    We are visiting Indianapolis for a national trade show. We ate dinner at Bakersfield - Mass Ave on a Monday night at 6pm. We were seated quickly and our server promptly took our order. They do not bring or offer water - we never asked for any and ordered two alcoholic beverages. We decided to get the dinner for two for $26. That’s how it is listed on the menu along with description of what you get which was six tacos, a starter (chips and salsa or chips and guacamole or chips and queso) then two sides which made the dinner for two seem like a deal because that was basically the cost for six tacos. The chips and guacamole was very good as were the two sides (rice and beans - this was served side by side on one plate as a side to share and we chose empanadas as our second side which came with three). The tacos which are street taco size. We didn’t care for the Baja shrimp tacos but the fish tacos and carne Asada were very good. We were a little surprised when our bill came to find that the dinner for two was $26 per person not $26 for two. We felt this was not clarified anywhere on the menu or by our server. We did not feel the tacos and sides along with chips and guacamole warranted a $52 charge. Over all we gave the restaurant four out of five stars. It was good to very good but not excellent.
