We always stop here for tacos and cocktails when we are in Nashville. The food, service, and ambience are fantastic! They have quite an extensive selection of bourbons and tequilas. We enjoyed the seasonal margaritas this time. Still can’t decide which we liked more, the cranberry ginger or the apple cider margs. Both were delicious! I tried the stuffed poblano and was literally blown away! It is my new fave at this restaurant and for $10, you can’t go wrong!
Had high hopes for this place. We were the only people in the restaurant at lunch on a Sunday at 11:30. Hostess did not have the best attitude. Maybe this place was better a few years ago. The place seemed a little tired. Food looked great but tasted just OK. Our server was fine.
We were quickly seated by the waitress and had the premier table. Anna was our waitress. She was fabulous. We had a Paloma and Margarita along with the pollo, carnita, short rib, and El Pastor. We also did the salsa trio. All were fabulous! Would recommend!
Bakersfield has a fun, laid-back vibe with a mix of country charm and Latin flair. The space is roomy, lively, and perfect for groups or casual hangouts. It strikes that sweet spot between rustic and trendy 🍽️ Food & Drinks Let’s start with the queso — hands down one of the best dips I’ve ever had. It was perfectly warm, seasoned, and rich. My only wish? That they’d serve a bigger portion because it disappeared fast. The tacos were equally delicious. They’re on the smaller side, so I’d recommend ordering at least three and the mix-and-match options make it easy to try a variety. Drinks were solid too, well-crafted and refreshing without being overdone. 👨🍳 Service & Hospitality Our server was awesome, friendly, helpful, and spot-on with recommendations. They made sure we had everything we needed without ever hovering. 💡 Unique Selling Point The standout queso and customizable tacos make Bakersfield a go-to for casual bites with big flavor. Whether you’re stopping by for drinks and apps or a full meal, the energy and food make it worth the visit.
We stopped in for a late lunch and were seated right away. While the hostess wasn’t particularly welcoming, she did get us settled quickly. Our server, Delaney, was warm and attentive, which set a great tone for the meal. We started with the chips and guacamole (10/10) — fresh, flavorful, and definitely the highlight. We tried a variety of tacos; while most were just okay, the short rib and Baja shrimp stood out as our favorites. All in all, it was a good experience.

Authentic tacos, craft cocktails, and a lively Nashville vibe—where rustic charm meets bold flavor.
