I love shopping at Plato’s Closet El Cajon – every visit feels like a treasure hunt. The selection of gently used clothing is always fresh and surprisingly stylish, and the pre‑owned shoes are in great condition for the price. It’s a friendly thrift store where you can snag discount clothing without any hassle.

★★★★★ — Cindy, Nov 2025

It was one of the cleanest, best organized thrift store i have visited. Shoes were grouped by size. The clothes are grouped by size, or at least theoretically. Looking through the rack most items were miss placed. The items were mostly casual and not my personal style. But this means most people would like it.
