    Burrito
    Andy Y.

    We ordered a Baja bowl and Baja chicken burrito. Surprisingly workers did not know how to make either and asked us what to add. They were friendly but we were not expecting this to be like chipotle. The meat was ok, but produce was dry and burrito did not close. We had a bite of each and threw it away. Sad and waste of money

    Stopped by for a quick take out. Staff was nice and prompt. Good portion sizes. It's good for what it is. This was our first time here and won't be our last.

    In short, it's attached to a gas station... The food was good (I had a veggie burrito). Service was very good. Restaurant condition was old and slightly rundown. Location was convenient. Pricing was standard. The restrooms (located in the shop of the gas station) were packed with huge lines.

    Thank you to this amazing man and his team at Baja Fresh!

    This restaurant has great service and treated our bus driver to lunch! I would come back here again and again to be greeted by this team!

    Taco Tuesday!  Fantastic tacos!!  $1.69 each

    I stopped here on a road trip with zero expectations. I needed gas, ladies room and food. I was greeted with a warm smile and a tempting offer of tacos. After driving for 4 hours, that sounded perfect. I got 3 spicy chicken tacos on 5" corn tortillas. I also bought chips, salsa, and guacamole. My rating is WOW!!! My tacos were generously filled with chicken, onions, cilantro and grilled peppers. The chips were made fresh! The server even brought out more , hot!! The red salsa and guacamole and green salsa, great. I'm going to definitely stop here on my way back!! The atmosphere is just ok, it's at a gas station. Not too much can be expected on that circumstance. But the service and food way makes up for it. I recommend this place!!

    Salad bowl with grilled chicken, and pork carnitas. Every meal comes with chips and salsa!

    The food was good, but the whole place was quite dirty. The servers were nice enough, and the food came quickly.

    Service size of carnitas on my burrito felt like it came out of a ketchup packet. Dirty place. My local taco truck can do better for less.

We had the wet burrito and it was delicious. Definitely has a spicy kick to it. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely worth a visit!

    Do you own a dog? Then this is possibly your only viable location to stop that has actual grass…read more Everywhere else has wood chips or artificial grass. I've been interested in eating here for about a year. For about a year, we have been making Dunkin Donuts our mid-point stop on our way to the beach. Both to and from. That's because we always bring our dog with us. Plus my youngest always needs to "go" before we reach our destination.. Idk why I posted only this, but there's much more to talk about. Today, we pushed ourselves further than we should have and are in desperate need of food. The majority want Mexican, so I suggest Chalio's. There are other Mexican restaurants, but this one is in the main area and looks the most maintained. Looks can be deceiving though. Maybe at one time this was a decent sit down restaurant. Now it looks pretty run down. The restrooms are the most telling. I don't think anyone really cleans them. Probably just restocks them. The trash cans were overfilled, and the menu has also been taken over by bright paper covering old menu items and advertising new. Considering the size of Kettleman, this is par for the course, sadly. But the food. The food is great. We got the birria tacos and asada fries because they were out of nachos. What was supposed to be a quick to-go stop turned into a sit down because the kids asada fries took so long. I didn't mind. I was driving and needed time to eat. The birria tacos themselves were just OK in my opinion. Nothing a few squeezes of lemon wouldn't fix. But my friend from Ghana who traveled with us was blown away. He got the regular tacos, which have become his favorite food here in California. I guess if you've never had birria tacos before, these would be good. His eyes widened from his one bite, so it looked like he was experiencing something spiritual lol. If you're looking for clean restrooms and good Mexican food, park at Dunkin, do what you need to do, and walk over

I generally like the Big Mac, but the Big Mac I ordered here was awful. First of all look at the photo, it's incredibly small, they shouldn't call it a Big Mac anymore. And second of all they gave me no Big Mac sauce. I was very polite and I went to the desk and asked for some more sauce, not a lot just a little. The guy was trying to charge me but I told him I wasn't given much on my burger. This conversation went nowhere, I had to go to the manager. Pretty silly at this point talking to a manager for more Big Mac sauce. I literally had to bring my burger over to show I was not lying, they said that I was given the normal amount of sauce but she said she'll give me more sauce just this one time because usually they have to charge for more sauce. This place is an absolute joke, you pay more, you get less, the burger is smaller, when you ask for just a little bit more of sauce you have to talk to a manager. This not just this McDonald's this is probably instructions from the higher ups. Never again never again. We are in the year 2026 and McDonald's is on my avoid list.

They even have an ice cream shop, which is a nice bonus. The place is definitely showing its age, though. It looks pretty run down and about half the games and machines seem to be out of order. It's got a little less "Wild West attraction" and a little more "Wild West went out of business." The beer selection? Let's just say you won't get overwhelmed by choices. Then came the BBQ... somebody needs to check on that tri-tip because that thing was THIRSTY. Dry as hell and not much going on flavor-wise. Bring water for yourself AND the tri-tip. And the coleslaw... WHERE WAS IT?! I opened the container expecting coleslaw and got what looked like a tiny cabbage salad that had lost its will to live. No creaminess, barely any flavor, just a few vegetables having a meeting. The crispy fries actually showed up ready to work. Probably the MVP of the meal. Overall, it's a cool tourist stop with a lot to see, an ice cream shop, and a fun Wild West vibe. Stay for the fries and ice cream--just don't expect all the games to work or the tri-tip to have any moisture left in it.
