The pineapple margarita with tajin on the rim is my absolute favorite. Hubs and i came here for drinks after dinner on two occasions and seated at the bar. The bartenders were friendly on both occasions. Love the big tables and airy space. read more

Keeping it very real with you about this place if you're in the mood for the best damn short rib tacos and the short rib queso... I literally can't wait until I come back. Walked in on a weekday for a quick lunch after leaving Vandy and sat at the bar. The service was top notch, the place was pretty spacious and busy. I sat at the bar and the bartender was incredible, made great recommendations. I wish I had gotten his name but I can report he had really pretty hair, maybe that will help! Needless to say if you're hungry for Tex-Mex style food, great service and quality food in a clean atmosphere in Nashville, give it a go. The drinks looked good too and they had tons of different tequilas but I abstained. I will be back! read more

Super good and fast service! Love that this place serve the food so fast and at the same time it feels really fresh and full of flavors. We have tried pretty much every taco on the menu and they are all great. My favorites are the shrimp and the el Pastor. The lodes queso is really great as a starter too. Super close to the Bridgestone arena so a good choice for a meal before a hockey game or a concert. The ambiance is relaxed and they have large tables if you are a bigger group too. Definitely recommend this place. read more

The service was phenomenal for our group! Loved the craft tacos here and the chips and salsa. We had several different craft cocktails and margaritas here and everything was great. Really glad we stumbled upon this place and gave it a try. If you are looking for high-quality tex mex in Nashville give it a try! The vibe is really great for small groups or even dates. read more

Stopped in for lunch when we arrived in Nashville. Service was good, but there wasn't many people there yet. Food and margaritas was good. We took two other couples back for dinner. It was VERY crowded as it was CMA Fest weekend. Very loud. We ended up just having a cocktail as the wait was longer than expected. read more

This is a nice bar in downtown Nashville, TN. They've a nice tacos and beer, little bit of appetizers and very nice margaritas bar in town. Service is excellent, I recommend you to reserve table for weekend or if you walk-in for bar area, that is fun too. All foods and drinks is nice for us, and fasting service. read more

Incredible food and service. Our family enjoyed the real authentic queso and guacamole to start. I got fish tacos and short rib tacos. Great flavor. Would come back for sure. read more

Bakersfield!! I love this place. I went to the original back in Cincinnati so when I moved to Nashville I was happy to see it. It's pretty spacious! We went over the weekend around 4 pm and we were able to be seated for 5 people. We got the queso, which is just delicious. It's not like other queso at Mexican restaurants. It's a bit creamy, tad Smokey, and lots of ooey gooey cheesy. Our service was speedy. When we checked in, servers said they had a reservation for later in the evening. So I guess you can make reservations. Don't come here expecting to watch sports. They show old westerns! It's unique. I would definitely go back. They also have drink specials daily that vary based on the day. read more

We loved the tacos at Bakersfield. Came here after a concert and they were Lifesavers considering it was midweek and most places downtown were closed. I tried the Seasonal margarita which is as delicious, and my husband got the caballero old fashioned which he enjoyed. We got an assortment of tacos to share and were very satisfied at the end of the night. Ashley was our waitress and she was amazing! read more

Shrimp and fish tacos were delicious. Good margaritas and friendly, attentive service.

Ordered delivery for 4, got a taco kit which came with soft tortillas, got to choose 2 out of 3 meats, got the short rib and pollo verde (carnitas was the other option). Got a hongos taco and a huitacoche taco as well, and the trio appetizer (chips, guac, green salsa, red salsa). Esquites (corn) too. Delivery was seamless although the website doesn't allow for scheduling orders in advance. All the meats were fine, not amazing. The hongos and huitacoche were both quite flavorless. Liked the esquites because of its crispiness but again, not super flavorful or amazing. Red and green salsas were probably the best part of the meal, both had good flavors and were sufficiently spicy, guac was good too with fresh guac but again, not much flavor, just mashed avocado with a few slices of radish. $73 pre-tax, pre-delivery, pre-tip. $85 post-tax (~$7), post-delivery ($5). Quite pricey for what it was. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. The vibe is super chill and the food is always out of this world. I love that they use corn tortillas and offer a variety of salsas - I honestly couldn't tell you which is my favorite. The guac is delicious. The queso is addicting. The margaritas are ON POINT - I love the spicy, it has such a great kick and the flavor is amazing. I haven't had a taco that I didn't like here -- I've tried quite a few and you can't go wrong with any of them. You'll have a fun time and you will NOT leave hungry. read more

Made reservations weeks ago. Arrived a few minutes early. The first thing the host tells us is they have a reservation an hour after ours is that ok. Confused we say ok. Then realize he's telling us we have an hour to sit down, order, and eat. Then basically we better be done. Should be enough time, but also depends on service given by establishment. We have never been here before and safe to say never will again. When we said forget it he then says he would try to figure it out. By this point we already have a bad taste in our mouth. The food and servers may be great, but with that kind of service when you walk in we will pass. read more

Jeff was a great server! Really created a great great atmosphere to hang out and drink! He really threw the party for us! Definitely recommend coming back to this location and ask for Jeff!!! 10/10 read more

Bakersfield Nashville - Bar - Tacos Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Happened upon this bar after hitting the small convenience store across the street. The bar looked very warm & inviting, unlike the madness a couple blocks over on broadway. The decor isnt overtly cheesy mexican, so I was pleasantly surprised to see their menu. Tacos and margs always hit the spot! Sat at the bar solo until my friends arrived. Felt very comfortable & attended to, without being rushed. I enjoyed a crisp tangerine beer on tap as I sat in the comfy stools. Bonus for hooks and charging outlets under the bar- absolutely love that! Tried the guac and shrimp tacos- honestly prob the best thing I ate in nash all weekend. The shrimp were plump and very lightly breaded, with lots of veggies & flavorful sauces. I also enjoyed the pineapple marg which the bartender recommended as I wanted a marg on the sweeter side. It was slightly sweet, honestly perfectly balanced and very enjoyable. The best surprise was how reasonable my bill was! read more

I was in town for a conference. One of my coworkers suggested getting tacos. Of course, as a Californian in Nashville. I was very skeptical of the quality of tacos here. And boy was I wrong. Bakersfield taco has surprisingly great tacos!! Very much to my amazement. I highly recommend the al pastor tacos. It's extremely flavorful and I could not stop eating it, I ordered 2 more extra al pastor. The baja shrimp and fish tacos too... oh my word. Absolutely wonderful!! The only taco I wasn't too fond of was the short rib. That was pretty bland, and chewy. All in all. If you're looking for a great taco spot in downtown Nashville. Bakersfield is where it's at! read more

This has become our regular stop anytime we are in Nashville. Great street tacos, fun atmosphere and good drinks. We can't wait to return.

Great food and great service. I highly recommend the shrimp tacos, chips and salsa and even the salads.

We came here for dinner with a group of 12. We asked our waiter what's the best shareable option, but they actually have one on the menu! It's $20/per person for a few appetizers - chips and several types of dips, and then the 5 types of tacos. Honestly, it didn't seem like a lot, until it became a lot. The dips were all so good. The tacos were delicious too. I love that there's 5 different types of tacos and it was all throughout the table so no one was hungry afterwards. read more

Bakersfield Nashville - Tacos Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This place is downtown not too far from Broadway and all the tourist areas. We were able to get a table without a wait on a Saturday afternoon around 4pm. I wasn't sure what to expect but I REALLY enjoyed this place. After a few days of mostly BBQ I needed a salad and the half Johnny (Greens, bacon, hearts of palm, red onion, avocado, toasted almond, cheese) was just what I needed. Unless you just ran a marathon, the half salad is plenty and full plate so I can't even imagine how large the full salad is unless you plan to share. The salsa trio was solid with chips and red & green salsa as well as guacamole that tasted freshly made. They have many interesting taco options as well, I had the el pastor and carnitas tacos and enjoyed them both. Finally, I had the mezcal margarita and would definitely recommend if you like mezcal. It had a unique almost slightly smoky flavor that I enjoyed. I didn't have any this visit but they also had an impressive bourbon/whiskey selection on the menu. Check this place out if you're downtown and wanting Tex-Mex or a salad. read more

I had no expectations when visiting this restaurant & ended up being pleasantly surprised. It's in the downtown area & was right near our hotel. We got the guac, queso, a torta, & some tacos. All was really delicious! We went during happy hour & the queso & guac were $4 each! I will say it seemed like they were short staffed but the gentleman that helped up was really great! Overall I enjoyed the food! read more

This place is amazing! I've been there twice and both times the food was incredible and the service was fantastic. It is pretty loud in the restaurant, just a warning. You kind of have to yell to hear each other talk. Both the music and other people in the restaurant were pretty loud both times I went. I will definitely be back though because the food is that good! read more

Decor/service: clean setup and a very nice bar area. Service was a little bit of a let down. We only ordered waters and we got our appetizer and entrees prior to the water despite asking the waitress again about our drinks. 2/5 Food- Chips and queso: chips were nice and crispy but the queso was just middle of the road for me 3/5 Tacos- tried an assortment of tacos. I felt they went light on the crema/sauces. Each taco had pretty good flavor but just need a little more punch. 4/5 read more

Fun bar and restaurant. Good atmosphere. The service was quick, but high quality. I ordered the anejo margarita with fish tacos. Both were great. I recommend both - just know that the tacos are smaller and about $4.50 each. If you're hungry, 3-4 would be perfect! read more
