“What a wonderful place to have brunch in Hillcrest across from the farmer’s market in Hillcrest. In the back of AWOL, so cute! The food was great and such friendly staff. The house potatoes and the homemade salsas were amazing. We will definitely be back and tell all our friends.“

“Great breakfast and superb drinks“

“My 10yo daughter and I had breakfast here and we were very happy. We got eggs, bacon, pancakes and my daughter said it was SUPER YUMMY ?. I thought they were one of the best pancakes I’ve ever had and I didn’t even put syrup on them. I also got an iced mocha and loved it! Definitely recommended for kids and adults. The vibe is chill like a typical diner. We’d definitely come back.“

“The restaurant is very intimate but still has that diner feel to it. I brought my daughter here for a breakfast date and they were very accompdating when she asked to switch seats so she could sit next to me.

I ordered a caramel machiatto, bacon, eggs, and a Nutella waffle. My daughter had an M&M pancake and bacon. I got a to go order for my husband and he got the Kobe and a French toast with Nutella.

The presentation was beautiful. You could tell they slowed down to make beautiful lines of nutella on the waffle. The waffle was crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside; just how it should be! The bacon was crunchy and fresh and the eggs were soft and fluffy. My caramel machiatto was one of the best I've ever had. There was caramel milk foam on top that was to die for.

My daughter had 1 pancake and I'm glad the waitress told me they were huge because she wanted two. She ate half of it because the pancake was the size of the plate so she's taking the rest home. This would be a good option to split if you had kids who wanted the same flavor.

There is ample parking since there are many different businesses located near it. Which is nice since parking is something that is always lacking in San Diego

I would recommend that you stop by

Kid-friendliness: There were single people, couples, and people with kids!“

“Very good food 👌 Quick and their senior mini omelet hit the spot!“

“platillos económicos y desayuné mega ricooooo“

“We tried the Burrito, and I had the Fish Soft Taco, which I loved. However, the beef bowl with avocado, beans, rice, peppers, and tomatoes in this shop, it felt like too much going on flavor-wise. On the bright side, we enjoyed the delicious pineapple juice. The server is nice and I asked to get another Juice and he said pay after when we are done, he told me next time. Thank you for the treat! Overall, it was a good experience at Roberto’s Taco Shop in Santee.“

“Been waiting for my food for about an hour at this point. Other guests have been seated served and left already while we still wait on our order. We've asked and have been given no time estimate of when the food will arrive.

Update: got my food, carried to my room so we could eat while getting ready for the rest of the day. Food is ok. Steak was overcooked. The waitress was kind and sympathetic.

Update 2: day 2, service is still great. Atmosphere is the same of course. The food was actually really good even if it took a while yesterday. Might update the stars from 1 to more depending on how it goes!“

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

“Had a great brunch today with my daughter!“

“Great food and service. We didn’t have to wait. We were seated right away and I food came out quickly.“

“Food was good. I was able to get a nice, very full, 3 egg white omelet with spinach mushroom tomatoes and a pretty topping of Avocado slices.
(The old cholesterol needs to come down, so it was my best bet)
Decent size fruit cup.
Didn't have that "cooked on a grill with layers of grease from a hundred other breakfasts" taste.

Also added the Fluffy French Toast, which seems to be my "latest craving - could eat it anytime food." (I cheated. Just half the slice)

And the bread is "fluffy!" At least the size of 2 big slices of regular bread. Different & good.

I loved my waitress, Lizzie. She had the sweetest smile and was very attentive to our table and extras we would need.

The menu looks newer and it's a nice upgrade they did. Also, a nice change from eating at another
Diner favorite a lot.

This IHOP on North Second Street/Oakdale, El Cajon, is my favorite one & I would recommend it.
It can be noisy when the kids are eating, but, hey, so is Disneyland!“

“Came here on a Sunday morning for breakfast and had great service from Carmen. She was friendly and attentive - 5 star service.

However, I came here craving the turkey sausage I usually get from IHOP and was extreme disappointed when I was told this location doesn’t offer it- only turkey bacon. Would love to see a bit more consistency with the chain. In my opinion, that a benefit of eating at a chain - knowing you can get your favorites no matter where you go.

Overall, I have a good experience dining here, mainly due to Carmen, but the food was good as well.“

“I had lunch with two of my Medicare clients to discuss 2025 plans. I tried the Fish and chips for the first time. They were delicious! The fish had the perfect amount of batter, and the fries were crispy and tasty.

Parking: I had no issues finding a place to park.“

“My husband and I had breakfast here last week, and the service and food were excellent!! We were greeted within a few minutes of being seated by our waitress. She was very friendly and efficient. My eggs were not cooked quite right, and they immediately made them correctly, without hesitation. The biscuits with cream cheese filling and strawberries were absolutely outstanding!! This was the best breakfast and service I've had from Ihop ever!!“
