Live the food

Nick Goodlett

Very good service and quick food. Tacos were very good but are definitely on the smaller side. Matty was a great bartender.

Delicious food and friendly service

Matt Bohach

Service was excellent, friendly and fast. But it wasn't super busy. Great queso but the tacos weren't spectacular, just solid. Weird taco presentation didn't help things either.

Great spot for some great Tequilla cocktails. I'd recommend going with a group and simply enjoying the experience. The food is decent but the atmosphere is lively and meant to be enjoyed. They get very busy so be prepared.

This was one of the only open places at dusk. We had a group of 8 and quickly got seats in the booth! To begin, we got virgin margaritas and they were very good! It was sweet with a perfect pinch of tingling spice. We got the pollo verdes, papas rajas, and the huitlacoche tacos. The tacos are very small, about the size of an orange. The ingredients as well as the tortilla were fresh, but the pairings of certain flavors just didn’t work. These tacos were a HIT or a MISS depending on what you ordered. Our server was incredibly fast and kind, but the food was just lacking. I would give this place a 7/10. (would definitely come back for the virgin margaritas!)

Bakersfield is a Mexican restaurant located on Penn ave downtown pgh. The tacos are good, my favorite one is the short rib. They also have $3 taco Tuesday. Bakersfield also has fresh fruit juice margaritas

Amazing food, nice atmosphere, and a great selection of tequilas and mezcals.

The cocktails could be a little more creative, but the queso with chorizo is unparalleled to anywhere else in the city, so I can't complain.

Definitely recommend for a more casual night out.

I mean I kid you not, the worst tacos I’ve ever had. One was dry, then extra wet, then bland. Just awful. Extremely small tacos as well. I can’t believe how bad this place is.
