Dona Lupe Cafe - El Cajon

Service is great. Loved the green salsa and chip. Had the steak tacos which were good but not great. L&J's steak tacos are so much better at similar price. The tacos at Dona Lupe were served plain with only lettuce, sour cream, and avocado. I did have a problem with the beans and rice. They looked and tasted days old. They were not freshly made. Food was okay, but there are places with much better food. Rather go there.

Is it sad to say that the reason this place has a 4.5 review is because these people who go here don't know true taste. My first time here and Im never going back. Not worth the money, the food had no seasoning at all and the menudo taste like they didn't wash it right let alone boil it properly. The steak guisada is a disgrace to the guisada name and should be taken off the menu. As a cook myself I'm surprised this restaurant is still kicking. Do not recommend.

After reading many reviews I decided to try it out. I ordered the manchaca play with a small bowl of menudo. There was little to no seasoning on any of the food aside from it's natural taste The menudo was way too oily with an interesting flavor. I was pretty disappointed with what I've heard. Maybe it was just my dish but my girlfriend had the same issue. There was no salt in the steak guisada dish. If I wanted my own seasonings, I would've just cooked at home instead of wasting my money at this location. Wouldn't recommend.

Great food, sweet restaurant. Food and service were excellent. One of our best restaurants in EP for breakfast.

This place is so consistently good. Very recommended. Chile colorado amazing
