The food was tasty! The pupusas and camarones al ajo were delicious. My passionfruit margarita was refreshing! My friend had the tacos gobernador and she loved them! We didnt want to sit outside so we went inside and to our surprise it was nicely decorared and cool! Ill be coming back! The server was really nice!

Used to be a Gem, Now a Disappointment - Buyer Beware!
For years, Mami Ana's was a must-stop for me whenever I was in Bakersfield. As someone who is not local and only visits 4-5 times a year, this place held a special significance because of its delicious and authentic Salvadorian cuisine. I used to rave about their pupusas and tamales de elote. It was a taste of home away from home.
However, my visit today was nothing short of a heartbreaking disappointment. The bill came out to nearly $80 for food that was far from the authentic Salvadorian flavors I remembered and, frankly, tasted stale and unappetizing. The plátanos, a dish I always looked forward to, were frankly disgusting – oily and clearly not fresh. We barely touched half of the food we ordered.
It strongly appears that Mami Ana's is now under new ownership or management. The quality of the food has plummeted drastically. What was once a source of comfort and deliciousness has become a waste of money and a genuinely unpleasant experience.
Adding insult to injury, the service was shockingly poor. Despite there only being two customers in the entire establishment, the service was slow, inattentive, and lacked any warmth.
It pains me to write this, but I cannot in good conscience recommend Mami Ana's to anyone looking for genuine and tasty Salvadorian food. The authenticity is gone, the freshness is questionable, and the service is subpar. Save your money and your appetite – this is no longer the gem it once was. It's a real shame to see such a beloved spot go downhill.

I love mercado latino, but the service at this place is very slow. I waited so long for my 2 plates of food at an empty restaurant. Food is alright but if you’re looking for a place to eat while dancing or shopping definitely go to Mi Terraza !
