One of the nicest Mexican restaurants I've been to and diverse. Wasn't expecting a place like this in Bakersfield. It was nice.
My first time there and definitely not the last one. Waiting time was a little longer than expected (probably an hour) but was worth it. Food is great, life music was AMAZING, service was great and staff was friendly, helpful and on point. Highly recommended!!!
only cafe de la olla and the menudo is verry good
