Jenny's Grill Steak & Mariscos — Restaurant in Barstow

We were traveling through Barstow today and we thought we would pick a Mexican restaurant to eat at.We looked up reviews,etc.,and we decided on Jenny's Grill Steak & Mariscos.We were definately glad that we did. We ordered the three shredded beef enchiladas with Red Sauce,rice and beans.The red sauce over the enchiladas had melted cheese as well.I also asked for a couple jalapenos that were freshly charred on the grill.The shredded beef enchiladas tasted good and were flavorful.The spanish rice was good with the beans.I think the beans were pretty good with the right amount of lard,which I like.I mixed the rice and beans together and I put the chopped up charred jalapenos in it also which tasted wonderful. We also got the Carne Asada Nachos which were good and had lots of Asada meat on them.The cheese on top went well with the meat and chips,and had the right amount of crunch.I was also glad that they served chips and salsa with red and green salsa and pico.The red and green salsa had some proper KICK to them when eaten with the chips.I thought to myself that this must be the heat level that they like around there in their salsa which is cool. I love when we go to a Mexican restaurant and you get that heat. The charred jalapenos were delicious,and quite hot and complimented both the enchiladas and the rice and beans.The friendly waitresses were quite courteous and supplied us with whatever we needed.From the time we ordered the food to the time when the food came out to our table was surprisingly fast also.I say Great Job Jenny's Grill Steak & Mariscos.Your food tastes Great,and you can tell that the people that work there care about...

If it were possible to give more than 5 stars I would do so! Jenny's Grill Steak & Mariscos looks like it's been on Route 66 for a long time, however, the food is great, the service better and after a long day on the road it was a great place to eat! Two things REALLY stand out: 1) We got there, sat down and ordered. By the time we were through eating, about half a dozen law enforcement people were also sitting and eating. You KNOW that when the local law enforcement people show up, the food is good and the value is unbeatable! 2) When we went, we went in, saw some signs saying "Please leave your animals outside unless they are a service animal - comfort animals don't count". After a few minutes, a man came in, read the signs and continued in with his obvious pet (not service animal). One patron who was leaving even mentioned "No perros. No dogs." and the person ignored him. A few minutes later one of the employees asked the person if he had seen the signs. The person protested and said he couldn't leave his dog in the car because it was too not. It was about 70 degrees. The employee kindly, but firmly asked to see paperwork indicating the dog was a service animal. The person refused to produce any such paperwork and was asked to leave his dog outside. The person refused and left. I SINCERELY APPRECIATE YOU BOTH LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT ANIMALS SHOULDN'T BE IN RESTAURANTS AND THEN HOLDING FIRM WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO IGNORE YOU!!! It was MUCH nicer for us to continue our meal without an unnecessary animal in the store. I will be back again and again each time I'm in Barstow -...

WARNING ⚠️ First I must say I love to travel and find places to help people on their journey. This visit was one of the worst experiences. There was nothing wrong with building. Looked like it used to be a Dennys. Booth was comfortable. We got chips and salsa to start and I must say it was a top 10 experience with that. Unfortunately it was all downhill from there... in photos you will see a napkin full of pieces of "meat" that was inedible from taco. The food had looked good when arriving but the meat was a very poor quality. I personally can't remember ever having meat this bad . I'm including taco trucks. The rice was a very light color and my instincts were right in it being very bland. Top 5 worst. The beans were not terrible. Average quality. When getting the check, we noticed a significant hike in price compared to the prices stated on the menu. The receipt wasn't clear why. They gave a terrible excuse that didn't justify actions. They said our regulars know the difference and that there are extra charges. I guess they don't like to do business with out of towners. I got ripped off with food and the bill. Try any other place than this one. I guarantee it will be better. I don't understand how this place has...
