    Carne asada sope with a bite taken  and a chicken taco.

    Five stars and a smiley face ! This small, clean, unassuming little spot has some of the best Mexican food I've ever tasted--and I've tasted a lot. Everything was fresh and cooked to order. Sopes were amazing and tacos were excellent. Don't go through Barstow without stopping in here. No regrets!

    If you're passing by Barstow, this is a great spot for Mexican food. The staff is so friendly, and food comes out pretty quick. The chicken enchiladas with salsa verde were so good and definitely worth the hype. They only serve the mole on thursdays, but they might have leftovers if you ask. Great genuine Mexican food that hit the spot

    So good!! Stopped here during a road trip for breakfast, employees were so lovely and attentive. Food was incredible, came out quickly and tasted super fresh. Restaurant was super cute and clean as well.

    Service was excellent and the food was good! Lots of choices, it was hard to pick just one. It's tucked away in the corner of the center, so look harder if you don't see it right away.

    We stopped at Lola's Kitchen on E. Main Street in Barstow yesterday about 11am on our way home from Las Vegas. It is fairly nondescript and easy to miss from the exterior. But it was well worth finding! We were greeted warmly at the counter, ordered and sat down, and our food was brought out to us hot & fresh within 10 minutes. Lola's service was very welcoming and the food was excellent. This is the type of small family business that makes road trips special and they deserve support. We will be back!

    Whether you're en route to Las Vegas or on your way home from it. Stop enjoy a plate of authentic Mexican Food. The customer service is great. It is a small hole in the wall but those are the best spots to enter. The area is nice and clean. Restrooms are available and there is plenty of parking.

    Cute little checkout area.

    While traveling home from Vegas we wanted a breakfast burrito. I looked on yelp and found great reviews for this restaurant. I called ahead and ordered and they had the burritos hot and ready for us. They tasted great and were reasonably priced. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly. My only complaint was that after using their restroom, which was really clean, I went to wash my hands and the water did not work. My husband said the men's restroom was the same. Luckily I had hand sanitizer clothes in my purse still from Las Vegas.

    Fries by themselves were decent

    A bit out of the way from highway. But quite authentic. Their California burrito and the Nacho plate were awesome. The nachos were really fresh and guac was awesome on it. A small place and can get crowded quickly. Fast service. But not very organized. Don't expect that they come to ask for water. Also, I wish two or three hot or mild sauces. They had only one sauce: it was hot and it was okay: not very flavorful.

    Small but mighty  good food

    Good taste local place . We were looking for a comet this morning and no luck but a good breakfast with local patron who were friendly. Lola's has that homey Ohana vibe.. Thank ypu for sharing your family cuisine.

    Delicious bean and cheese tostada

    This was my second time in to Lola's kitchen, and honestly the first time made such an impression on me that I had to scour Yelp and find the name of it, since I could not initially remember. This place in Barstow is such a gem, in a totally unassuming parking lot. The first visit we were on our way to Orange County and this second time we were in our way back to Vegas, and it was my first time bringing hubs along. We're both vegetarian, and honestly there's not much listed on the menu as being such but they don't cook their beans in lard here, they use water so that was the green light. I ordered myself three bean and cheese tostadas, he went with the vegetarian burrito, and we got a quesadilla and fries for our littles and some chips and salsa to all share. Since we had been in the car for just under 3 hours, it was time to stretch our legs so we opted to dine in. The seating area is not huge but they do have several tables to sit in, and a few booth seats. The interior is clean, and their bathrooms are as well. Now onto the star of the show, the food! Their beans are SO flavorful, the tostadas were made fresh and you can taste it. Their red salsa is AMAZING, garlicky and the way I prefer, not chunky but made smooth. Gosh, it is really so delicious and my husband agreed. He quickly ate 2/3's of his burrito and said he enjoyed it so much. We definitely have a new spot to stop at now when we're passing through Barstow.

We still had about 200 miles to go, and all that was left in the car was coconut water and a few pretzels--not exactly a satisfying meal! I opened Yelp to see what Barstow had to offer, and Chelas Y Carnitas immediately caught my eye. I'm so glad we made the stop. The food was incredibly fresh and tasted like it was made from scratch--which I believe it was. Every bite of our wet, chicken burrito and steak burrito with everything in it, was delicious. Although it's a true hole-in-the-wall spot, that's part of its charm. The service was warm and welcoming, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food exceeded our expectations. This place is an absolute gem, and it has officially become a must-stop whenever I'm traveling between Southern California and Las Vegas. Highly recommend!

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 shredded beef was tender and went well with their salsa verde. $14.08 total out the door. Don't forget to tip.
