Tacos and the scene at this place is super awesome. Nice place to relax, people watch, eat good food. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. The food was very amazing. We got the guacamole and chips for an appetizer super fresh guacamole the salsas were addicting it's a must. The carnitas taquitos were good too. We tried different tacos all of them came out hot and freshly made they were all phenomenal. The spicy one was the best. Drinks were good. It's a good date night place for sure. 100% recommend!
We went for an early dinner with other family members. Our first visit. Menu looked great. I ordered the potato taco and it was tasty but it was mostly peppers and onion. It had a tiny tiny half of a very small new potato. It was about the size of a $.25 coin. Staff was attentive. They sat us behind the DJ and even though the music was very good, it was also too loud & was difficult for us to chat as a group amongst ourselves.
Food was great and the happy hour deal is awesome. Most notably though, a waitress noticed me waiting for a bathroom with a very upset baby. She immediately asked if I needed anything and I explained that I was needing to nurse. She took me down to their offices to a private bathroom, and brought me a chair to nurse my baby in. She was exceptionally nice and any business that supports mothers automatically has my business.
Bakersfield is the perfect spot for a hangout chill vibe for dinner! Our server Grace was amazing. She walked my party through the menu and described items to a T. She was super attentive and a delight. The seasonal Apple Cider Margarita is a must try for the fall. Started with an array of salsas, queso and guac and all were so flavorful. Entrees came out fast and presented beautifully. The vibe was amazing with Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash on rotation and football on the TVs. 10/10 would recommend!
A one and done. The location is great, the drinks were pretty good and the service was great as well. The outdoor seating was nice. Its the food. It was just okay. We tried 3 different tacos and none were anything to get excited about. I likely won't be back.
