50 Best Food Trucks in Bakersfield

“8/10 did the job, I was craving for some Mexican food since I was in the area , I would like to point out I’m from San Diego and very close to the border with Tijuana so maybe my taco standards are very high but other than that I like them , if they could change the tortilla to a different brand or something I’m pretty sure they’ll be much better, but what really made this a very pleasant experience was how nice the people working there were , really makes you feel welcome.“

“Fresh, piping hot and delicious! Must go to when in Whistler!“

“2 bites in im melting. Finally some good Mexican food off the 5 freeway. Food was hot, meat had so much flavor and don't get me started on the salsa. Prices are fair and everyone was so nice. Portions you can not complain about. I see why they won an award 🏆. My new spot before I head up north or south. I can see my self being a regular.“

“their birria tacos with avocado sauce are so delicious!! and on Tuesday is the best day to go to experience their tacos, but go after 10am if you want to avoid the crowd in the evening. Amazing food & great customer service!“

“Very Nice Food !! 🥘 With Good Behaviour Special Muskan’s Behavior Nice N Friendly ❤️🧣“

“Saw 2 gentlemen posted up with their mobile truck at the amtrak bakersfield station. For 30 min contemplating if I should get food from here. No regrets made. Ordered 3 tacos asada and it was like Goku going into super sayien 3 good. If you are reading this and wondering, dont think. Only place your order.“

“This place is amazing. First time here had the torta and chilaquiles, let me tell you it doesn't disappoint. Must stop and try you won't regret it. Owners are very nice and attentive. The food is made and prepaired on the spot. The freshly made salsas are delicious. The meat was cooked and flavored on point.. nothing is canned. Glass Bottled drinks available.“

“Sooo delicious tortillas are always made fresh meat very tender me and my family love going here“

“OMG!!! I ordered from your food truck during Whisky Flat Days, in Kernville. I had the pastrami dog and let me tell you what, it was amazing!!! I’ve never been a fan of sweet tea, but tried yours and it was the best I’ve ever tasted! Everything, including the service was top-notch!! I’ll be looking for you at all public events that I attend!!! 😋 5 ⭐️“

“Passing through from AZ to NorCal. Not much to eat that is highly rated in Bakersfield, so took a chance on a well rated food truck.

First time ordered a mix of chicken and ribs, a burrito and a pastor street taco to try.

Fantastic. We knew we’d stop in when we pass through later in the week to go home, and we did. 6 pastor tacos this time, and I cannot put into works how good these are.

Stop and get the pastor street tacos. Perfect meat to tortilla ratio, corn tortillas like they should be, just stop and get the tacos.

We’ll be back every time we travel through Bakersfield.“

“best burgers in Bakersfield“

“Stopped here on our way home from Utah to Santa Maria. Not a lot of choices in the area! The food was awesome. Her credit card machine was down but we didn’t have enough cash to pay for everything. Basically we owe her $10. She was ok with it but I’d love to know where/how we can pay her !!“

“Excellent food, excellent vibe!“

“Los tacos de pastor 😋🌮 están deliciosos“

“I was here on 5.4.26...I got the 3 tacos de cabeza and they were delicious!!! Meat was fresh tortillas were simmered just right lemons 🍋 😋 and radishes with the tostadas with beans hmmm they were so good. Highly recommend...exit 13 on hwy 99 on the chevron parking.“

“Ordered The Philly cheesesteak which was fantastic also ordered the chicken salad, which was really good. Both portions are nice size and the prices are great. This was a big thumbs up based on a recommendation from my niece that I should go there after she had visited herself did not disappoint.“

“I would definitely recommend it for it's different, but definitely good potato snacks, however, when eating there or waiting your order then you definitely want to sit somewhere else. All of their tables and chairs were so sticky, looked, and felt like they hadn't been cleaned in forever“

“Best Tacos/Mexican food truck in all of Bakersfield AND California! You will NOT be disappointed by this food truck. From their delicious, flavorful, mouth watering and award-winning carna asada tacos, to their seafood/aquachillies food; you'll come back every day begging for more! My family and I fly out to Bakersfield 3 times a year to visit family. When we fly in, we visit this taco truck every day, 5-7 straight days in a row to partake of this beautiful and tactfully prepared food truck. Sometimes we go here twice in one day (not kidding, good is that AMAZING). Food: Mouth-watering, juicy, and lots of flavor that has your mouth, tongue, mind, and stomach craving more! Service: The people that prepare the food are super nice, clean, and have high standards for the food they cook and serve. Atmosphere: Getto surrounding. They have benches with covered eating area. If it's cold outside, there are no heat lamps at all. Don't come here for an eloquent night out; come here for the incredible and delicious food! If I lived in Bakersfield, I'd go here 7 days a week. UPDATE: I fly out from Arizona to Bakersfield just for a day to eat lunch at this place (yes, either I'm crazy OR this is the GREATEST mexican taco food truck in the universe). I'm a big mexican taco truck lover, but this taco truck takes the win for the most flavorful mexican food ever! Food & FLAVOUR: Heart stopping, mouth watering, and tons of flavor that make you beg for more food. They must put drugs in their food because I'm addicted! Try their carna asada tacos and make sure to also try their aquachillies plate! Location: This taco truck is on the corner of Mt Vernon and Brundage. Be careful though, there's 2 taco trucks on this corner. Price: Comes out to $1.00 per carna asada taco. It's $5 for a plate of 4 carna asada tacos and rice and beans (great deal). Service: Really nice people who serve the food. Always smiling, happy, and fun loving people. BEST TACOS in the whole United States so far!“

“Claro q sí la comida Oaxakena es la mejor“

“Wow the birrria tatemada is amazing it's good to see variations on a classic dish. For me it's the Little char bits that smacks with flavor plus the salsa and lemon comes along just to elevates without overpowering with hot /spiciness. The beans and homemade corn tortillas complete the meal. I'll be back for sure. Fiy the micheladas are on point.“

“Food was good, service was good, very nice staff. Was my husbands birthday, they made it special, he loved it. The manager goes to each table to greet and thank people for coming. I thought that was nice to do, makes you remember them. Nice people“

“JUST GO, this is my first time having Jalisco style Mexican food and it won’t be the last. These guys do it right the owners are hard workers and the food is BOMB. The Jalisco burrito is the most popular thing for a reason, it sounds crazy with the steak, shrimp, and chorizo but trust me it’s amazing. Everything so full of flavor and just great definitely will be back when in town“

“If you want the very tastiest, off the charts flavor shrimp cocktail then you have come to the right place. I’m not going to lie, first impression was a small trailer with a table to eat right in a gas station parking lot but All that fades away once you begin eating. The Clamato base and perfectly chopped veg and cilantro and tons of good size shrimp! They are not skimpy but generous to a fault in my opinion than most restaurants will offer and topped with ripe avocado slices! We were served both tostada style tortillas and saltine crackers and napkins and soup size spoons. The 32 oz tall cup was rimmed with Michelada Sal con Chile! PERFECTION in a cup. The proprietors are clean cut, nice uniforms and very accommodating and friendly and bilingual. We will return because there was nothing preventing us from becoming repeat loyal customers. The menu is extensive too! Bravo! Enthusiastic thumbs up! Well done! The 32 oz was large enough for 2 people to be satisfied (on this occasion). Try them once I guarantee you will be satisfied too“

“We found this place by chance, as the restaurant we were heading to is permanently closed. We told the person who served us what he recommended, they have lamb and beef birria, he very kindly told us let me give you a try first and you can choose. He served us a lamb taco and another beef taco, both of which were very delicious. We decided on the lamb, it was delicious. They served us a lot of handmade tortillas and a lot of meat, it was a very good experience. Thank you very much, we recommend it to family and friends☺️“

“Los mejores tacos de birria en BAKERSFIELD CA !! Super Recomendadisimos. 100 de 100. Excellente Atencion por parte del Propietario ALAN. Sin duda alguna volveremos a visitarlo, La Pasta esta rikisima Super recomdedado. Saludos desde Los Mochis, Sinaloa,Mexico🙏💯💯💯“

“I'm visiting from England. My first time eating Mexican food. These quesabirria were simply one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. Shared one to taste and then went back for more. If that were the last thing I ever ate, I would die a happy woman!!!“

“Food is ALLWAYS PREPARED when you order. Is hot, well seasoned, and the portions are well served. Pricess are reasonable unlike them other places. Some places have increased their prices by up to 30%. Not these guys, prices are still quite reasonable.“

“Love there Tacos and Avocados salsa soo good my taco spot all day go give them a try 🥴🥴🥴“

“This is the best north Indian dhaba food i've ever had! Homely authentic food yet delicious...my favourites were amritsari kulcha and mixed paratha. Very friendly staff and truly care about the customer experience and willing to customize the thalis and meals per our preferences. We ended up staying an extra night in bakersfield so that we could experience breakfast again the next day. Truly hidden gem place run by the couple.“

“That Smash Shack is a fantastic place for anyone craving a flavorful and satisfying burger experience. The atmosphere is casual, welcoming, and perfect for a quick meal or a relaxed visit with friends. The food was fresh, expertly prepared, and packed with flavor, with every bite showcasing quality ingredients and attention to detail. The burgers were juicy, well balanced, and served hot, while the portions offered great value. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. I appreciated the clean environment and the overall commitment to quality. That Smash Shack exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.“

“Some of the best tacos in bako“

“Visiting from LA where there’s a taco truck on every corner. This place can compete with some of the best. Ever had goat taco ? They have it and it’s extremely flavorful and amazing !! Very big tacos as well. Consome is included. Consome and drinks are self serve so refills is 100% a plus ?.“

“This food truck posted up at Polo park one day and we were hungry. So glad it was there because Oh my God are the loaded curry fries delicious! By far one of the best things I've eaten in Bakersfield. The depth of flavor is incredible and and had some good heat (spice) spread out in the fries. Every Saturday my daughter has soccer and every Saturday since eating this I have left disappointed because the truck has not been back. If you happen to stumble upon this truck give it a try and I guarantee you'll be keeping an eye out for it every week after“

“This may have just became my favorite taco spot!! Met with smiles at the window, I had questions beyond my Spanish capabilities and the lovely woman’s english, yet the cook/owner/ man behind the counter was so descriptive and patient. Tuesday had tacos for a Buck!! So I ordered some carne asada and el pastor. I also needed to try the rice and beans, they tell a lot about a business. We added two canned Pepsis and for under $15 fed both of us well. The asada tacos were perfection!! Melt in your mouth perfection, the produce was fresh, the salsa was dynamite, and I could have put down a dozen. El Pastor was delicious only dimmed by the excellence of the asada. Then the tell all… the rice and beans l… they were done by a perfectionist taught by a grandmother, or Abuela in this case. Whole pinto “pot” beans were seasoned to perfection and the rice was what I’ve been searching for since my favorite restaurant closed a few years back. If you haven’t tried this truck, Do It! After hearing the love coming from the cook as he described what things were, I’m coming back, going back, may never leave. There’s so much more I need to experience. I’ll keep you posted. Good no no, I take that back, excellent food!! Great prices! Lovely customer service!! Don’t miss out!!“

“I had catering done at my house good price GREAT service definitely keeping them food was delicious“

“The carnitas are some of the best I have eaten in Bakersfield and priced better than most places. In twenty five minutes I saw at least fifteen cars stop and pick up meals by their regular customers(Owners knew them.) and that screamed volumes! It’s a Saturday and Sunday event and they close at 2:00 pm according to the signs.

Food was great! 5 stars.

Service excellent!

Atmosphere is on Union ave with lots of cars, if you’re picking up tacos or their fat burritos that’s not really relevant. The owners and people are so awesome!“

“Best Carnitas in Bakersfield👌👏“

“Very nice food, great value thank you.“

“I love this place we go at least once a week for breakfast there very friendly n I love there food“

“I visited this spot and overall had a really good experience. The atmosphere was nice and made it a great place to relax and enjoy something sweet.

The only downside was that ordering was done entirely on a tablet, which made it a little difficult to make adjustments or customize items the way you might want. It would be nice to have a bit more flexibility there.

That said, the desserts were SO good—definitely the highlight! Everything tasted amazing and made the visit totally worth it. I’d still come back just for the desserts alone.“

“I'm usually picky about Mexican seafood being that I am from the coast of México myself, but I gotta say all that I tried was very well done. My friends loved it too. I took one star off because their menu is small and reserved to cold seafood items, but it is honestly well worth stopping by. Drinks are not sold here but it is parked at a gas station, so you can usually walk to get a drink before the order is ready.“

“❤️ the quesabirria and TopRamen Birria combo😋“

“múy rico los tacos y tortas. 100℅ Recomendado. super deli.😋“

“Our friends recommended this place to me & let me tell you, their fish tacos are Amazing!! I’ve been back twice in a week, the Empanadas preparadas are amazing as well, haven’t tried everything else but im sure its just as good, customer service is great & great seating area with shade if you feel like eating there. Can’t wait to go back!!“

“bueno y barato...........“

“Food is awesome !!! Definitely my favorite marisco spot“

“only cafe de la olla and the menudo is verry good“
