“Stopped in for a late lunch and witnessed the GM, Philip, handle an erratic and aggressive customer with calm and utmost professionalism. He apologized to us for the incident, although clearly he was not responsible for that person's rude behavior. We had delicious sandwiches and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. We WILL be back!“

“Really good food. Extremely attentive staff. Thank you for a wonderful 40th Anniversary dinner!“

“Had a great experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken! What really stood out was the amazing customer service from Diego. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.

Everything was clean and there wasn't that much difficulty finding seating.“

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

“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 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.“

“Me encanto el lugar que es muy familiar♥️“

“I love this place. I love many items on their menu. Here are few: Ribeye Tikka is amazing. Their Hummus and Falafel is so good, falafel is crispy. Their shawarma wraps and plates are so satisfying. Their house made chips reminds me of Baghdad Iraq. Fattoush salad is so good. And most importantly great service and people 🫶😊❤️“

“Amazingly consistent…Every bite feels like the result of years of perfecting balance and flavor. You can taste the care and craft that goes into every sandwich — from the fresh ingredients to the thoughtful layering. Whatever you order, it’s always just right. Truly a masterpiece in sandwich form.“

“This is really a hole in the wall just like in Mexico. The best food comes out of those places. The food is fresha nd hot and very good here. We love the tacos. I ordered the chilawuiles and didn't care for them they doused them in sour cream it jsut was not good. All the other food I have had was so good.“

“Had a great brunch today with my daughter!“

“Great tasting food wonderful service“

“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?“

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

“Very good food and very good service“

“Gyros House in El Cajon is a great spot for anyone looking for flavorful Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food at an affordable price. The restaurant is well known for its fresh ingredients, generous portions, and friendly service. Popular menu items such as the chicken shawarma, gyro sandwiches, and falafel are packed with flavor and served with warm pita bread and tasty sauces. Although the restaurant has a simple food-court style atmosphere, many customers enjoy the quick service and quality of the food. Overall, Gyros House is a solid choice for delicious and satisfying Mediterranean cuisine in El Cajon.

“I like the bean burritos.“

“I went to Hilltop Deli today for lunch for a standard (my basic) roast beef sandwich; roast beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, on sourdough. Not only was the sandwich on point, it came with my choice of side (I wasn’t expecting). It was all so good and I have no need for dinner tonight. Well worth the visit. Staff is A+, too.“

“Good food, good service, fair prices!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was looking for small business coffee shop and my co-teachers told me about Maria's Coffee Shop. I got a Iced Mazapan Latte and a chicken tamale! OMG they are both delicious. I couldn't take a picture of tamale because I ate too fast lol. Definitely recommended and will be back.“

“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“

“two times coming to Main Tap Tavern, and i’m loving the vibes it gives. It’s a great place to come too when unwinding after long day at work. I enjoyed the selection of drinks and also the customer service from the bar tender named Hector. He’s a really nice guy who’s attentive and goes above and beyond for customers to have a great experience. I will keep coming back for sure.“

“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!“

“Fun af. Partner went in. We’re gay. Really welcoming straight pool bar. Won 2. Lost 1. lol. For all you straight dudes…. Couple hot women. Nothing Special. Not a hook up bar. Have gone back several times. Clean. Parking great. Fair prices. Amazing pool players. Check it out.“

“This place is definitely a hidden gem in San Diego! This was my first time here and the service was incredible. The staff was incredibly sweet and were really fast with our order. The food was absolutely incredible, I got the Clubhouse Gourmet Sandwich with added avocado and it was insanely good! The veggies were incredibly fresh and they stuffed it up! Well worth the money, I was stuffed beyond relief. And their fruit milkshakes are incredible! Overall an incredible experience and I cannot wait to come back again!“

“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!“

“This spot is truly underrated and deserves more attention. I believe it’s a father and son who run this spot and everything we’ve ever ordered has been such good quality, generous portions, and they are such pleasant people who provide great service. They have a very large menu and again, everything my family has ordered here is amazing. We particularly love the birria which is so hard to find in east county and it’s perfect every time. Give this place a chance so we don’t lose possibly the best Mexican food in El Cajon!“

“muy rica la comida, muy buena atención y excelente chef“

“Oh my goodness, this place is really top notch for your wildest sugary dreams. the smell once you walk inside draws you into wanting to try everything, the pastries look delicious and very fresh and the service was top tier. The lady whom served us was literally the best and overly kind and helpful as it was me and friend’s first time visiting. 100/10 would recommend and will come back soon!!“

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

“Hi 👋 soon as you walk in this place you feel hospitality and the welcoming.
This place is very clean they deserve a golden A if they don't already have it.
They have the best pistachio coffee I ever had.
I leave 2 hours away I would love to have it every day.
I will definitely go back when I visit San Diego.“

“My first time here. I got to visit with Paul the bartender who has been here 21 years. I got to meet Gabriel, one of the owners and Kaitlyn one of the servers. Look, I travel the southwest for work and really enjoy a local place. Apparently this locally owned bar and grill has been here since 2002. The chief since the opening, Paul since 2004. Great feel and super hard workers. Just a great vibe and reasonable prices. I highly recommend. Enjoy…“

“Highly recommend. Great to work with, planned entire menu from out of state. Everyone loved the food. Staff went above and beyond.“

“I think Prinkipia is one of the best in flavor of fruity fro-yo in the area. Pomegranate, mango, watermelon are my kid’s favorite. The thing they could improve is they need to keep the toppings in closed single mini containers so they won’t dry out especially topping like mochi which would turns hard when you let it sit in open container for a long time.
For service, well it’s never a big deal to me as long as they weight the stuff and ring the price right.“

“I tried Starbuck's cortado for the first time. It was pretty good. It tasted very good and was smooth. It was just a little heavier on the foam than it should have been. Actually, it should not have had the foam.

I liked the cortado, and I really liked the friendly service at this location. The employees were not shy about having a good conversation. This location has a drive thru and plenty of inside seating. It's good for larger groups. The store was very well organized and clean.“

“Best bagels in San Diego county.“
