Jakes Original Tex Mex Cafe

This place is bustling and in a good way! The Tritip, Jalapeño Cornbread and Potatoes were great but the amazing food here is the homemade chocolate cake! Great ambiance!

Awesome salads. Super delicious! Chocolate cake is best ever!

Had to sit outside. Not bad atmosphere. Worst part was an employee who keep slamming shut the door where we were sitting. Customers have to open the door to get to the outside seating.

We have been here several times and it is always good. This particular time I had a shredded beef sandwich and it was good but it wasn't hot.. not even warm.. it was maybe room temperature but turned cold once I put BBQ sauce on it.. big disappointment

Smiles everywhere in this place. Employees seemed happy. Food was great except for the salsa. Our favorite was the cheesy potatoes. We will be back.

The food is always yummy. And, the service is always top notch. On my latest visit: I noticed they recently added a patio dining area with umbrellas and misters.

After moving states this is still a well known favorite going through town.

Essentially a “Tex mex chipotle” Jakes is a great place to go if you are looking for Mexican style comfort dishes served in front of your face the same way many food chains have popularized.

Although they are a Tex mex place I would argue their cake, A chocolate cake absolutely layered in homemade frosting is a must buy when visiting. They also have incredibly delicious mashed potatoes.

Pricing is relatively fair/competitive for what you get and the food is great. Their burritos from what I’ve experienced are pretty big and will cover a plate whole. The location is relatively big and good for sit down. Drinks are self serve and easily refillable.

A stand alone location located in Bakersfield CA and a must try if you are coming through. Amazing chocolate cake and great burritos they also have veggie options and preferences between beef/chicken.

Great place to eat and service & atmosphere were amazing. Definitely will return!!

Went here on a lunch hour with a coworker and the place was packed! However the line moved quickly and we received our food in a timely manner. I didn’t care very much for the chicken nachos that I ordered, but took most home to my husband who loved them. My coworker ordered a chicken taco salad without beans and was a little miffed that her chips got soggy quickly. So while it seems popular, which makes me believe a lot of people like the food, I probably won’t be returning. Giving a four-star because my husband asked I do so. That’s how much he liked the nachos.

Employees need to be friendlier I didn't know how to address the menu I had never been there and they seemed like it was a problem to walk me through the process
