- Sam JohnsonSeptember 5, 2016Every single thing I put in my mouth here was delicious. The guac was great, the pork belly pastor taco and short rib taco were both great, as were the margaritas!
- Serious EatsSeptember 4, 2013The long is often long for house-made (gluten-free) corn tortilla tacos, thin chips, excellent tequila and potent mixed drinks, with a pretty constant party atmosphere.
- CaraSeptember 13, 2016As a Texan, I was shocked by how on point Bakersfield was, from cocktails to guac, tortas to tacos. Our server was really helpful and made great suggestions. Fresh, exciting, fantastic!
- Great atmosphere. Everything is so good, from the guacamole, to the tortas, to the tacos. However the salsas are the best, they a liquid gold, enhancing the delicious flavors of their tacos.
- Tim HallAugust 28, 2013Overall my visits to Bakersfield have been amazing! I've been to both the Cincinnati and Indianapolis spots. And I'm really looking forward to a possible Columbus location (from what I'm hearing)!
- The Short Rib Torta is my favorite item on the menu. The telera roll is great and everything is perfectly balanced when you dip it in the roasted tomatillo salsa .
- Anna HiderOctober 16, 2016The wait is always long, so get here early. Or just sit at the bar and eat chips and margaritas... they make one of the best margays I've ever had
- Paula HeislerAugust 17, 2014This is one of my favorite places in OTR. Friendly service great atmosphere and amazing queso! Add everything to the queso, you won't be disappointed.
- Michael BelluardoSeptember 7, 2015Real good tacos, and good beer selection. Queso was great, comes out in a cast iron pan so it stays warm while you eat it.....
- Belly up to the bar and order a PBR (it comes in a boot shaped glass). Guacamole and chips are always a good start, followed by a shot of Dickell.
- Jane FriedmanFebruary 16, 2012Street-style Mexican (tortillas made fresh everyday), plus laid-back bar atmosphere with lots of socializing. Menu is comprised primarily of delicious tacos, plus a couple salads and sandwiches.
- Catch the right time and the party shall be yours, otherwise it's not wort the wait. If you get the chance have guacamole, Queso & fish taco
- Michael TchouSeptember 26, 2015Short rib tacos were great as was the fish taco. Don't pass up the Queso. Home made and better than most I've had
- Anddd, ask for the mole taco. It's made with chicken and a light mole so it's not overwhelming chocolate. Off menu for now so u gotta ask!
- Sean HertzschMarch 6, 2012Try the Tacos (Assorted) - Pastor, short rib, and fish tacos done traditionally. Take your sour cream and shredded cheddar home kids. This is the good stuff
- Ask for the Pollo Rojo tacos. New item, off menu for now. But they're the shiz
- One of the best spots to eat in the OTR! Great tacos and guacamole. Get a PBR in a boot, only $2!
- Anna GallowayJanuary 25, 2021Chips and salsa are to die for, bite size tacos mean you can make a selection and alcohol free margarita for dry January are a delight
- TV Food MapsOctober 18, 2014Check out Bakersfield as it was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives for the Southwestern spot serving up short rib tacos and a killer chicken tort Read more
- David BilliterAugust 7, 2014I absolutely loved the Short Rib Tacos. They also have a decent beer selection and the Chips and Queso makes for the perfect appetizer.
- Jeremiah CosnerDecember 11, 2017PBR boot! Chips and guacamole are great, but I like the quest the most.
- Zach TurnerJune 3, 2015Maybe before going to the other side where all the real bars are I'll have a big load of tacos since I heard small and Margaritas to see if they're Really #1.
- Aubra FNovember 9, 2014Get a margarita, even if you've had 6 beers & 2 mixed drinks at a wedding reception before coming.
- Ryan SchatzmanMarch 5, 20121-2 tacos is a snack or bar meal, 3-4 tacos is a regular meal. All delicious, although the Huitlacoche was my favorite.

- We got engaged here tonight!!! As always the staff is amazing. The food is the best. I couldn't be happier.
- CzarshawApril 11, 2015Take it from me: No trip to Bakersfield is complete without a Short Rib taco, chips and queso, and a margarita pitcher.
- Short rib and a shot of the day is the way to go. And some queso or guac of course.
- Jessica StrackOctober 11, 2015The guacamole is fresh and spicy. The mahi taco is the best I've ever had.
- Alana TuckerNovember 28, 2012The chicken Morella taco is better than the Fish taco. Neat western atmosphere. Friendly attentive wait staff.
- R BApril 5, 2015Tacos are good but I expected more. A tad overhyped. Prepare to wait for a table up to a hour or longer as they don't take reservations.
- Do yourself a favor and try the Carmenita. Half sangria, half margarita. Not on the menu, but worth the request!
- Best guac in the city. Grab a margarita too, you won't regret it! Viva la Cincinnati
- Huge craft beer selection. Tacos - all of them. Salads are great. Margaritas.
- Try the homemade queso and pickled jalapeños. Drink a local beer.
- Jac KernMarch 10, 2013Everyone raves about the tacos (all delish), but the short rib torta is a life-changer.
- Mark WizJuly 22, 2012The Chios and Guacamole were awesome. House margarita was great too. Taco's were different. Not worth the price.
- Holli GerdingOctober 31, 2012You have to try the corn chowder with their delicious chips! So so good!
- Tammy MooreDecember 29, 2014Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere! Definitely worth the wait! :)
- The best thing on a menu of all good stuff? The short rib torta. Enough to split!
