50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in El Cajon

“Me and my partner were in a rush today but we also didn’t want to get fast food so we came here. The server KARINA immediately knew and rushed the food and got us to go boxes. She and the cooks were amazing. She helped in every way she could and had an excellent attitude about it. We’ve come here before and every time is an excellent time. Don’t forget to tip your servers they work really hard here and genuinely deserve it!!!“

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

“Never had a bad experience here. The staff are always super friendly and make you feel welcomed and take good care of us. This is our favorite no-frills, reliably good food, hole in the wall spot. Our son loves the food here too! Highly recommend“

“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.“

“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?“

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

“Our server Savanah was fantastic. Thank you Savanah, you made our evening.

We enjoy your restaurant ?“

Anniversary dinner here along with all our family mile stones: birthdays, wedding rehearsal dinners, etc. We love the staff, lovely people and family and the food is always great. We love the atmosphere; calm and private booths... they are family as far as we are concerned...“

“AMAZING FOOD!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! SO DELICIOUS!!!!“

“Been going there over 30 years.. Forget those chain pizza places, seriously, this place always feels like home when I go. That guy has heart, and his dough and sauce are on point! Keep it up Sam! Much Love.. I can't believe no one else has posted here till now.“

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

“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.“

“Me encanto el lugar que es muy familiar♥️“

“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“

“The Pistachio Latte was awsome and the cakes are great. Great new place.“

“Wow! Fresh made chips, all food DELICIOUS! The spicy cucumber margarita, don't miss this succulent beverage. Service was fast, prices were good. Bathrooms run down but reasonable. This is a big place so lots of cars in lot at weekend dinner and we still got right in. Yum!“

“great local sports bar atmosphere with variety of food and plenty of options for tv watching and drink options“

“I don’t even drink beer and this is my happy place“

“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.“

“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“

“Delicious breakfasts 😋 and good service“

“4/4/2022 My first time getting a pizza from here, and it was amazing! I look forward to trying other items as well.“

“Super delicioso 😋 super recomendado“

“It's so nice to be able to order for delivery without having to use Door Dash or Uber Eats or some other delivery service. I'm a truck driver, so I don't have an address to deliver to. But my pizza was delivered right to the truck. This pizza is fantastic. The crust has the perfect crisp. Plenty of cheese, and they put the perfect amount of each topping that they don't overpower each other. The price is very reasonable. I'll order here anytime I'm in the area.“

“Bistro Cajon is a hidden gem! The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a perfect spot for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. Their omelettes are simply divine—fluffy, flavorful, and generously filled with fresh ingredients. Whether you're a meat lover or prefer veggies, they have options to satisfy every palate. Pair it with a freshly brewed coffee, and you're set for a delightful morning. Highly recommend stopping by Bistro Cajon for a culinary treat!“

“People here have great attitude. Cook is cracking jokes as soon as you walk in. Carne asada fries where amazing and the portion was enough to feed one person and then some. Prices are also affordable. 15$ for carne asada fries is reasonable considering my the portion. Way better than Tapatíos who charged me 20$ for the same. Definitely recommend El Cotixan. Green salsa is mild and red is a little spicier. Great experience overall!“

“It’s been a while since I last visited Beef and Bun, but it never disappoints. Their burgers are always fresh and delicious, almost like they were made right at home. The patties are juicy, the toppings are just right, and the buns are perfectly toasted. If you’re looking for that classic burger taste, this is the spot.

Now, the shakes—they’re over the top. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, they’re the perfect treat to go with your meal. Whether you’re a fan of the classics like chocolate or vanilla or want to try something more adventurous, you won’t be disappointed.

The restaurant itself is on the smaller side. It’s clean and cozy, with just enough seating to accommodate a small group of 4 to 6. If you’re planning to dine in, keep in mind that space is limited. However, they do have a drive-thru if you’re in a hurry or prefer to enjoy your meal at home. Ordering ahead is a smart move, especially during busy times, to avoid the wait.

Overall, Beef and Bun is a solid choice when you’re craving a great burger and shake. It’s a small spot“

“I like the bean burritos.“

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

“very good food, blue tacos for the win“

“Beautiful people that own this place food was so so delish and veggies were fresh and crispy don’t like cabbage but the way they prepared it was out of this world!! Got try this place will not be disappointed I’m coming back for sure !!!

Parking: Big lot lots parking“

“Good Japanese restaurant! The Japanese food here was well-made and delicious. They have a pretty extensive sushi menu. However, I ordered the pork tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet), and it was one of the best katsu's I've ever had. Other components of the meal -- the gyoza, salad with ginger dressing, and the appetizer of chicken karage -- were tasty as well. The sushi was delicious too. We had the Alaska roll, tempura vegetable roll, and cucumber roll. The service was nice and attentive. I recommend this establishment if you are in the mood for Japanese food, sushi and non sushi.“

“Extremely generous portion sizes. My mom had the watermelon salad which was unique and refreshing, i had the french dip which is what i always order and is how i judge restaurants, and it was great. fries are amazing and the au jus is rosemary infused which made it delightfully fragrant but not over powering. and my mom’s espresso martini came in a chilled glass which is a nice touch. the bread was also hot and very good. oh plus excellent service! and i like that you can hear the live music but it’s not so loud. highly recommend (:“

“Fast and friendly service, Great tasting food my favorite is the honey walnut shrimp💜“

“Service was good. Food was fine, the prices were a bit high for a Denny's! Their hash browns are always tasty. Also, the manager is exceptional. She really understands customer service.
