    Burrito Magnifico Wet
    Nikki T.

    We live in NW Bakersfield and the drive to this little hidden treasure in Shafter is worth it; no matter where you live! There is nothing here that we've eaten that we didn't like! My husband loves the Burrito Magnifico Wet... IT'S HOT!! But he likes it that way!!! I ordered the Enchiladas Trio and that was an experience on its own, so so good; and a good way to try a lil of everything! The service was spot on and the atmosphere was casual. Definitely a secret spot for some of the best Mexican food around!!

    Chilaquilles

    This spot is in the next town over and it's always on our list to go for weekend breakfast. These guys make some of the best Pozole and Menudo around. The broth is flavorful, the meat cuts are consistent and reasonable, and the portions are big. They also kill it on chilaquiles. Nice spicy Chile sauce, crunchy housemade chips, and crispy chorizo on top. One of the best around. The other day we had seafood and we're not disappointed. The Caldo de Siete Mares had a great chipotle flavor and lots of seafood. My wife's mojarra frita was also well done. Definitely don't hesitate to go for a drive and check these guys out.

    Sizzling enchiladas, El Pastor
    Stephanie S.

    We were in Shafter this afternoon and had to stop by for lunch. As previously, we were greeted at the door with welcoming hello's and stepped into what is now our favorite booth. Immediately EJ came over with menus and water. After pouring over the specials and the menu, hubby decided on the Chile Colorado Burrito, wet and I chose the Sizzling Enchiladas al Pastor special. While we waited for our meals, we chowed down on warm, seasoned chips and chunky, spicy salsa. (Woo-wee, that salsa is spicy) Lunch arrived and hubby's burrito was huge, covered in red sauce with a dollop of fresh sour cream. My lunch consisted of three sizzling enchiladas on a very hot skillet with cotija cheese, sour cream, and a side plate of beans and rice, mmm, yum. If you're looking for a little kick, be sure to ask for their homemade red sauce (they also have a green sauce). We left there satisfied and with leftovers for dinner.

    Food is decent.But in an area full of Mexican joints they need to step their game up a bit.

    Excellent fish and carnitas tacos. Service is not great, go for takeout if you're in a hurry.

    La Costa Mariscos - Chicken Enchiladas with Green Sauce

    We had a great experience at La Costa Mariscos Ice House location! The drinks were absolutely…read moredelicious, especially the seasonal Paloma, which featured raspberries and blackberries muddled with tequila. 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!

    Pleasant surprise on my travels to Bakersfield…read more Chicken Burrito was customized perfectly and was delicious. My friends went with the chicken enchiladas with green sauce, as well as the fajita salad. Loved the ambiance, staff was great, and loved the energy. Will definitely be returning on my future travels.
