THE BEST tacos in Bakersfield. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Every meat, every menu item, even the agua frescas, all top tier. They load you up with meat that are all cleverly seasoned and prepared. Asada has smokey taste to it that I think some places lack. Pastor has the perfect blend of sweet and spicy . Buche is savory and doesn't feel like you're even eating offal. Everything is loaded up! The loaded potato has about a 1/2" lb of meat or more. The quesadillas are plump! Meat almost falls out. Sauces and other accompaniments are self serve and you can get as much as you want. Their chipotle salsa is spicy but damn is it good. They even have spicy onions that I never see. While you wait for your meal and watch the taquero at work, they have beans, tostadas, nopal, grilled onions and jalapenos all just sitting there FOR FREE. They also have some tiny potatoes soaking in the meat juices if you're lucky enough that they haven't run out (also for free!). The experience is just so customer forward and this is a gem that I hope expands even more. They have deals every week from buy one get one tortas, $1 tacos at a certain day at each location. It's often they have a line so consider yourself blessed if there isn't. read more

I'm a foodie guy so I love trying different taco spots. I seen this place on social media so I had to try it out. I ordered two asada tacos, carnitas, a loaded asada papa, and a pineapple with chamoy . The meat had good flavor but the meat was really greasy. The Fresca was watered down. The papa was good. Lots of free condiments to add on, the salsa's were fire. The service was ok. I would come here again but not for my taco Tuesday. read more

Went and got 5 asadas and 5 pastor to share from the Airport Dr location (by Hennigans). They were legit!! as were the selections of salsas and condiments. Got a cucumber agua Fresca and it was tasty as well. The four people working were all super nice and engaged in friendly conversation. Will definitely be back read more

This review is for Erick's tacos on morning drive and Nile's st. Since they've started selling tacos we were very impressed with the food and service. Today we suffered our first disappointment. Tripa tacos were mediocre and plain with hardly any meat. Hence why we quit going to El Buen Pastor. I also ordered some pastor tacos and they were lame and small and plain. What happened guy? You guys were the best in Bakersfield. Now I'll have to look for another place to spend my money in. This really saddens me. The location is ok and ambiance was absent. I would consider twice about trying them out now. read more

If you can go on their dollar taco days go! Trust me the line is worth it. Best tacos in town!!!! Their salsas are also super delicious. The staff works fast and trust me just because they work fast doesn't mean they trust the quality of the food they don't! It's super flavorful and high quality. Love this spot! read more

Stopped by the Stockdale location! So far these have been the best tacos i've had in town! The Al Pastor from the trompon are my favorite! This is also a really great location with lots of parking. Just a heads up they only take cash, apple pay and zelle. I'll be going back to try the Lengua, Suadero and chorizo next and will provide an update. The asada was nice char but little over smokey(almost as if they threw in liquid smoke). Tripas where soft and tender and crispy the way I like them and the Al pastor was a knock out to finish it off the tortillas where made fresh there! read more

Late night, forgot to eat around dinner and suddenly it's 11:30pm and I'm hungry. I search up spots that are open & find Ericks. I'm pumped. I ordered a carnitas quesadilla, asada tacos, a loaded potato, and a BRC burrito. Not all for me- don't judge. The food was just ok. My loaded potato was nothing near the decadence of the potatoes served up at swap meet. Not even close. It had too much cheese & the toppings didn't have any balance of freshness. It was a muddy mess and even after adding my own avocado, I felt too guilty eating it and left it alone. The quesadilla I can't complain about but it was basic and I can't praise it either. The tacos were just ok. We had to add our own toppings that were in buckets on a table to the side. I prefer them to come already put together. Anyway.. I wasn't too impressed. 5/10. read more

Erick's Street Tacos in Bakersfield is one of the best tacos I have ever had. I came here late at night, around 11:00 PM, and they were here. Parked our car on the side and got in line. There were already people enjoying their order and also just hanging out. We took our to-go and ate in the hotel. It was close by, and also the asada was great! The salsa was extra spicy, especially the orange one! We also got an asada quesadilla, and that was also good. The green sauce is amazing, and if you do come, get that! I can see why this spot got a high rating on Yelp. read more

Went to their setup by O'Hennings. Not that great to be honest. The tacos come plain and you have to load them up yourself. Very bland. They also forgot three of my tacos. Wasn't worth driving back to get them. I would recommend the taco truck off 7th Standard by Shell. I believe it's called Taquero Mucho #2 read more

A solid 3.5 star taco pop-up. They have the traditional trompo of marinated pork with pineapple and the boiling vat of oil and meat. Pastor was decent. Not amazing but decent. It was elevated with extra pineapple and the spicy peanut chili sauce. Chicken was tender and juicy. Asada was a little bland Prices are pretty cheap. I would go back to give them another try. It reminds me of the stands you see everywhere in LA. read more

I really liked their food but I'm giving them 1 star because their was a MAGGOT in my daughters horchata. A LIVE MAGGOT that she spit out of her mouth. We were their second customers of the day that day and waited patiently while they got everything setup. We've not been back since and don't plan to. Unfortunate, for me since they are so close by. I put the maggot in a little cup and considered taking it back over to them but I never did. It wouldn't change anything. Anyone who has made horchata before knows that there had to have been something nasty going on for a maggot to show up in it. Someone was lazy somewhere. read more

Really frustrating experience. I waited about 20 minutes just to place my order. When I finally ordered, the employee handed me number 26 even though the customer before me had number 30. I sat there waiting forever for my number to be called, but it never was. Eventually, she asked me about order 31 and repeated the tacos that were in it. I told her those weren't mine because that's not what I thought I ordered, so she offered to remake the food. I then waited another 20 minutes for the remake. When she finally handed me the order, my drink was missing even though I paid for one. She went back to check the ticket and realized she had grabbed the wrong order entirely. At that point, somehow the original order 31 that had been sitting on the counter the whole time magically turned out to actually be my order after all. So my food had apparently been sitting there getting cold while I waited another 20 minutes for a remake that shouldn't have even happened. The entire situation was disorganized, confusing, and handled very poorly. read more

How are you not going to tell me you ain't got no onion ,cilantro or salsa when I place my order then serve me a plate of just tortillas and meat. Disappointed will not go back. read more

SO good!!! We went to the Auburn location (a dirt lot next to an apartment complex) on a Tuesday night when they were offering $1 tacos. The truck got there at 5:30 and was set up and taking orders around 6:30. It took about 20 minutes after that for us to get our food. While we weren't prepared for the wait, it went by quickly as we watched all the prep that went into it. Honestly, though? It was so worth the wait!!! They had about 10 types of meat and we tried 3 on our tacos - asada, pollo and pastor. The others were good, but we cannot recommend the pastor enough! Came with a thin slice of pineapple that added just a touch of sweetness. They also had pickled onions, radishes and cucumbers, multiple salsas and, of course, onion and cilantro. All SO good!!! We ate it in the car as there was minimal seating, but they had everything we needed to take it to go. The experience was definitely not what we were expecting. Overall, though, we will most definitely be going back! read more

Came across this spot while heading up north from LA to visit my family. Once I got off the grapevine I needed a burrito to keep me sane. Once I got into Bakersfield I saw this spot had some well reviews gave their burrito a try and it's a must! We'll be going back when traveling. read more

really good tacos just know even tho it says they open at 5:30. your gonna have to wait til 6ish or longer to order. good service just a long wait til they start taking orders read more

Had 12 tacos in one sitting, was absolutely delicious. Would recommend for authentic tacos, bring cash! In my case- lots of it!

I tried the Asada Tacos one night after a Condors game. Been hearing good things about them. It's nice they're open late we went at around 11pm! Luckily there was no line! I ordered 4,tacos Asada. They came out quick! They're pretty good I wouldn't go as far as a top spot in Bakersfield but the prices @$2.50 a taco make this a must go to when in the mood for good food at an amazing price! They have a toppings bar off to the side where you can add your fav toppings, which is convenient but I can only imagine all the hands that have been in the tubs grabbing lemons and cucumbers all night! Overall a good spot with amazing prices and I will be back! Also I visited the Stockdale location which isn't on here! read more

I found this place on Auburn St. in East Bakersfield (a little east of Fairfax) on a Wednesday night. I ordered 2 carne asada and 1 chicken taco. All of them were really tasty. They had buckets of onions and salsas. The service was good but they only take cash or Zelle. The ambiance was very casual as it's an outdoor street vendor. Overall, I'd go back! read more

Love coming here for our taco fix. Food is made to order and the service is well organized. The lady take your order and gives you a number they call out when your food is ready. It smells amazing as soon as you pull up and they have a menu poster with pricing and meats for easier ordering. Cash and Zelle accepted. read more

I live in the LA area and so far these tacos are wayyyyyy better than any taco out here. I had the carne asada and Al pastor tacos with the darker green salsa, would recommend 10/10. Horchata and strawberry horchata was average. read more

We stopped by the taco truck on Stockdale Hwy a few weeks ago. The person taking our order was grouchy and seemed like we were bothering her by ordering food. The containers with supplies (utensils, to go containers, sauces, onions etc) had flies all over them. So gross!! We didn't use any of those items. The food was ok, but I was so grossed out by the flies and rude behavior, I'll never return. read more

Came on a Thursday for their Thursday special which is 2 tortas for $15, that's a deal!! I've came before for $1 tacos on Tuesday and I just have to say they have the best street tacos in town. Once you order you can see all the magic happening right in front of you. They're all working together and making things more efficiently. I like that they have 4 sauces to choose from. I especially like their pickled onions. Also found out they had onions and potatoes sautéed in chiles which was packed with flavor. Also ended up getting their baked potato which is packed with cheese and meat. I have to say there's nothing bad I've ever tried from here. They've earned my top spot for Mexican street food! read more

I tried some many times to like this place but it's never 100% good. Some times the tacos are good but the beans in the burrito are hard and under cooked. Or the time the burrito was good but the meat didn't taste right. It's always something. This last time, the girl taking the orders had a hard time. read more

It is a bit chaotic getting your order. Not much enter action with servers. Food is good.

Was recommended to try Erick's tacos this week and they did not disappoint. We went on Wednesday for $1 dollar tacos (a deal you can't beat) the service is fast and staff are nice and have fun energy. The salsas and aguas frescas are delicious but Watch out for the yellowish salsa it is SPICY! The tacos are not overly greasy which is a bonus and we enjoyed our experience overall. My only critique is the trash was near by their food tent where customers leave their trash and it did give a foul smell so maybe move the trash can farther away because it can throw off your appetite with the trash being so close to wear people order and gather their sides. read more

So I went to the auburn location this past weekend, I went on Friday night ordered and it started pouring they offered for other customers to wait under the tent while I had to stand outside in the rain for 20 mins before they told me my order would take 30 mins to make because the grill wouldn't heat due to rain, which i understand and left. A friend and I come by the next evening, order and everyone was so rude for no reason we were so nice, they guy cooking kept staring at my friend weird and they overcharged me. The food was amazing best pastor tacos I've ever had but I don't know if I will be back due to the service I received. read more

The pastor tacos are delicious. They are also decently priced. The asada is smoked and has a distinct smoky taste, which is something I don't like so I wasn't a fan. There is absolutely no seating so be prepared to go. The salsas you pack yourself were very flavorful. I'll go back for the pastor specifically but otherwise there are better taco spots in the area. read more

If I could give it more stars, I would. This is one of the best taco stands I've ever had! Definitely worth the stop!!!

First time trying Erick street taco and me and I'm family really like his taco if y'all want good tacos go to Erick street tacos

Food was so bomb. Worth the drive across town. We had tacos and tortas! Very quick service.

The best burrito I have ever had. Definitely worth stopping by if you are traveling through. I had the carne asada burrito and the pineapple aqua Fresca. I would highly recommend both. read more

Been there 3 times , giant quesadilla on corn tortilla, the loaded asada potato is served with home made corn tortillas, gigantic burritos. Food is amazing , everything is made with love , portions are very generous. . A must try . Hands down the best in town.!! read more

The food is delicious and reasonably priced. Service is quick, and they get pretty packed. They observe taco Tuesday so the tacos are like a dollar, that's when they REALLY get busy; parked cars all the way down the street. Outdoor dining in the middle of a field with loud music makes you feel like you're at the ranch. I believe they're only open Tuesday through Sunday. They set up around 5 o'clock. They are not open on Mondays.. read more

I went to the Auburn location on Sunday with my boyfriend and we go there all the time and never had a problem, but this lady with bright red highlights was so unprofessional and rude didn't bother to take our order and completely ignored us plenty of times and the rest of the crew was also just standing around waiting for the food to be "ready" .. they need to stop hiring random people who clearly don't care about their customers. read more

The tacos are too salty and doesn't have a char flavor. They also do no take card which is a huge inconvenience.

The best Steet Tacos every thing is so good and delicious all fresh ingredients and homemade tortillas mmmm yum

I went to the one on Auburn St in NE Bakersfield. Tacos were excellent! Salsas have great flavors also. The orange one is extremely hot, so be aware! They asada had a smoky flavor which I personally don't care for. But I just get pastor or chicken. It's so good! read more
