Renegade Country Western Bar • $
14335 Olde Hwy 80, El Cajon

“Howdy cowgirls and cowboys! For a bar on top of a feed store- it's pretty nice. Any night of the week - it is packed. It's small and local which is great! It does have great drinks and reasonably priced, it has line dancing and great music. Sometimes they have food trucks which is fun. If the dance floor isn't for you- they have pool table and corn hole. This bar is for everyone and fun.“

La Chalupa Mariscos Seafood •
401 N Johnson Ave, El Cajon

“As a Mexican, I’m very particular about my mariscos, and out of the three Mariscos trucks in El Cajon, this one is by far the best. I love their aguachiles, and their fairly priced fish tacos are bomb. Authentic as it gets, to be honest!!“

I'm giving it 4 stars because the salsas were horrible. They are placed where the sun hits and so it smelled a bit sour, not fresh or good for my liking. I asked for fresh refrigerated salsa n got the same watered-down habanero salsa. I tried it because i need the spiciness but honestly it just made my tortilla soggy n messy. Please work on your salsas and i will change from a 4 to a 5 star review. I will be back in a couple weeks.“

Orange Chicken

“I would say hole in the wall but it's a food truck in a Liquor store parking lot and it's a pretty good spot. Fusion sushi rolls were pretty good tasting but a little pricey and a little small. They were cut into real small pieces like 16 pieces so easily shareable. The chicken fried rice is pretty tasty as well, a good filler with plenty of chicken. This One man operation-took order, cooked, bagged up and everything Friendly and as fast and efficient as could be. Tables to sit at and liquor store to pick up drinks, definitely could be on the rotation for sushi nights.“

Birria Spot Food Trucks • $$
301 W 28th St suite p, National City - 12.57 miles

“Was looking to grab some quick takeout mexican and came across this spot right off the 163 and gennesse. Its a food truck semi permanently parked on the American legion parking lot on the corner. Menu is limited, even more so when they told me thier fryer was down. So I ordered 2 tacos and the quesadilla. Total with tax and tip was $20. This better be some dam goood birria for that price. Took a seat while waiting for my food, they have a few bar tops with high chairs scattered under a pop up awning as well as a 2 tables with 4 chairs set up. Not too long later they brought out my food telling me that the hot sauce was also in there. Got home and opened up the bag and was immediately disappointed in the portion sizes. Even the hot sauce they included was underwhelming. It was first time I had gotten hot sauce in baggies like I was buying some drugs. Reminded me of baggies of crack you see on tv and in movies being sold o the streets. Pretty funny until you realize this is no where near enough sauce for a meal. I first tried the taco, with the red hot sauce. The taco was good, good tasting birria and fresh onions and cilantro, and a nice tasting tortilla. The hot sauce didn't even last a single taco. Up next is the quesadilla. This was the highlight of my meal. Cheesy meaty goodness, this was worth the $10 price tag. Plenty of cheese, plenty of meat, great flavor. Overall good food but the portion size is a little off for the price. Definitely ask for more hot sauce. 2 dime bags isn't enough.“

TACO PICASSO Mobile caterer • $$
4637 Market St, San Diego - 9.62 miles

“I hired Taco Love to cater my wedding in February and would happily look forward to hiring them again for any future event. Consider this a glowing review, and a recommendation to hire them for your events! Guests are still raving about how great the food was ... many of them were so taken by the appetizers that they didn't even realize a dinner course was still to come! After being super disappointed with the attitude and racist comments from a *different* caterer that had been highly recommended to us, we found Randy and Taco Love and it was a perfect fit! From the first phone call, we knew we were on the right track for our event. He was always kind, very laid-back (something that vibed really well with my personality, but something to note if you want things super formal and in writing right away), and very accommodating to the unique needs and vision of our event and venue space. He would always tell us "it is your wedding ... you let me know what you want and we will make it happen!" We used some of his serving dishes, and some of our own. At our tasting, he made sure we had one of each thing on his menu and it all tasted so great! The meat and veggie options were very delicious, and the salsas were incredibly flavorful. From there, the process was very smooth. There was no limit on the menu, he allowed us to choose from everything they make on the truck. The price was reasonable, and he even added a dessert option only two weeks out from the wedding! Our guests LOVED the churros and ice cream. He was right on time for our wedding, and from what we could tell everything ran so smoothly! We had plenty of food for our guest count of 130. My only regret, is that as the bride and groom we were so chaotic that day we didn't get to eat as much as we wanted to! We are already planning a time to catch his truck when we are back in town so we make up for that! Thank you, Randy! We look forward to eating your food again hopefully soon!“

Everything it it was great! The pork skewers were delicious. My favorite was the tripleta fries which came with three kinds of meat. A delight for carnivores! Would definitely go back.“

“I ordered Cowgirl fries and I'd say it's surprisingly good! I liked the flavor combination of fried crispy chicken with applewood bacon and fries. I don't usually eat jalapeño in my food cause I see them as 'decorations', but these ones actually gave a nice balance to fried chicken. Fried chickens were not dry nor burnt which I liked as well. By far the best food truck I tried among many my community managers had invited.Anyway, I didn't get to try their shakes this time but I'm down to get their food next time if I see them around UTC area. If you guys have any regular spots let me know.PS: well about the kiosk, I actually liked it better than ordering at windows. Sometimes I feel awkward to take time looking at the menu while people in the truck are waiting for me to order. No thoughts on the pricing tho.“

“Best hidden gem in Lakeside (or wherever it is)!!! This little truck has the very best grilled shrimp burritos and fish tacos EVER. We have lived in East County for over 25 years and sampled every grilled shrimp burrito and fish taco in a 15 mile radius. Promise- you will not be disappointed. We just had a party of 20 people who mostly just ordered the grilled shrimp burrito (ordered the day before) and they all loved it. It's a big burrito, so we always cut it in half and eat the other half for lunch.... And it's good COLD like a sandwich the next day. Sounds weird but it's literally just as good cold. We also got about 4 shrimp ceviche to share around. That’s good too. Oh and don't forget the chipotle mayo and green sauce! It is our Friday night regular stop on the way home after a busy week.Ambiance is just a parking lot but the little Hispanic market there also has the best no-name brand tortillla chips and fresh tortillas. So we shop while we wait for our food. So that's why we also line the ambiance!“

“Been here twice so far. The first time was just on a whim to find a quick bite to eat but I was astonished at how good it was I hyped it up to my wife to try. To make sure that it wasn't just because I was hungry that day and it was as I remembered I took her here, and I can confirm its honestly one of the best burrito/taco shops around.I can honestly recommend their California burrito to anybody and know that they'll enjoy it - not to mention it's hugeee. It's filled with carne asada, fries, pico and sour cream.Their crispy tacos are amazing and can recommend the shredded beef taco as a great addition to the burrito.The only downside is that their parking lot consists of 3 spots - 6 if you squeeze cars in and can be a bit of a hassle to park but it shouldn't discourage you from trying this place out.“

“My company treated its staff with a comp'd meal from the Groovy Greek Truck and I was not disappointed. I was impressed at how the employees handled the rush of hungry employees over the course of 2 hours. I ordered the lemon chicken. I am not sure how much it typically costs but I would assume it's a great value because it does come with a lot of food. My only food related note is the lemon chicken had no lemon flavor to it. The yellow glaze was a honey mustard, but regardless it still was very tasty. The rice, tzatziki, and salad had great value. Definitely left nice and full and sleepy for the rest of my workday!“

Zoe's Place Food Truck provided all of the food, for the 100s of attendees, mostly business professionals in the community!

They had different options, to appease different palates. They were timely and organized, especially to provide food for so many people! I saw smiles and satisfied tummys, all over the place! I highly recommend connecting with Zoe's Place for your next celebration. Cheers! Take care and God Bless!
