I appreciated the convenience of being able to enjoy their fantastic cuisine from the comfort of my car. I'll definitely be returning for more tasty meals in the future!"“

“New to town and tried this place. It was really good. I've tried several different items and liked all of them. The location by the courthouse is just the right size that you can eat and have a conversation.

Parking: The lot is kind of bumpy like just about every other lot in town because of the heat of summer.“

“Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? Our family FINALLY ventured out to try The Burrito Factory tonight. My husband and I ordered the California Surfin and the Factory Burrito (which we split so we each could try half) and our girls tried the bean & cheese burrito and quesadilla kids meals. Everything was outstanding! I almost didn’t get to try the Factory Burrito because their burritos are the size of a newborn baby (kidding of course) and after half of the California Surfin, I was stuffed but I just had to try it and we were not disappointed. Customer service was phenomenal. I didn’t catch her name but the lady at the window was friendly and welcoming even though the line out the back was insane. Truly can’t say enough. We’ll be back soon and thank you!“

“Excellent Service and Great Food“

“(Translated by Google) It is a spacious and very clean place, and on each of the tables there is a bottle of disinfectant gel, the waitress wears a face mask, if there is a healthy distance, the cashier is very attentive, you can tell when an employee makes a difference, a delicious flavor of the sauces.(Original)Es un local amplio y muy limpio, y en cada una de las mesas existe una botella de gel desinfectante, la mesera usa cubrebocas, si existe la sana distancia, la cajera muy atenta, se nota cuando un empleado hace la diferencia, un riquísimo sabor de las salsas.“

“Spicy Huevos Rancheros hit the spot. Love the taste, service, and atmosphere. Food presentation was unique… two eggs on top of fried tortilla along with a sides of home fries and beans. Cafe de Hoya was great!

Will come back for more in the near future.“

“First of all, the place is neat! I've been there a few times; the first two times I was on my lunch and had enough time to go back in less than 30min, meaning, they're FAST. I took my niece last time I went, she's a picky eater and she loved it. The food is really tasty, they're fast and also very nice to their customers, the place is always clean, and also really pretty and perfect for the IG's pictures. I totally recommend it.“

“Hubby and I had a wonderful breakfast here. We have odd food intolerances (gf, night shade free and vegetarian) and easily found options on the menu. We love supporting family businesses and quirky places and Cecilia's ticks those boxes.Cecilia, who started the business with her husband in 1994 is still running the restaurant, and her, along with her twin sister and cousin gave us great service and conversation.“

“I have been going to Roes’s plain foods for about 20 years and since they have moved to El Centro California, it makes it even easier for me to get to some outstanding Mexican food. The service is outstanding. The food is off to hook. Every chance I get, I will tell anybody in Yuma Arizona how good this food is, that is where I travel from just to get some good authentic Mexican food.“

“This is my second time at Junior's Cafe. My favorite dish is the biscuits ad gravy. The biscuits have this delicious subtle sweetness to them that merges perfectly with their homemade white gravy. It is a meatless dish, which never happens (vegetarian). You can add meat to it for an additional uncharge. The gravy and biscuits are the best I have had so far in life. I combine it with a side of hashbrowns. The tea was freshly made. Junior is on hand and welcomes you with a smile and sense of family.Junior's Cafe...a hidden gem in El Centro. Stop and get your daytime fix.

Vegetarian options: See above

Parking: A few up front spaces but parking in the back is plentiful. You may also enter the restaurant through the back door.“

“Great service, staff very friendly & clean. Food is good.“

“The best of central California! The truth is that I have eaten in several Mexican restaurants and this is the best, the stew tacos are delicious like at home, and the roast beef tacos don't even tell the truth if you only go to Mexicali for tacos, save the line, this place is excellent, neither I am their family and they don't even pay me for this. The truth is, their food is delicious and the place is very clean and beautiful. The staff is very friendly. Thank you for your service!!!“

“You have to eat here! The ambience is amazing. More TVs than in the electronics store and there's sports everywhere. The service was also very good. Very nice, polite, attentive.
The food was also very tasty.

Always worth a trip!“

“todo sobre todo las ensaladas y las quesadillas con avocado ricas con chipotle todo lo que quiera comer y sobre todo buen servicio y atención y limpieza y la barra de salsas todo muy bueno y limpio“

“Excellent Service and Great Food“

“We had raspados which were so tasty. The woman behind the counter was so nice and I felt that her job was super hard since 1) the 4th St. traffic sounds at the ordering window are very loud making it hard to hear what people were ordering, and 2) there was a huge black pickup in the drive through lane that was BLASTING music with such loud bass that you could see his truck vibrate and the idiot driver did not have the sense to turn the volume down until it was HIS turn to order. I don’t know how the drive through can operate like that, and i don’t know how the front counter woman could hear anyone’s order, but she did and she was very friendly besides.“

“Hi. You Can Pick- up Your Brown Bag Cookies at Johnny's in El Centro! Thank you ! Have you had your Cookies Today?“

“Went through the drive through yesterday(8-3-23, about 5-6pmish)The cashier was so kind and respectful.The food came out quick and accurate. When I got home and opened the box I got way too happy about how neatly wrapped it was as well as the food inside the wrapper. Whomever you have working in the food assembly at that time give them a raise! Seriously it's so refreshing. Also I had to use the restroom after I got my food so I parked and went in. Bathroom was impeccably clean. Good job taco bell on imperial Ave y'all really made my day better ?“

“They always serve us very well, the only difference is that they should have someone who speaks Spanish well, for people who don't speak English, I had to see what a person couldn't order and the boy told him that he didn't speak Spanish...“

“Exactly what you expect from a del Taco. Quick service and consistent food. Not remarkable, but better than other franchise brands.Be realistic. You don't go to Del Taco for table service and upscale dining. We all go for an inexpensive bag of passable food to fill bellies on a budget, quickly.Expect that and you won't be disappointed.“

“Mal servicio de los meseros estuve esperando 30 min I no me decían orita le damos mesa ni nada mejor me pare I me fui con mi familia a otro lugar“

“Try the new country Fair lemonade! They have lemonade, strawberry lemonade and cherry lemonade made with real lemons and strawberries or cherries! Also they are currently 25% off! Not to mention the cup is big too! Definitely a must try on a hot day in the valley that ends with a Y!“

“Quick fast friendly service and great menu. Easy to find and park.“

“great for, at great prices, friendly staff and fast service.“
