Willie's Donuts have the best donuts in the Imperial Valley. My favorited are the Bear Claws and the Apple Fritters. However, what ever your taste be his donuts are the greatest. Willie's also have a Delie which make the best Breakfast Berritos and Lunch Berritos. Great for a quick lunch or dinner. Willie's Sweet Tea is a must experience for anyone visiting El Centro. Excellent staff alway ready to meet your needs!

Within minutes of letting them know that the ladies bathroom needed cleaning it was addressed. They do need to reinstall the hook in the handicap stall so that there is somewhere to hang your bag!
We ordered the onion rings as a joint appetizer and we loved them! It is a huge order!! My potato soup (which I finished) and Caesar salad (couldn't eat it!) was delicious. Spouse loved the sides he received with his order of ribs. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a meal so very much.
Our left-overs were enough for another meal for the 2 of us.

At In-N-Out Burger, quality is everything. Stop by to enjoy our menu of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries and shakes. In-N-Out makes fast food the old fashioned way.

We don’t eat much fast food and typically only do when we are traveling. Today we were traveling from Huntington Beach, CA to Yuma, AZ so as we entered El Centro, CA we stopped at the In-N-Out Burger. For me I think their Cheese Burgers and Fries are the best in the fast food business. This particular location was great for food and especially efficient and friendly considering the busy lunch time. Highly recommend!

Delicious tacos de pescado, I love their fresh salsa, and their tacos are big and satisfying. With just two tacos you might get full. Tasty Aguas frecas and other drinks like sodas and bottled water. The only negative thing I would say is that Friday's on the lent season you might not find a spot to sit when you get there on pick hours and have to wait a little bit and prices might be a little high to what you pay in their restaurant in Mexicali. Other that that, delicious tacos de pescado and tostadas de ceviche.

My wife and I could not find the place where we wanted to eat, gave up looking and stopped at the first place we found. What a surprise we found, Celia's Mexican American restaurant. Very good food, lots of it, and the Mexican food dishes on the menu, are very good choices and nicely fit for families with or without kids.
This restaurant is off the beaten track but very much worth it, It looked like all the customers were local, except for us. Lots of people came in for take out. Food was serviced quickly and the waiter was great and very helpful. Celia's has beer and wine, and I did not see any bar. This place is not the classic Mexican restaurant, like the more popular well known Mexican restaurants but it is better. Family friendly with good food, at a very reasonable cost. El Centro has a Naval Air station and during the winter, the United States Blue Angels Flight team are station in El Centro, for training. Lots of signed pictures of the Blue Angels, on the wall. Navy fighter pilots know all the great places to eat and I think you be very happy and surprised when you eat here.

I chose to come here based off of the Trip advisor reviews and it was close to my hotel. After a couple days of eating chain restaurant food boy was I glad I found this place!
The Menu has a little of everything, steaks burgers, chicken, pork and pasta. Plus a breakfast, lunch and lighter side menu.
I chose the 14oz New York steak and added shrimp. The steak came out cooked as I requested and seasoned nicely. The sides were steamed veggies, mashed potatoes ( with the skins still in them ) and garlic toast. All of which complimented the steak well.
I finished the night off with some cheese cake and an Old Fashioned night cap.
All in all - this place is a must when staying in El Centro.
