Today, we decided to get all our fave food and drinks: -Watermelon Juice (Agua Fresca): so refreshing, not overly sweet but tasty -Esquite: we love them without chili. Jenny has the best corn forher esquite and the right ratio for the mayo, cheese, etc. -Strawberries and cream (fresa con crema): the best one I've ever had and you can't tell me otherwise. I've been to LA, San Diego, etc, but this is the best one ever. So so good!!! If you haven't tried this place, what are you even doing? You're definitely missing out!

We were craving some Mexican antojitos this past weekend and decided to stop in after looking it up…read moreon Yelp. It's a bit tucked away, but once inside, it's a beautiful, colorful snack shop with a great variety to choose from. We ordered a couple Diablitos, an esquite, fresas con crema, a duro preparado and a biónico. The fresas con crema (strawberries and cream) were so delicious! The Diablitos were spicy and well made. The biónico was equally good, the fruits used were fresh. As for the esquite, it was okay. The corn had a sweet taste that wasn't my favorite, but the toppings made up for it. My only issue was the duro preparado. We asked with everything g on it, including avocado. I'm not sure if the avocado was extra, but there were literally only 3 slender slices of avocado for the whole thing! I get avocado may be extra, but if we ask for it, don't skimp!

As a thoughtful gesture, Jose even treated us to complimentary nachos and an agua fresca, which made the experience even more memorable. What truly sets this place apart is Jose's genuine passion for what he does. It's clear that he takes pride in serving his customers and creating a great experience, not just running a business. Excellent food, outstanding hospitality, and exceptional service. We will definitely be back!

We love the ambiance here is it is perfect for families to enjoy and all colors on the decor make it feel very inviting and special. A nice treat for sure.

The possibilities are endless. So many types of fruit and candy/topping options! It was hard to decide so I let the guy add a variety of tamarindo candies to my fresh fruit. All of the fruit was sweet and the candies were delicious!! This location also serves crepes by Cafe Crepes. They look very good and have a variety of options to choose from. The only reason I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars is because there was only one person working and the wait was long when there were only 2 people in front of me.

Traditional in its offerings, Concha and Guava Empanadas both residing adjacent tricolor Cookies and Pastel, Emmanuel's Donuts are light and fluffy while choices like Orejas and Besos are better than what one might expect in an area with little competition. A proud part of the local community, staff exceedingly friendly even when English is limited, Flan and Tres Leches hide at the far left of a cold case but are certainly worth asking for as the latter offers an open Sponge with less sweet Sauce than most plus Fruits including Strawberries or Mandarin Oranges.

Stopped by before the game with the family to snag a treat…read more The location is a bit small, and the counter layout is a bit weird. As you enter you are at the register, but if there is someone ordering you're all up in each others space lol. The service is friendly and quick. They offer a variety of paletas and snacks. The paleta my wife got was fire, a gansito one (a mexican version of a twinkie, filled with jam, cream and covered in chocolate) It was really tasty. Everyone enjoyed their ice creams. The quality of the items was obvious. Everything is made in house. Bomb!

During my time in Delano, I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation to visit a local spot,…read moreand I took the suggestion. The moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped in a cozy atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The staff were warm and welcoming, taking the time to explain the menu and offer their recommendations. My parents were drawn to the Filipino Halo Halo, a classic dessert that showcased a variety of fruits, and creamy milk in a stunning display of color and texture. I give it a 6 oit of 10. It was missing some main ingredients. However, I opted for the Thrifty flavor, featuring chocolate malted crunch ice cream that proved to be a rich and indulgent treat. I give it a 5 out of 10 only because it tased like it was sitting there for a while. One major concern that might deter me from coming back is the fact that the seating area is quite compact. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that there were only two tables, each with a capacity of two people, which seemed a bit restrictive. My initial intention was to grab dessert and engage in conversation, but the limited seating arrangements made it challenging to do so. As a result, we opted to enjoy our desserts in the parking lot, which, thankfully, had pleasant weather. Overall, I think this establishment is better suited for customers who prefer to take their orders to-go, rather than dining in. I would return just because I support small business and believe that every purchase makes a significant difference to the local community.

- Panecito y Café My…read moregirlfriend and I stopped at Panecito y Café while driving through Bakersfield on our way to Los Angeles. After comparing several review sites, we chose this spot because it was conveniently located near the freeway and had a great selection of coffee and baked goods. I'm glad we did because it ended up being an excellent stop. Parking was easy, with plenty of open spaces right in front of the bakery. When we walked in, we were greeted by a very friendly staff. Most of the employees primarily spoke Spanish, which is pretty common for an authentic Mexican bakery. Thankfully my girlfriend speaks Spanish, which made ordering easier, though everyone was still welcoming and helpful. The layout is nice. There's a small dining area on one side, while the other side features the coffee counter, a small selection of Mexican grocery items, and display cases packed with fresh pastries and breads. The selection is impressive. They had conchas, empanadas, croissants, yoyos, polvorones, muffins, churros, cinnamon rolls, pineapple cakes, Mexican donuts, vanilla and pineapple pastries, niño envuelto, cannoli-style pastries, and many other traditional baked goods. I ordered the apple empanada, which was excellent, along with another pastry that my girlfriend explained was topped with a cream cheese and butter mixture covered in sugar. It was incredibly sweet, but absolutely delicious. For drinks, I ordered the large Carlos V iced coffee, and my girlfriend ordered the Duvalín coffee, which is inspired by the popular Mexican candy. We both really enjoyed our drinks. One thing I thought was especially nice is that the specialty coffees come with a small conchita on top, making them an even better value. At around $7.95 for a large, it's a great deal considering you're getting both a specialty coffee and fresh bread. Their coffee menu is extensive. Beyond their specialty drinks, they also offer lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos, mochas, macchiatos, espresso, frappes, hot chocolate, iced hot chocolate, teas, lemonades, aguas frescas, and plenty of flavored syrups like vanilla, hazelnut, brown sugar, cinnamon, caramel, coconut, white chocolate, and chocolate. I also used the restroom during our visit, and it was spotless. It was so clean that I actually went back and told my girlfriend she should use it before we got back on the road because it was one of the cleanest public restrooms we'd come across that day. Overall, this was a fantastic stop. Easy parking, friendly service, clean facilities, excellent coffee, and an outstanding selection of authentic Mexican pastries. I would absolutely stop here again anytime I'm passing through Bakersfield and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Mexican bakery and coffee shop.

Tried the mazapán, wasn't overly sweet. It's a bit warm inside the location, I'm assuming due to the ovens used to bake the bread.
