My girlfriend and I recently visited Jake's, we arrived at about lunch time, 1:00 or so. It was tough finding parking, seeing with did take separate cars, there is very limited parking, especially during a lunch rush. I, personally, thought it was going to be crowed seeing the amount of cars in the parking lot. As we entered, there was a line that was about to the door, and it was too bad, look as if most people that were parked had already been seated. One thing I like about Jake's is it's a sort of "cafeteria" style serving, and the decorations are really amazing, different concepts taken from Mexican and Western themes that were painted on the walls and random items hung on the wall, giving it that "home" feeling. Alright enough about their atmosphere. On to the food.
As we scanned the menu, I knew I wanted two things, beef tri-tip and that delicious, heart-melting cake. So I ordered a Beef Tri-Tip plate, with potatoes and rice for my sides. I also chose cornbread. My girlfriend ordered just a regular burrito, she wasn't feeling all that great, so she got something simple. But even just a regular burrito is extremely huge at Jake's, filled with beans, rice, and beef, combined with cheese and sour cream. As for me, almost everything was perfect, the only complaint I had, was that the rice was a little to dry for my taste, other than that, the meat and potatoes were great. The cornbread was interesting, not amazing, but alright. My girlfriend, even though her illness, said that the burrito was very good, and that the salsa included in it had a sort of sweet taste to it. She also mentioned that even though she was sick, she could still taste all the flavoring.
Now, the cake, probably the best they server at Jake's. It's absolultey amazing! The nice moist chocolate center that just explodes in your mouth and the nice creamy frosting that literally melts in your mouth, makes me want to just come and get a piece of cake, and that's it. I'm a chocolate cake fan, and this is deffinatley up there at the top.
I took away one star, because the rice was a too dry, the parking was overcrowded, and the floors were a tad bit too dirty, other than that, it was great food.
