   I’ve been to Bakersfield several times over the years, and it’s usually a great experience. The staff is always friendly, and with a reservation, I’ve always been seated promptly. The food has typically been a highlight—especially the Johnny salad, Baja shrimp tacos, and the green salsa. On my most recent visit, the Johnny salad was still delicious, but the Baja shrimp taco didn’t taste as good as it used to, and the green salsa seemed different. I noticed the menu has changed, so that might explain it. Service is usually solid, but this time, our server didn’t check on us as often as expected, which was a bit disappointing. I still really like Bakersfield and hope these changes are just a bump in the road. I’ll definitely give it another try.

   We went early on a Thursday when the noise level is bearable. Bartender kept throwing glass bottles in the garbage which startled us ever time. 😳 The food was so good! Had the Johnny salad that I highly recommend. My husband had the stuffed poblano pepper that was very good. Our waiter, I wish I could remember his name , was so cute and attentive- really provided a great experience.

   Always a lively atmosphere, drinks are always good (specifically the classic margarita), and service is good, but I will say they have changed/removed some food items on the menu that were better before.

   The food was delicious and the waiter was courteous and attentive! I didn’t like our seats. They were really far in the back. I will admit that is just a preference and the restaurant was busy with limited seating.

   Great Mexican restaurant with many good options. Good Margarita choices and even a Mezcal tasting menu. We enjoyed the fun atmosphere and the staff was excellent. The location is perfect. Near sports and music venues right on Woodward Avenue. We went to a concert at Masonic Temple which is only a 15 minute walk. Some of the side streets have free parking.

    We come to Bakersfield several times a year, but this time was a total let down. We showed up only to see a sign on the door that the restaurant was closed due to building problems. We received a call less than 20 mins before our confirmed reservation time, which for most people wouldn’t really give ample time to make other plans. I know it was an unexpected situation, just wish we could’ve been notified a bit earlier to adjust our plans. Bummer!
