Its like going back in time, except for the prices.. Great breakfast -like back in the day! I recommend the Chicken Fried Steak with 3 eggs. The potatoes are very golden brown and perfect. I will be back soon!

I visit Mary Ettas cafe whenever I am in Ca., San Diego. They have a new owner, and it still has that old country Breakfast table feel to it, its menu has expanded which is always as good as the old menu,
The staff is awesome, it’s a really relaxed atmosphere,
I had the best Burger I have ever had here, it was “Simply The Best”, You have to stop by and try them out!

Great mom and pop cafe for breakfast and lunch. Large portions at a fair price. Got the daily special, Chicken Fried Steak with 3 eggs, fried potatoes, and wheat toast. Also got The Biggies omelette with sausage, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, peppers, and chili on top, fried potatoes and wheat toast. Both were very tasty.

A great little cafe off the side of the road. The service is exceptional and feels like a HomeTown restaurant. The food was excellent. The ham and cheese was a thick piece of ham and the french fries were crispy and delicious. I would highly recommend going here

I loved this cute little cafe. It was delicious. The country fried steak and eggs were the most delicious I’ve ever had. And their salsa paired with it adds a great kick. Not too spicy, it’s just right. The seating was comfortable, the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. It was the best meal to have the day after our wedding. I can’t wait to come back!

Mary Etta’s Cafe in Flinn Springs has been serving delicious food since 1949. They are located at 14809 Olde Highway 80, El Cajon, California. My husband brought me here 30 years ago when we first started dating. The food back then was absolutely delicious. The staff was efficient, funny, and inviting. Even the chef would turn around and interact with all the customers. It was a very pleasurable dining experience. It was more like a family gathering instead of customers at a restaurant. My husband and I were in the area this morning and decided to stop in for breakfast/lunch. I ordered a hamburger and my husband ordered the sausage patty, eggs, and potatoes. Much to our sheer delight nothing has changed…the staff is still efficient, warm, and inviting, and they still have absolutely delicious food. Thank you for remaining the same great place that you have always been. Love this place!

We went here and it was busy. That was a good sign but the service suffered a little for it. It’s a small place and Waitress was a little overwhelmed. That being said, once our food arrived I knew why it was busy. The food was absolutely delicious. The biscuits & gravy and the pancakes were amazing! Portion sizes were great too, especially for the price. Five stars without a doubt. Go and enjoy!
