"I really enjoy this restaurant. The food is tasty, authentic, and offers a variety of flavors and choices. One small issue with the fried plantains, yuca, and sweet potatoes dish - it was served with a generous portion of sweet potato fries and fewer of the other items, which were cut into chunky shapes compared to the fries. It almost seemed like two separate dishes combined. It would have been more visually appealing to have equal amounts of all items, cut into similar shapes."

We’re looking forward to the new space. The current space is not ideal but they’ve done a decent job making it work. I hope it’s not as loud. The most recent night we were there, a table of 6 was so loud it was bordering on let’s get to go boxes. Love the food. Sweet potato chili fries perfectly cooked. Service and general staff super nice. New space opening in March.

We are excited for the new room at this restaurant. The current space is not ideal, but they have done a good job making it work. I hope the new room is not as loud. The last time we were there, a table of 6 was so loud that it felt like we were at the border of takeout boxes. The food is delicious, especially the sweet potato chili fries. The service and overall staff are very friendly. The new room is set to open in March.

"Our father's day celebration on June 19, 2022, was filled with loving thoughts, joyful hours, and memorable moments. Raven served our delicious, nutritious lunch. She was friendly, professional, and sincere as she was attentive to our needs, cheerfulas she helped us, and knowledgeable regarding our orders. Garret, on the other hand, served our appetizers. His humorous stylemade us laugh with his jokes, resulting in a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. Black Angus in El Cajon is a fine diningplace because, in addition to its adequate parking spaces, the workers observed punctuality, as manifested by the timely arrivalof our appetizers, main courses, salads, and beverages. The prime rib and lobsters were cooked to perfection as we felt thetenderness and succulence of the meat while we were biting on them. The salads were fresh, prepared with the right amount ofvegetables, and sprinkled with parmesan cheese. The server mixed the beverages with the right amount of sweetness andacidity. The table was clear of unnecessary plates, cups, silverware, and other dining necessities. Undisturbed by noisy peopledining nearby and partly surrounded by high-upholstered benches, the place was quiet and provided an unexpected but neededprivacy. Raven and Garret performed their duties not obsequiously but accommodatingly, as indicated by their warm smile andcheerful demeanor. The confluence of a warm and cozy room, delicious food, refreshing beverages, needed privacy, and reasonableand outstanding service made our father's day celebration satisfying and worth repeating."
