Al Rafidain Market — Attraction in El Cajon

Do not come to this place, the owner and the people working inside are tricky and they'll try to rip you off, there are no prices on the hot food and it's difficult to find out what they'll charge you. I asked one of the workers how much a shawerma sandwich was and the guy intentionally left to ask the owner, and when he came back they wouldn't tell me how much it was, the workers know what the prices are, but since they saw me placing a large order, they thought I was from out of town and they intentionally changed the price to 5.99 for a sandwich WHAT! all of the other Iraqi restaurants in the area charge between $3-4 and they purposely try to charge you higher and change prices, and in a very dishonest way. INow the line was very long and they were busy, and I dint want to make a commotion, I even asked the owner what the price was and all she could reply was that they were very busy on Sunday and to ask the worker, VERY SNEAKY PLACE! BE CAREFUL! OWNER DOESN'T SEEM TOO HONEST! There are a lot of other places that are better...

Going into the store an adventure on its own, they have so many many desserts amazing bread and the customer service it's fantastic, it is so nice and refreshing to go into a different store we're pretty much I didn't know any other products there yet none of them the stuff I bought disappointed. The prices were super reasonable and they have so many important food and drinks if you ever around the area I want to stop and get a quick snack or bread especially bread he was huge, I recommend you to stop there. The variety of everything they have is second to none, the store is small but it packs all kinds of goodies inside. And did I mention customer service was second to none the young lady to help me at the front door at the cashier had a big smile and even taught me a word or two to be able to communicate with the person in the back making the bread. I would say this is a successful new adventure and when I am around the area of the store I will 100% stop by and get some of their goodies to take home for my kids...

Firstly, I love the attitude of the people who work here. The lady taking care of the bread counter is so lovely and kind. She called us in and invite us to try toe food before we bought. She laughed and talked and introduced what the food was made from. The ingredients and the way of cooking. This is how a food place should be.

The cashier man spent time to guide us which kind of dry fruits are good. He even showed us trick to eat them better. Their dry mango, black mulberry, and figs are so delicious. They have like 20 kinds of dry fruits from the Middle East .The price is not cheap but reasonable for their quality.

Their flatbread are fresh from oven (so warm...
