" I had heard great things about Jennie's Boxcar, so I decided to give it a go last weekend. The atmosphere was lively, and the decor was appealing. I tried the OG tacos, but honestly, I found them to be a bit overpriced for the size and flavor. The service was decent, but I felt a little rushed. While the chips and guacamole were top-notch, I probably wouldn't return soon due to the overall experience being just okay. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Jennie's Boxcar after hearing friends rave about their tacos. While I enjoyed the lively atmosphere, the food quality was not quite as I expected. The flavors were a little off from authentic Mexican cuisine, and I left feeling a bit unsatisfied. Service was decent, but we did have to wait longer than average for our meal. I might give it another try in the future, but I want to taste the food being touted before making a return. " (*Curated Review*)

This place is definitely a gem in the Quad Cities! " (*Curated Review*)

The waitstaff were attentive and kind, always making sure we had what we needed. While I enjoyed my meal thoroughly, I felt the portion was just a tad on the small side. Overall, great spot for a quick bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Jennie's Boxcar was just okay. The décor is charming, but I felt that the menu could offer a bit more variety. I tried the Happy Fresca tacos and while they were tasty, they didn't blow me away. The service was friendly but a bit slow, which made waiting for the food feel longer than expected. Overall, a nice place, but there are a few areas I think could use improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious tacos and comfortable seating made my experience at Jennie's Boxcar. I especially loved their guacamole—it tastes truly fresh! The service was friendly, and they were happy to help with recommendations. Although the portions could be bigger, I enjoyed every bit of it! I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
