Reviews for Downtown Cafe in El Cajon, CA
Good vibe, good service good food. I had the Bacardi lemon chicken and I loved it. Others in my group had the fish and chips and... cheeseburger and they were happy as well. Be aware they don't have any Blended drinks so if you ask for a margarita it's goingto be on the rocks. Read more
We got in just before the lunch rush it seemed that they were very understaffed. However the staff was very capable. The... service started slowing when many customers arrived. The food was great the prices were perfect for the time of day and manyspecials were available including drinks. Read more

My husband and I were there tonight, , they told us to pick our seat, so we did. We took two menu off a table near us. We were... there 35 min and no one acknowledged us after we were to to sit any where.Well the guitarist did say evening folks, but noemployee came over. We waited 5 minutes more and got up and left. It didn't bother me much, I was struggling to find anythingthat stood out to me on the menue.. Irritated that we had NO service at all the lack of variety from the menu seemed trivial. I've been there before and it was ok. Music was nice . But that's all. Read more
Omg so good this is the second time being here and the food and service is so amazing! Can?t wait to come back again
Steak Fajitas were so good and the Rib eye steak veggies with mash potatoes was so filling.
I took my friend to the Downtown Cafe for the first time in 5months because we had been traveling. We went during Happy Hour on... Sunday. Maritza our server was very pleasant and smiley as she took our orders and handled our every need. Scott the Bartenderalso did a great job making our cocktails to a delicious level. We ordered the Louisiana Chicken Tenders which came with verytasty coleslaw, and the BBQ Chicken Flat Bread, which was great. After we finished our meals we went outside and enjoyed twodifferent live musical group who were playing out in the Patio area. A very tasty, relaxing, and enjoyable evening at a veryreasonable price. Check this place out, you will not be disappointed. Read more
