50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants El Cajon

“Loved everything we got tonight, the chicken sandwich, pulled pork, amazing! So were the fried Mac and cheese balls!!!!“

“07/ 20 / 25 Food is good, the waiter that attended us did not know provided good customer service. We go there ones in a while and this is the first time that happened to us. First he never offered us water, the coffee were cold, twice we had to ask to bring us decaffeinated hot coffee, instead flour tortillas he gave me corn tortillas, another thing, in 20 minutes that we got there he gave us the receipt, he never asked us if we want to order another thing like any dessert or something , with that attitude we decided to not order dessert.“

“banana cream espresso was worth the 7$ so good“

“Awesome food. It never disappoints. You’ll be glad you came.“

“Maria was our cashier tonight and she was EXCEPTIONAL to say the least. From the moment we walked in she had such high energy. We were laughing and having a smile on our face for the whole ordering process. She came to check on us while we were at our table. We come from the food industry and I can wholeheartedly say she brought the best service we’ve ever recieved. Thank you Maria for the most memorable experience and for truly caring about your customers experience ❤️“

“I love the salad and sandwiches“

“Great place with great food and great service, will definitely come back!“

“Fresh and tasty food in a nice environment.“

“Loved Saturday, and Sunday breakfast at Gillespie Field. A great staff of folks, and a must visit if your only on vacation.“

“Great tasting food wonderful service“

“I have been going to Gyros House for years, and have never had a bad experience. It's my go-to for gyros, and (in my opinion) the best option in the Parkway Plaza food court.

The food is reasonably priced and amazing quality. The gyro meat is perfectly seasoned, hot, and tender. The vegetables are fresh and crisp. The pita is soft, warm, and flavorful. The sauces are perfect. The portions are big and very much worth the cost. The french fries are crispy and light, always hot and perfectly salted.

The customer service is incredible. The man who always makes my gyros always has a smile on his face and puts a smile on mine. Same with the woman who sometimes works the register. They are kind and helpful.

Very lovely people, very good food, great prices. Much better than the chain gyro places around.“

“My first time here and I will now go more often. I got the Godfather sandwich and it is filled with lots of meat and so flavorful. I also got a regular cannoli which actually tastes like a good Italian cannoli that.I was hoping for not just something stuffed with frosting. Everything was so delicious and the staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere is of a just down home cute, comfortable place. I will definitely be going back“

“I have eaten Vietnamese cuisine throughout California, and Grandpa Tao ranks among the best. In addition to the amazing tastes, the casual restaurant is friendly and comfortable. Ingredients are fresh, the environment clean and relaxing. I particularly recommend the Pho, the Rice Vermicelli (try it!) and the Shaking beef. You'll like it.“

“Guatemala coffee blend is reaaally tasty.“

“I ordered 5 Ground Beef Kabob Skewers , 5 Chicken Tikka Skewers, 1 chicken cream chop, 1 Shawarma Wrap, Rice, Hummus & Salad. Served with Pita Bread, Grilled So when I got home I find out there is only 4 Ground Beef kabob and 4 chicken Tikka And that was so embarrassing for me because I invited 5 people for lunch That was really bad experience“

“La Casitas Grill and seafood went above and beyond to support a local fundraiser the rice,beans, and fajitas were delicious. We can't thank you enough for not just feeding the community but being part of it. Great food served by wonder people. Thank you again and again.“

“Delicious!!! Line was long but well worth the wait. First time but definitely not my last. Great Customer service as well.“

“The food was great, service friendly and efficient! A fun place to go!“

“This place gets pretty busy on weekends! The parking lot may be full but you can still park along the street. It’s pretty large so there’s usually seats. I love the borracho fries, so good! Also the pulled pork and the cheeseburger are tasty too. The service is good as well. My one complaint is they run out of their popular items by 2pm, tri tip and hot links get sold out really fast. I know they can only bbq so much but maybe add some more of the popular meats?“

“Been coming here for years! They have the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried quite a few places around the area and they don’t quite hit just like this place does! Make sure you ask for fries instead of hashbrowns. It’s amazing. ?“

“Me encanto el lugar que es muy familiar♥️“

“Ever since, Sultan coffee has been opened I became obsessed with their coffee, and desert. Now, I can’t stop going the there, I fell in love with their pistachio latte, my mom was impressed with their coffee and tea, I also love their decorations I like to dine in there because it’s very relaxing to me.??????“

“Tried for the first time after seeing great reviews on Facebook. We got a Cafe Latte and an affagato. The coffee is smooth and delicious. The steak and potato burritos were a perfect size to fill you up. Will definitely be coming back and recommend this place to friends and family.“

“Всем рекомендую посетить этот ресторан и поесть суп "Pacha" из баранины.“

“Muy ricos los tacos de camarón de filete“

“El Cajon Bistro & Bakery
If you’re in the mood for a solid brunch with generous portions, El Cajon Bistro & Bakery is the place to go! The food is very good—fresh, flavorful, and definitely filling.

Whether you’re craving a classic omelet, pancakes, or something from their bakery, you’ll leave satisfied. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area!“

“Best bagels in San Diego county.“

“Thank u so much mike at Monavala Pizza for sponsoring Erin in the positive direction pageant she won jr miss San Diego central as well as miss congeniality with your generous support!!! She’s so excited to start giving back to the community“

“Testo Pepesto Italian Restaurant is centrally located on Main Street in downtown El Cajon. It is a great family-owned restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. Best pizza and pasta in El Cajon! They also bake their own tasty bread. Everything is absolutely YUMMY!!!“

“I like the bean burritos.“

“These stores are always very clean. The employees are friendly and they decorate beautiful fro-yo cakes. Everything seems to be run with the customer in mind! Great flavors and toppings too. With new Covid-19 orders, they exceed all requirements. Great job to their team!“

“Best chicken shawarma wrap I’ve ever had in my life, and the nicest people serving too! Definitely should try this food truck if you are downtown!“

“I wanted to get a head start on holiday traffic but still had to work on my laptop for a few hours and needed a little bit of quiet. This Starbucks is right off the freeway and has a conference room, which I didn’t expect. So if you’re on the go and need somewhere to work/WIFI, this location is great.“

“It was very easy to find and parking on the street, right in front. There was parking in the back but we didn’t use it. We found them on google and were able to peruse their menu prior to arriving. We had the large salad that was made by them after filling out a small order form with what you would like. The proteins were extra. I had the large salad and added egg and chicken. The serving was plentiful and the protein addition was hearty (4 ounces my guess). Two large salads (3 proteins total and two soft drink cans—under $40). My husband needed a restroom and they did not have one for public use. That was a drag. He had to go down the street to find one. The place was relatively clean and there were about 5 booths to choose from. The music was a bit annoying. Staff was friendly!“

“Good food, good service, fair prices!“

“Very nice people and the food is really good.“

“My baby girl loves Smoothies and we drive past everyday so figured today we should try it…& I’m so glad we did!! These smoothies are very yummy!! Baby girl drank all of hers and even wanted mine…. We will definitely be back for more soon!“

“We came here for the Baklava and Turkish delight. The honey Baklava was easily my favorite as it has a less harsh sweetness than the other kinds I tried. They were still amazing but the honey one just stood above the rest.
We also got a few kinds of Turkish delight the star definitely being the small rose ones that had wonderfully delicate rose flavor that avoided the pitfall of tasting like perfume.
For drinks we had the Pistachio late which sublime, perfectly roasted coffee and pistachio flavor. Also tried Mina's signature drink that was a rice pudding late with hazelnut flavor, it was very reminiscent of an horchata with different spices. I greatly enjoyed it.“

“My wife and I like it here. Have been here with daughters and sons in-laws. Have shared a table with a larger group of friends a couple of weeks ago where we were all taking advantage of happy hour. Five dollar tacos and cheeseburger. We did Taco Tuesday yesterday and had the fish and calamari tacos and took two Birrea tacos to go. Excellent tacos waitress did us well in the past and bartender took care of us yesterday.“

“Had a great brunch today with my daughter!“

“Good pizza!“

“My friend and I were looking for a bar and grill in El Cajon the other day and came across this place and I'm so glad we did! Food was so delicious, drinks were nice and cold AND they have a great happy hour selection! Definitely going back!“

“Fresh, juicy and flavorful, the perfect receipe.“

“love the food but also the atmosphere.“

“Okay, I am just calling what I saw, a hidden gem in Rancho San Diego! The server and gm knew the menu and were efficient in their service and demeanor A+. The food was fresh, nicely prepared, and presented. The food was very tasty and was beyond my expectations. My taste buds were pleased A. Ordered a drink, and it was well made A-.
