Salsa was tasty and ran legit hot. Yummy marinated carrots 🥕 onions 🌰 jalapeño + peppers 🌶.
Good counter service, seemed family run. I left happy and definitely feel full!“

“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.“

“I had ordered a meal to go for my lunch break and realized I had more time and that I could sit down. I asked if I could and the servers/owner said yes yes,and bought me a plate and helped me pour my food in a plate rather than eating out of the to go box. I thought it was very sweet! I was very grateful she helped me feel not rushed to eat my food. And she was right it taste a lot better in a plate than a to go box’s“

“Went with a group of people, we were seated in a tight space bellow the bar.
Food is always excellent and service was on the spot. Had combo plate with
Tacos 🌮 and cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. Wife had two 🌮 rice and beans. Place is always busy but the staff makes you at home.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Super nice people dident take long to have my order ready I made a post on fb looking for a big pizza and a bunch of friends recommended this place I’m happy I gave it a try my family is happy and we only finished half the pizza it was perfect thank you for your service 🙏🙏🙏🙏 will be back soon I posted pictures of the after lol thank you guys“

“El cajon trash working at this restaraunt!!!“

“Been coming here every Sunday for about a year now. Every single time I come in, all of the staff are amazing and kind people. Liz and Ryan are always super kind and ask me how things are going and always find a way to make me smile before leaving. The entire crew that works here are amazing people and deserve the best!“

“Can't add a photo, ate the order too fast! Gonna admit, I grew up with these kinds of outdoor taco shops, so I lovvve the tiled tables/seats, and that hot wind from the road stings a bit on the eyelids- It makes the food better. Idk why. Anyways. Absolutely LIT beef burritos and rolled tacos, and the California Burrito had CRISPY fries!! The cheeseburgers are also a great value, very inexpensive and fresh!“

“What an awesome find! The meat, veggies, and fresh bread all come together to make an incredible steak sandwich.

My only regret is that I’ve lived here for 35 years and somehow never stopped in—but that officially changed today! I was warmly greeted by the owner, Ronnie, and ordered the classic Philly steak. It was absolutely delicious.

I still can’t believe it took me this long to discover this place, but I’ll definitely be back. Great food, friendly service, and a welcoming local spot that’s definitely worth checking out!“

“We first started coming here a year ago and its consistently been one of our favorite spots whenever we visit San Diego. The lahmajeen and egg/ kofta/ tomoato dish are my go-to's. Can't recommend this place enough! The owner is also very sweet and friendly.“

“We went a bit late around 9 and everyone was so nice and amazing food .wings were amazing . Pizza on point . The salad bar was stocked and filled . Very clean . The workers were so friendly also they even gave my daughter a little stuffed whale it was so adorable . They didnt care that she was running around enjoying maybe because we where the only ones there expect one other family but over all amazing I dont leave review but I had to for this place 🥰“

“Can't praise this place enough from Oyster Wednesdays to Tgif happy hour or just any time! Quality of food exceptional, priced just right & all the staff does everything right... the food, service, cleanliness & comfort.
Crazy enough my favorite spot to decompress even with my kids“
