The flautas were noticeably larger than usual and packed with flavor. The salsa was a nice surprise: chunky and blended just right—not too watery. Great service and Good food!“

“I have been coming to Jr’s Café for 18+ years. I was invited by some coworkers. They couldn’t stop talking about the Chicken fried chicken salad. ever since I had it, I am hooked. The homemade dressings are one of a kind. My family likes the blue cheese. I love the Italian vinaigrette. It’s full of flavor and tons of herbs. The burritos and pancakes are so good. My husband loves the turkey meal, You can order it all year around, comes with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberry highly recommend. The staff is wonderful and friendly.“

“I order takeout from this location, 3 crunchy tacos, extra beef, no lettuce. I returned to my car to discover lettuce in my tacos. I was a little irritated and walked back to the restaurant. I was sure I hit the no lettuce button on the self checkout tablet, however the woman working behind the counter showed me that I had in fact not hit the no lettuce option. I was fully prepared to buy 3 more tacos, when the owner step in and offered to remake my tacos without lettuce. He was very gracious and professional. I feel bad that my mistake cost them, but I truly appreciate the great service. I will be sure to return to this location on my frequent road trips through Southern California.“
