WOW FACTOR? Yes, but just barely because of the salmon salad and not for the large price increases…read more Only problem is all the gas stations at this location charge a lot more than other stops on I-5 (this visit $1 more than the Love station further north). HAVE AGAIN: Salmon salad is wonderful. Have this every time. NOT HAVE AGAIN: The kids burrito with BBQ beans, rice and tri-tip could be delicious but the beef is in large chunks and very unpleasant for kids (or adults) to eat.

We happened to come for gas around lunch time and decided to try the food at Wild Jacks. Burnt Ends Burrito: Brisket, tri-tip, rice, beans, chipotle cheddar cheese, wild jack's ranch. The burnt ends are the most desired part of a Brisket. This one tasted more like leftover meat and I couldn't taste any of the burnt ends. This is a very good way to get rid of leftover scraps but they should change the name. Pulled Pork Nachos: Had a nice looking color from the salsa but the pork was dry and not that great. Sweet Potato Fries: They had that cornstarch coating that some places do to make the fries more crunchy, tasted OK but I prefer them as normal fries. Kid's Cheeseburger: A bit bland and normal for the price we paid, I think they would have enjoyed the McDonald's one more.

I've lived in Bakersfield for a long time and had never tried Jake's Tex-Mex on Oak Street. Why? I…read morehave no idea. We stopped in for lunch and it was pretty darn good. The parking lot is pretty tight, especially for a pick up. We entered, the menu is hanging on the wall right before the order counter. You pick out what you want and the server serves it up fresh. We chose the shredded beef plate. We got to pick two sides and chose coleslaw and Jake's rice. The service is quick and friendly. There's more than enough food for two. The atmosphere is nice. One of the few restaurants that has the volume level of music just right. There's a lot to choose from on their menu. Don't be like me, if you live in Bakersfield, you have to try Jake's Tex-Mex.

Jake's was a pleasant surprise. I usually gravitate toward more traditional Mexican food since…read morethat's what I grew up with, but this Tex-Mex really hit the spot. I ordered the chicken taco salad and ended up finishing the entire thing but it was very filling and flavorful. I don't come here often since this was a company order, but I genuinely enjoyed the food. The only small downside for me was the salsa, it wasn't as spicy as I would've liked. Overall though, a solid Tex-Mex option in Bakersfield and definitely something I'd enjoy again.

It's a nice road trip pit stop. Right along Hwy 99 North as part of Bravo Farms. Good selection of…read moresandwiches and other eats. We ordered three different types of fries for the table but the garlic Parmesan was the main hit. I got the Santa Fe Cobb salad with the Tri Tip, thinking it would be more fire grilled meat. They basically topped the salad with cold Tri-Tip chunks which don't have a lot of flavor and looks uncooked (but not raw). I only ate a portion of the Santa Fe Cobb salad with the Tri-Tip. If I ever come in again, it's best to build your own 5 ingredient salad, which they allow you to do- so you can choose. We got the mac and cheese and wings which were good. Two people in our party ordered the Tri Tip sandwich with Cole slaw, and that appeared to be the better choice here. They have icecream which seemed to be popular for a lot of people stopping in. Still nice to be able to support a local business versus eating at a chain. Easy to get back onto the highway and journey on.

My cup was always full! My daughter ordered a bowl of chili and cornbread! It was a good sized bowl! Very hot and seasoned well, not too spicy.

Food was good and service was amazing. I ordered the ceviche with the mango. It was good, just needed a bit of salt or hot sauce. The next times I've gone, the food has not met my expectations. I also realized, it's a bit pricey. I've ordered the lomo soltado and it's very salty. I ordered the aguachiles the last time I went and the shrimp was rubbery/ overcooked, as if they had been left there all day. And it's like, I understand, it was 8pm, however, isn't the food intended to be fresh whenever you order it? Service was still amazing. I just don't like that they charge a mandatory 20% service fee when it's a group more than 6 and still ask if you'd like to leave more tip on top of that. Plus, they rush you to leave before they officially close and if they don't see you move or get up; they will continue to remind you until you leave. I think the server told us like 5 times, even as we were already getting our stuff ready to leave.
