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.“

“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 ⭐️“

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

“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 !!“

“Good for what it is. A quick Taco or burrito while on the road. Flavorful and decent value. Obviously a picnic bench under an easy up on the side of the freeway is not going to be a five-star dining experience. I'd stop there if you're hungry.“

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

“Claro q sí la comida Oaxakena es la mejor“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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☺️“

“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!“

“best burgers in Bakersfield“

“Came here today for the first time. I was debating between chicken or ribs. The cashier/owner was friendly and helpful explaining menu items. I bought two whole chicken family meals with all the sides. Chicken and salsa were on point. The owner ended up giving me two free large ribs for my wife and I to try, oh man, meat fell off the bone. We will definitely be back!“

“The fries are super crispy inside & out. They're very generous w/ toppings & sauces, it lowkey overshadows the patty. If you wanna taste the meat I'd get the double.

They also give you a pager so you can walk around to the other food trucks.“

“Best Carnitas in Bakersfield👌👏“

“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“

“I absolutely love visiting this place! Whenever I eat here, I always indulge in their delicious Mango Lassi and Kheer. I’ve been several times, and each visit feels like coming home. The staff treats me like a family member, making every experience even more special.

I’ve never had a complaint about the food, pricing, or service. Today, I enjoyed Paratha, Mango Lassi, and Kheer, all for a total of $18—$8 for the Paratha, $6 for the Kheer, and $4 for the Mango Lassi.

They truly create a welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of background or race. As a Mexican, I feel right at home here! I always enjoy the food and the warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Parking: front of Dhaba“

“Los tacos de pastor 😋🌮 están deliciosos“

“If you LOVE chilaquiles then this place is for you! It’s a small food truck.

My husband ordered the chilaquiles plate w/ chipotle sauce, asada meat, 2 sunny side eggs & the toppings they offer minus cilantro & he really loved it he said it was the right amount of spice without over doing it.

Now they do offer tacos & tortas as well but I would stay clear of ordered just a torta as it doesn't have any spread nor the bread to meat ratio is way off. I felt like I was eating more bread than anything else. My mom got 2 tacos & she also said they were okay for the most part. So that's why I would just recommend the chilaquiles since my husband seem to enjoy his meal the most.

Besides the food, they do have a little shop where you can sit and eat, it's small but it will do. When we went it wasn't busy so there was room for us to sit & also it felt nice inside not hot at all. The food did take some time to get to us but they had the tv going and our conversation with each other flowing we didn't notice how long it took.

Anyways if we're back would be just for the chilaquiles but might be awhile until we're back as we're not usually on that side of town.“

“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“

“Excellent food, excellent vibe!“

“Just phenomenal Al pastor tacos. The hot bean slurry over the fresh tortilla chips to complement the tacos smh. The salsa both red and green just the right amount of heat. I enjoyed three tacos for lunch and then four for dinner here in picture. Saved the location for future occasions when in the area.“

“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“

“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“

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

“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!!!“

“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!!“

“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🙏💯💯💯“

“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!“

“Absolutely fuego. On the pricy side but what food isnt now a days. You go to mcdonalds and pay the same except this place is way better. I got a burger and loaded fries and they did not dissapoint, Adding generous amounts of sauce and grilled onions. I will be returning.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“Tlacoyos! Tortas! Tacos!“

“Some of the best tacos in bako“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“bueno y barato...........“

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

“Best chicken in Bakersfield hands down. Amazing crew and customer service.“
