I haven't written a yelp review in a while but I truly feel this place deserves it. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and quickly seated (it was extremely busy). Our waiter, William, was there right when we sat down. He was very welcoming and attentive and made us laugh every chance he got! They had indoor and outdoor seating--both of which were stunning! We chose to sit inside. The food was amazing! William gave us some recommendations and we ended up getting the fresh guacamole (which tasted absolutely amazing!) We also got fish, shrimp, and veggie tacos--all of which were absolutely amazing! They are served on a large platter that is presented beautifully. The prices aren't bad either. The next time I go I'll definitely try more! Nothing is better than a delicious meal served by amazing staff. That's something that's difficult to find these days and I really appreciated the fact that the waitstaff was so attentive, informative and funny, all while being super busy. If you're looking for somewhere cool, delicious, and near everything going on in downtown, this spot is perfect! Would definitely recommend it to everyone! I'll be back, and I need William as my server again! read more

Outstanding tacos! We tried a variety (Chicken, Fish, Shrimp, Carnitas) and all were delicious! Service was friendly and fast and the atmosphere was lively! Great experience! read more

This is my new go to spot I'm telling you i like this place. I've been here 3 times in the past 2 weeks and every single time it's delicious and so good. And let me tell you their pineapple margarita is so good, it so much that i went back 2 times in 1 week lol. Very big open space with lots of seating, and the outdoor is nice, the drink selection is really nice. The food portions are small but just right. read more

We stumbled upon this gem to get some food and boy did we make a great choice! This place is usually super busy but we got there just in time for a booth to fit the 4 of us. The service was good for how busy it seemed and the food was excellent we got a little bit of everything and shared the queso and trio. We all got our own tacos and they were perfect portions. I just wish they us a nacho entree or appetizer but the loaded queso is so good it kinda made me forget how badly I wanted nachos. I will be back to try more! read more

Stopped here while in Detroit and looking for street tacos before heading to an event. Very much enjoyed the restaurant and glad we made it part of our day. Great margarita to compliment awesome chips and salsa. Tried a few of the tacos and enjoyed them all. Comfortable setting and very nice wait staff. Will definitely return. read more

Glad they're open during these tough times. We were able to get a reservation same day. However, everything else from the food to the drinks were all falling flat. The music was slower country music that seemed to take the air out of the balloon. Will second my next thought to come here next time. read more

This place is awesome! Came here for my birthday dinner (Wednesday night) with a group of about 20 coworkers, and we all had a great time. Most of us were able to sit together in one large booth, but the remaining four or five people were able to grab a nearby table. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous - very open design, lots of seating, and an overall inviting atmosphere. Onto the food! We all ordered chips, salsa, guacamole, and one order of queso. Everything was quite delicious, but my favorite sauce had to be the one inside the bottle - spicy, yet still flavorful. Single-handedly, my favorite thing on menu was my drink: the pineapple margarita. I would come back here just for this this! It was extremely refreshing without tasting too alcoholic, plus it's so aesthetically pleasing. My colleagues ordered virgin margaritas, and they had nothing but good things to say about those as well. I was happy to see that the tacos were very reasonably priced, and I ordered one short rib taco, which was delicious! Definitely not the authentic Mexican tacos that you can get back in California, but great nonetheless. Service was completely and utterly outstanding. Our server was able to split all of our checks up and he was able to keep a smile on his face - a feat that many restaurants cannot match. Overall, enjoyed my experience here and I'll definitely be back! read more

Great food and reasonable prices. Great margaritas and we have always gotten good friendly service too

I ran across this place in Nashville and loved it. I found out they had one in Detroit so I had to take my family to check it out. It did not disappoint! We started with the queso and it was cheesy heaven! It's so hard to decide which tacos to get.....decisions, decisions. My husband and I had the fish taco which I loved in Nashville and it was everything I remembered and more. My son had the short rib which I had in Nashville and he said it was delicious. You really can't go wrong with any taco you choose....definitely like that you can mix and match. The homemade tortillas and chips are the BEST! My husband and I also split the Johnny salad. The mix of ingredients was perfect but the salad was a bit over dressed. Our server was good and knowledgable but I will have to say that when a 10 year old points out and is grossed out that he smells like smoke, has dirty nails, and is wiping his sweaty brow....well...kinda turns you off. My son said, "I hope someone else brings us our food. The food and prices are so good that we can overlook the other little issues. We'll be back! read more

First time trying Bakersfield and Evan provided us with exceptional customer service. Vegetarian and gluten free options make this a good spot for groups. read more

It's nice to be able to dine-in again! My boyfriend made a reservation to ensure we get a table upon arrival especially when you've been anticipating to dine-in since foreverrrrr. Such a nice evening, we decided to dine outside. LOVEEE the patio with picnic tables and lights. Super date vibes. Ordered the tacos, $4 a piece. Premium Tortillas and loaded tacos upon arrivallll yassssss. None of the tacos disappointed -- all loaded with meat-cilantro-onions, all the goodnesss. I had the AL PASTOR (has pineapple!), SHORT RIB, CARNITAS, and POLLO DIABLO. if I could, I would try them all. Table service was meh, I don't think she wanted to be there and attempted to memorize the orders and... didn't do a good job. Just write it down. I'd rather you get it right the first time. read more

The service was okay! And the food was pricey but ok. Might come back when life comes back to the arena!

This was my first time dining at Bakersfield. We were seated right away. Thomas was our server. Thomas was pleasant. Thomas explained the menu and how the food came out on a pedestal. We enjoyed some appetizers and ordered our food. Everything was tasty. The pedestal was sat in the middle of the table with each of the items we ordered facing us. I also had a pineapple margarita that was mixed very well! I definitely plan on dining here again. read more

Lively spot downtown, nice vibe to it with a big crowd, and the tacos were pretty good, too!

Small tacos, big taste. These were the smallest tacos I've ever had for $4 a taco but you really are paying for quality food. I had 1 short rib taco and a Milanese torta and couldn't eat the whole thing because I was already full half way through. read more

Cool new spot downtown, right by the new LCA. You could easily walk to an event from this restaurant. Big bar and plenty of seating-outdoor options too. Drinks were great, I got a pineapple margarita that was delish! I really like that they have pitchers of margaritas for a larger group. We had guac, salsa and chips to start. The salsa was great but the guac had too much lime. Not sure if this is how they make it or we just got a bad batch. The tacos are definitely on the smaller side. If you are really hungry you would need at least 3-4 tacos. They do not come with any sides-everything is separate. I would like to go back again and try something new. Cool vibe to hang out-not so much for families. read more

You want tacos, now this is one of the best places I've have been to besides places in Mexican town. Also I've never had a margarita and it made me super buzzed without even finishing it. They have select happy hour specials on a board by the bar or you can always ask your server. I've had many tacos in my life but this place was amazing. If you plan on coming with a party of more than 4 make a reservation. There is street parking and free parking on John r street if you don't mind walking. read more

To start of you must get a Margarita, my husband got the pineapple and I got the seasonal cucumber and both were AMAZING! Next the guacamole is fresh every 2 hours and you can tell they care about their food starting right here. BUT don't worry they show this through ALL their food and drinks. We decided to get tacos. Now it's suggested you get 2-3 tacos for they are small but packed with good ingredients. We got short rib, al pastor, fish, shrimp and carnitas taco. Let me tell you all very fresh and AMAZING. I can not compliment the chef enough for the outstanding job they did. Now to the service short a sweet phenomenal, Megan took great care of us and you could tell she cared that our visit was great. Thanks Bakersfield we will be back!!! read more

Great downtown vibe atmosphere and the tacos are delicious! The bar is a round bar that takes up majority of the main floor with tables surrounding it on the outskirts of the restaurant. I love sitting in tbe outside patio in the summer. read more

Very nice, trendy restaurant. The tacos are expensive but worth the price for the quality. The side dishes are great and the appetizer cheese dip was amazing. They don't offer desert but the old fashioned drink was amazing and I'd substitute that for desert anytime. Close to little Caesar's arena read more

I ordered my friend the pollo diablo tacos from here on Cinco de Mayo. Although they were pretty small in size, they were packed with flavor. The restaurant was very busy but the ambiance was nice and the service was good. Tip: Order 1-2 more tacos if you typically eat bigger sized tacos. read more

Bakersfield has quickly become one of my top favorite restaurants. Since I've been introduced to it, I've now brought several of my friends and family. Each visit, I've encountered great service and scrumptious food. The chips and guacamole and delish. And the carnitas, short rib, and huitelacoche tacos are just mouthwatering. One downfall...The cucumber margarita should be sold year-round. read more

First off let me say that the wait staff of this establishment is second to none. Not only did they help me play an amazing practical joke on my beautiful girlfriend but simultaneously immortalize a treasured memory. Thank you one for going above and beyond the call of duty Carry on My Wayward Sons read more

Took my friend from out of town here and she wanted to go back again the next day! The tacos and guacamole are always super flavorful and fresh. The margaritas are made just right! Food and drinks are well Priced given the quality. They have outdoor seating as well as socially distanced indoor seating (feels outdoor because they can open up the windows). Street parking is usually pretty easy to find, but gets a bit more challenging on the weekend. This is by far one of the best places in Midtown! read more

First time here and will definitely return! The hostess was so friendly and our waiter was as well. The entire staff was pleasant actually! Our waiter took time to explain the menu, offered recommendations and was just overall pleasant. I ordered his recommendation, the short rib tostada, and it was delicious! Two things to note: 1) We waited a little longer than expected for a party of 2 on a weeknight. The hostess offered a table outside that was available but we chose to wait for something indoors. 2) It's a bit loud. Not the music but conversations around you. Not the place for quiet conversation. Overall we had a great experience and I plan to be back! read more

Bakersfield DET - Short rib tostada, delicious! - Tacos Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

When a taco tastes like something completely else, but it is so good you don't care what it is...yeah that kind of taco place

The queso was delicious. Chips fresh and crunchy. Shrimp and short rib tacos were exceptional. The salad was lackluster, the service was fine, slightly slow because they we're busy, but they were kind and helpful. The ambiance is chill, elegant decor, but altogether casual. read more

Dropped into Bakersfield with a party of 5 at 3:55pm- they sat us even though the restaurant didn't open until 4pm- very nice introduction. We loved everything we had- from the tortilla chips to the margaritas to the tacos- all delicious. The guac was chunky and that was a bonus- some of the best guac I've had in a restaurant (and I live in California, home to the avocado!)! The highlight though? Our server Scott. What a nice, kind and efficient waiter. It was a pleasure to meet him and to know that people like him exist in our world. Well done Bakersfield. We'll be back! read more

Been here multiple times, good time every time. Good vibes and good food! On this specific visit, the service was exceptional due to the bartender, Anthony, who took great care of us. Will be back forsure! read more

Some of the best tacos in Detroit. Only reason it's not 5 star is the short rib tacos are hit or miss and so is the loaded queso. Some days the rib is moist and very tender other times it's hard and crusted and cold. Last time we were there we found a hair cooked right into the chips that came with the queso, but we have never had that issue any other time. read more

Cool decor, airy, clean. Quick to seat us on a Wednesday, pre concert. Ordered all at once. Chorizo Queso with warm, salty chips were great, cheesy and goey without grease layer. Variety of tacos- shrimp ok, fish ok, chicken ok, beef short rib fantastic both in taco and tostada form (recommend the squeeze of fresh lime juice), and cochinta (braised pork) pretty good. Ordering single tacos adds up pretty quick but that's price of Gentrified Detroit. Sever was a let down, never smiled, annoyed that we didn't want to sit in the hot, direct sunlight, sucks that I'm expected to tip 15-20% to a b!tch. Wish I was a server in these times! Will we go back.. maybe but there's a ton of others restaurants to try these days. I've had better craft tacos at MCantina in Dearborn. read more

High energy. Fast service. Bar and tables seating. Walked in and experience a 15 min wait before being seated--not bad on a Red Wing game night over the holidays. Lotsa variety of drinks. Not into tacos but we'll made nonetheless. read more

A friend of mine and I attended Bakersfield today and It was a wonderful experience. The drinks and food were really good but the service was outstanding! Everyone greets you at the door and both of us were disabled and Tommy and Will treated us like royalty. Kathleen and I felt really special! The place is really cute and fun. Thank you so much! read more

I went to Bakersfield before a Piston's game and had an awesome experience. My friend and I parked at the Fox garage and walked, so that was already a huge plus. There was a 45 minute wait when we called on Friday night around dinner time, so normal expectations were met on a Friday night for dinner time... and we completely lucked out. We got two seats right at the corner of the bar and had impeccable service. The bartenders were all extremely attentive and my friend ordered a house margarita which ran about $8 and we started off with the chips and guacamole. The guacamole was fantastic and came with huge chucks of avocado; super fresh and delicious. I ordered the Al Pastor and Pollo Rojo tacos. Both were fantastic and they accommodated my dairy sensitivity perfectly. My friend also ordered two tacos and had two shots that ran him $3 each. The bartender informed us they offer a $3 shot each night. So for a margarita, guacamole and chips, four tacos and two shots, the bill ran us under $40 (before tip of course). I was super impressed and will definitely be re-visiting this location. Thumbs up! read more

We sat at the bar on a Sunday afternoon. It was a nice size crowd and the vibe was cool. Attentive bar tender. The drinks were good and served in mason jars. I'd describe this as a trendy spot. Street tacos and tortilla chips with queso was good. Mix the rojo and verde salsa together....delicious. read more
