    Shrimp Cockail
    Roxanne D.

    I can't believe we haven't tried this place sooner, it's right around the corner from us. My husband was looking for some street tacos with a gourmet flair. I went to Yelp and saw the great reviews Nuestro Mexico Tacos & Bar had, off of Calloway and Hageman in the far north corner of the Savemart shopping center (in the old Baja Fresh spot). The vibe is Cool and the service is great! The food was fresh and delicious. We had the Taquitos de Cilantro (free with a Yelp check-in and $35 purchase) the guacamole was tangy, the Queso Fundido came out bubbling hot and soooo cheesy! The street tacos are fun and tasty. Hubby had the Pastor Taco Ala- with a spear of pineapple and Carnitas Taco Ala with pickled onions. The Shrimp Cocktail was fresh and perfect . A great experience, we'll be back. If you haven't been by yet, please stop in and show them some love, they'll love you back. Thank me later

    I am Definitely a fan of there smoke in the city drink. Excellent presentation! And a very tasty smoked old fashioned.

    Inside decor

    We came here to celebrate a friends birthday and throughly enjoyed ourselves. This was a first time for the hubby and I so we didn't know what to expect. The decor is very bright and trendy but it is nice. We were the first to arrive so we immediately ordered drinks. Our waitress was extremely friendly and brought out our vodka presses quickly (even though we actually ordered vodka tonics). Once everyone arrived we placed our orders. I got the steak fajitas and the hubby got the Diablo shrimp plate. He said that his shrimp wasn't too hot where he'd be paying for it later and had great flavor. I enjoyed my fajitas but the nopales had a bitter after taste so I pushed those to the side after a few bites. One of the guys in our party ordered the abondigas soup and the meatballs were so hard he couldn't even break them with a spoon! He also mentioned it was lacking in flavor, dousing it with salt and requesting some Tapatio. He powered through and ate it though. Overall I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. I would like to go back and try the tacos since I did hear that they're pretty good.

    Yummy food that is full of flavor. Nice and unique variety of margaritas. Today we got fresh watermelon marg and tamarind...beautiful and delish! We also got the ceviche app and happy hour tacos. - chicken mole - tinga chicken - carnitas. Restaurant tucked in a shopping mall...don't miss it...worth the stop in.

    Our waitress was amazing !! When in Bakersfield from LA this is a must to visit. Food and drinks are delicious.

    Absolutely loved my dinner at Nuestro! I've been driving by it for months and so glad I finally stopped by. The watermelon Margarita was so delicious and the cantarito was unique and yummy. The food was very tasty and there was not a crumb left on our plates. The atmosphere is beautiful and our waitress was very nice. It's different than any other Mexican restaurant in rosedale and offers a fancier vibe. Would highly recommend for a date night!

    An amazing Pineapple Moscow mule and Oaxaca Old fashion.  Both incredible.
    Lulu H.

    Haven't been so excited about a new restaurant in forever ... Happy I found this hidden gem which I am told only opened six months ago! We're going back tonight to try more happy hour drinks and listen to the live music. We were driving by, saw a number of chairs stacked up in the front window and assumed it was closed due to the pandemic. I thought what the heck - let me call... and I was surprised to hear "no" they are open! It is really nice inside, the bar is beautiful. I would describe this place as an amazing bar with equally amazing food. I think it's a wonderful place to come with friends for delish food and drink, beautiful atmosphere but not too stuffy. The drinks are very creative, with good quality ingredients and beautifully presented. I ordered a Pineapple Moscow mule (circa pineapple vodka, ginger beer, pineapple juice) and my boyfriend the Oaxaca Old Fashioned (Patron silver, El Silence Mezcal combined with a mix of a special homemade spices liqueur - a VERY STRONG DRINK). BOTH were very good. We also both ordered a mango pop shooter which was yummy .... I was a regular at their downtown restaurant when I worked downtown, loved it, and am not surprised the food here is so good. I ordered the fish fillet with garlic and onions. My boyfriend doesn't even like seafood but also thought this dish was very tasty, and he said he would order that next time as well. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, that had a lot of avocado and other fresh ingredients, in a more liquid / soup presentation. Very good. Inhaled it. He ordered an avocado and chicken salad which we both really liked. The dressing tasted better than what I thought it would (tomato dressing). I also ordered a cup of the chicken pozole. I appreciate I could get a cup rather than a whole bowl. My boyfriend usually only likes green pozole but felt this was the best he's ever had. Our server Vanessa was sweet, very helpful and attentive. She suggested the churros which we passed on, but after a review of the photos of the churros, I believe we had erred. We also got to talk with the owner because I liked our experience so much I thought it would be a fabulous venue to hold a private event. . . He shared how there was live music there on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays ....Thus we had yet another excuse (besides the HH which is from Sunday to Wednesday from 11 to 7:00 pm, and food) to return the next day! And we friends joining us too - yep, liked this place THAT much! We are supposed to be "dieting" ( I know this review makes that hard to believe, but I did sub the rice and beans for veggies with the fish fillet and we did pass on the complimentary chips and salsa) but I am going to order the salmon tacos in addition to the garlic fish fillet; they look GOOD! It takes guts to open a restaurant during the pandemic. But I wish them well... For me, it's the perfect combination of delicious food, drink and a beautiful environment.

    Kids taco with rice no beans
    Sarah C.

    Took some time to visit another location of one of my favorite restaurants. The food here is so delicious and so worth the price. My go to is always the Chile Encuerado, the poblano Chile is stuffed with cheese and shrimp with a white sauce. We also got the trio fajitas and of course you can never go wrong with this choice. The little one got her taco with rice which usually also comes with beans but she skipped on that. They served us what had to be fresh corn tortillas and my daughter took one filled it with her rice and was in heaven. Those tortillas were heaven. The place was quiet even though there was a private party happening on the opposite side of restaurant. All of the servers were helpful and sincerely seemed happy to be at work. This always says a lot to me. Would definitely recommend this place!

    Saw the new location and pulled right in as we really enjoy the original one. The food is not quite the same, they tried to modernize the menu which is not what the other restaurant is about. It's more about authentic cuisine. The food wasn't bad just not as good as the IG location. Felt much more like a night club than a place to eat inside. Large bar and looks like it was set up to have a dance floor in the evenings.

    If you have had the Watermelon Margarita why are you not here yet! Delicious some of the tacos outstanding. Patio outside (next to the road). Place was empty today , people are missing out.

    Ok, first off, this place is next to my favorite sushi place: High Five Sushi, so it was easy for me to find. I always love to see local eateries next to eachother. But this is not why we are here today. When you enter into this establishment, there's is one thing you must do. Get the guacamole. It's so good. Obviously, if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, don't, but getting this appetizer will bring your experience up a notch. If you are a drinker and love a mixed cocktail, the Nuestro and the Watermelon margaritas is your friend. The Nuestro is like chocolate milk, so creamy and smooth. Its dangerous because you can't taste the booze. Definitely a great way to enjoy childhood while getting smashed. The margarita is a great choice since it's not too sweet. I love that I'm not being pelted with sugar and sour flavors. Its very refreshing. Food was good. I'm not going to lie, tacos were hit or miss, but you get a lot of protein per taco. I got full off of two, I tend to eat half my plate so take that as you will. When in doubt, go for the Carne asada, so good. We ordered an entree as well. I forgot the name, but it was this creamy, savory seafood dish. It was filled with succulent scallops, shrimp and tender pieces of fish. We loved it, especially paired with the beans and rice. We wished we had the option of having a spicy version. It was good as is, but making it spicy would have been awesome! By the way, that particular dish made for some AMAZING leftovers. I was having a good time the next day. Overall, if I ever have a hankering for that guacamole and want to drink, this place is it.

    Ok so I have to be honest there is no doubt this place looks nice and fancy inside but in my opinion the food is average and way over priced. I don't mind paying for a good meal but it should be worth the price tag and this place is not. The service needs to be a bit better as well, there's plenty of staff to bad they are just standing around chopping it up rather than taking customers orders in a timely manner. Probably won't be coming back here unless it's for a drink. Just a side note not sure if their A/C's working or not but it's a 100 degree outside please turn it on or get it fixed!

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.

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.

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!

We had a hard time finding it at first, but it's located in the parking lot of South Union Mini Mart. There's a lot of different taco trucks on Union, so make sure you don't pass this one up. Parking isn't really an issue, so don't worry about that. Staff is really nice. The first time we visited the young lady that took our order was very friendly and interactive. She had a nice warm personality so you feel welcomed when you visit. The owner, I didn't catch his name but he's literally cooking the food in the back. He's super friendly and also made us feel welcomed. Even though they are wayyyy out there on Union, they are the reason why people want to come back. Yes, food can be good at places, but if you have a good heart and personality then people can tell you're genuine. The first time we visited we were overwhelmed because we wanted to try EVERYTHING, I don't know what's my favorite item yet, but I'll let you guys know when I find out. Don't sleep on Taqueria El Jalisciense! I'm not a big fan of chicken tacos and I even loved those and I would get it again. Everything is so flavorful and you can tell he really thought about his menu. What I love is that he uses quality meats. Don't believe me? Definitely check out his instagram @jalisciense_torres don't blame me if you get hungry checking out his page haha. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. If you're around the area and don't mind driving out to Union then this is the place. Give them a chance. P.S. they only take cash or Zelle so be prepared and they open in the evenings at 4pm-10pm. You better go before people start hearing about this place and the lines get too long. :-)
