    Hair on the left hand side

    Stay Away!!! I have been craving menudo for a while so I thought I would take my boys to get some menudo for breakfast but instead I got feed hairs!!! It's so disturbing and disgusting!!! I pointed out to management and she said that is how the menudo came with hairs!!! It's so gross, I told her me and my son were not going to eat the mundo with hairs on it because it was not cleaned right! And she just keep gaslighting me and saying that, that is how the menudo meat is with hairs!!!! They have no shame! She didn't give me or refund or offer me an exchange! No even an apology!!! Ive been eating menudo since I was 10 years old and never in myblife did i eat menudo with hairs still on them!! Never Ever!! They do not care about their customers! They just want to make money off of you! Also the homony was overcooked and tasted like dough. Please don't go there! Stay away unless you want to eat hairs!

    Okay so let me tell pay no attention to the outside they do have some solid things on their menu and some things that are just okay. Maybe depends on the day? Today was a good day for Pastor Sope!!! It was loaded with so much goodness like in the menu photo with the red background I posted today no joke. The pastor was super flavorful, tender and not dry at all, I would of took a photo but was so hungry I forgot. I'm so glad I ordered the Sope in addition to the asada burrito. Today the burrito was just okay. Sope for the win delicious.

    This is a solid choice for tacos. Prices aren't too high and the food is pretty good and clean; not drowning in grease. This is a lot better than some other La Villa's I've been to. It's close to the office, so I grab tacos here pretty often. I stick with carne asada and or shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos are pretty flavorful; just a bit just smaller than what I'm used to. Luckily the price reflects that. The chicken tacos are just a bit on the dry side. Maybe soon I'll explore more of the menu. 3 strong stars. You won't regret it, but you be jumping up and clicking your heels on your way out.

    I'm a big La Villa fan when in Bakersfield. I see others have not had good service or food but mine was amazing. The cashier was friendly and my food was on point as usual. Maybe it's the time of day that we go but I was definitely satisfied with everything. Yes it's more of a hole in the wall, but I like those kind of spots. I had my usual torta de carne asada and it was delicious! Nice hot bread, meat was seasoned well, everything in it was good. The salsa was okay. Too watery for my taste. I prefer a thicker type of salsa. Overrall, La Villa was pretty good. I will be returning here if I'm in town.

    Meat looks like it's been recooked. The tortilla is stiff tastes like it's been out for days. Would not recommend

    All these reviews a years old. The burrito wasn't as good as I expected. The tortilla was stiff and the meat tasted like it had been recooked it didn't have a good carne asada taste. Would not recommend unless everything else is closed.

    The Asada Fries were delicious.  My sister and I smiled on our first bites.

    My sister and I really enjoyed the food here. We both smiled and shared a mutual feeling on our first bite of our asada fries.

    Excellent!! Authentic! Carne Asada is the best! I had them add cheese to my tacos. Chicken was also good. There are limes and salsas and other continents. Great service, very friendly! Would recommend and go back again!

    There are many La Villas in town, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Nobody makes tortas as good as this location though.

I ordered the shrimp fajitas and my husband ordered the chicken and steak molcajete. Our food was brought out super fast! The portions - humongous! But the food is so good! My husband is super picky when it comes to Mexican food, and he said this molcajete is his favorite so far compared to other Mexican restaurants we've been to. The bright colorful colors and great music selection really make it joyous and fun dining experiences. Highly recommend.

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. I'm so glad I only ordered appetizers because had I ordered food I would've wasted so much money. Birria tacos simply taste like red beef tacos, no real authentic flavor. Shrimp skewers I was told was okay but even that had more veggies than actual shrimps. The rice wasn't cooked all the way. The presentation on nachos was excellent but the nachos were gross. No flavor in guacamole. Beans were plain beans bland af. The chicken wasn't seasoned and had an awful charbroiled taste, just awful! The salsa weren't spicy or tasty. I can only recommend this place for a good happy hour spot because prices are outrageous for drinks. Once again they should've focused on the food than the decor.

The place is pretty easy to find on the corner of 18th & R. There isn't a lot of seating for more than parties of 4. We were a party of 6 and we all smooshed into a horseshoe booth inside. There are only 2 of these booths available and they indicated they are not able to place additional seating at the booths. I imagine you might be able to put tables together outside for a larger party. We were greeted warmly, and while I felt overwhelmed by the amazing choices, the gal taking our order put me at ease by walking me through the menu board. We got amazing carnitas quesadillas and tacos and another dish that came on top of a mound of delicious fries. It's the kind of place where you order, then sit down and they bring you the food. We were well taken care of. Our drinks were refilled and they brought us 'to go' boxes. Their portions are generous and just tasty. And the iced tea was perfect! We ordered a full order of chips and salsa. That is extra. It was $6 for a full order ($5 for half) and these chips were well worth the cost. We will be back!

Before my guest even arrived, I was told the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes, which made it impossible to plan or order properly for both of us. About 30 minutes after being seated, the waitress asked to close out my tab and mentioned they were closing an hour and a half early, something that should have been communicated when I walked in so I could have chosen to go elsewhere. To make things worse, about 10 minutes before closing, they turned the lights all the way up and shut the music off, which made it very clear we were being pushed out. No one came by to offer boxes for our food (I had more than half my meal left), and my guest didn't even get to finish her drink. We were essentially rushed out before the already early closing time, with no proper send-off. Overall, the experience felt very unprofessional and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

The food was absolutely delicious, which is why I'm leaving this review, but unfortunately the service missed the mark during our most recent visit. We ordered our steak medium rare, but it came out well done. When our server took our order, our appetizers arrived quickly and then our entrees followed, but we had to remind him about the Starry soda that was ordered and never brought out initially. The biggest issue occurred when the Aguachile Ribeye was brought to our table. One of the plates was broken, causing food and sauce to spill all over me and the seat. While the server acknowledged something happened, there wasn't much concern shown about the spill on my shorts, and no replacement plate was offered. A simple apology and a little more attention to the situation would have gone a long way. Later, when we asked for a box for the leftover steak, it took quite a while and I ended up having to remind our server again. Overall, the food was fantastic and is the reason I continue to come back. The kitchen clearly knows what they're doing. However, the service could use some improvement, especially when it comes to attention to detail and handling issues when they arise. I'll still be back because I genuinely enjoy the food, but I hope the service experience improves on future visits.
