(This is literally the only place I've found that has carajillos on the menu.) Brussels sprouts are crisp but not greasy. I ordered a side of gyros and got a decent-sized portion. My hubby ordered a meat-free pizza for Lent, and was still happy with it. (They have gf and cauliflower crusts too, so !) We have both decided that this is the place for pizza in Santee. The weather is perfect in the spring for outdoor dining. There are shades for privacy since the restaurant's got grocery store traffic. The throwback rock music suits the establishment, and isn't too loud if you want a good convo. There are also lots of TVs both inside and out. Today's server, Lizzy, was so amazing! Super attentive, patient with questions, and quick to offer refills. And so relaxed and cheerful for a Friday afternoon! Thanks for a really nice dining experience, Lizzy!

Nah man, we don't need to return to Junction 52. It just wasn't very good. The price point didn't…read morehit either. We were seated on the patio. The NFL Wildcard game was on all the TVs, so that was a plus. We started with drinks. A pint of Buenaveza was $7, which is relatively normal pricing. But 9 bucks for a pint of Ashland Seltzer is crazy. 2 Spicy Chicken Deluxe Sliders $16 Pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, house sauce and shoestring fries. They were decent, but not even remotely spicy. Chicken was cooked well with crunchy exterior and not dried out inside. Zero spice. If anything, the sauce on them was sweet. 2 Double Double Wagyu Beef Sliders $18 American cheese (subbed pepper jack), grilled onions, house sauce and shoestring fries. Inedible. Two overcooked hockey pucks in a bun. Two bites were all I could stomach. 18 bucks for burnt burgers. The fries were good and plentiful. I appreciated the pickle wedge. Service was sluggish at best. At one point we had to flag down a different server and ask to have ours return. We had been waiting, with empty drink glasses, to order our meals. She was friendly enough, just not very attentive. Nah, don't need to return.

Jimmy's Breakfast Place is hands down one of the best breakfast spots I've been to. The food was…read moreabsolutely incredible -- fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Every dish that came out was hot, well-presented, and tasted like it was made with real care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. What really stood out to me was how clean the entire place is. From the tables to the floors to the restrooms, everything was spotless. That alone makes a huge difference when you're enjoying a meal. And the service? Top tier. Lupita went above and beyond. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. She made sure everything was perfect, checked on us at just the right times, and had such a positive attitude that it elevated the whole experience. Great food, clean environment, and outstanding service. I'll definitely be coming back -- and asking for Lupita again. Highly recommend.

Wow! Their menu instantly reminded me of Cheesecake Factory's menu...extensive. But honestly,…read morethat's not a bad thing because there are plenty of options. They have everything from hot sandwiches and cold sandwiches to salads, wraps, and even breakfast items. You can order at the counter or on the kiosk. I ordered on the kiosk. Simple and quick. I ordered the wild-caught salmon sandwich with salmon, arugula, and garlic aioli. The salmon was cooked perfectly. They were a little skimpy on the aioli, so the sandwich was kind of dry, but it was still good. I also got a side of fries, and those shoestring fries were nice and crispy. Prices are reasonable, and there's seating both inside and outside. Shout out to Crystal. I don't know if she's the manager, but she definitely cares about quality customer service. Someone ordered the Green Beret sandwich, and it was brought out on toasted bread when apparently it wasn't supposed to be. She immediately went to the counter and let the cooks know about it. She meant business, and I liked that.

We had to wave down a hostess. I ordered the avocado toast, copy and pasted from their menu, "Thick sliced artisan grain bread lightly toasted and topped with fresh avocado, two poached eggs, and "everything but the bagel" seasoning". It is NOT fresh avocado. We are in California, come on. It's literally pre-made guac, like those single serving guac packs, smeared on the toast. So not cool!

I ordered the potato roll tacos, a chicken flour quesadilla, carnitas tacos, and the super Cali burrito. That burrito... wow. The combination of carne asada and adobada is something I didn't realize I was missing out on. Easily one of the best burritos I've had. Everything tasted great, portions were solid, and the prices are very reasonable. This is officially my new favorite spot for Mexican food.

I cannot say enough about this awesome Mexican taco shop. They have a wide variety of Mexican food…read moreto choose from that tastes fresh, authentic, flavorful, and so darn good. I have yet to go inside the establishment and have only used the drive through due to convenience. One day, I hope that I will not be in such a hurry and can actually take the time to park and go inside to order, sit down, enjoy my food, and relax to feel the live experience. A family member wanted me to pick up an order of rolled tacos. I decided to pick the best place for that and surprise them by driving to "Bad Hombres" to pick up an order of 5 rolled tacos. Needless to say they loved them! They informed me it was now their favorite place for rolled tacos. I revealed to them the place was called "Bad Hombres" located in Santee so they would know in the future where to go. This is one of my favorite taco places to go. Everything tastes homemade like you are in someone's home being cooked for. This taco shop is always crowded because they put so much love and passion into the food. Next time you crave homemade Mexican food, you must try "Bad Hombres" in Santee, California because they are formidable!

We have been coming here for years. Phil's has the best bbq in San Diego! I love their pulled pork…read moreand their onion rings. They always have the friendliest staff too. The place gets super busy after 11:30 on Sundays (and many other times). I have waited outside for a half hour at their Sports Arena and former San Marcos location. We buy their barbecue sauce almost every time we are there! I am kind of a barbecue snob. Their barbecue sauce has the perfect balance of sweet and smokey. Also, they make regular cornbread- not fancy or spicy- just normal yummy cornbread. It's a big, lively place. This location is nice because they have a bar in the corner, and a separated room on the far end (like a giant sunroom). Even though you order and pickup at the front, there's staff everywhere to help out or get your more sauce!
