Clearly
a diamond in the rough, Cafe Zia could be the best kept dining
secret in the SDSU area. A regular hotspot for students, the
cafe itself receives most of it's new customers from word of
mouth and not flashy advertising, because the food simply speaks
for itself.
Tucked into a small three building strip mall off of bustling
El Cajon Blvd., Cafe Zia is easy to miss, but definitely unforgettable.
The owner, Khaled Zia, brings his own ethnic twist to his culinary
masterpieces. Being of Afghan decent, Khaled incorporates a
variety of chutney sauces into an otherwise traditional menu
which includes a variety of wrap sandwiches, salads, tacos,
and pita sandwiches. The chutney's, ranging from flavors such
as mango, peach, and my personal favorite, Serrano chili pepper,
creates an unusual mouthwatering flavor and work brilliantly
with every dish.
The massive side order known as 'Homie Fries': a plate of grilled
potatoes, onions and marinated tofu, are simply to die for!
Cafe Zia caters to all, picky palates included. With a cuisine
that is both vegetarian friendly and a carnivorous delight,
all who dare to reach dining ecstasy will leave fulfilled at
Cafe Zia. The menu price is moderate to low and the environment
is real laid back.
