Jakes Original Tex Mex Cafe

Food is always delicious! Even if the line is long, the staff works efficiently to where there isn't a long wait.
There was one employee in particular (wish I would have gotten his name! He was blonde & wore glasses) who went above & beyond to make sure we enjoyed our food, unlocked the back door for us to get out easier, then went back and got us a bag for our leftovers. We'll be back when in town 😃

Definitely dine in to get the full value with a good amount of food. The taco salad was enough to share between two people. You have to try the Jake's chocolate cake for sure! It's the best!!!!

We found this place by accident and let me tell you... THIS PLACE IS GOOD! The next time I was in town I made sure to stop by. This place doesn't disappoint. Large portions and great food.

Very good BBQ, but not the Tex Mex I was expecting being a Texan 😁 We drove through Bakersfield on vacation and noticed a highly rated Tex Mex, went in and to our surprise it was BBQ not Tex-Mex, so if youre looking for some Tex-Mex this isnt the place, but if you're looking for decent BBQ and sides this is that place😁

I have the chili my wife had the beef. Great food reasonable prices.

I had never been before so I wanted to try it. It'll be my first and last. Not what I expected it to be first off. Thought it was a real restaurant but turns out you're served like it's a cafeteria lunch... Tasted like school cafeteria food as well. The menu situation is slightly confusing and where are the menu is placed you're standing in the way of people trying to leave the restaurant. The menu should be above where they serve you so that you can read the menu and have them give you food like any other restaurant would do. By the time I was ordering my food I had forgotten half of what I tried to remember so I had to go back to read the menu that was 10 ft away from where I was ordering. Guess I should have brought a pen and paper to write down what I wanted. Back to the food, unfortunately the only thing I could think about while I was eating it was that I wanted to stop eating it. It's the worst excuse for Tex-Mex I've ever had. The food is nowhere close to Tex-Mex. I wouldn't even know what you would call it. But I call it awful. EVERYTHING was dry and flavorless, the portions were small and the prices were high in comparison to the portions. If you live here in town and have never tried it, just write it off and if you're from out of town and you just happen to want Tex-Mex, this isn't the place. The only thing good about this place that I've heard from other people is that they have awesome cake. So of course I wanted the full experience and I ordered the cake to go. I will admit the cake was great but it's also something they probably don't even make in house. I'll never know and honestly I don't care to know. Jake's text Mex is dead to me. R.I.P 💐

First time going here and staff was not friendly or welcoming . The girls who were serving did not help at all I had no idea if my sandwich came with a side. When I ordered the tri tip sandwich they seemed to get upset because they had to pull everything out for it. Usually you get a thank you for coming but nothing . Good customer service goes a long way.

Very crowded but line moved fast. I was not impressed with what I ordered which was a tritip sandwich. I won't go back.

Well...I was behind 2 couples, and then people started showing up to be with the first and ended up 30 people plus the couple directly in front of me. And...the food was eh...the cake was great. It's not like I remembered as 1st come 1st served is on their window iit should remain that way and not let people take advantage.

I threw up when I went there and it smelled really bad!
