Absolutely delicious and authentic home made food. The owners have worked in the resurant industry for years and came here from Mexico City. Family run, great service and fantastic food. A customer told me best tacos in town, while he ordered 5. He was shocked to learn they have only been there a year and said "Why am I just now finding this place, it is great!"
Honestly, I'm so disappointed in this restaurant. 1st experience was bad, I was overcharged, and the cashier had a very bad attitude. 2nd experience was even worse. Different cashier, also had a horrible attitude. I always smile and have manners with everyone I come in contact with, even when I'm being treated wrong, I still maintain my posting attitude because it's who I am. All I know is that misery loves company, and these cashiers have 0 customer service skills. If the prices on the menu don't match what we are being charged, there is an issue that obviously needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
Time for another Random taco shop. This one replaced another shop at this location and can easily be overlooked as another very popular taco shop really close. This spot is definitely worth it.
The food:
Their Gorditas are next level addiction quality and the Pambazo is something you just don't get at other taco shops. The menu offere what you expect from a taco shop but also food you usually see at a Mexican restaurant.
The food is quality home style mexican/Hispanic cooking. This doesn't feel like high volume taco shop. This feels like you came home and mom made you dinner.
Price: average pricing and average portion size, the value is the quality.
The Vibe: one of the closest to TJ/Mexico style location this side of the border. Lots of decoration, lots of culture amd backstory, I felt very comfortable there.
Staff: not so much of staff as family of the owners I would guess. The 2 kids working hard at the shop and taking pride in their business is not something you see I. Corporate America these days.
Location:
easily missed as it's tucked away in a small business strip with a very narrow parking area. Easy enough to get in but a little complicated to get out of.
Wrap up: I will be back on the regular, I would bring a date here, I would bring family here. This is a small business I think was great and worthy of praise.
Authentic Mexican food. More than just a taco shop, their breakfast is delicious.
Better than SILVAS rude service, The food is really good here, first time I was there people are really nice and the burritos are good size, I think it is better than Silva's
Yummmm sooo goood! Al Pastor tacos all day. Friendly considerate service. Parking lot available. Great El Niño drinks (Jamaica, Horchata, Tamarindo). Def recommended.
This tacos are so good and the workers are so nice and the place is so clean and I love it and everything here is good.
Good food. A little on the pricey side but good quality of food. They made my burrito fresh i like that you could taste the difference. Only down fall is no drive thru. Otherwise would be all 5s.

Huge portions of fresh & mouth watering dishes. Come here once and you will be here all the time. Customer service is as high excellence as the food.

Staff was pleasant and helpful. I generally order a bean and cheese burrito from any new place I try because if the beans are good then the other items are also. They delivered a great burrito. A little out of the way to stop by but worth the drive.
Great little hideout for lunch or dinner. Good hot food. Fast service. Cashier was a little off-putting, no greeting or no smiles. But served food fast.
I just discovered the California Shrimp Burrito and it was amazing. Their food is always fresh and delicious. The employees are very friendly and the restaurant is clean and bright. Best Mexican food in East County. Definitely worth a try you wonâ
The tortas are delicious! We also tried the daily special of carnitas in salsa verde. The hot sauces are bomb, I would come back just for the 5 different types of sauces. We can't wait to come back and try something else!
I decided to try this shop again and it has definitely been elevated. I like the signage in the window that they added and I love that they kept the original paintings on the inside. Those have always been a special part to this building no matter th
Los Chavos in El Cajon is a total win! Wheelchair accessible, super kid-friendly, and parking's a breeze. The Beto Crunchy Burrito is a taste sensation â carne asada, fries, sour cream, pico de gallo, and 2 rolled tacos all in one. Perfect for taco
Wow! Been going to Shadow Mountain Church for few years and never knew there was this place here. Stopped and tried it today prices are reasonable food is amazing and portions are huge. Will definitely stop by again.
A great place for a lunch break. The food is grand and large for the filling. Great service and tasty food for the filling. Enough space for a gathering of friends and family. Dining in and dining out available. Check out this spot for some good food

Must go, or order online to go or delivery!
As a pet parent to 3 cats and a dog this was absolutely heaven for me. So many different brands of high quality foods and toppers and so much raw variety! Both ladies were super friendly and so helpful! Definitely coming back!
Not to compare the two, but if you were looking for sort of a local In N Out type burger but upgraded slightly then this is the spot! Burger is extremely delicious and will season has a good amount of char but is thin and thick enough at the same tim
Good food. Huge portions. You can problably share. Excellent service even when they are busy. I will go again and I recommend this place. Older cafe style with character.
WHAT IS BONNY'S CAFE?
A homestlye diner with oldies nostalgia and background music with a plethora of good homecoming meal choices from breakfast omelettes to pork chop dinners.
Closes at 2 PM. I arrived on a Saturday at 1245 PM and was not rushed.
Wonderful experience! If you can find the parking, there wasn't much of a line inside even though they were still packed. They could use a little help directing traffic in the parking lot, but that may be out of their reach and more on the shopping c
