Lava Grill El Cajon

Stopped in for a bite with a friend. Food was delicious and the staff was amazing

My girlfriend and I looked this place up because we had driven by it before and the signs looked intriguing and different. Today we decided to try it for the first time and we were both pleased with the food. It came both fast and hot. They ask a few questions when ordering to ensure we were sure of what we were ordering. They allow both indoor and outdoor seating with a nice little outside area that provides plenty of shade which is nice as El Cajon can get quite warm this time of year. The staff was friendly and welcoming and I believe we spoke with the owner who genuinely seemed to care about our satisfaction. Overall highly recommended and can see it becoming a regular spot. The food was delicious and hearty and didn’t break the wallet it was cheaper than most fast food places and you feel way better eating it! Highly recommend shop! However it’s not really a sit down type of restaurant although you can eat in I see it as more of a grab a delicious bit or pick up take out, by that I mean it’s not a come on a date night and order a glass of wine and dress up kind of place but more of a casual and refreshing eatery!

I ordered their lava special with a side salad. Their food is fresh and delicious!

They have delicious food I love it

I had the Beef Shawarma Wrap and it was delicious!! Lots of flavor and amazing taste! The French fries were also perfectly crispy 😋
