This cozy cafe stands out not only for its diverse menu but also for its warm, inviting atmosphere punctuated by personal family photographs—a glimpse into the owner’s heart and heritage that instantly makes you feel at home.

At Kenny’s, the culinary offerings are as bold and generous as the portions. Their breakfast burritos have developed a loyal following, with standout varieties like the House Breakfast Burrito loaded with bacon, sausage, ham, egg, cheese, and perfectly seasoned homemade potatoes, and the Korean Bulgoki Breakfast Burrito that delivers an exciting fusion of flavors marrying traditional Korean marinated beef with classic breakfast ingredients. Reviewers rave about the "overstuffed" and "superb" burritos, noting a subtle sweetness in the bacon burrito that enhances the savory profile brilliantly.

For sandwich enthusiasts, Kenny’s impressive selection of cheesesteaks is a must-try. The Philly Cheese Steak shines with juicy steak and melted cheese melting together in perfect harmony, while the Kenny's Cheese Steak variation spices things up with jalapenos nestled among mushrooms and onions, creating an addictive balance of heat and umami. Their burgers are equally satisfying, especially the Mushrooms Cheeseburger, acclaimed as the "best" with its juicy patty and rich mushroom topping. Whether you’re craving a classic Bacon Cheese Burger or the bold flavors of the Steak Breakfast Burrito, every bite is a celebration of hearty comfort food elevated by skillful preparation.

    Came in around 9:45am on a sunday, no problems with free street parking Food was great, very filling and cheesy and savory. Ordered a Philly cheesesteak, steak sandwich and breakfast burrito Service was solid, we were asked about specific details of each order and followed up on. Atmosphere was nice, interior had lots of photographs that i presume the owner like taking pictures of with his family, customers and life in general. Good place to talk in groups of 5-6 inside or outside.

    Ok, people were not kidding about the breakfast burrito. Had the #1 and it was tasty. My picture shows only half because I could not wait to eat it. Like some mentioned before, good portions on the ingredients. Would definitely come back.

    Have driven by Kenny's numerous times always thinking I'm going to stop there, well today I did. I got the bacon breakfast burrito, it comes overstuffed and it's superb! It's got this sweetness about it which normally I don't like but it works, like maple bacon or something I dunno. Hours are limited but if you have the time to make it there between 7am-12pm do yourself a favor and do it! Be prepared to be photographed, lol. Kenny is great, you're going to love this place.

    Had to try it, service next to none, owner cook is so courteous and made us a huge meaty burrito...the homemade salsa was spicy and a good fusion taste. Definitely a hidden industial area gem. Id like to try many things here.

    The man, the myth, the legend—Kenny @ Kenny’s Cafe. His place? All heart. His food? Straight from the soul. I finally stopped by today after eyeing this spot online for a while, and wow—it far exceeded my expectations. I had the breakfast burrito with everything (grilled onions, jalapeños, the works) and a side of hot sauce. Hands down, one of the better breakfast burritos I’ve had—perfectly balanced, flavorful, and filling. But the food is just one part of what makes Kenny’s special. There aren’t many places left like this—where the food, the atmosphere, and the person running it are all working together to uplift the community. Kenny’s unbridled energy, enthusiasm, and love for people shine through in every bite. His rotating menu keeps things exciting, and based on what I had today, it’s clear: this is comfort food that hits deep. Thank you, Kenny, for the amazing experience. I’ll definitely be back to try that steak/bulgogi burrito and the burger. If you’re in the area, don’t sleep on this gem.

    This place has a 90s era throwback feel with all of the pictures of customers who love what the chef puts into the dishes. Breakfast burritos with a kimchi-jalapeno salsa is a one of a kind experience. You will want to be coming back again not only for the food but because of the community the owner has fostered. A rare gem next to the San Jose Airport that feels more like someone welcoming you to a great home cooked meal. No one feels like a stranger here.

    PSA: The shop was closed for a bit due to the gov shutdowns affecting his biz, but now it's open again! Step inside and you'll understand why Kenny is a local legend. We were greeted with a warm welcome, and hearty breakfast burritos. (I liked the bulgogi one better than the classic bacon / sausage!) Loved how the food was inspired by the folks he's met throughout his life – tortillas with the cheese melted on (Mexican), a unique adobo-inspired hot sauce (Filipino). This is the kind of small business, and small business owner, that really holds the fabric of the local community together. Thanks for feeding our bellies and our spirits!
