My wife and I recently visited Dubai Loco in El Cajon, and we had a great experience. I ordered the Camel Rider Burger, which came with a juicy beef patty, American cheese, caramelized onions, and grilled tomatoes. The flavors worked really well together, and the burger was cooked perfectly. The caramelized onions added a nice sweetness that complemented the beef, making every bite flavorful and satisfying. My wife originally wanted a chicken burger, but there wasn't one on the menu. The two sisters working there were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They happily offered to customize the Golden Fish Burger for her by replacing the fish fillet with a chicken breast. The burger still included fresh coleslaw, tomatoes, pickles, and their signature sauce, which paired wonderfully with the chicken. She really enjoyed it and appreciated that they were willing to make a special request without hesitation. What stood out most was not only the quality of the food but also the excellent customer service. It's refreshing to find a place where the staff genuinely care about making customers happy. The two sisters went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meal, and that level of hospitality made a lasting impression. We left impressed by both the food and the service, and we'll definitely be back to try more items from the menu. If you're looking for delicious burgers and a welcoming atmosphere in El Cajon, Dubai Loco is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended! read more

We rolled into Dubai Loco on a Saturday night around 10:30 PM looking for something to eat and decided to take a chance on this place. Best decision of the night. We ordered the Loaded Loco Chicken Shawarma Fries and the Camel Rider Burger Combo, and WOW. Absolutely delicious. Let's talk about that burger first. The Camel Rider Burger actually tasted like a real burger, which is surprisingly rare these days. Juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor without trying too hard. Now the Loaded Loco Chicken Shawarma Fries? Those things should come with a warning label. The first bite made my eyeballs roll over, cross, wink, fall out of my face, and somehow land right back where they belong. That's how ridiculously good they were. Loaded with tender chicken shawarma, creamy aioli, garlic sauce, melted cheese (the GOOD cheese), and piled high over crispy fries, every bite was finger-licking delicious. Delicious, delicious, DELICIOUS. The portions were generous, the flavors were on point, and everything tasted fresh and made with care. If you're in El Cajon and wondering where to eat, stop wondering and go to Dubai Loco. We took a chance on it, and now we're already looking forward to our next visit. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

AMAZING! We got the mixed half chicken half lamb plate. The lamb was very tender and seasoned. I thought the chicken was dry but it was a small bird and I think the way they cook it kinda dries it out but it wasnt bad. I personally wont get it again though. The rice was good but more Mediterranean forward than Mexican rice. I honestly had low expectations for the drinks but it was a pleasant surprise. I got the Nutella smoothie with coconut milk and mango smoothie with regular milk. The Nutella was sweet but not super sweet. It was just right, perfect actually. I would definitely give the drinks a try. They seem short staffed or I believe its because they are a mom and pop shop. They had one staff in the kitchen and one at the front that was also taking orders through the drive through. No matter how busy the girl at the register was, she was very nice and the food didn't feel rushed at all. Inside is also more Mediterranean forward than mexican. They have marble like walls and gold accents with soft cushioned chairs. They have a really long menu but overall I consider this a hidden gem. Will definitely be back to try more and their desserts. read more

Dubai Loco absolutely exceeded our expectations! We came in and tried the Dubai Loaded Chicken Shawarma Fries and the Birria Tacos, and both were incredible. The shawarma fries were packed with flavor and loaded with generous portions. Zara took amazing care of us from the moment we walked in. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, attentive, and really cared that we had a great experience. To top it all off, she surprised us with complimentary tabbouleh, hummus, and a pistachio frappé, which were all delicious and gave us the opportunity to try even more of the menu. It's rare to find service that goes above and beyond like that. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was great, and the hospitality was even better. 10/10 experience. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

The #33 Asada loco burrito with fries inside - delicious! Meat was tender, fries were perfect, tortilla was soft, yet grilled, and it was meaty. The guac was so good inside also, omg! Exactly what I needed for a late night nite. The Cesar salad burrito had potential but needed more cesar dressing/sauce, chicken, and cheese. I think if it had those things, I would've loved it. read more
