    Carne asada burrito. The rice, and meat were amazing
    Mara N.

    You need to stop by and try this place. Just stopped here while on a road trip and my god... the regular carne asada was one of the best I've had, very clean, and fresh and the meat was cooked to absolute perfection. We also got the Shrimp Ranchero (wanted shrimp Diabla) but they made it spicy and we were impressed. Salsa bar had authentic Mexican salsas. Definitely 10/10 If you're in the area and you're craving authentic Mexican food come here, you won't regret it!

    Carne Asada taco, Al Pastor taco, with beans and rice. Delicious!!

    This restaurant is fantastic! Nothing fancy, but authentic Mexican food that is so tasty. The service was also great! I definitely recommend trying it out!

    Asada quesadilla

    Been here several times, the gentleman who takes the orders is always super nice, the food is a bit pricy but it's usually worth it, the asada quesadilla is a must have!

    salsa Bar. The salsa on the far left is for chips. And starting from the left side is mild to spicy.

    I found this place on a Bakersfield Facebook page. It did not disappoint. Called in for one breakfast mixed burrito. It was ready in 10 minutes. The staff was nice. restaurant was clean and there is a variety of salsas. The chips were also good. A small bag of chips came with the burrito. It was 14.05 cash. which is a little pricey for my budget at the moment. But if you dont eat a lot you can eat half and save the rest for later.

    Their food is really delicious! I've only had the burritos from here and they are damn good. I really like the chorizo burrito in the mornings. I always add beans. For lunch and dinner, definitely go with the asada burrito. They usually add a small bag of chips with each meal or burrito. Their salsas are very flavorful too.

    Huevos rancheros, came with homemade flour tortillas!

    Hole in the wall off a busy avenue, but worth a stop! Prices were reasonable, portions were generous, and the service and food were great! Got a huevos rancheros breakfast plate, a chilaquiles plate , came with free tortilla chips and a fresh salsa/pickled vegies/chilis bar. Salsas were definitely homemade and spicy! Will be back for tacos! Open only for breakfast and lunch, closes usually at 2 pm.

    They'll gladly bring your order to your vehicle!

    Wanna Know a Secret? Take a ride down Rosedale Highway at about 8:30 A.M., and order a carne asada burrito. They cook a ton of it at about 8:15, and you can get a plate or burrito (get the super-size for best value) for breakfast or even save it for lunch later. Great friendly, Covid 19-safe service. All protocols are strictly followed, so orders are only to go.

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.
