The Best Affordable Restaurants in San Diego

"Should you find yourself in search of good Syrian food in El Cajon, visit this veritable treasure chest full of rich breakfast foods including falafel, fatteh, and fool mdamas (fava beans). For lunch, diners can go for a salad, sandwich, or a beef or chicken kabob served with rice, chopped salad, and a fluffy pita. If you’re not dining in a hurry, the Syrian kibbeh (fried or grilled) is a good option, as are the entrees, such as the beef, chicken, and lamb tikka, which come with rice and salad or fries." - Roxana Becerril, Candice Woo
