50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Bakersfield

“Most under rated Mexican restaurant in Bakersfield! Amazing family owned! A must check out place!“

“amazing food, amazing customer service. 10/10 would recommend“

“Really good service and delicious food! Tacos de tripa were great. Tortillas freshly made😍“

“Food was tasty. It was a little busy for the two waitresses working. Place looked trashy tables not bussed when we walked in.“

“This place has the best Mexican food in all of Bakersfield!!! We love their food!! My youngest son loves the fajitas. My oldest son has the chicken tacos. My husband has enchiladas or a tostada. I have chile rellano and asada taco. Everything we’ve had to eat here is delicious!!! Lupita and Betty are the best!!!“

“Went in and ordered 7 breakfast burritos. While I waited, I had a cup of coffee. By the time they finished my order my coffee was empty. Being that it was only coffee, I asked for a refill and was charged. My tab was 90 bucks. They couldn't give a free refill on a 6 ounce cup of coffee? Then they went on to tell me that every cup of chili would be an added charge, after the first 1. Don't get me wrong, the beans (which we added to every burrito and charged) were so delicious, but the skimpy portion of sausage and, bacon was disappointing. Great flavor though.“

“After leaving another area restaurant/bar due to zero service, we decided to stop into Nuestro Mexico. So glad we did. The servers remembered us even after it had been awhile since our last visit. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. From that moment on - the food, cocktails, service was ON POINT! Best decision we made. Comfortable atmosphere in historic central Bako. Highly recommended. We’ll be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious food, Nice atmosphere and Great service.“

“The service was excellent. The person working the register and taking the order was super nice.

The decor of the place is quite simple, but nice.

The Breakfast Burrito was perfect.

I had one Burrito and tortilla chips.

There is a salsa bar that is excellent. I highly recommend the salsa to the far right and the onions with habanero peppers. Both are superb.

The Burrito was well cooked and it had multiple layers of food and flavors.

I recommend Sebastian's Taqueria.

It is open from 6 am to 2 pm.“

“I'm like a food critic, and I'm from Alaska, and I came to this place from a gentleman named Vito Martinez who recommended this place to try out and introduce me to the owner. I have massive high-quality taste buds for tacos ? and more on the menu to try out. They chilaquiles Rancheros are by far the best I've tried in Bakersfield so far since I've been here for about a month, and they customer service is well mannered and helpful with a warm smile greeting, I'm a BIG fan of guacamole, and it tasted just like homemade of the way it should taste. The tacos has an amazing crunch and unique light flavor stuffed taco that I really enjoyed, and the Enchiladas de Mole was on point and the Shrimp Cocktail was a mouth watering flavore with unique texture and very big chonky mix all in one Big Cup, overall very fulfilling due to the massive portions?, so overall what I tried so far was perfect massive portions for just tacos for the right price to have a happy belly of enjoyment. If you wanna enjoy they food and stay cool from the heat, then come inside and park or walk here and enjoy the amazing atmosphere they have and the clean environment while dining in. They salsa and condiments are really homemade flavored salsas with a perfect thickness, so it doesn't run down my hand while or make a mess while enjoying my food. I highly recommend them for when you're hungry or family dine in or if you're in a hurry. One recommendation I would request is big flyer singns or lights of a guid to the restaurant when people drive by on the main roads for a more viewable seen and attraction. Wonderful experience here and they have karaoke on Taco Tuesdays and Fridays, and I'll be for sure coming back for more and other food to try on the menu. Keep up the good work, everyone, and the cooks in the back the, everyone deserves a raise and a couple of business shirt uniforms. God Bless ??“

“This place has something called the grande burrito and they mean it this burrito is huge it can easily feed 2 people twice for just under 20$ and it's good you can order it anyway you like it if you ask them to thay will cut it in half and put it into two containers for two people I have a friend that is lactose intolerant and if you tell them they will put the cheese and dairy on the side and a little container so you can choose to add it or not me and my fam always give them a complicated order and they usually always get it right if thay don't they fix it in my opinion it's a low priced option to eat a lot of halfway healthy food in this day and age“

“Hands down the best tacos we’ve had in a long time. My husband loves the hot Cheetos tacos. The carne asada is delicious. This has become our regular Sunday Spot. The staff is amazing. So friendly and personable.“

“That barbacoa🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 we get it every time we go❤️❤️❤️“

“Agave Grill & Tequila has a fun vibe with a bit of a nightlife twist. It definitely had more of a nightclub feel than I expected, but it was still a nice experience overall. The music was upbeat, the crowd was lively, and the atmosphere had great energy.

The food was solid, and the drink selection especially the tequila options was impressive. It’s a good spot if you’re looking for a place to eat and stay a little later for drinks and music.

Not your typical quiet dinner setting, but if you're in the mood for something with a little more energy, it’s worth checking out!“

“Super delicious chicken at the right price. The location is right by the train tracks and you can see them cooking the chicken and ribs over the fire. They have tables and benches if you want to sit down and eat. We've gone with our 2 kids and its safe. The owner has always checked on us to make sure everything is ok. We would definitely recommend this place. You cant beat the price!“

“My wife and I stopped for quick lunch on our way to Las Vigas. We ordered the shrimp pupusas and the bean & cheese one. The food was yummy (while a little too salty), and the atmosphere was inviting. Hopefully, we could have a chance to come over again.“

“My Sister Loves Thier Menudo! I Like The Chili Reyellnos.“

“Mauricio the cook deserves a damn raise and a party. I accidentally left my purse yesterday because my child was upset and I carried her out while my husband paid. I called this morning and the waitress said it wasn't there and sounded Shakey like she was scared so I felt suspicious. I came in anyway and the waitress was nowhere to be seen but Mauricio immediately said it was there and handed it over. I cried a little and tipped him for his honesty. Real gentleman are rare these days, he's a real gentleman. His honesty is refreshing and he really saved my ass today.“

“Menudo and tacos my favorite 😎“

“The food we ordered was delicious , so was dessert. Also our adult beverages were prepared just right . This is our second time in there. So far good . The place is nice and clean . Our server was friendly and very attentive. Reasonable prices and good size portion on the food .“

“I really like this place. It was my first time trying it. The service was awesome, and the food was so good. If you like mariscos with a great beer and/or a michelada, then this is a place for you. They have a grupo, but they also play great music from their playlist.“

“Great friggin place for quality eats in Bako.“

“My first visit. I spent $26.00 and ordered #2 - two tacos, rice and beans, and the #18 - enchilada & chile relleno with rice and beans.

The service was classy and top notch. I walked in looking homeless and haggard and was given the same quality of service as soccer grandpa in the new SUV.

I got home after walking 4 blocks, the food was still so hot it was like I'd eaten there. The flavor is superb.
The beans and rice are fantastic and do a great job at feeding the soul.
