I was born and raised in Delano but now live in Las Vegas, and somehow Jenny's Cafe still feels like a little piece of home for me. Every time I'm back in town, it's one of my go-to spots for Mexican food. It's the kind of place where you can sit down, relax, and really enjoy good food while catching up with friends and family. I usually come by for lunch, and it never disappoints. My go-to order is the beef and chicken flautas, which always come out crispy and flavorful, served with rice and beans that hit the spot every time. And I have to mention the horchata, it's sooo good, especially with that small ice they serve it with. It just tastes extra refreshing and perfectly complements the meal. On the weekends, I switch it up and go for the menudo, which is always satisfying and something I genuinely look forward to. It's one of those comfort dishes that keeps me coming back. I also really appreciate the little things, like the free chips and salsa they bring out. It's a simple touch, but it adds to the overall experience. The restaurant itself has a nice, welcoming atmosphere, and the service is consistently great; friendly, attentive, and always making you feel taken care of. Overall, Jenny's Cafe is more than just a restaurant to me, it's a place full of good memories, great food, and a reason to keep coming back whenever I'm in town. read more

The food was great nice and fresh and the salsa is so good one of my favorite. The atmosphere is great and you can feel the vibe it gives you I will definitely be back and next time I'll stay and eat here. read more

We live in Bakersfield and sometimes travel 37 miles back to my home town (Delano) just to have breakfast at Jenny's Cafe. Everything we order is delicious. Reminds me of home just like my mama used to make. Love the menudo con pata, and my husband enjoys the huevos rancheros with green sauce. Chips and salsita is always so good. read more

Customer service was amazing! I ordered the barbacoa lunch special; it looked like chili Colorado, but it tasted like barbacoa. Shredded beef/potatoes weren't on the menu, but the waitress recommended it, and I was glad she did. Chips and salsa were delicious, thin and crispy chips and salsa were spicy in a good way! read more

Terrible customer service. Staff were unfriendly and the experience felt very unwelcoming. The horchata was clearly from a machine and tasted like straight syrup -- not fresh at all. Very disappointing. I would not recommend read more

Jenny's cafe is located in Delano and a great place to eat. The service was great. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I also enjoyed the free chips and salsa to start the meal.

The chille relleno was my favorite thing, and it came With rice and beans. The ambiance as nice too. The dining area was clean and spacious. The decorations were cool too. Thanks Jenny's cafe for the experience! read more

This restaurant I found on the Yelp app on my visit to the Valley. Looking for a good place for Mexican authentic food then search no more, this place is amazing. I could taste the home made Mexican flavors. Service was excellent and very friendly I felt like I was at grammas house having almuerzo. Ambiance is casual, was here for lunch so not sure if they offer for dinner or if entertainment is offered like mariachi. Do check it out as is very traditional restaurant with excellent food. read more

Everything was great! Food, ambience and especially the customer service. Would definitely return.

Don't understand my fellow yelpers. I guess Delano people don't know any better lol. Jenny's used to be great.....when the original owner and two daughters ran the place. Since their passing, the food sucks! The bacon was the best. Changed it to a cheap version. Costillas were spicy and great. The last two times they were almost sweet! I'm done here. I head out of town for real good Mexican food. All these places in town just don't impress anymore read more

The ambiance is nice, one tv was on, but one can have a conversation without a problem. We ordered a big breakfast and shared it. All the dood was goo, but we really liked the pancakes. Service was courteous and friendly. I forgot to take pictures because we had been driving for hours. read more

Service was slow but the servers were friendly. Took almost 10 minutes to get a menu and drink order. She said she thought I was waiting for someone else. Having never even greeted me, not sure how she came to that conclusion. Got the large albondigas. Took about 20 minutes to get the bowl. Soup was boiling hot, the meatballs were like warm. Three meatballs. Two pieces of carrots that were massive. Not sure how they feel something this size belongs in a soup. Cut them to bite size pieces. Soup and a drink was $20 read more

O Jenny's... what was once the crown jewel of Delano has turned into a hit or miss restaurant. Don't get me wrong, I and my family still love Jenny's like the uncle who only shows up at funerals and Christmas. There have been a few changes since the first time I was introduced and it's changed my view of this restaurant. I find myself most often looking for good food in Delano on Sundays after church. We are not alone in this search for good food as there is a 85-90% chance you will see someone from the church service here. As mentioned before, Jenny's has become a bit hit or miss but when it hits it's a home run. While the consistency of flavor really depends on who is working on the kitchen that day I think it's still a top 5 choice when deciding what's for dinner. read more

The best food in the area. Period. I've been eating here for a few years now, when passing through the area. Jenny's is recommended by everyone in the area. It's got a seafood chimichanga that is awesome! And every plate from Coctail Camaron to fajitas is great. Excellent portion sizes and the staff are always friendly. I'd recommend Jenny's to anyone in the area. read more

Great fish and shrimp tacos, very well balanced and the sauce makes the difference no need in added salsa read more

Best pozole in town, great place to relax, feels good to be in. And staff is great and nice.

Probably been six months. We got in earlier for lunch, was greeted and at our usual table. Ordering was simple enough, I didn't see what I wanted so I just ordered it no problem. The girls ordered cheese enchilada with rice and beans, mom piped in and asked for the same with a chili relano I ordered my goto Carnitas burrito wet with rice and black beans. The food was out quick and hot...ah except my burrito and our side of guac. The guac was very fresh avocado a monkey dish full but guac it wasn't...no cilantro, onion, peppers, lime...okay. My burrito finally arrived as my guests were finishing lunch...sorry the cook made a small instead of the large burrito, he's making another one. Ah no thanks this is enough burrito. The pork was very good no black beans in it as I had requested but pinto beans...okay sodas were happily refilled and more chips and salsa served. Very good salsa, we daren't try the fried ice cream. Sure we'll be back it is what it is a good Mexican restaurant at lunchtime cranking out food thats good. foodguy-martin read more

Just not impressed, I unfortunately didn't have the same outstanding experience some fellow yelpers seemed to have had. This week has been a lot of work in Delano and I found myself out there yesterday so I stopped by Jenny's for a first visit. It was moderately busy which is normal at noon during the lunch rush so I had no issues with that, we were seated pretty quickly. I went for a 3 enchilada combination plate as I do love enchiladas. The service was pretty slow, even for being moderately busy. Drinks got refilled once near the end of the meal but that was mostly all we got from the waitress. The food itself wasn't great, I thought the enchiladas were bland and lacking freshness, the rice was a tad overcooked and the beans were also pretty bland. The chips tasted a little old to me, the salsa was pretty good and I did enjoy that. I was hoping for a stellar meal given some of the reviews but I just found the overall experience to be bland and slightly overcooked (possibly old.) I don't think I'd stop by again but it was nice to at least give a new place a try, thumbs up on the salsa. read more

La comida rica pero el servicio mal espere más de 40 minutos para mi comida. Que solo eran burritos de chile verde creo que se les olvidó mi orden por que a personas que vinieron despues que nosotros les dieron sus ordenes. Asta que le dije ala muchacha que pasaba con mi orden. Y después fue cuando salió mi orden. Y nunca se disculparon. read more

Best food in Kern County! Original salsas, fresh chips, homemade everything! From Breakfast burritos to Chile verde, it's all great!

Let me start off with saying, they don't sell Alcohol. If they did I would give 5 stars. we aren't from the area, but we were pleased with the quality of the food here... very authentic! service could have been a bit better but there was only one person working. She was good in terms of getting our order correct, and quickly bringing it out but we ran out of chips and she never checked to see if we wanted more. I wanted to order another drink but she never returned after bringing out our food. I also wanted more salsa bc OMG that was some bomb stuff but like I said she never made eye contact after we got our food. my husband ordered fajitas (20.00) and he practically licked his plate clean. my kids had 2 tiny bowls of albondiga soup with a side of rice (6.00) with apple juice (2.00) and I had a 2 item combo plate (14) **rice and beans tasted fresh** our total with tip came to about $70 we left with happy tummies. without tip I think it was about 57 (I can't remember exactly) read more

I'm from Delano so finding good Mexican food is not hard. I recently visited this restaurant for the first time in years because the few times we were in town it was already closed. This restaurant used to be one of our regulars for dining out when we lived in Delano, but recently when we visited the food to me was good, but not fantastic as I remembered it. We came kind of late and ordered a bunch of food, so I'm hoping that it was just that experience. Every time we have visited in the past, we have had delicious meals that made us want to come back. I would definitely say that you should check it out for yourself to judge it on your own. I'm a firm believer of people giving their own ratings because sometimes it could be the best for someone else. This restaurant has been a part of this community for a little while now and I hope to come back in the future because it's places like this, that make this community feel like home. It's family oriented and the staff is friendly. The place feels comfy and the decoration is rich in culture. read more

I ate here for the first time the other day. Was surprised at the very reasonable prices for good food that they provide. Lots of Mex-themed variations on breakfast standards that will be fun to sample. I settled on the scrambled eggs with chorizo, hash browns, and your choice of tortillas (I chose corn) on the side. There were four of us, and the place was fairly busy on a Saturday morning. The orders came out fairly quickly, I was pleased to notice. The food looked well-prepared. The eggs were generous...I'd say 3 eggs...and pleasantly, they were not greasy. If you're passing through the area in your travels, consider Jenny's Cafe as an alternative breakfast stop to the usual corporate cookie-cutter restaurant chains. You're likely to be pleasantly surprised. read more

They serve the best breakfast burritos. Our favorite are the small egg and potato burritos. Outstanding!

Just looked up places to eat in the area for a quick breakfast spot and was pleasantly surprised with Jenny's Cafe. The food was delicious and very tasty! I had the Huevos Rancheros and my husband had the Ham Omelette. The service was excellent!!! She handled everything by herself and very efficiently. Loved the ambiance, locals spot as everyone knows each other, and full of good vibes. Will definitely eat here again next time we come through. read more

I've been here before with know problems but I Walked in today they I can sit anywhere. Server never came over. Other customer came in after me. They were Help before me. Waited another five minutes and got up and left. Get your customer service together. Or hire better waitresses. The food is average! Won't be returning anytime soon if Ido it would be takeout only. Way to lose a return customer!! read more

I found this little spot because one of my co-workers, she brought us some burritos around Christmas time. Well all I can say is Thank You Yolanda. Just biting into that burrito brought back so many child memories of my mothers home made cooking. This is authentic MEXICAN FOOD! This place is very clean and they are offering limited seating due to covid and the staff is wearing mask at all times. The beans are home made and the brown bag is a special they have of 4 different types of burritos ....from fried potatoes, chorizo and egg, chile verde with beans and chile relleno. You get all this for $6.00 bucks. The Menudo is delicious and is worth my drive up from Bakersfield and it comes with everything from pata to homoney. Anyways its worth the drive you will not regret it. I highly recommend for the whole family even if you are just driving up North. I'm surprised it hasn't made it to Diners Drive and Dives show. You won't regret it....you will leave happy and with a full belly.Great Service and Great Food and I will definitely be back. read more

Conveniently located right off of the 99 Freeway. Great unknown treasure to travelers. Found this on Yelp. Otherwise, as travelers, we would only eat at the fast food places that had highway billboards. Family-owned. Delicious food. Good prices. Good amount of food comes on each plate! Definitely coming back when we pass though Delano on the 99 Freeway! read more

We were coming home from our trip to Yuma Arizona. We were so hungry we stopped to at Jenny's in Delano. We have been to this restaurant before but it has different owners. We had two combination dishes. I had an enchilada suiza with sour cream and a chile relleno. My husband had tortas de cameron with nopales. This dish is a traditional dish made during Lent. My mother made this dish every year before Easter. Her version of the dish was delicious. I have to say that both dishes were very bland. They seriously need spices like garlic and cumin. For example the rice needed onion, garlic and cumin. The beans needed salt and garlic. They tasted very bland. I would have to say that this restaurant was ok but nothing to write home about. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facilities were beautifully decorated. We thought the food was a bit pricey ($30.00). So you decide. read more
