The blend was simple and yummy. It was big and I could only eat 1/2. The salsa was spicy and also flavorful. My partner had a torta and said the mess to eat it was worth it! Again, another good decision. The staff were friendly and helpful! We had a dog and so they let us take 2 chairs outside to eat. Thank you! The "ambience"was perfect for a late lunch as we were passing through town. I highly recommend this restaurant. As someone else said, don't let the location in a strip mall stop you.

He got 4 different tacos and liked the carnitas the best but all of them were solid. He also added rice, beans, and flan to round out his meal. I got the Chicken Enchiladas with salsa verde and they were sooo good! I also ordered Menudo and that alone can feed a family. It arrived with super tender tripe, rich broth, cilantro, onions, and lime and handmade tortillas. I ate it for days and didn't get tired of it. Aguas Frescas are huge (Sandia - watermelon) was like the size of my head. They also have Jarritos, horchata, and more. Excellent service! While you can eat light here, it's dangerously easy to over order because everything is so good. I would 100% go back. NOTES/TIPS: **About 6 tables that are configurable to seat 2-8 people together. **Multiple payment options (phone, CC, cash). **Easy parking in shared plaza lot. **Excellent friendly service.

Jenny's Grill in Barstow…read more This isn't my first time here, and definitely won't be my last! Every time I come to Jenny's Grill, the food is delicious and the experience is even better. The owner and her family are such nice people. The food came out fast and everything was amazing. The menudo was BOMB! the ceviche tostada was so yummy, and the michelada? Whew. Spicy, tangy, and perfect. We also had a combo plate with chile verde, rice, and beans that was chef's kiss. If you're driving through Barstow, whether it's on the way to Vegas, Palm Springs, or just passing by do yourself a favor and stop here instead of a fast food chain. Support local. Support family-owned. And trust me! you won't regret it. We love you Tania!

Surprisingly it was good a little light on the salt but still good. If I had to categorize it I would say it's Mexican-American food.

The dining area is small but also has outdoor seating as well.
