Serving up authentic, Mexican street fare, and a selection of over 100 tequilas and American whiskeys. Bakersfield is a spot where the food is simple, the service is warm and the atmosphere is alive.


We do offer a heated outdoor dining experience during the winter months. These tables are located in a covered and enclosed tent with heaters spread throughout. We recommend dressing warmly if the temperatures outside are below 40 degrees.

    The Shrimp tacos are my favorites. It's a little spicy and the shrimp is nicely fried. I also like the fish tacos too. Garnishments on the tacos are great too. Run, don't walk to Bakersfield.

    They were great! Food was good, service was outstanding and they were very fast with everything, even though it was busy. We didn’t wait for anything. I’d recommend it to my friends!

    We had 5:15 reservations and showed up on time. We immediately ordered our queso and drinks. By 6:25 we had to flag our waiter down to get our bill. He never came to refill any of our drinks or check on us. I think they may have just been short staffed but we had a 6:30 show so we had to hustle to pay and get out of there.

    Table was 15 minutes late for a 5:30 reservation We had a party of five and they brought four place settings. I asked for a fifth, and they never brought it Missed one of our tacos -- took 15 minutes to bring it out It's a good spot for quick tacos and margaritas before a game or concert -- but it's clearly just a volume shop where they like the churn. No attention to customer satisfaction

    This wasn't my first time here, and the experience was the same. Enjoyable environment, food/drinks, pricing and staff. Would go there again.
