    Chips & salsa! Salsas were very fresh and tasty. We had various street tacos & all of our selections were delicious. Bakersfield is a fun place to grab a drink & reasonably priced meal before the FC Cincinnati soccer games.

    The food and drinks were very good . However, we felt rushed the entire time. We were asked to order drinks as soon as we sat down, asked about appetizers before the drinks arrived, entrees before the appetizers arrived and they were clearing the plates before we were done. I get it, they need to turn tables but it was a bit aggressive.

    My husband and I ate at Bakersfield before the FCC game. Usually, everything is good, but this time things weren’t as good. It wasn’t crowded, but our waitress didn’t give us enough attention. She didn’t check on our food after it was delivered, and our glasses were empty, and we had to look for our waitress to refill them. Our queso was delicious. We had 5 tacos. They were all good, but we felt that the chicken and pork were a little overcooked and chewy. I’m sure this was not the norm, but we were a little disappointed this time.

    I go here a lot and it’s a great spot. Was a little loud with a lot of people talking at higher volumes. You mind it less after a few nicely priced margaritas.
