I am not sure where all of these 5 star and 4 star reviews come from. The people that gave those…read moreratings are either fake or just got used to eating caca. This place is by far the worst restaurant I have been to in my lifetime. Although almost all the restaurants in Taft are disgusting. This place takes the cake. I am including a photo of the this thing they called a plain carne asada taco. If you look at the meat it does not look like anything anyone would want to sink their teeth into. My mom took that meat home for her cats and even they looked at her and gave her the WTF look and did not eat this caca. They served my brother a plate of fish with no flavor. They gave me a campechana which normally comes in a nice red color but they gave me something that looked like it was made with Flint Michigan tap water. The bill was $105 and all of it was absolutely disgusting. Do yourself a favor and do not eat out anywhere in Taft and just drive to Bakersfield or the Casino if you are eating out. To the owners and workers here how dare you serve this crap?

The gravy was flavorful and perfectly seasoned without being overly salty. Even the small details were right: they served a generous amount of soft butter (not hard from the refrigerator) with the French toast without us having to ask. Large portions and cheerful, attentive service. A total 10/10 experience!

Today, I had the pleasure to visit La Salsa and was very pleased with my shrimp enchiladas! Lots of flavor, and I cleaned the plate! This place appears to have a loyal local following and has a very pleasant and friendly vibe. Definitely worth a return visit!

In search of a good wet burrito in Taft. Had lunch with a friend here last week and we decided on…read morethis place because he liked the chips better than other mexican food places in town. Our server brought each of us a small dish of salsa and a basket of chips, both were good. I opted for the ale carte asada burrito which comes wet. It was pretty tasty. The best in town? Maybe, my search continues, but I would definitely come back for another one. I also like being able to order it ala carte with a side of rice and beans. Price is right too!

I ordered a plain carne asada burrito a la carte(no rice and beans on side) the meat was terrible...alot of pieces of hard not chewable fat of carne asada chunks i kept having to spit out and the burrito itself only had rice beans and the meat thats it! Can you believe I paid $16.95+ $3.95 for a diet coke (medium size) = total $22 dollars for this meal? Never again!!!

Have been going here for several years. No problems in the past but today was different. My wife…read moreordered a meal that was $16.99. When we got her bill, it was $21.99. I went to the cashier to complain. He stated they changed their prices a few weeks ago but haven't changed the menus yet. I asked how they could raise the meal $5 and he couldn't answer. I told him California law requires the advertised or posted price was a requirement for them to honor. He was ot going to do that. Our entire group was overcharged and we have decided Hacienda's food was not worth it and we will not return there again. Their loss. Too bad.

I was on my way to Carrizo Plains and needed a bite. Surprised to see a solid taco joint in this…read morepart of town! I'm a fan. From most to least impressed: + Lengua taco: This was done really, really well. Lengua can be a hit or a miss sometimes, as it's easy to make it tough to chew, but this was extremely tender and I could've ordered an entire plate of just this. + Quesabirra taco: Really flavorful. The birria was great and pairs well with consume. + Asada taco: I would skip this one because the meat was on the tougher end for me. But the other two tacos win me over. Reasonably priced and the meal came with chips and salsa. Also clean seating and bathrooms with ample parking in the lot. Make this your pit stop if you're ever in this side of town!

Our server welcomed us with the update that they had already sold out of chile rellenos. When I…read moreordered agua de Jimica they were out of that too so horchata it was. We ordered chips and salsa but then learned they were out of salsa and would be making more. They did have the tacos and quesadilla we ordered and they were delicious. Our server checked in to see if we needed anything else and we said we were waiting on the chips and salsa. She updated us that they were actually out of the ingredients for the salsa so those wouldn't be coming. I'm glad I checked the stall in the bathroom as one was out of toilet paper. I worry they might not have the cash flow they need if they have such a lean inventory.
