And the best thing of all: the planes! We sat facing the air strip and between watching planes take off, helicopters flying overhead and the toy plane the waitress brought my son to enjoy while waiting for his food - it was nonstop entertainment. Will be back!!“

“I've been coming here for over 20 years. The owner is amazing and treats everyone like family. He is nearly always there and greets everyone with the biggest smile.They have THEE BEST salsa! It's homemade and has a perfect somewhat chunky texture. Because of the chunkiness it stays put and doesn't just pour through your burrito. Their salsa really is what sets them apart from some other taco shop.We all have our special places for certain Mexican food. This is my breakfast burrito place. I cannot (and would not) get a breakfast burrito anywhere else. I also love their carne asada and plain quesadillas. It's got a little crunch to the outside so it's not this limp tortilla with greasy cheese like so many places tend to serve. Another cool thing is they give you a choice between American and Mexican guacamole. I don't know another taco shop that gives the customer that option.They just really care about making the customer happy and making great food.Parking: Tons of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Handicapped spots are right in front of the restaurant and they have large front doors that are often open making it very easy to enter.“

If you’re looking for good beer this is the place, if you need fries with that beer they don’t have them. At least not the day I was there. Sorry dudes, step up the French fry game. You should actually get rid of everything on the menu and focus on French fries.“

“Been meaning to try this spot and finally got the craving for a bagel. I ordered a salmon bagel ($9.50) and my friend ordered two stuffed croissants ($6.50 each).Salmon bagel: on first glance I thought they robbed me but after my first bite I was pleased. It looked like they only gave me slivers of salmon, but they stuffed bits of it on the top and bottom piece. That thing was evenly blended with all ingredients. Only note is not much cream cheese but I’m biased because I’m a cream cheese addict lol. Would definitely recommendStuffed croissants: they did not look or taste the best. Both were Soggy mush in the center and crispy on the outside. Favorite parts were the burnt pieces around the thing, not a fan of the filling. The cheese reminded me of low quality mashed potatoes. Would not recommend.“

Corn on the Cob

“An affordable, local fruit bar with a wide array of options from smoothies to sandwiches is definitely hard to find. However, El Cajon definitely counts with Sweet & Green as one of their hidden gems. Not only is the service very friendly and accommodating, they are patient when a potentially clueless client such as me walks in. They offer a variety of custom food and drink options, all reasonably priced. They also offer Mexican snacks and candy--Mexican in brands, not themes (very important). I got the Meat Lover's sandwich, which was nicely toasted and had a large amount of meats that were neatly placed so every bite was consistent. Their corn in a cup was jam packed with corn--which most places unfortunately displace a lot of delicious corn and spices with water to increase profits. Their "Escamocha" was a delicious fruit salad with my choice of ice cream, which was the perfect ending. With three booth tables and a high top table, the overall mood is casual, friendly and relaxing. They always have music that is both catchy and great additions to your playlist. This place has become my "go-to" place for delicious, healthy snacks, a relaxing ambiance, or everything in between. Keep rocking!“
