My niece put me onto this place after a barbecue. The meat was damn good and the best part is , they prepare it for you. I paid 6.99$ a lb for desmillo de res which was perfect for our Carne asada. She did let me know that they have sales often so I am definitely stoking up for the summer. They had everything you could need for a summer night with friends. Meat, salsa, drinks! They also have a small restaurant next door, and inside the market a little cafe. I want to go back and try their dishes. Service was excellent, staff was friendly. read more

Menudo save a agua no sabor pero la salsa y Cervesa chingon nomas y la Estrella es por la Cervesa y la salsa nomas

Used to come here a lot before they expanded the dining area and it was really good. It has changed and the food is not that good. Tons of fat and hard pieces in the meat. Also the burrito says 8.99 and some how my total was 11.46. I guess it's a different tax.. not again for me read more

The food esta pasada de verga I got a breakfast burrito with all the meats, and my kids ordered pozole and an asada torta--everything was absolutely delicious. The service was great, and there was plenty of space to dine in and eat comfortably. I definitely recommend this spot. read more

Customer service can be better. Owner was slightly rude. And his attitude can improve. Food was okay. Order tacos with rice and beans and when got our food it was cold. And this wasn't the first time. And the chili was only 2 per person per owner. read more

Their pozole is perfect!!! We ordered two large containers and with their chile, delicious!!! Super friendly service too despite my broken Spanish! read more

I thought this was just a carniceria and to my surprise it's also a restaurant. Ordered to go and my food was delicious. I ordered the burrito supreme (comes with sour cream/ guacamole) and it was super good. It gave me authentic Mexican flavors (aside to sour cream) and everything was seasoned very well. The burrito was ginormous and I could barely finish it in one sitting. Their salsa verde was good too. read more

Came for lunch time. Glad they extended the seating area. Ordered some caldo de Res. So rich in flavor and a good amount of meat. The carne asada plate had a good amount of meat. The beans and rice were good flavored. I would give 10/10 if I could. read more

Hands down, best carnicería in town!! Recommend for any type of meats! Everyone is kind too.

Dan demasiado caro para las porquerias que venden. Muy mal servicio y no saben tratar a la gente. NO RECOMIENDO.

Never a disappointment. I've enjoyed the flavors from Carniceria Ranco Grande since they were the original owners of El Ranch Grande restaurant. Everything from the food to the staff has always been warm and wonderful. If you ever had a bad experience, then it really must have been a very off day because here, they are always on point. This joint is your ordinary local Hispanic market where you will find a little bit of produce , Mexican sweet breads, butcher counter, and othe Mexican food items. Getting back to the food. The weekend menudo is always full of flavor and when its gone, it's gone. The burritos are always rolled nice and tight and have the right meat to veggie ratio. Everything we have ordered has always been fresh. The kitchen set allows you to see how the food is prepared and how they are always cleaning up. Stop in, eat in or take out. Give your taste buds a treat. Hey CRG, ever think about expanding the building and adding a Mexican Buffet? read more

Been coming here since I was a baby pretty much. My parents have always come here to buy meat, groceries, and food. Nothing has changed over the years the service and quality is always so divinely given. All the people who work here are respectful, honest, hard working, sweet sweet people. Super rare to come across these days, but they have that old fashioned childhood feeling that will never go away. My favorite memories will always be picking out a paleta from the freezer next to the register with my dad before checking out, and I still do it till this day for old time sake. Rip to him. The produce is always soooo BEAUTIFUL, and very much well worth the price. The avocados are so large they never disappoint. Prices are always fair and the all food is made to order and delicious. The ceviche is my absolute favorite I never leave without a container and a fresh bag or tortilla chips. Truly a Bakersfield Gem and staple!! read more

My family and I were driving through Bakersfield. We stopped and tried the food from this store/restaurant and I must say the food was amazing. read more

Worst tacos ever! Their menudo stinks no flavor. Only salsas are good! Beans and rice horrible never going back

I love the spot for its food. But the people working in the taqueria literally take zero hand washing precautions. Even the lady working the register where's the same gloves while handling people's credit cards and food and everything else. Apparently it's the same with people working with the food. Saw an older gentleman who was cleaning with gloves on moving a water a water hose around went straight to preparing food without changing gloves or washing hands. read more

Best Carniceria in town. Meat is good, food is good and service is excellent! Come here!

My sis in law ordered menudo and carnitas from this place. 1st time trying this place not a big fan. The menudo was greasy, watered down and no flavor. I dont know why they even sold it to her, she should of checked it. The carnitas were delicious plus the red salsa & beans. My sis in law said ( i yelped this place ) once i arrived it was a fullhouse so i figured it was good. I said they probably knew you werent a regular and sold you the worst. I was not happy and not impressed with the flavor of menudo. I dont recommend this place at all. read more

Went here on the recommendation from a co-worker, who had also been to a food truck that I loved and he said the food here was just as good. Methinks not. The jumbo Asada burritos had lettuce in them. The picture on the wall did not have lettuce, so when I said I wanted everything on them I assumed it had no lettuce. The Asada was tasteless. Just a bad, bad experience. The quesadilla I ordered had everything in it, not like it should be presented, with the pico, sour cream and guacamole on the side. I WON'T recommend this for a good dining place. read more

We came here today with my mom in law from San Antonio,she asked for the menudo and the man,maybe owner was nice enough to let her try it.The lady who took her order was also super nice!We live in Bakersfield but never been at this store!

I went here for the first time yesterday after I had the chicken and carne asada at a friends bbq. Tight parking first off so be prepared and it was busy!! Which is always a good sign in my book. The meat counter is to the back right, they also have a lil restaurant in there with tables you can sit at and dine. There's also a lil market with veggies and odds and ends. I can't lie it was a little intimidating going back to the meat counter there were a lot of people and i was just lost with what to get i was trying to figure out what it was i had at a bbq that was soooo yummy! A super nice guy started helping me and i was immediately told by the lady next to me "um excuse me but i was first!!" See i was totally out of place not knowing anything Lol...Finally i got my turn and i got this boneless marinated chicken thighs and carne asada (the good kind) from what the guy told me and he marinated for me. Decent prices but definitely don't go in there like i did completely lost and a blank mind the regulars will run you over!! hahahah...They have a great selection of different meats, and although it was too busy in the restaurant area for me to see what was going on with that it did smell really yummy. Oh and yea i grilled the chicken and carne asada last night and had my homemade pico de gallo and rice with it soooo freakin delicious!! I will definitely be going back!! read more

I asked for recommendations on Facebook where they have a delicious shrimp cocktail. Someone suggested this place. I went ahead and bought two large. Over all very good flavor but they each had like 8 shrimp. It was mostly juice and tomatoes with little avocado. Paid about $22 for both, not worth the price. read more

This is my spot for meats. Their beef comes from Harris Ranch and is most of the time pretty lean. They carry just about every cut of beef and pork; plus chicken and seafood (fish, shrimp, octopus, crab). There's also a small section of produce and other groceries. They also sell food in here and have some of the best tacos in town. Their "carnitas" are also delicious. And on weekends they set up a little stand inside the store and sell "Tacos de Cabeza" (Head Tacos); they are so good, don't let the name freak you out. Also, on Saturday's and Sunday's they have "Menudo". If tacos are not your thing, there's a great variety of other mexican treats: nachos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, to name a few. I love the service in here; they treat me like family. I'm always welcomed with a big smile. read more

Its like a little market / Carniceria / taco restaurant with tables and a small salsa stand. The tacos de cabesa are pretty small the price...... but taste damn very good a 5 star taste. I ate like seven tacos de cabesa with cilantro, onion, radish, salsa and I still wanted more but I was full. I felt like a zombie after-wards and wanted to eat some brains(sesos)....maybe next time. Thirst your quench with some bomb agua frescas which are orchatas, tamarindo & jamaica. All meats there are fresh so no matter what you get, is good too. read more

This is a very popular Mexican market. Always crowded with people either shopping or eating at the many tables inside. I buy my Carne Asada, refried beans and salsa here. Each Mexican market prepares their Carne Asada differently, that is with different spices. I prefer it marinated in fruit juices. The employees are always very friendly and helpful. read more

Y'all can hate but there are 2 things they got that's on point for facts..! Los tacos de cabeza & the menudo .. if you know what's good for you then try them. and if you go Sunday go early cuz they get lines that pull almost all the way outside read more

i came here for cabeza, sesos (brain), tripe, lengua tacos. these are the the best tacos here if you are going for a different palet other than carne asada and pollo tacos. its so good with their red hot sauce. i tried their carne asada tacos and burrito...its pretty plain but i just add their red hot sauce. i had better carne asada tacos and burrito elsewhere. you can get sesos tacos only on fridays, saturdays, and sundays. too bad i moved out of Bakersfield but i will definitely come back everytime i visit to fulfill my cravings! read more
