Stopped in for a drink and a little bite to eat. The Old Fashion was terrific. The Carnitas Tacos were delicious but I have to say the Empinadas were amazing!! If you are walking by then take a little time to stop in for a drink and some empinadas.

Nothing memorable. Everything was average. Only stopped in because we were in the area. It's not worth the parking to go. It's plenty other places to go that are the same or better .

Service was great, food was delicious! I think the tacos could be bigger though and the music volume could be turned down a bit more too. Other than that, it was a good option!😅

Our first time trying out Bakersfield and we loved it. Our waiter Andrew was super kind and made sure we were well taken care of. We tried the dinner for 2 option which is $26 per person but you definitely get your moneys worth in food. I highly recommend the brisket queso, empanadas, and the Baja shrimp tacos they were by far our favorite. Don’t forget the spicy margarita it had a nice heat but it wasn’t overpowering at all.

What a wonderful little surprised we walked into on our visit downtown this past weekend. It was a Saturday night so we walked in knowing there'd be a wait, we got quotes 40 minutes but they were able to seat us within about 10. Our server was very quick and attentive for as busy as she was. The menu is small but the flavors offered are huge! We ordered a queso for the table and it came out hot and with even more cheese on top than I'd imagined. The chips were typical restaurant tortilla chips, delicious and salty. The queso does have a kick to it, I'd say medium spice level. We ordered tacos and taquitos for the main course and I had to try the esquites ,or elote in a bowl basically, Everything came out timely considering their busy level. Our server kept our drinks filled very well in the mean time. When the food finally came I was shocked both good and bad. The tacos all come out together on a big serving dish though they do put them in the order they were made so figuring which is which out wasn't too difficult. But oh are they small tacos. They use the street tacos tortilla that's about 3 or4 inches in diameter. They did not skimp on the inside though and despite it being $4.5 a taco, you can taste the quality in the ingredients. I ordered 3 to starts, the shrimp , Al pastor and braised beef tacos. They tasted so good and were small enough I ordered 2 more. Everything was delicious and we left feeling satisfied but not gross full from crap ingredients. Will definitely be coming back to try the other tacos. Oh and do yourself the favor, get the esquites and queso and then make yourself a grande nacho with it. Thank me later. ENJOY!
