Great atmosphere, cool people and decent food. Bakersfield is a cool spot to get some American Tex-mex style food. My favs are the queso dip, guacamole and chips, and above all the Margaritas. There aren't a ton of options, especially for vegans/vegetarians so I stick to the basics appetizers. I recently noticed they've added portobello tacos and a salad that is meatless but I have yet had the opportunity to try either. At some point, when I am willing to eat fish/chicken I'd like to try some of their other options. This place is worth a happy hour visit. read more

Great place for fresh tacos! Margaritas were delicious and a nice open dining experience!

Super good tacos? Super good drinks and you can't get PITCHERS of margaritas! As a family that loves tacos and all things Hispanic we give an A+ to Bakersfield. read more

Great tacos! it tends to be pretty busy all the time. The tacos are small and pricy so get more than you think you will need. Margaritas are great! I like that you can make any of them spicy! read more

We are in town for the race and saw Bakersfield was new to town. We frequent the Indy location, but this experience exceeded what we were expecting! Best tacos, queso, and margaritas in town! The building is beautiful and service was spot on. The host was very friendly, our server was excellent, and the GM (Grayson) cleared our plates and asked about our experience. Impressive!! I got the pineapple margarita, and it didn't disappoint! The Baja fish taco was my favorite! A definite go-to spot. We will be back! read more

Bakersfield DET - Shrimp, mahi, and chicken tacos - Tacos Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

My husband and I have eaten here three times this week. I've ordered something different every time. My husband and I both really like the shrimp and fish tacos. The short rib taco tastes like it has a little cinnamon in it so I don't recommend that. The al pastor tacos and the portobello tacos are both good. Yesterday I had the chicken taquitos. They were tasty and I do recommend them however it isn't really that much food so you should probably get the queso too. Today I ordered the Milanesa torta; it was a lot more food than the taquitos for the same price. Honestly though, I won't order the chicken torta again. I would describe it as a key lime pie sandwich complete with graham cracker crust coating on the chicken; if you're into that sorta thing, more power to ya but it just wasn't for me. From the description on the menu I was excited about the lime avocado sauce but for some reason it just made the whole sandwich taste like key lime pie and it was weird. read more

Bakersfield DET - Milanesa Torta - Tacos Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Maybe the best salsa in town. Great food nice patio all of enjoyed our meals. Definitely heading back

Food is great! Drinks are yummy! Seating a bit tight, but I was easily able to look over that. Our server was very accommodating & the staff was friendly. Parking sucks! Streets mostly. A small parking area behind the spot for $10. I have a disability and was able to find one handicap spot. read more

Loved everything about our food and drinks. The best cocktails I've had in years. Everything was and is exactly how it should be. Thank you!

I like the food here and for the service is good. The pollo asado and bistec are solid go to options on the taco menu. I highly recommend the chips and queso as well. My only reason for the 3 star rating is because of the music they opt to play. Old school country western music is a perplexing choice considering the younger demographic that frequent this location. If it were at a lower volume, it may be a bit more tolerable. It's not something I prefer to listen to while dining. read more

Fast service, great food and reasonable prices. What more could you ask for. Pleasantly surprised.

Been here a couple of times now and it's always a fun place to get some quick tacos or just some guac. Their guac is truly delicious. A big treat. The drinks here are also super yummy. You can't go wrong with a Margarita Pitcher. I had some of the tacos last time I was here and they did not disappoint! This is a great place to try out if you're on Woodward Ave and looking for a spot. It's a little loud, but that's because it's a very casual atmosphere. read more

If you're a night owl like me, 2 dollar tacos and tequila is something that you can't beat. None of that Taco Bell crap, these are authentic tacos with great toppings. I always go for the shrimp tacos along with the shredded beef. They got a few vegan options which is cool as well. Check them out! read more

Tammy is so friendly!! Food is a 10/10 I recommend the Milanesa. Breaded fried chicken sandwich. A very generous piece of chicken on tasty bread. Try it with the Rojo sauce. Ask for Tammy. See you there read more

Very trendy, cute building. Everything I ordered was great. Tried one of almost every taco and they are all delicious. Fresh made Guac. Great margaritas. read more

I was very satisfied with my experience. Marlow's service was over the top. He made the experience that much better. Pineapple margarita is to die for!!! Definitely will be back! read more

Has potential but all of our food was cold. Smaller portions at a higher price point, which would be okay if it was fresh. Disappointed as I was super excited to try based on the good reviews read more

Loved this place. Great ambiance, great food! I tried a couple tequilas that were really good. I had the shrimp tacos and the steak tacos and they were exquisite. The trio appetizer was so good too. I think I may have found a new favorite salsa, and I'm very picky with salsa. Will be back for sure! read more

My family went here after a show at LCA. We were seated right away, and the place was large enough to accommodate different sizes of parties. There was a good variety of alcoholic beverages. We got my son an apple juice and my husband and I got a couple of beers on draft. All priced decently. We started with the chips and queso. It was definitely flavorful, but had a bit of a grainy texture. My husband and I each got three tacos. We got the shrimp, short rib, fish, el pastor, corn, carnitas. All were pretty decent and portions were pretty good. My favorite was the shrimp and my husband's was the short rib. Definitely a great place to take the family or hangout with a group of friends. We will definitely be back. read more

Marlow is amazing!! Best time I've had at Bakersfield in a long time! Great personality and very attentive!

Staff was great, tacos were amazing and the guacamole was bomb! I would recommend the shrimp tacos and pineapple margarita. No complaints at all. It was my first time and we sat and the bar so service was fast. I will definitely be back. read more

Bakersfield is my go to for $2 tacos on Tuesdays. While it's not authentic, their shrimp tacos are my fave on the menu. I also really enjoy their chips and guacamole and their margaritas (I may have had a few pitchers in my day). It gets crazy crowded on Tuesdays now so I recommend getting there early. Staff is also pretty friendly. read more

Never fails me!! One of my favorite places great food, great vibes!! Shaun you are always so attentive, so patient and amazing! All of the staff rock, I'll continue bringing all my friends thanks for the amazing service, you'll have a forever costumer with me!! read more

this place was full of beautiful people, i am not a big drinker but i had a fantastic margaritia served in the most cute cup on the planet, the food was great and good sized portions. Highly recommend this place read more

Worst service in Detroit. It took 15 min for the bartender (yes, we were sitting at the bar) to notice us! She was so busy talking to her friends, that even in a mostly empty bar she didn't notice she had new customers and we couldn't get her attention, let alone anyone else's. Her service skills were a far shot from good after that... I guess that explains why Bakersfield is mostly empty nowadays. read more

I love Bakersfield! They have 3 dollar shots everyday. I love their tacos and cheese dip. The bartenders are nice. Also, get the pitcher of sangria!! read more

I love the food here but am disappointed they took away the tostadas with the salad underneath. My favorite was the Hongos and the short rib with the egg. I thought they wounding it back during the summer but they haven't. Bring bag the old tostadas!!! read more

The food was great, as always and Mercedes provided excellent service! She was so kind and made sure we were taken care of. Great experience! read more

Our group of 10 came in and waited for over TWO HOURS while a group smaller than ours (~6-7 people) sat and chatted and held the only table able to accommodate our party. Nobody in the establishment would say anything even though we begged them to becuase they said management wouldn't allow it by any means. We went through all of this only to be treated super poorly by some of the staff who had an attitude that we were upset over the wait we had to endure. They suggested we move (a few people in the party had sat down after standing for two whole hours) or we can "eat on a dirty table". Obviously it's understandable to wait a while on a busy night with a large party, but it's ridiculous that staff couldn't kindly inform that smaller group they were keeping a party about to spend at least $200 on food and drink. To top it all off, we had to pay $20/car to park which is why we stayed in the first place. The food and drink was just alright (the shots are huge), but after this fiasco I probably will never come back here again to see if it would be worth becoming a frequent customer. read more

My friends and I came in for margaritas so we did not try the food. The establishment was practicing social distancing and our server was exceptionally friendly. The house margarita pitcher was the perfect balance. The pineapple pitcher margarita definitely has a different twist, but if you like pineapple it's an excellent choice. Chips were fresh and salted accordingly. read more

I stopped into Bakersfield this past weekend and I was not disappointed. I had the pineapple margaritas and the shrimp tacos. Our server was Ari and she was so sweet. All of her recommendations were great. read more

Margs & tacos are a classic combination, and Bakersfield does them well. Although I wasn't blown away by the quality of the tacos, they have excellent cocktails and snacks. Their guacamole and salsa selection was fresh and appetizing, and the pitchers of margs are a fabulous option if you're with a group. read more

Tonight I went to Bakersfield to celebrate my birthday with a group of friends. I made a reservation and it was honored right when I walked in. The only good thing about the evening. We sat down right away and then was greeted. We ordered two pitchers of margaritas and a round of water which took way longer than it should have. Probably a good 15 minutes. Not okay. Before coming here, a friend of mine had mentioned she had made a reservation not long ago for her bday and it was disastrous. I thought my round would be different, but nope. Eric was our waiter and he just seemed like he hated life and every time we asked something, it was like pulling teeth, and took forever. A friend of mine ordered a birthday shot for me and it never came, not to mention it took 45 minutes after he dropped our drinks off for him to take our order. Which came after a friend of mine and myself had to go to the manager to complain our waiter hadn't come back after dropping the drinks off. Eric then comes back to take our order but was just not friendly. All in all it was a horrible experience as a group dinner. The food was good and they held my reservation, which were the only two good things they had going for themselves. I then spoke to the manager after our meal and said how horrible the waiter was and he just handed me his card and said he would take care of me next time I came in. I'm sorry, but after complaining twice, not going to happen. Great food but if you're looking for a good experience, not the place with a big group. Not to mention there were only nine of us and the restaurant wasn't that packed. read more

Bakersfield DET - Tacos Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I was there in Detroit for some art gallery visit and an artist talk with my other artist friend. We both decided to go to have Mexican food and Bakersfield restaurant came up in yelp . It was an excellent experience. I ordered two fish tacos and she had one fish and one shrimp tacos. And we both shared a plate of chips and guacamole. The tacos were quite feeling and fresh and very very tasty. But the gem is the freshness of the guacamole. I never had this perfect guacamole in a restaurant. It was perfect. I would definitely like to go back and try more from the menu . Over all our experience was really great. Our server was very nice and attentive. The ambiance was also great. The prices are not that high at all considering their location and high ratings. We parked out car on street. I don't know if there is any near by parking garage or not . In any case I am definitely looking forward to be there again soon. read more

See all

Love the fish, carne Asada, and shrimp tacos. They change their menu seasonally so try and get these if they have it! Like this place much better than Imperial in Ferndale. Quest with chorizo is awesome too, we always order that. Bon appetit! read more
