New American Restaurants in El Centro, CA

“We had our Valentine's Day dinner yesterday at Johnny Carino's and it was wonderful night. We've always enjoyed our visits to Johnny's Carino's but yesterday was the best time. Even though the restaurant was packed, the staff had a smile and the restaurant energy was electric. The food was served hot and delicious. Thank you Johnny Carino's for making our Valentine's 2024 memorable!!!“

“So, my friend Brooke and I (we have been good friends for about 10 years now) were going on a road trip from Scottsdale AZ to SD CA. The weather was blistering hot (about 106 out) and our AC was broken in the car and Brooke was crying. I had the brilliant idea of getting blizzards!!!! So we tracked down the nearest DQ and ended up at the imperial valley mall in El Cento. Brooke and I love going on road trips together and she usually doesn't cry, but I understand where she was coming from because of the high temps outside. On a previous road trip we tried to go to a different DQ but google maps steered us wrong :( I digress. So anyway, we pulled into the imperial valley mall parking lot and didn't see the Dairy Queen!! We called and the store manager gave us precise directions to get there by walking through JC Penny and then it was four stores down from that! We got there and the service was excellent and the ice cream was chill :) Contrary to CJ's post: 10/10 would recommend to all friend's and family. PS- If you like pizza, Mod Pizza is good too.“
