    Soooo good! Went there twice in our five day trip. The sides look to be pre-done and they heat them up once ordered, and the meat is cooked fresh. Everything we tried (especially the steak and the salmon) was delicious, and the cheesecake desserts were a must. Also tried the mango drink and the lavender Jamaica, both very good.

    Tuscan Salmon with chips
    Shay S.

    I have been coming here for the past few years and today I conducted business at UPS store near Crafted Greens and decided to go get a late lunch. Parking wasn't bad today. I was able to get a parking spot right in front. When I walked in I was greeted immediately by 2-3 staff. There was no line and I placed my order of the Tuscan Salmon sandwich, chips and carrot cake. I always add white cheddar and request that my salmon be prepared well done. I love that the food here is cooked to order! I went and sat down waiting for my order and decided to look at the loads of food that has been precooked but once you order it it reheated on the flat grill. I wish that the food was covered rather than exposed but otherwise it looks delicious! I observed people people sitting outside enjoying their meals. I love Crafted Greens because it is a healthy option and gives that home cooked flavor.

    Homemade potato chips with homemade hummus

    Captain's Log, Stardate 21479 This past Thursday, I set my coordinates for Crafted Greens in El Cajon, marking my first voyage to this culinary outpost. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this establishment is a beacon of quality where customers are treated like royalty--kings and queens among the stars. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Faris, an amazing man who takes tremendous pride in his craft, much like a captain leading his crew through the final frontier. His dedication to providing exceptional service elevated the entire experience, making our meal feel like a delightful exploration into flavor worthy of the finest missions in Starfleet. As my wife indulged in an extraordinary salad, I embarked on a journey with one of the best burgers I've encountered in my culinary travels--crafted from Wagyu beef. The flavor was nothing short of a cosmic explosion in my mouth, a continuous burst of taste that was akin to discovering new life and new civilizations. Ordinarily, I would enhance a burger with condiments, but this masterpiece was prepared so well, it left me thinking, "I'm a doctor, not a condiment technician!"--it was superb, worthy of the finest dining experiences in the galaxy. During our meal, the jolly owner Faris made his rounds, transporting himself to our table with a smile, sharing complimentary in-house made chips paired with his heavenly homemade hummus. Now, as a traveler who has sampled hummus across the cosmos, I must admit that I am not typically a fan; however, this unique creation captivated my taste buds and transformed my perspective. It was certainly not illogical to enjoy such a delightful surprise--if only Spock were here to analyze this! If you ever find yourself drifting through El Cajon with a hunger for healthy sustenance or simply wish to try something new, Crafted Greens is the place to be. This is a destination I foresee haunting for many moons to come--ready to boldly go where no flavor enthusiast has gone before! Live long and prosper. End log. Captain 619

    Tomato basil soup (cup)
    Sonia V.

    It seems like a rare thing to get actually healthy food anywhere in a decent portion. Although the flavor of the food here isn't out of this world, I rate it a 4 b/c you can make some pretty healthy options and plenty of it. The staff were really kind and quick for service. It was weird that you can't get a salt/pepper grinder at your table so a little annoying to have to run up and ask for those things. I will say, avoid the tomato basil soup -- tastes like nothing. No flavor. Everything else was fine. Vegetarian options available as well!

    We enjoyed our food and received great service. What I really like about this place is the quality of the food. The greens are organic, they cook with olive oil and avocado oil and the food is very good. The serving sizes are generous. Burger was great, salad and the sautéed mushrooms all very tasty. I will definitely be back.

    Spicy Asian salad
    Jean S.

    If I could eat here every day- I would. This was my first time and I'm bummed it's not closer to where I work and Live. Every bite of my Spicy Asian salad was phenomenal. How can a SALAD be that good!?!? But it was! It was so flavorful and fresh! They also have flatbreads and sandwiches which I can't wait to try! Goooo try this place!

    Chimichurri Grass-Fed Steak
    Riley W.

    This was such a hidden gem!! The overall vibe of the place is so positive and natural which I loved. The service was wonderful - everyone was attentive and kind with great recommendations. I think I could eat the Chimichurri grass fed steak sandwich daily. We also had the ahi tuna melt and it was insane! The only thin we didn't love were the balsamic Brussels. They were heavily coated in the balsamic vinegar and it was a tad strong for us. We will be back!

    I've enjoyed their food due to the mass variety of healthy fixings. We're greeted as soon as we walked in the door. A young lady behind the register was very informative and helpful with the recommendation. I liked this chilled vibes atmosphere inside and outside dining. We tried a few different dishes and sides. I was pleasantly surprised how "CLEAN" their restroom looked and smelled! As for their foods any dish you choose weren't a disappointing. I definitely recommend them and we'll be back.

    It's late Saturday and I'd normally order a pizza for delivery but threw myself a curveball and ordered a salad?, YES! This was not just a healthy choice but this salad was straight up delish. We had the Asian w two proteins ( Salmon, steak). Both cooked perfectly which can be tricky for delivery. Normally, I'd take lots of photos but for this review, one is just perfect.

    Healthy? Check. Delicious food? Check. Great price point? Check. Plethora of selections? Check. Friendly and welcoming? Check. You are truly missing out on this spot. There's a reason it's always busy. Fresh food and just yummy. You can order a plate, salads or sandwiches . The owner is a really nice guy, usually comes around and asks how it's all going. The employees are really nice and attentive too. I wish I lived closer but when in the area for my pilates class I always make it in.

    The best place to eat in El Cajon, hands down. I love everything on their menu, from flatbreads, salads, plates, and their sandwiches. Their dessert options are extensive and delicious. They never miss! The service is phenomenal and they all work so well together. The owner is so down to Earth and checks on everyone. Good amount of seats inside and out.

    Wagyu Grass-Fed Cheeseburger
    Rana N.

    We've been coming here since they first opened, and they have never missed once. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Their juicy sandwiches are absolutely delicious, the mac & cheese is rich and comforting, and the sweet potatoes are perfectly done every time. The chimichurri sandwich is a must -- packed with flavor and just so satisfying. What really makes this place stand out is the consistency and the quality. No matter what we ask for, they're always happy to accommodate, and you can truly taste the freshness in every bite. Hands down, one of the best healthy spots to eat -- amazing food, great service, and always a great experience

    If you're a fan of coconut, do yourself a favor and get the 7 layer bar like yesterday. Anyway I finally got to try this place and it was great, about like $23 for a plate with a protein of your choice & two sides. Everything just tasted so good and fresh. Mushrooms were nice & juicy but can definitely use some salt, and that tender steak gets cooked upon order. The Mac & cheese was okay, kind of a gritty texture and not really smooth but it's fine. Definitely a good post workout meal. I ordered takeout & my order was completed fairly quickly. A must try for actual good food in El Cajon lol

    The hubby and I stopped by for breakfast this morning and we are so glad we did. We've been here…read morebefore but I've never put in a review and Camryn was a standout today! She knows her stuff-knows how to ask the right questions so that you get what you really want. For instance, I was on the fence about having biscuits and gravy but I asked if the gravy was really peppery. She offered to get me a small taste and although it was delicious, I've been a little under the weather so I decided I didn't want anything really heavy. Instead I ordered the 3 egg scramble with their smoked ham and added cheese-it was really good and a huge serving including their potatoes and English muffin. I'll probably be able to make two more meals from this serving! My husband ordered the eggs Benedict and asked which potatoes they would be able to make the most crispy as we both like our potatoes crispy. She suggested the hash browns and even asked if he wanted them crispy on both sides which was a great way to get them the way he wanted. Those kinds of gestures really make the difference when you're dining out. The eggs Benedict and the hash browns were delicious, btw. :) Camryn had a great personality too-very friendly, bright and quick. She did a great job of checking in on all of her tables. When we go back I hope we are lucky enough to have Camryn serve us again but all of the servers seemed very friendly as well. Great job, Izzy's and Camryn!

We didn't feel rushed and were able to sit & visit without feeling pressured to leave after we ate. They have a menu board that shows the daily specials. I'll be back.

My husband and I have driven past many times and always felt curious. So finally we made a stop on our way home. Let me just say, it did not disappoint! The workers were very friendly and patient with us while we decided on what to order. Once we finished ordering, they actually let you play a game of chance to see if your meal is free! Roll the dice and if you get double fives it's on them. I did not win but I thought that was fun! I cannot stress this enough, the food was amazing! It's definitely a MUST try! Just be warned; cause like I said before this is a food cart in the parking lot of a liquor store. Nothing wrong with it but there isn't a lot of sit down options or anything like that. So if you're looking for a place to stay a while and sit to enjoy your meal. This place might have to wait for another day!

They offer their signature Bomb…read moreBuns, Bomb Bun Bowls, loaded fries, smash beef burgers, grilled chicken wraps, and beef shawarma wraps. What really makes them stand out is their use of Hot Cheetos and Doritos throughout the menu. We decided to try the Hot Cheeto Beef Burger ($12.99), which comes with a smashed beef patty, pickles, caramelized onions, arugula, Swiss cheese, Rizzo sauce, and fries underneath the burger. I ordered mine without pickles and added avocado. Presentation-wise, it was just okay. It definitely looked better on the menu. The burger came out looking a little rushed and the bun wasn't centered. Not a huge deal, but it didn't have that wow factor I was expecting. Service was pretty transactional from start to finish. Nothing negative, but there wasn't much interaction beyond taking the order and handing out the food. As for the burger itself, I have mixed feelings. It wasn't bad at all, but it didn't quite live up to the concept. The beef tasted fresh and good quality. I really liked the avocado addition. It added a nice richness and freshness that balanced everything out. I just wish there had been more caramelized onions because they were barely noticeable. Oh and no clue where the arugula went. My biggest issue was that the Hot Cheetos didn't really do much for the burger itself. Most of that flavor ended up on the fries, so the burger never really delivered the wow factor I was expecting based on the name and photos. Ironically, the fries ended up being my favorite part of the meal. The Hot Cheeto flavor came through much more there, and I liked that there was melted cheese underneath with their signature sauce throughout. They felt more like loaded fries than a side dish and honestly stole the spotlight from the burger. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were fair. For me, it landed right in the middle. Decent, but not something I'd specifically go out of my way for again.

There must have been at least a dozen kids or more. I told my 7 year old son not to bring balls but of course other kids did. If you park in the back there is no doubt your car will get hit. But it's softballs, not baseballs. Service is legit. Fast, friendly. They're like get in, order, get out. But we stayed for probably an hour and a half. The live music was great, not too loud. I am sad to confess the food here is not as legit as I figured based on being a San Diego local and a big DDD watcher. It probably depends on which day you come, but on Thursday, the brisket was so average. Del's in Del Cerro is better. Smoky and the Brisket is better. I had my brisket served with that nacho cheese and relish, not nearly as great as I thought it would be based on DDD. I also don't drink anymore, but if I were to have had 2-3 beers + this dinner + the enviornment I would have loved it. My son gave a huge thumbs up to his burger, daughter liked her food. If you want an experience, have time you need to kill and have kids, it's a solid spot, but in no way is this a destination if you live west of the 15. Stick to classic spots.
