    Steak, fajita burrito
    Lisa R.

    This restaurant is where Reubens use to be. We had gone to Reubens once and never returned. My husband had been wanting to try this place, I wasn't too keen to try it. We were seated quickly, it wasn't busy. Dinner was ok. The vibes, the atmosphere was indifferent, the food was indifferent, even our waitress was indifferent. My husband said his steak, fajita burrito was good, but the rest of us, eh. I love guacamole and with the price of guacamole I don't want my guac to taste or look old or off and mine did. No I won't be returning.

    My grandson and I decided to try a new mexican restaurant for Valentine's dinner. We were not disappointed. Very delicious, authentic mexican food. I highly recommend! Our server Natalie was the best. Checked on us regularly and answered all our questions. I ordered a combination meal and was happy to see that they had a combination with steak fajitas and an enchilada. I also got a chile relleno. My grandson ordered the Tabares hamburger that had cheese, bacon and avocado on it and he said it was wonderful so were the fries. You get chips and salsa with your meal and a really delicious bean dip. The chips are very good and the salsa homemade. They have a very large menu with lots of choices and happy hours 7 days a week. The booths were comfortable and the restaurant had cool murals on the walls, televisions and a full bar. The bloody mary was very good and in a nice tall glass. The prices were reasonable.

    The lunch buffet is $13.95, it started out good and filled with hot fresh items in the beginning. The dessert section was solid, it had flan, fruit and different sweets. Not anymore, recently it's been old tasting Aldis chocolate chip cookies? The potato tacos and chimichangas were great once upon a time. My visit again they had a soaked texture from the steam and a rock hard bottom from the heat underneath. Our plates never got picked up. A few items were empty and cold, after visiting almost every week since they started the lunch buffet, I call it quits! The menu item we ordered tasted like it sat in a open container in refrigerator and was microwaved. They lost their passion for serving up great food and a good experience.

    Excellent Sunday Brunch for $21.99 which finding the price is like pulling teeth but as of 12/14/2025 that the price. All the food was really good! I really liked the enchiladas, chilli relleno and the aguas chilies!! One huge complaint was the breakfast sausage was raw in the middle- thank god I noticed and warned my family and they checked and were all raw inside too like still pink and purple!! Other than that everything was excellent! Service was great and the restaurant was pretty clean as well! We will more than likely return!

    Appetizer plate totally worth the $14. Great variety & flavor. Enought for a while table to share!

    Last time we were here it was Rubens, so I guess it's been a while. It looks like its a family ran business. They removed the wall between the restaurant & bar area so it's more open but they didn't update any of the booths. The seats are cracked & peeling, which is reason for 4 not 5. The food & service was AMAZING & FAST!! The server brought both salsa, real chunky salsa not taco sauce, & bean dip. My husband loved the salsa, extra spicy & flavorful. I loved that they provide the bean dip. I hate not being able to enjoy the chips since i don't do spicy. It was a nice, unexpected treat. I ordered the appetizer platter. It had flautas, taquitos, quesadilla, nachos & buffalo wings. I was so full on just the nachos but I tasted everything it had great flavor. I don't like things too spicy & it was not at all. I didn't get jalapeños. My husband ordered the chileverde, he loved it. The plate was huge & so was the portion. It was more savory than spicy, I tried it & it wasn't spicy so I thought it was great. Our 10 yr old liked it too. Only negative is the rice was pretty bland, needed more flavor. Also the highlight of the meal was waiting for fresh flour tortillas! I've never had a restaurant give us fresh made tortillas like this, they were so hot & so good. Our son got the kids pizza, which came with fries. Funny story, the ketchup tasted homemade, so we asked the waitress. She laughed & said no it's a can. Idk what brand it is but it's delish! It was $58 for 2 adults, 1 child without alcohol & kids eat free on wed. The very best part of the evening was the lil green/white candies at the register. We were expecting a mint... nope its the best ever lime candy. The perfect after treat for a Mexican restaurant!! My husband's raved about it for the next 20 minutes & even asked the gentleman at the register where they got them. Lol We will definitely be back! Thank you for great service!!

    the bean dip with salsa served with chips Our food was delicious I had chicken fajita with corn tortillas guacamole, and refried beans and rice and a cheesecake dessert My partner told me the enchiladas were delicious also our server was excellent and did everything we needed and wanted. Jocelyn was very accommodating server and the music was just right I had so much food left over. I made my own bean dip layered with fajita beans and guacamole with a sprinkle of rice. The murals were really beautiful and big Thank you for a great experience Very convenient location on Gosford near White Lane in the O'Reillys auto parts Gosford Plaza shopping center

    They have a Mexican buffet style option on Sundays! It runs from 11-3pm which i think is great! A lot of them end way too soon! The pricing is great! 16.99 and if you're drinking mimosas it's 19.99! However it's only 3 mimosas, take note of that! They had lots of great options, FRESH tortillas, menudo and pozole! Omelets and waffles! The only thing I would recommend is for for the food to be hotter, some of it was just warm, and or looked cold! Their dessert table is a bit small but if you fill up on everything else it doesn't really matter.

    This was our 2nd time visiting Casa Tabares. The first time we visited, they had just opened so there was lots of room for improvement. This time around we decided to visit for Mother's Day and try their Sunday Brunch which we'd seen advertised numerous times on Instagram for 16.99. To my shock, I didn't realize until I got home, that we paid 21.95. I'm supper disappointed. I tried calling but their line just rang and rang. We were sat in the overflow seating area in the bar where it was very dark because a bunch of their lights were out. And to top it off, our table had a clear shot of the men's restroom, with the door open and everything. What's more disappointing is that the food was not very good. We were not offered mimosas, although I saw other tables being served them. And I had to ask about the free Mother's Day margarita that was also advertised on instagram. Sadly I had 2 sips and didn't finish it, as it was also not good. I really wanted to enjoy this brunch with my family, but we were all left pretty bummed.

    Vibrant decorations. Friendly very welcoming staff. Excellent quality selections on the Sunday Brunch Buffett. Everything was so fresh and delicious. So glad we finally made it in to try. We will return

    mom's 55th birthday

    I highly recommend this place went last night for my mom's 55th birthday karaoke was off the hook. The bartender was great. Drinks were bomb food was bomb. If you go ask for Ashley best waitress hands-down we had over 20 people and she did it without a mad bone in her body.she Kept a smile and everybody was happy with all their food and drinks.

    Happy Hour appetizer platter

    Went to try out the happy hour & watch the Dodgers game. Chips & salsa were good. I asked for bean dip. They didn't have any but my server had them make some. We ordered the appetizer platter & had a few drinks. Prices were real reasonable considering everything is expensive. Paid cash because they charge extra like everyone else if you use a card. Since it's just down the street I will be returning soon. Food was good. Server was good

    Boom

    This please is the bomb. Three plate combo, two chili Riano's, and a cheese enchilada. The food was excellent, and the service is even better. George was our waiter and he gave us excellent service. Highly recommend this place.

It was fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor which was a perfect complement to our meal. The Michelada was also delicious, as usual! For the food, the Rancheros Camarones were flavorful and satisfying, while the trio fajitas with chicken, steak, and shrimp came out hot, fresh, and packed with a great ratio of meats to veggies. The Envueltos Camarones (bacon-wrapped shrimp) were another standou which was savory, juicy, and absolutely delicious. And, of course, we can't forget the freshly made flour tortillas! They're always hot, fresh, and homemade in-house, which makes the meal that much better. The service was excellent as always. We had a few babies with our party, and our waiter went above and beyond by bringing out some fresh fruit for them while we enjoyed our chips and salsa. It was such a thoughtful touch and really made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Overall, La Costa Mariscos is a tasty spot with flavorful food, delicious drinks, and some great house-made touches. Definitely worth checking out if you're craving mariscos and Mexican-style favorites in Bakersfield!

    A Delicious Stop After the Farmer's Market!…read more Stopped by Mas Bella after the farmer's market and had such a great meal! We started with three drinks: the Tullum Bloom, Strawberry Margarita, and Strawberry Lemon Drop. All three were delightfully fruity and refreshing, making it hard to pick a favorite! For food, we ordered the birria bao buns, shrimp bao bun, chile relleno, crispy beef taco with refried beans and rice, and camarones with refried beans and soft tortillas. The birria bao bun was my absolute favorite! The mini bao is packed with flavorful birria, and I absolutely loved the consommé they serve alongside it for dipping. It's such a fun combination, and that consommé takes the bao to another level. I also really enjoyed that they make their salsas in-house. They served both a verde and a roasted red salsa with the buns, and both were delicious. The chile relleno was another standout. That melted, cheesy goodness inside was everything you want from a chile relleno! The crispy beef taco was an unexpected winner. It was served with what seemed to be the same delicious birria-style beef, so it was instantly a favorite. The crispy shell paired perfectly with the tender, flavorful meat. The camarones with soft tortillas were also really good. The shrimp were well seasoned, and the soft tortillas made them perfect for building little tacos.

I had been bragging to my friends about how delicious the Bao Bun Tacos were and unfortunately they were out of the bao buns.

The first time I had it it was so beautiful in its presentation and delicious. Sadly not this time. Dimas, our server was great, the food good, but I was so looking forward to the Bai Bun Tacos.

I couldn't really taste the difference between the Paloma and the margarita ‍. The place is decorated really nice but what they should've focused on was making agood food.
