    I'm probably going to regret sharing this secret with you. This will be short & sweet: if you like Carnitas (slow cooked, braised pulled pork), I challenge you to find a place who makes them better than Janitzio. We have been coming here for many years because there is no other place, business nor restaurant, who can match the unique taste. I double dare you!

    I work all over the state of California and when I do I search for excellent carnitas and I can tell you these are on my top 4 list of excellent carnitas they have a unique seasoning on them that you won't find anywhere else that I'm aware of

    Best carnitas and longaniza i have ever had! They are red in color with their special marinade that makes them stand out from the rest.

    The price of the food does not measure up to the quality of the food. I got a torta that was bland and tasteless.

    They sell tamales on the weekends. My grandson loved the pork ones. The chicken and cheese ones are also good.

I've never run into any situation where not speaking Spanish was an impediment. Things I find particularly worthwhile. Produce tends to be cheaper than most supermarkets. tomatoes, mangos and assorted fresh chiles are good values. In the fall, 'tunas' or cactus pears are available. Fresh foods - the grilled chicken is a favorite - a guilty pleasure for me is 'chicharron con carne' which is deep fried pork skin with a strip of meat attached, think a 6 inch pork rind with deep fried pork meat. Closest thing I've had to that is pork cracklins in Louisiana. Corn tortillas are freshly made. Store made mini tostadas, about 3 in in diameter are something I haven't seen around, which I prefer to the normal sized tostadas. Also, Sonoran style flour tortillas brought in from Phoenix ...so much better than the machine made flour tortillas. Common in AZ, this is the only place I've seen them in Kern County. 'Telera' bread, which is used for Mexican style sandwiches aka tortas, grab a few. This is the closest I've found to the Caribbean style soft loaves to make Cuban pressed sandwich and paninis. A individual serving of tres leches cake - not overly sweet - also tops it off.

Frog : Ask for "ca-beh-saw" tacos, head meat. turtle: ohhhh so...2nd time I successfully ordered 5 cabeza tacos. so damn good!!! Totally worth additional 10 miles drive (from I-99) from outside, it looked dark and empty... like those scenes in horror movies that when you walk in, you scared by the suddenly show up employee don't get wrong, inside is actually very clean and neat. I was the only customer in it at 1pm. The girl who made my tacos was quiet, shy (like me), and fast. It was hot and wrapped in the foil. I never had such flavors before...it looks simple but it left King Taco wayyyyyyy behind.... If you travel between LA-SF...its very close to 46 (Famoso Hwy) and to both I-5 and I-99 are around 10 miles. Because it's close to HWY so the driving time is actually not too bad...I got there in 12 mins after exiting I-99 NOW I wish I can have more "ca-beh-saw" tacos ....

    This past Friday, July 19, 2024, I took my dad's car in for an oil change--for the first and, most…read morelikely, the last time. After the oil change, the car operated flawlessly until my dad realized it was dragging while heading to work. It was dragging because the undercar shield was disconnected from below. I took it back to the Walmart associate and informed them of the issue. They removed the broken piece (as shown in the picture) and began to claim that it had been placed perfectly after an oil change and that they had surveillance footage showing the mechanic had replaced it correctly. However, they did not show this to me, giving the impression that they were attempting to hide something (which was undoubtedly their reputation) and this is the first time I've ever took an oil change in this location. They wouldn't even take action to make up for their error. PLEASE NOTE THIS DELANO BRANCH IF YOU ARE READING THIS. Without hesitation, I would have given them a negative rating! I now need to take it to the dealership in order to get the parts changed. Many thanks to WalMart in Delano. ,,i,,

There were actually employees at the checkouts. Amazing isn't it! Also a Subway inside that sales pizza! Good deals, good prices, fruit and veggies all looked fresh. There is also overnight parking for a few trucks on the side of building on the street opposite side of garden center with a walkway to parking lot. Store closes at midnight and reopens at 6:00 am. Definitely recommend this Walmart!
