Marieta's El Cajon Mexican Restaurant in California

"I haven't been here in a few years and damn the food has gotten better. It wasn't bad before, but it wasn't memorable either. I thought it was just me, until my dinner companion also expressed how good the food was. I will be putting this place into the rotation."

"My friends and I came on Valentines day. We had a table of almost 20. The service was amazing and the food was on point. The server even split most of our checks with pleasure. We all had an awesome dinner and will be back."

"Great little restaurant. Been going there for years. Very friendly. Great drinks."

"@marietaselcajon has a super cute spot in the El Cajon area with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Don’t miss their happy hour or their Friday and Saturday special—order one appetizer and get the second half off! Plus, the appetizer portions are huge and absolutely mouthwatering."

"Only been here a couple times. Food is good, but presentation is lacking. Visually the plates are lacking, a little garnish goes a long way. My chelada style Budweiser is my favorite part of dinner, and the second is always better than the first. I will return to try other dishes. Chili Verde plate was good as was the steak and shrimp fajitas."

"This place has been a traditional family dinner location since childhood. It still has the same relaxed atmosphere and comfortable vibes it had back in the day. The food is excellent (Ranchero chicken burrito and Carne asada plate are favorites). Service is friendly and timely. The draft beer I ordered was massive! We will be back, same as we have been for years!"

"Great Mexican food. They always take care of my phone order. Customer service is great and very polite"

"I usually do taco shops but every so often you find a place that just seems to hit the right cues that make you want to eat there and the place did not disappoint! Good happy hour on drink specials and the atmosphere is that old school type of Mexican style that doesn’t go over the top but doesn’t give you less than you need. The main guy there is Manny and his service was top notch!! Attentive and welcoming! The food was DELIVERED!! I grabbed a simple carne asada taco because this type of taco will tell you be everything you need to know about the rest of the food options! It should be a simple taco but also a tasty one as well!! THIS DAMN TACO WAS SOOO GOOD the meat was tender juice and thick. The cilantro and onion was fresh and the side chips and salsa were the perfect pairing. I ate at the bar and it made the experience even better! Oh and the rice and beans were excellent! Not dry and stale like a lot of places! This would be a nice place for a date night because people think you have to go somewhere fancy to have a good time… you don’t!"
