    My husband and I went to Bakersfield on a double date with our friends on Valentine’s Day. Our reservation was at 7:30 PM and we were seated right away. The food was amazing and the ambiance was great too! I highly recommend! I don’t remember the names of the Tacos we got but I will attach a picture here!

    I’ve been to Bakersfield plenty of times but this one took way too long for cocktails. It took 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive, and one other person with my group didn’t get hers for much longer. Could not believe it took this long.

    Excellent tacos, and the dinner for two deal was a great way to sample. The Margaritas were pleasantly tart and made well. The service was friendly and quick. Would definitely love to visit again.

    The food and drinks here never disappoint. Service is welcoming and attentive. Go for the queso w short ribs meat, sample all the taco varieties (they’re small, upscale thoughtfully paired toppings, street style soft corn shell), and don’t skip the milenesa chicken cutlet sandwich.

    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.
