    Chips and salsa
    Jason S.

    This is great spot in downtown. We were quickly seated. I felt like this is a hidden gem. Not a bunch of frazzle. Just great tasting food. The food was great. Full of flavor. Both entrees were hot. No cold food here. The waitress checked on us several times and was very polite. I highly recommend trying this place out if you're looking for great authentic tasting Mexican food.

    Aguachile Negro

    We visited Nuestro Mexico for the first time tonight and had a wonderful dinner. We started with the Aguachiles Negros, which had a wonderful sauce with a perfect balance of lime and spice. For my main plate I had the Enchilada Trio. There was one enchilada each of chile verde, suiza, and beef ranchero. I really enjoyed all three. My wife had a dish recommended by our waiter called Mariscos Poblanos, which was a plate of shrimp and fish in a poblano cream sauce. She absolutely loved it. On top of the food the restaurant itself is great. It's a small, warm, and colorfully decorated little restaurant with a nice looking front patio along the street. Everyone who worked there was very welcoming and our waiter checked in on us multiple times, while also making recommendations and telling us more about the restaurant. We really enjoyed dinner and we'll definitely be back.

    On our way home from Paso Robles, we stopped in Bakersfield for lunch. So glad we chose Nuestro Mexico restaurant! Exceptional staff welcome you in immediately and give you top notch attention, bringing you extra salsa and napkins without even being asked. The posole is the best I've ever had in a restaurant! My husband really enjoyed the steak fajitas which included nopales in the grilled vegetables. The chips and salsa were tasty as well! My husband's Cafe de Olla was so delicious, accompanied with a yummy Conchita pan dulce. Highly recommend!!

    We love this place and eat here often. We attend church downtown and appreciate that Nuestro is open on Sundays. They are so welcoming. Some of the staff date back to La Costa days and are so familiar to us. The food is very good. My typical choice is the flautas, shredded beef and sometimes chicken. I can't stop eating the chips and salsa and their margaritas are decent. My husband always orders the pollo en mole. He says it is the best. Seriously, he never orders anything other than the mole. The restaurant is quaint. You feel as though you have stumbled on a hidden gem. Some may call it a hole in the wall. They have worked to provide a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. Not a lot of frills, but it's colorful and you are well cared for.

    We had our sons 18th birthday/ graduation dinner party and couldn't have asked for better. The owner was great and worked with us on exactly what we needed. The back party room fit perfectly for our 25 guests. We chose package B for the buffet options. Drinks were not included but the pricing was reasonable. If you're looking for an intimate place for a small gathering this is the perfect spot! Food was amazing and the staff were great!

    Yeas later still consistently delicious and authentic. Nuestro makes the patron feel at home and transports you to Mexico with its use of color, texture, and depth throughout the establishment. The food is amazing, we know this, but it's the quality service and ambiance that stands out after so many 5 star reviews, awards, and authentic cuisine. Thanks Nuestro. We will always come back.

    This is a very charming little treasure on the East Side. The moment you walk in, you are struck by all the beautiful Mexican art works on the wall. The owner is an art collector, he enthusiastically showed off his art collection to me. What a sweet guy. The waitress was sweet and kind as well. The food came very quickly. I am a massive fan of Mexican seafood. I started the seafood ceviche appetizer. It is light, tangy, refreshing, delicious. With the waitress' recommendation, I had the chile verde seafood as the main course. It is a mixture of shrimp, fish, and scallops. The seafood was tender, soaked up the delicious chile verde sauce. It tastes shockingly like bouillabaisse to me. Overall loved the food. Need to come back and try more dishes.

    This is a great place to go before an event in Bakersfield. Service is fast and food yummy. I wasn't hungry before our show at the Fox, so I got a kids meal with a cheese quesadilla. I only ate two strips of it. My friend enjoyed their enchilada meals. Our drinks were filled as soon as they were empty. Great customer service! 6/23/25

    Very nice service, chips and salsa are yummy. I love the decorations and colors they used throughout the restaurant.

    Pastor Tacos
    Tony D.

    We had heard all the buzz about Nuestro Mexico, so we stopped in for lunch on our way to back to LA. The service was friendly and the food was very good. I wouldn't claim the tacos are the best I've ever eaten, but I will definitely be back next time I am in the area. We ate plenty of churros, chips and pastor tacos.

    Chicken chile Colorado rice and beans plate
    Stella B.

    Went in for lunch, we chose one of the lunch specials. Service was great and the place was clean and well decorated. Chips and salsa are tasty. Both of our meals were brought out in a nice amount of time after ordering. The pork in the chile verde burrito was great not too spicy. My 1st time trying their chicken chile Colorado and I enjoyed it. Decent lunch prices too, so this is a great spot.

    Guava Margarita
    Maria M.

    Food - incredible, service - excellent, drinks - DELICIOUS!!! Traveled to Bakersfield for work and wanted a relaxing place for dinner. This place is small in the front, sat outside to enjoy the evening. Great ambiance. Ordered the guava margarita. Best decision ever. Absolutely delicious. Started with the queso fundido which was creamy and savory. Really enjoyed my carne asada plate. Staff was really nice and attentive. Will absolutely go back!

    Is your Sunday brunch all you can eat?

    Yes

    Is the patio area dog friendly?

    Yes it's dog friendly

    Do they have breakfast or brunch options?

    Yes we have breakfast options

    I have a food allergy to Canola/Rapeseed oil. Does Nuestro use this oil in the foods? Can I eat tacos and rice with my allergy?

    Yes we used it in some items

    What's full of flavor and filling?

    Everything is filling if you order enough of it... but you're not going to walk out spending less than $10-20 on yourself just to get "full". I ordered their rack of lamb, spent way to much and left hungry, never again will I return to this place… 

    Are the lunch specials from 11-2 available on the weekend too?

    No they are only available monday to Friday

    Is there mariachis on Saturday nights?

    None, when we have been there on Saturday nights.

The restaurant has an open kitchen concept, which we were actually excited about since you can see everything being prepared. Unfortunately, that's where things went wrong. We were seated right in front of the kitchen, and my wife began noticing some concerning food safety issues from one of the cooks. She observed him handling ready to eat, cooked food with his bare hands, including picking up avocado from her California omelette so another cook could add cheese underneath. Shortly after, she saw him rub his nose and continue working without washing his hands. The final straw was watching him grab a pinch of scrambled eggs from a plate on the hot line and eat it with his fingers. At that point, we were completely turned off. We had already placed our order, but there was no way we were going to eat after seeing that. My wife went to the counter and let the server know what she had witnessed, and we left. It's disappointing because the menu looked great and we were really looking forward to trying this place. I'm not sure how this behavior isn't being noticed or addressed by other staff, but based on what we saw, it didn't seem like a one-time thing. I hope management takes this seriously, reviews their cameras, and reinforces proper food safety standards.

The vibes in the new space are absolutely immaculate. There is so much more energy here, and the decorations are incredibly cute. It's the perfect backdrop for a killer meal. The Main Event: This time around, I went with the En Fuego Burger. This beast is loaded with a chile-spiced beef patty, pepperjack, sharp cheddar, thick-cut bacon, chipotle mayo, pepper relish, pickled jalapeños, and a mountain of fried jalapeños + onion strings. The Flavor Profile: This burger delivers on every level, but those fried onion strings were to die for. For the side, I got the sweet potato fries, which are served as big, thick-cut wedges. They come paired with a duo of spicy ketchup and a marshmallow dipping sauce. Switching between the two was amazing, the marshmallow sauce actually makes the fries feel like a dessert. The Drink: To wash it all down, I ordered the basil lemonade, and omg, I need to figure out how to recreate this at home. It's exactly what it sounds like, crisp, refreshing lemonade with a perfect herbal basil finish. The Verdict: If you loved their old spot, the new location takes everything to the next level. Between the upgraded atmosphere, the dessert-like fries, and that refreshing lemonade, I will absolutely be coming back here again and again.

    SMITTENS STAPLE IS THEIR ABILITY TO MISS THE FLAVOR IN EVER SINGLE DISH…read more Update: coming back after some palate development... smitten is one of the most tasteless restaurants in town. Their hype was definitely due to the 'aesthetic'. Nothing is really outstanding to me. The drinks are such a let down, the coffee is borderline yuck.. do not recommend. Everything is quite unmemorable. Service is whatever, sometimes mid, sometimes bad. Nothing outstanding. Ambiance.... well... this one has been replicated one too many times. The food is heavily missing flavor,the hummus is disgusting. I can't believe they call that thing hummus, it's an insult to actual dish.. it's almost like it was trying to imitate the real dish, but failed terribly in even attempting to. Their pizza tasted like play-doh and looked very pale. Smitten is at least consistent with one thing, which is their staple: no flavor. One of the breaking points for me was being served food that had someone's HAIR. The restaurant is very expensive for the poor experience they have to offer. I stopped recommending them a long time ago.
