I love small town family owned Mexican restaurants, because I love actual home style Mexican food…read more I'm a sucker for a taco shop with lengua, I've had it in multiple states at many trucks, trailers, restaurants, grocery store taco shops and gas stations. This is top 3 lengua tacos ever. Absolutely perfect. Asada was pretty good, but the lengua stole the show. I will be back for sure. The service was fast, my food came out almost immediately, I barely had time to grab napkins and gold up my receipt and my food was out and hot.

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.

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

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

We both had plenty left over to take back to our cabin, and luckily we had a full-size refrigerator! Each dinner also comes with your choice of things like soup, salad, or a tostada, plus unlimited chips and salsa. You definitely get a ton of food for your meal. The wait was pretty long when we went, so keep that in mind, but we enjoyed the food. They also have pretty decent options for kids, and I noticed they serve breakfast too. We'll have to come back sometime and try breakfast. Overall, good food, enormous portions, and definitely come hungry!
