50 Best Taco Restaurants in Bakersfield

“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!“

“My must stop spot when visiting California! Food is amazing and the staff goes above and beyond.“

“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.“

“Excellent homestyle traditional food and presentation representing the wonderful state of Michoacan. Our food was fresh and made to order. The server was wonderful and patient with the modifications some of our younger guests requested.

Their aguas frescas are made in house from fresh ingredients and they bottle them, which was convenient to take on the go instead of using those flimsy to-go cups. The place is very small so there may be a bit of a wait to be seated if it's full. Especially for those with large groups.

The only drawback is that, unfortunately, there is no easy access to the restroom. You have to walk through a cramped kitchen to the very back. However, the food is worth the visit regardless of this minor quirk.“

“One of the BEST restaurants in Bakersfield . The burgers and fries are big and tasty . The juices they have are incredible. Will definitely be coming back .“

“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“

“The appetizer ceviche was 10/10 and different from any other ceviche I’ve had. The flavor was perfect. The appetizer fries were good too, reminded me of an upgraded animal fry…..I had the tempura shrimp tacos. Flavor was great just a little too battered for me…Overall loved it and will be back soon.“

“A + + + +. Absolutely delicious Asada tacos and refried beans. These are my favorite items every time I eat there. I recommend getting their green salsa and loading it on the beans and the tacos so yummy. If you’ve drove by and thought about stopping do so you won’t regret it. Plus the prices are great.“

“good food, great owners. 🌮“

“Los tacos de pastor 😋🌮 están deliciosos“

“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“

“Great Tacos! The food is consistently very good w great flavor from the asada, to the chicken and/or carnitas. Very clean restaurant and impressive staff.“

“My goto place to get tacos on my lunch hour. I usually get 4 tacos 2 carne asada and 2 Cabeza with everything with green salsa. They only accept cash as payment. Good thing fastrip is right there to get cash and get a drink. I would highly recommend it.“

“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.“

“❤️ the quesabirria and TopRamen Birria combo😋“

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

“Absolutely delicious food and huge burritos. Best Mexican food in Bakersfield that I've found.“

“Great food, good service. I will be back and I don’t eat out often, so I like to make it count!“

“The pastor tacos were very good, had that authentic Tijuana style flavor. The asada tacos were okay but recommended pastor. The salsas went well with the food. Liked how they have free beans on the side. Horchata didn’t have that original flavor. Outdoor atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Sus tacos son de un sabor unico pues estan echos al carbon y sus salsas riquisimas Ademas de la atencion“

“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!“

“The food is simply yummy and they have a drive thru!!! Need I say more?“

“Los tacos de pastor 😋🌮 están deliciosos“

“Best taco truck in town hands down! I come every week for their pastor tacos and burritos. Support local!“

“The best chili verde pizza I’ve ever had! I love how much events they have for the community, young people, families, and children. This is my son’s favorite pizza spot!! 🤘 🍕“

“Where should I stick my fork first? These are good. They come with Guacamole AND Beans.
I’m pretty sure they would use ground beef before, but now you get the Chopped Asada! The Fries are good for fast food style, soft and filled with potato.
I like to get it without Nacho Cheese because I can taste the food more. You’ll still get the Shredded White Cheese. I also don’t get the Sour Cream because I like this food!
Price talk— right price for fries of this quality. The other asada fries that I like this much are in Bakersfield’s Old Town Kern.

One tip for Señior Taco: Today the fries had a bit too much seasoning salt.
Second tip for Señior Taco: careful not to let the Pico De Gallo sit for too long. You don’t want it to start fermenting.“

“Some of the best tacos in bako“

“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!!!“

“Bomb tacos!!! I highly recommend“

“Just stopped here while fuelling up across the street at Speedway. WOW...what an awesome find. loved everything we ordered and the staff was very helpful and extremely friendly. spreading the word to the rest of our rv traveling friends. Would give 10 stars if I could.“

“Tacos and burritos r sooo good. Totally recommend.“

“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!!“

“the huevos rancheros of course and the Tortas I guess pretty much everything there but mostly the breakfast“

“My partner and I were enjoying our one full day off this week and decided to keep it simple: a Taco Bell delivery through DoorDash. No cooking, no dining out—just a relaxed day at home.

Everything was smooth until I realized I couldn’t customize items on the DoorDash menu. Since I have to avoid dairy for health reasons, this was a problem. I called the store directly and spoke with (I believe) Zane. Even though he was clearly busy, he was patient, helpful, and worked with me to make sure the “no cheese” notes were added to my order in real time.

That small gesture made a big difference. After a long week of work, it was a relief not to run into order issues or have to leave the house. Because of the service I received, I’ll be saving this Taco Bell as my go-to location moving forward.

Thank you, Zane—you turned a technical hiccup into a positive experience. This store gets my recommendation for anyone looking for great customer service with their Taco Bell favorites.“
