I had been wanting Tamales for some time. A Friend of mine ERIC, recommended This particular establishment on California " GRANDMA'S" . He said the tamales were DELICIOUS, made with Manteca Masa which makes them moist ( NOT DRY LIKE SOME PLACES) & the tamales are Meaty ( NOT FULL OF MASA, LIKE SOME) . MY FRIEND DID NOT DISAPPOINT ME. They have Pork, Chicken, Pineapple,Strawberry, Jalapeno & cheese I think. (THE PORK TAMALES WERE ?????? MY FAVORITE. ) My first observation were they were MOIST...The Masa just crumbled as you break into the tamale. A BITE OF HEAVEN IN EVERY BITE ? ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. If you live in Bakersfield and are looking for a AMAZING RESTAURANT where your taste buds will be DANCING " GRANDMA'S" is the place to VISIT. Their ASADA tacos are out of this world ( They have 2 sizes) & handmade tortillas. I give this place 10 ⭐'s . It's a little tiny place PACKED FULL OF FLAVORS TO MAKE YOU DROOL. VISIT GRANDMA'S ON CALIFORNIA , OFF UNION AVE. IN BAKERSFIELD CA. ???YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID . TELL THEM MIRI & ERIC SENT YOU!!!! ENJOY!!Parking: Small lot but worth the wait to find suitable parking. It's just that good this parking lot is always crowded.

Best breakfast burrito in town. They make the tortillas homemade right in the front of the restaurant. I'd give 10 out of 5 stars if I could. Will definitely be coming back. Delicious!

Best menudo I've ever had in my life ! Very good customer service, and the place is set up nicely! Hand made tortillas for your meal, the food was very fresh and had an amazing taste. The environment was very family oriented, and welcoming. I'm not from around these parts of town where the restaurant is located but believe me when I say that I took a chance and stopped by, now I'm willing to drive the 2 hour commute to enjoy their delicious food again!
