" 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*)
