out fresh and they’re always very polite about everything this is one of my favorite Taco Bell‘s to go to“

“Service was horrible the order taker was in. A hurry to take my order and kept cutting me off and rolled his eyes at me when I asked him to repeat my order.

Parking: Lots of empty spots around the entire restaurant.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is at both entries“

“ice creams are delicious“

“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.“

“Man feeding dog on the table“

“Awesome pizza thoguh service is amazong sometimes when there are new employees its takes a tad bit longer overall this is a great resteuant and amazing service and ive have been a customer for a year about now after it being recommended to me last year“

“Buenas hamburguesas mmmmm“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Tasty fast food courteous staff“

“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“

“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!“
