Everything was insanely flavorful, and I'm not even a "bean" person, I hate beans... but these pinto beans were delicious! The workers are so welcoming and friendly, and checked on us often. The inside of the restaurant was just little homey vibes. This is a real hidden gem in Barstow, and we will be sure to keep stopping here on our road trips between NV and CA.

The blend was simple and yummy. It was big and I could only eat 1/2. The salsa was spicy and also flavorful. My partner had a torta and said the mess to eat it was worth it! Again, another good decision. The staff were friendly and helpful! We had a dog and so they let us take 2 chairs outside to eat. Thank you! The "ambience"was perfect for a late lunch as we were passing through town. I highly recommend this restaurant. As someone else said, don't let the location in a strip mall stop you.

A Little Mexican Food Gem in the Middle of Nowhere!…read more Okay, Barstow... you surprised us! We stumbled upon this charming little Mexican restaurant tucked inside a La Quinta hotel, which is probably not where we expected to find such a delicious and authentic meal! We stopped in for Sunday brunch and were so glad we did. The staff was friendly and welcoming, everything was clean, and the food was the real star of the show. We had chile verde, pozole, and homemade tortillas--and those tortillas were SO good! Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and homemade. They also had an omelette bar, plus some very tempting churros and donuts for those who believe breakfast should end with dessert. (We do.) Honestly, this was such a fun little find in an unexpected place. If you're road-tripping through Barstow, this is absolutely a place to put on your list. Whether you're heading between LA and Vegas or just passing through, it's worth making the stop. Great food, great staff, clean surroundings, and a surprisingly authentic Mexican brunch in the middle of nowhere! Travelers: save this one! You may not expect to find a food gem inside a hotel in Barstow, but this one is definitely worth the detour.

We also bought a carne asada burrito and it held up well for the 2 hour drive home. It was surprisingly very good to-go. The meat was flavorful, we did not need to re-heat it, very good.

Overpriced for the quality…read more Honestly, I only stopped here to grab some food so I could use the restroom. Unfortunately, the restroom was poorly maintained and didn't have any seat covers. The meat also had an unusual color and was overly salty. Considering the amount of business they're likely getting from the Tesla charging station outside, I think they could really invest in improving the overall appearance of the place and, more importantly, the quality of the food. Maybe they don't feel the need to because so many customers are just passing through and they won't see them again, but in my opinion, there's definitely room for improvement.

Very disappointed overall and we have eaten this meal at other restaurants and had no complaints and food was very enjoyable.

Even you want more they have a salsa bar.

I recently moved to Barstow and food choices in the area is slim unless usual Fast food joints like…read moreMcDonald's, Denny's, etc. I originally moved from Los Angeles which had taco trucks on every corner. I was craving for Mexican food and Casa Jimenez DID NOT Disappoint ! Their portion size is massive so you'll definitely get a lot of food for what you paid. My #1 MUST-HAVE recommendation is their Menudo. It had plenty of Tripe and SUPER flavorful !! Would definitely order it again and every time I order. My only item I don't recommend is the cóctel de camarones. All I got was rubbery Shrimp drowning in a red swimming pool. It didn't have any cucumbers, cilantro, onions, or anything just Shrimps in clamato. Could be made a little more fancy for the price. Overall if you're traveling through Barstow or looking for good Mexican eats... I recommend Casa Jimenez. Reasonable prices Generous Portions Delicious overall. Definitely a hidden gem.

The place was empty, but at least the mariachi music blaring through their speakers made a little bit more lively. Before you know it, my special covered in red sauce arrived at my table. The shredded beef was tender and went well with their salsa verde. $14.08 total out the door. Don't forget to tip.

Always ask for a receipt!!!!!!! Bought $28 worth of food…read morewhen I checked my bank the next day they charged me $35!!!!! Giving themselves a seven dollar tip!! I should've known when the guy at the window asked if we wanted a receipt and we declined.. On top of them stealing money from me the food was exactly as the reviews state it is, my carne Asada fries were skimpy. The meat had no flavor. There was very little fries, barely filled up half the container. The Carnitas was full of fat not one piece of regular meat. It was just disgusting. I figured because they have reviews going back 15 years and they are open 24 hours that it would be the spot to go to and no it absolutely was not!!! go somewhere else. I would try to ask for my money back, but based on another reviewer who says they asked for their money back as well because of the poor quality of food, they denied them so I won't even try to ask for my money back.. I just will send everyone elsewhere instead of recommending this place.. so disappointed.

Experience: A friend of mine who lived in Barstow insisted that we stopped here on a road trip and I am so glad we did. This is definitely a gem of this city. If you live in the area or are passing through and looking for authentic Mexican food, consider stopping here. Their food is fresh and their portions are huge. I remember I ordered a carne asada quesadilla, man I wish I could eat one of those daily. You just have to experience it for yourself.
