Officially our new must have roadtrip stop. The tacos de asada here are some of the best we've had,…read morewe even stopped here again when driving back. Definitely recommend!

Not a lot of options when you're driving down the 5 unless you're good with McDonalds or otherwise…read more This was a pleasant surprise as a humble restaurant attached to an ARCO. It's pretty small with maybe 10 or so seats and some little cultural decorations. The guy at the counter is nice and walks you through the what you're ordering. They have a pretty wide menu and we got the pollo supreme burrito which comes with rice, beans, onions, sour cream, and cheese. The chicken is a chipotle chicken that is tender and flavorful. They toast the tortilla which gives it some depth of flavor. We got it spicy which gives it some but not a lot of heat. Overall, a great spot to get some food on a long ride between NorCal and SoCal.

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 drive between LA and San Jose frequently on the 5, and I have stopped many places for food but…read morethis is my favorite. Located in the large gas station on the north west corner of where highway 5 and highway 269 intersect. Real food, good quality. They assemble the food for you to request. I've been about 5 times and haven't had to wait more than 5 ish minutes. They're pretty quick, you can tell they're used to being busy. I always get a vegetarian burrito because it's easy on my stomach during the long drive, and easier to eat while driving. Their salsa is very good!! But other people's food always looks good. I make a point to stop here when I can. Definitely recommend! There is some indoor seating for dining (shared with Subway). Ambience is it's in a gas station. (Very well maintained restrooms too) Looking forward to next time!

We decided to try this place based on the strong Yelp ratings, but unfortunately it didn't live up…read moreto the hype. We ordered three items: * Chorizo burrito * Chicken burrito * Chicken quesadillas The same lady who took my order was also preparing the food, and she seemed overwhelmed juggling multiple tasks and repeatedly forgetting parts of my order. When I asked for the pico de gallo on the side for the chicken burrito, she packed everything up and forgot it entirely. When I turned back to ask for it, she said it would be extra. The chorizo ended up tasting burnt, likely because she was managing several orders at once and left it on the cooktop too long. Overall, not the best experience. I'd suggest trying the taco truck outside of the Gas station or Subway next to it. They weren't too friendly either. The inside is clean! That's for the 1 Star

Food was good and tasted fresh. Wholesome hold in the wall. Stopped by and made a detour here bcuz…read moreit was better than gas station food.

The food is okay. It's located in a small town where choices are limited. The restaurant is small…read moreand a bit neglected as far as its cleanliness and appearance. I'd venture to say that for a small town their service is good for the locals as they may know each other but for those of us traveling through, the service was basic.

On our way home from LA, we planned to stop at our usual halfway point in Kettleman City. We…read moretypically go with In-N-Out or Bravo Farms, but this time we were craving tacos. After a quick Yelp search, we came across Mi Ranchito and decided to give it a try, and we're so glad we did. The food was phenomenal, service was great, and the kitchen was clean. It's not a traditional restaurant (it's located inside KC Market/Gas Station), but don't let that deter you. It's absolutely worth the stop and might just become your new go-to spot when passing through the area.

Stopped here on our way down the 5. Inside KC market. Cashier was really nice…read more Small shrimp ceviche: delicious! Cold and sour. A little spicy. For $11.99, it's such a great value. Love how they keep the ceviche separate from the tostada so you can eat the ceviche at your pace and your tostada doesn't get soggy. Asada regular burrito: ok. Asada was solid. Tasted very homey and not too salty like many other places. Not very greasy either. Pastor taco was delicious! Need to try the chili verde and grilled chicken next time. 2 tables inside and 1 table outside. Bathroom ran outta soap

Small place with BIG flavors!…read more I tried a variety of tacos, all good, but the Asada was fantastic. The potato cheese and egg breakfast burrito is simple deliciousness. Green salsa from the salsa bar would be great on anything. Lots of locals. I would go out of my way on any trip on CA 41 between San Luis Obispo and Fresno to eat here again and again and again.
