“George (the owner) and his staff were incredibly hospitable and source food consciously. The baba ghanoush and falafel were INCREDIBLE, even by comparison to dishes I've had while travelling in the middle east. Highly recommend to anyone visiting San Diego! Well worth the drive from down town (better quality, better price). Bonus for LOTS of vegetarian and vegan options.“

“I had to citrus chicken. It was amazing. This chicken was tender and juicy. It came with rice, beans and a small salad. The beans were seasoned wonderfully, and the taste was delicious. The rice was fluffy and seasoned, and the salad with the light dressing was great. I enjoyed it very much. The service was wonderful. The staff were professional and upbeat. They they were smiling all throughout the service. They had the music going and the place was very clean. They attended you quickly, you go up to order at the bar and as you're going across you can see the delectable desserts. I purchased the Mojito tart dessert which was refreshing. I enjoyed it very much. My experience was simply divine because the atmosphere and the restaurant are inviting. I definitely enjoyed my company, and will be back to this restaurant again to try some of their other delicious foods and desserts.“

A little on the greasy side but still pretty good. Had to wipe my hands after each bite. There was a Serrano pepper in my burger which made it super spicy. The clam chowder was perfection. Service was wonderful. Definitely coming back.“

Señor Wooffle Food Trucks • $
3030 Grape Street, San Diego

“I ordered Cowgirl fries and I'd say it's surprisingly good! I liked the flavor combination of fried crispy chicken with applewood bacon and fries. I don't usually eat jalapeño in my food cause I see them as 'decorations', but these ones actually gave a nice balance to fried chicken. Fried chickens were not dry nor burnt which I liked as well. By far the best food truck I tried among many my community managers had invited.Anyway, I didn't get to try their shakes this time but I'm down to get their food next time if I see them around UTC area. If you guys have any regular spots let me know.PS: well about the kiosk, I actually liked it better than ordering at windows. Sometimes I feel awkward to take time looking at the menu while people in the truck are waiting for me to order. No thoughts on the pricing tho.“

“Great spot, I have been coming here for years and the food and service is always excellent. I have eaten here at breakfast, lunch, and dinner times, and the whole experience is always pretty spot on. The inside of the restaurant is nothing fancy, But if you are going out to eat, it is because you want good food and good service, and Elijah’s delivers both.Bonus: They are open on most major holidays from my understanding. I have eaten here on holidays such as fourth of July, thanksgiving, and christmas day and they have been open.Total .“

The staff is always nice to me here and always has my food ready when I come to pick up my items. Would definitely recommend this small business!“

“I would have given five stars across-the-board if not for one issue. They are understaffed. The waiter was much too busy for the number of tables he had, and while we definitely don't mind waiting, my mother started having a bad coughing attack, and he still hadn't brought any water to the table after 20 minutes. I went to the bar to ask for water because she was having a hard time, and he didn't listen to me, he just kept saying “in a minute, in a minute” when I insisted I just needed a water quickly for her. I had to rush across the street to get some water for her. Eventually he brought over our beverages, but not a water for her.  That being said, the food was delicious, and definitely worth the value . They just need some help.“
