We got lucky with this place! Sunday night they were not busy our server was great! Prices were fair. Atmosphere was kinda chill and quiet. portions were decent we ordered the two for $49 I was so full there was a few bites I didn't finish. Good value.
Came here before the tigers game. Service was efficient. Mech was our waitress and she helped answer our 101Questions on the menu about food and drinks-- she is awesome! We enjoyed the guacamole- so fresh and chips and the happy hour drinks. Tacos are flavorful. Tortilla was not warm. Will plan to come back in the future!
The variety of tacos was good . The size was a bit small for my liking. The service was attentive and helpful. The vibe was positive and family friendly.
Came on a Saturday night with reservations and it was packed but we were sat quickly! Our server was quick as well which was nice bec we had tickets for a show. Now the chips were AWFUL like a pile of grease the server did get us new ones upon request but that's just how the chips were which was absolutely unfortunate but the short rib queso was good at least!! The tacos were good but the tortillas were cold which also was not great. By far the fish taco was the best followed by the shrimp, short rib, then pork. All in all it was a good experience and the margaritas were good!
Starting by saying I placed my order through Doordash so this is on food and carryout/delivery service only. No comments on interior design or service as of yet. I placed my order later (around 8p) on a Sunday evening and the location is pretty close to home so I thought it should be an easy and pleasant transaction. Hours online said they didn't close until 10p and I had been wanting to try this place for a while. I immediately had a dasher assigned who arrived to the location in a fairly timely manner. My order must not have been ready yet because for the next half hour the DD app showed my dasher going about other parts of Midtown. Allegedly they returned to the restaurant after that but then they were unassigned from my order and I was now waiting on a dasher. Second dasher got assigned and she seemed to wait for my food for a while as well but it finally arrived after over an hour (half a mile away from me mind you). My food was all super cold by time it had arrived and the restaurant notated on the receipt they were out of one of the items I had ordered. Pretty mindblown no one from the store took the two minutes to call me and update me on that since my order was with the restaurant for so long in the first place. They took it upon themselves to substitute something at least but it's still unsatisfactory when you're expecting one thing and given another without being asked. No idea what was transpiring with the initial dasher being at the store and then leaving, etc but either way pretty poor service from both DD and the restaurant. The only reason this isn't a 1 star is because the food I did receive was decent even though it was cold. The queso would have been better hot as the cheese was literally starting to harden on top. 3 out of 4 tacos had really good flavor. I loved the al pastor taco and the shrimp taco the best. Chicken taco was pretty good. I would skip the fish taco next time as it was nothing special and I felt it tasted too fishy. The guac that they gave me but I didn't order was fresh, but lacking flavor. I've made better batches at home. Super bummed I didn't get to try the Esquites. I also felt the tacos were teeny tiny for what I paid (even after a promotion it was still almost $40). Overall I would maybe give them another shot but I will be in no hurry even if it is local.
I tried this spot for the first time. The tacos were decent but I needed some kinda sauce to add to them. We had the Baja Shrimp Taco, Pollo Verde Taco, El Pastor. In edition we had the Mexican style empanadas and short rib queso which were all pretty good. I especially loved the spicy margaritas. Servers were very nice. Only thing I didn't like as much was the seating as it was picnic style.
My girlfriend and I came here after a Tiger's game. We had passed by many times and it always smelled amazing. We were seated right away and ordered the dinner for 2, which is one dip, two bocaditos or app/sides, and 6 tacos. We also shared a pineapple margarita. We added chorizo to our queso, so an $11 dip, and it was smaller than we expected. However, it was very tasty. Our bocaditos came, she had the rice and beans $7, and I had the stuffed poblano pepper $10. Outside of one taco, this was our favorite part of the meal. The rice and beans were cooked perfectly and tasted great. My stuffed poblano left me wanting another one. (Total $25 or $28 w/ chorizo) The only reason im including pricing is to point out that $27 dollars went to six tacos. So each one was $4.50 They were street taco sized... Pictures all show what we got. The only one i would recommend would be the baja shrimp taco, it was killer. The rest were nothing to write home about. Also the margarita at $12, in a mason jar was cute, but we didnt order another. If we were to go back, it would be for an appetizer before we got dinner elsewhere. Its a nice place, and the overall experience was positive. Just expensive, and there are way better places around to get more bang for your buck.
I've been here a couple of times now... I've tried a few different things on the menu. It's a great place with a great atmosphere and the perfect location to grab a bite to eat before an event downtown. Service is always great. The food comes quickly even when the restaurant is over crowded with fans dining out before a game. The tacos are okay. The short rib queso is okay. I asked for some tajin to sprinkle on-top and it took the dish up a a few notches. I really think they should consider just putting that on there in the 1st place. The dish went from a 5/10 to a 9/10. It was amazing after the fact. The tajin tastes so good, I like to lick it off the rim of my drink (no shame). They put it on the rim of the pineapple margarita which I'm very obsessed with. That was the only thing on the menu that I truly love and will rave about. I got it every time I went. I didn't care for the papas or the taquitos. The presentation is nice but that's about it. Would I go back? Yes, absolutely for the pineapple margarita and the tajin seasoning to put on-top of the queso dip.
WOW! Where do I begin? Visiting Detroit for the first time I was looking for a place to grab dinner near a family member's hotel. Bakersfield DET had good reviews, and I was able to make a reservation on a Monday at 5:30 for 4 of us. The host was so friendly and accommodating to find us a table that would be better for one of us who uses a cane to get around. He was so kind and positive. Brandi then took over with service, explaining it was happy hour. We started with the chips and salsa which consisted of three VERY tasty salsas and chips for $3.50. The chips and guac was also super delicious and only $5. Ten-dollar margaritas? Yes, please! Que Rico. Yummers. We all decided to get an assortment of tacos for dinner. The Al Pastor with pork, pineapple, pickled white onions and cilantro was my favorite. The Baja Shrimp taco and Huitlacoche taco were also delicious. The side of rice and beans was incredible! Everything we tried was superb, as was the service. As we were wrapping up the host came by to help clear the table and was just as friendly as when we arrived. Love this place. The food, the people, the drinks, the bar scene and the vibe - amazing!
I can't believe it's taken me this long to make it to this glorious place! I cannot wait to go back! We made reservations before a wings game. Parking was tough to find. We got a pitcher or margaritas which was a great choice. And the tacos, oh my goodness, sooooooo delicious! I think about them often and look forward to more soon!
Grab some tasty tacos before a downtown event, or anytime! Love this place. We sat at the bar and ordered the baja shrimp tacos. Small in size but at $4.50 a piece you really can't do much better than this. Mix and match with other taco styles--chicken, fish, pork, braised short rib and more. A fun atmosphere to just hang out, enjoy a drink from their extensive drink menu. Gets quite crowded on game days so a good idea to consider making a reservation.
Definitely recommend making a reservation here, especially on game days! It gets very busy here and for good reason -- the tacos are so tasty! My friends and I all loved the baja shrimp taco and the queso. I only got one taco and rice and beans, but loved the taco so much, I wish I got another. I'll echo others and say that you'll likely need to find parking elsewhere.
Two of us went on a Thursday at 4pm with no reservations just as they opened. It's bench style seating with a country/western theme to it and TVs all around. We were seated right away and our drink orders taken. Within 3 minutes our cocktails arrived and we were able to place our order for apps and entrees right after. Those also came out quickly and looked amazing. Our server was very nice and checked on us regularly and topped off our waters when they were low. To start off we got the honeydew margarita and the grapefruit radler cocktail. Both were delicious! I'm not much of a drinker and that was the first time I finished a margarita by myself. We chose the dinner for two that included chips & dip, 2 apps, and 6 tacos for $26 per person which wasn't too bad for all that was included. We ordered the basic chips and salsa that came with a salsa roja and salsa verde. The verde was my favorite of the two since it was more sour. The roja was just a bit too sweet for me. For apps, we ordered the esquites and the chicken taquitos as well. The esquites, while they were good, we expected it to be a hot dish rather than a cold dish but still enjoyed it and even dipped our chips into it like a salsa. The chicken taquitos were such a surprise when they arrived to the table plated beautifully and made with blue corn tortillas! We loved them. We tried several different tacos including the pollo verde, carnitas, fish, and al pastor. Each taco had it's own unique flavor and were also well-presented. By the time we were ready to leave the restaurant was full with red wings fans catching a meal before the game. It was a nice atmosphere to be in. Cool place to try when you're downtown!

Underwhelming at best. If you are a big eater this will be a very expensive stop. Portions are ala carte and small. Had to ask for cutlery. They got my grand daughter's side wrong (grapefruit instead of mandarin) the Mexican street corn is cold. Stick with tacos (but be prepared to pay). read more

First time visiting Bakersfield yesterday after making a reservation via Opentable (was not necessary on a Monday at 5:30 pm but we did it anyways). We were greeted with smiles and were seated right away. We sat inside but the windows were open so we still got to enjoy the sun and the nice breeze while sipping on our margaritas. I definitely recommend trying the pineapple margarita, but if you're looking for something refreshing on a hot summer day, you should definitely try the cucumber margarita. Food: We started with the short rib queso with chips and the esquites. The esquite was good but the short rib queso stole the show. Honestly, the queso is one of the best quesos I've ever tasted. I highly recommend ordering the queso with the chips, not only because of how good it is, but also because the serving of the chips and queso is worth the price. We ended up mixing the equites with the queso and making our own dip (amazing idea). The tacos are "street style" so they're pretty small and a bit pricey at $4 a pop. One taco I do NOT recommend ordering (unless you enjoy really spicy food of course) is the Pollo Diablo. The spice was just too much for me. Besides that spicy pollo Diablo taco, the Al Pastor Taco, the Baja Shrimp Taco, and the Pollo Verde taco were all good! Want the best bang for your buck...order shareables/appetizers with chips and end the meal with 2-3 tacos. Lastly, if you have reservations, try to arrive at least 5-10 minutes early to find parking nearby. Looking forward to returning for the margaritas soon. read more

A friends who is local to the area suggested Bakersfield and it was one of the best suggestions I've ever got. We were unable to make a reservation, but the staff fit us in between reservations. The food came incredibly quick, and was so so delicious. The only downside was that the waitress suggested 2-3 tacos per person, but we found the food wasn't very filling and we ended up making a second stop for a light dinner. read more

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit and found our food…
We've been hearing about Bakersfield for awhile now and finally decided to book a reservation when my Wife and I were going to be in downtown Detroit. I would highly recommend a reservation as I saw many walk-ins get turned around with an hour to hour and half wait time. There is outdoor seating year round in a heated tent where I saw people sitting. Now for the food. My wife and I split the short rib queso as an appetizer and it was very good. I highly recommend. We sampled several different taco choices for dinner. We tried the fish, baja shrimp, short rib and the pollo diablo which was a bit spicy to our surprise. Our favorite was definitely the short rib tacos. There was a house sauce that was tableside which was very good that I paired with my queso and tacos. Drinks were very good. My wife enjoyed the premium margarita and I had a modelo draft. Can't go wrong with that. If you're downtime, definitely check this place out. We will be back. read more

Normally the atmosphere is so chill but unfortunately Shannon the server decided to come over to the bar and ask to take our order but in the middle of taking our order she rudely interrupted and said I got other ppl on the floor to service!! I'm going to give your order to someone else. First off if u had other tables to serve u shouldn't have brought your ass over to the bar. I thought we serve with manners not rudeness. Lesson 101 if you can't serve ppl with a smile then stay in the kitchen... read more

Probably my favorite spot in Detroit for tacos! Always a really good time. I highly recommend the margarita pitcher and splitting with some friends. My favorite tacos are the pollo rojo and the carnitas! The guac is also very solid. Fun place to go before an event at LCA. Usually able to find a spot at the bar if you can't get a table. read more

When it comes to Mexican in Detroit they're are many choices and I wanted to try somewhere I haven't been so we came here. I'm glad we did because we really enjoyed ourselves and ate plenty of good food! The place was very lively and full of people. One of the highlights of the night was our sever Marvin. He was hilarious, really attentive, and helpful in picking out what we were going to order. After much consideration we decided on the queso and guacamole appetizer because who not. Both items were delicious although It doesn't taste like the typical queso you'd get from chipotle but still good nonetheless. After our appetizer I decided on the pineapple margarita because it seemed like the most popular. Turned out it was a good choice. Then my friend got the fish taco, and I ordered the Hongos(portobello)and huitlacoche(corn) tacos. I ate them so fast that I barely know what they tasted like but from what I remember they were tasty and suggested by Marvin. But we're not done, my favorite thing I had, being as I LOVE cauliflower was their roasted cauliflower roasted which included portobello, bell pepper, poblano, queso, queso fresco, and cilantro. Now the one thing that I should've done differently was sit at the bar because after a while the benches started to get uncomfortable, but that's our fault for staying there so long haha. Overall a really good experience. I'll be back. read more

First time eating there this evening after hanging at the DIA. My boyfriend and I were starving as we only had breakfast (we were there about 4 PM). So, I have 3 criteria for a good Mexican place: 1) Margaritas: I got the skinny and it was just lime juice. I could not taste the tequila. Mind you, I am a light weight and can barely drink 2 glasses of wine. This was so bad, that I did not want a second one. 2) Chips and salsa: we got the trio and guacamole was decent but lacked salt, tomatoes & jalapeños. It was meh and we did not finish. Verde was bland and lacked flavor. Rojo was decent. My guy liked both salsas. 3) Food: I got one shrimp taco (shrimp was deep fried - my miss and I didn't care for it) and short rib taco, this was good. Just like my drinks, I am not a big eater and these tacos were very small. Per taco was two - three bites max! I got the side of corn this was fantastic lots of flavor/spice!! Highly recommend! My boyfriend got the chicken taquitos and thought they were ok as they did not have enough filling. IMO not enough for an average guy. He said, he would not get them again. Since we are west siders, we will stick to our local places. But if ever out in Detroit again, may give it a second chance before writing it off. read more
First time at Bakersfield and we weren't sure what to expect. The atmosphere was neat and inviting. The service was great from the front desk to the server and bussers. We ordered queso and 5 tacos. We weren't sure if that was too much or not enough. The queso was the best part! OMG! The tacos were a bit if a let down. They might be the smallest tacos I have seen out at a restaurant... We might be back due to the spot, but the menu was a "been there once and you can try it all" with only starters, some salad options, tacos and taquitos. Worth a try. read more

We visited After seeing the GRINCH at the FOX. We enjoyed the entire dining experience. Haley was our waitress and she was very sweet. Helpful, smiling, interacted with our son and knowledgeable about the menu. Love the decor and style of the building also. The pineapple margarita was really good!! I want another one just thinking about it. We ordered queso for appetizer and it was full off flavor. Only downfall, the cheese on top clumped you so made it hard to dip when we got about half way in. We ordered the corn, chili and 2 tacos apiece. Alll were AMAZING!! Full of flavor, seasoned well and nice serving size. We ordered the shrimp, veggie, steak and beef taco. Yummmmmmmy. Definitely will return. read more

Thanks for the kind words Brian! Let us know what catches your eye…
Some friends and I came here yesterday before a show at the Fox, I was curious to compare it to Imperial too. First off: it's LOUD in there. It could have been because there was a group of 22-year-olds doing shots at the table behind us (and I know they were 22, because they very loudly yelled "22!" and "Woooooo!" as they did the shots ...), or the fact that it was 6pm on a Tuesday, but I really dislike restaurants where you have to yell at your friends in order to hear them. Moving on ... The food was very good here. We split an order of the cauliflower ($6) - not on the menu, it was a special that day - and it was good but not what I was expecting. It was in some sort of cheese sauce and came with mushrooms and other veggies, and it was a bit spicy, too. A friend and I also both got pineapple margaritas ($10) and those were delicious. I ordered the Bistec taco and the prime rib; I believe most if not all the tacos are $4 each. A friend just told me that on Tuesdays after 10pm, they do half-off tacos for Taco Tuesday, too, so I'll have to go back for that. The Bistec taco was very, very tasty, and the prime rib was good, but not as good. My friends raved about the shrimp taco, also. The tortillas are made out of white corn and are a little crunchy, and are also very good. Waitservice was also very good, as soon as I ran out of water our waiter was back with refills. He also walked us through the menu when we got there. I'd definitely come back here again for tacos, but hopefully when it's a little less noisy. One of my friends said that in the summer, when it's warm out, they open up their garage doors (front doors) so I bet that would help with the noise level, too. read more

Atmosphere - we got a nice, big table for two. the space was welcoming and nicely decorated. the bar looked fun and there were some tvs playing football highlights. the lighting was uncomfortably dim, but this was one of very few cons to the experience Service - couldn't have been better! we came in with a reservation and were seated and greeted immediately. our waitress replenished our chips even when there were a few still left on the plate. I ordered a marg and it didn't even take long but she still checked in to say it would just be another minute. when it came time for the bill, she was super quick. overall 10/10 Drinks - I ordered the house marg. it tasted wonderful. probably the best I've had in a long time and was a decently heavy pour without the alcohol being overbearing at all Chips - we opted for salsas and chips. chips were FRESH, not oily, and perfectly salty. both salsas were fresh flavor bombs and had very different but good tastes, as well as generous portions Tacos - I ordered 3 1. Baja Shrimp Taco: awesome, not too oily, probably the most flavorful and well curated, would order again in a heartbeat 2. Pollo Verde: above average, flavorful, classic. can't go wrong ordering and I don't regret it but it wasn't standout to me 3. Huitlacoche: interesting, mild flavor. I was intrigued since this I haven't tried the dish before and it definitely wasn't bad but benefited from me adding some salsa on for flavor. probably wouldn't order again but I'm glad I tried it and would still recommend it to a friend on their first visit Side - we shared an order of esquites. flavor bomb in the best way. if I come back, these will be a must-order item read more

Service and staff are amazing. Had a reservation for one on a late Saturday afternoon and I am sooo glad I had the foresite to make one. The placed was PACKED. I was about 10 minutes late but was seated immediately as soon as I came in. My server Eli was very sweet and quick. I ordered the fish taco, Up in Smoke cocktail, short rib queso and (on Eli's recommendation) the shrimp taco. The shrimp taco was actually the best, very crispy and the sauce was good. My fish taco was ok, it was fried really well but didn't have a lot of flavor and I'm not sure if it was supposed to have sauce but if so it was a very small amount and also had minimal flavor. My drink, the Up in Smoke had a somewhat weird taste to me initially but after letting my ice melt some and mellow the drink out it was very good. The short rib queso was not that good to me, the cheese had a weird texture and wasn't very creamy, and again the flavors were bland. I was disappointed because this was the one item I was really looking forward to trying. The menu isn't super extensive so I'm not sure if I would want to come back and try other things. The location is perfect though, I had a concert I was attending at Little Caesars arena and was able to walk there in 10 minutes! read more

Great location for drinks before a concert at the Little Cesar's arena ! I had the pineapple margarita and it was to die for !!!! Not super tart but not super sweet ! I couldn't even taste the alcohol (which is dangerous lol) My friend had the regular margarita and it was super tarty lol but good ! We had the queso to start ! And it was to die for ! Super cheesy and yummy !!! Recommended! Tacos look good but truly I just wanted to try the tortillas and they brought me a couple plain tortillas and I can tell you guys they taste just like real Mexican tortillas ( not the one u get at the stores but actually from Mexico...... I was extremely happy) I am not sure if I would like to try the full on taco cuz I didn't want to ruin the tortilla taste .. I had the milanesa Torta ! Chicken was super Crunchy, I was not fan of the lime avocado sauce ... it had to much lime that it kinda ruin the torta for me. My friend had the taquitos, there where 3 of them and barely had anything inside .... We also had the esquitez, which they serve it as a cold type of salad (even tho I have only had esquitez as a warm kind of soup) did not like it .... actually hated it. No desserts----:( (maybe they do have some but no offer) I gave it a four for the drinks, the app and the tortillas....and location But other than that dinner was a 3 star... Service was ok... they were super busy but just ok ! read more

Thanks for the review Denisse! Happy you enjoyed the food and drinks…
Firstly, I really enjoyed the friendliness of the staff, from when we walked in to check in for our reservation, to our server (I wish I remembered her name). We were going to a concert at the Masonic Temple, so I chose this restaurant because of it's proximity to the venue and because I live Mexican food. We ordered the trio of salsas, guacamole and chips. The guacamole was very good and I'm a guacamole snob. There was also a Rojo and verde salsa. The Rojo had a smoky chipotle flavor , which is not mt favorite. Verde was good and we really liked the chips, which we asked for more because there's an ample amount of salsa. I had 2 margaritas, a pineapple and an original, they were both good, I liked the pineapple better. We ordered street tacos, we got short rib tacos, a pollo verde, al pastor and carnitas tacos. Also an order of the Esquites (cold corn, cotija salad dish). The tacos were all good, I felt like they were a bit bland though, maybe a little on the dry side, too. The service was quick, we had our drinks and app quick and the tacos also came out fast. I saw there were lots of people there to eat before the Tigers game, so they could get in and out quickly, I think we were there for only 45min. Nice decor inside, some of the seating is like picnic tables with benches, we moved from that type of table because there were yellow jackets or wasps all over the window by our table. The server knew of the issue and it sounds like it's an ongoing thing. She gladly moved us to a high top, which was comfier. read more

A must go to place in Detroit! During the summer, there is outside seating which is so nice for a happy hour. The employee there are always so nice and accommodating. I've never had a bad experience and I've been here a few times over the years! It can get pretty busy so make sure to have a reservation and the bar is first come first serve. The tacos here are probably my favorite in Detroit. Chips and salsa are always fresh. My favorite salsa is the red one in the picture which is pretty spicy! My all time favorite taco is the Baja shrimp. I could eat a million of them. The combination of the spice, breaded shrimp, and the slaw makes for an amazing, fresh flavor. I've also had the spicy chicken one and short rib which are very good! This time we tried two vegetarian tacos and they were both very favorable. The game changer of the dinner was the chicken tostada. OMG! This was my first time trying this and it was the most amazing thing ever! It consists of breaded chicken cutlets with a black bean spread and spring mix. It also came with a side of their green sauce to dip in. I can't really explain how amazing all the flavors were in this dish. I will for sure make this a regular in my order! read more

Wow. Bakersfield is a fantastic choice for food in Detroit. We went on a nice June day so they had the street windows open, it was cheerfully busy but never felt overwhelming. The serving staff was kind and thorough; the restaurant takes great pride in the freshness of their food. And it shows! We ordered the chips and queso and holy wow my partner and I both commented on how we don't know if we have had better queso. The chips are made in restaurant which is elevates this appetizer. There is a little smoky hot sauce on the table and it is worth adding to the queso FYI. I ordered a Baja Shrimp taco and a Pollo Verde taco and this were quite tasty. The freshness of ingredients and subtlety of flavor comes through with the tacos. I really like the Baja Shrimp taco! I really appreciated the pricing, supremely good tacos for $4, heck yah. read more

So,, yea,, Bakersfield. Such a nice and trendy spot. Open concept, shiny polyurathane heavy picnic tables everywhere. A massive bar, LED Edison lightbulbs and industrial ceiling. Also giant garage door windows so if your sitting by the window it feels like a massive patio. Plus they also have an actialt patio area if you were wondering. We came for the drinks. They had the cucumber margarita on special that day. We like glasses, but we preferred it come in a pitcher that day. The drink was also super yummy and outrageously delish. It's such a shame we just came from a big meal event next door or we'd be all over their offerings. Hopefully next time we'll try em because I'm definitely coming back. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day! read more

We stopped in before the Mumford and Sons concert. This place was packed! We lucked out and finally got seats at the bar. There was a very nice selection of alcohol, and a full menu. We split the chorizo queso dip - so flipping good! They pickled their peppers which did a wonderful job cutting the richness of the queso and chorizo. My friend ordered a 1/2 salad (not pictured) that was (to me) larger than your typical 1/2 salad. The tacos were AMAZING! Both of our favorite was the shrimp - they were huge & with the garnishes had great flavor. The pork one I ordered was also full of flavor and delish. Pricing was reasonable. Definitely check this place out if you're in Detroit. read more

Amwzing food. Pineapple margaritas that are too delicious to be described. Do yourself a favor anf just order the pitcher. Our only complaints are the noise-level and somewhat the service. Someone took our drink order. Another person brought it. Then someone else took our order. It came out FAST and by a 4th person. We weren't sure who to contact when we needed refills. Will definitely try again. Food and drinks too good to not have again. read more

Stumbled across this place after leaving another restaurant. My husband and I wanted to drink more and decided to stop here. We noticed the patio outside and the open windows that were welcoming. We did not have anymore room to eat but the taco selection was impressive and might come back for that. We are snobs when it comes to tacos. Lol The waiter was super nice and friendly. We ended ordering a pitcher of cucumber margarita, which is a seasonal margarita. The drink was very refreshing and on average you get 6 glasses out of a whole pitcher. In my book it is winning especially when you have a large group of friends who love margaritas. I would definitely come back to this place to try there food and maybe other drinks on the menu. They even have mezcal which my husband loves. The place in general is very nice with wood on the walls and the lighting. read more

Thanks Patrick!…
It's fantastic to see so many new places popping up in Detroit. Each time I go back to the downtown area there are new places to visit. This was my first time at Bakersfield and it did not disappoint. The food is excellent and the service is friendly and professional. The interior of the place is really quite beautiful. I'm sure if you visit in the warmer months they make use of the windowed garage doors that open up to Woodward. They serve up the tacos on a raised platter which is quite appealing. The drinks menu is fairly large so plenty of options for everyone. It's walking fist to Little Caesers Arena so it's a great stop for pre-game snacks and/or drinks. Enjoy! read more
