Wonderful experience. We had to sit at the bar downstairs but the server was great. She explained how the tacos are small and suggested the dinner for two option which we would not have thought about and had almost got up to eat somewhere else. All the food was great. Margaritas were great. Went in winter but I suppose we could have ate outside.

Finally got to try Bakersfield! Quite a popular spot for tacos here on Penn Ave. However, I decided to try a different part of their menu. I got to try their Milanese Torta and a side of rice and beans. The Milanese torta was amazing. Almost a bit like chicken park (both breaded chicken), but in differently spiced and sandwich form. Breading was light, and the chicken was juicy. The portion was quite nice too. Very fresh vegetables. I will say, although the green sauce was good, I wish they offered something besides just salsa as a dipping sauce. The rice and beans were pretty great too. A little expensive as a side, though. The rice is flavorful, with hints of cilantro and maybe a little lemon. Beans are great too, almost creamy, and topped with more sour cream. All in all, quite good!

My wife and I tried Bakersfield for the first time last night, and we cannot wait to go back! We arrived during Happy Hour and ordered a couple Modelo’s and the chips and queso. The queso was phenomenal and some of the best chips we have ever had! We then ordered the empanadas and those were great as well. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. We are excited to go back and try more food!

This place was so close to being a 5 star experience. If you want a classic margarita, and you’re picky about good margaritas, don’t get one here. As far as one of their unique custom margaritas, it seemed decent. The apps were very good. The main course (tacos) were good, but they came out cold. So it was a huge disappointment and I’m not sure how that even happened. Overall would give it a try again. Just avoid the classic margs and hope food is warm/hot when it comes out. Maybe we were just unlucky.

**Don’t sleep on the fish tacos** I hit up Bakersfield while in Pittsburgh for a work trip. I sat at the bar and was greeted warmly by the bartender who took time to share his personal recommendations with me. I ordered the short rib queso, two tacos, and a salad. For the salad I had the small “Willie” and it was a great option - crunchy, fresh, and a nice dressing. The small was also a lot of salad for the money! For the tacos I had the short rib taco, and the fish taco. I personally loved the fish taco and would have had two of those over the short rib taco had I known how delightful the fish taco would be (crunchy fish, fresh slaw on top…yum!). I paired both tacos with the Bakersfield house made hot sauce. I also enjoyed a honey dew margarita with my meal. I have to say, I thought about that margarita all day the following day. Such great flavor, and freshness. I can’t say enough good about this place. If you’re in Pittsburgh , find it and eat there.
