Tacos were good and I really enjoyed the toppings bar filled with salsas and condiments. Avocado salsa was delicious. Burrito and carne asada fries were underwhelming and barely had any meat. Service was very fast but there were a few mistakes with the order and food did not all come out on time, but even then the team was quick. It's a nice place in downtown Bakersfield but there wasn't something special that would bring me back. 6.8/10 read more

The restaurant is very clean. Friendly staff, and the food is delicious. I ordered the fish tacos, and they are made with homemade tortillas. That was the best part. I will definitely come back. ​ read more

Downtown just got a great new addition! This spot offers quick counter service, handmade tortillas, a self-serve salsa bar, and a solid selection of Mexican comfort food. I tried the carne asada and al pastor tacos, and both meats were flavorful with a nice amount of char. The handmade tortillas were definitely a highlight, they made the tacos feel fresh and authentic. We also ordered the carne asada fries, which came piled high with meat, cheese, pico de gallo, and guacamole. The fries themselves were crispy enough to hold up under all those toppings, which I appreciated. I also noticed they have a bar with a good beer selection. I didn't have anything to drink on this visit, but it's definitely something I'll be trying next time. Overall, the food was good, service was quick, and the combination of handmade tortillas, salsa bar, and beer selection makes this a place I'll happily come back to. Definitely worth checking out if you're downtown and craving tacos! read more

First Time at Tacos Mi Pa. LETS GOOOOO!! They had a nice vibe inside with music, and the interior, the bar, decorations were pretty cool. THE GRUB: I ordered a shrimp burrito,pretty large, but they didn't have many shrimp inside--four shrimp in a whole burrito. Someone in another review said they ran out of shrimp at 3 p.m. on a Saturday, but it was Thursday, so I thought I was safe. GUESS NOT. Putting four shrimp, though tasty, in a $12 burrito is just crazy. Maybe they ran out again. I would have liked for them to tell me that, but I asked the waitress before I ordered, and she said there was a pretty good amount of shrimp in their burritos. I also asked a fellow patron, who said, "I had a really good one here and a really bad one here that I had to send back." Also, there was something crunchy in the burrito. I thought it was tmaybe ortilla chips--nope, it was the rice. Why was the rice crunchy? Did they run out and give me the last of the last for some reason at 6 p.m. on a Thursday? The tortilla was good--not homemade good, but good. The sauce for the shrimp in the burrito was really good, though I wish they would have given me something more to season the raw cabbage inside, which was dry and flavorless.Salsa does not help raw cabbage. No sauce, just dry. 1/5 stars The salsa bar was okay. They definitely need a few more spoons for the toppings because everything was getting mixed together. The spicy salsa and the green sauce were very good as well, but they need to contain the sauces in their containers because everything was spilling over into the next container. Maybe they should rethink this salsa bar idea. It was just not good, though, I gave the other half of it to a college student,(College students love free food just ask em) .. She took a bite and left it there.. Same exact conclusion, not worth eating. I will give it one more try soon. But if it like thisvnext time I probably won't be back for a while. This place is really new, and though hey have a lot of potential, but in my personal opinion, Tacos Mi Pa also has a lot of kinks they need to address before opening this storefront.. It definitely still has taco cart/pop-up tent vibes. Service was friendly and quick. I got my burrito almost too quick, if that's a thing. Maybe that's why the quality lacked a bit. Anyway, I'll be back,in a few months, they should be better, but I won't recommend the shrimp burrito to anyone. They also own Aye Mi Pa which unfortunately has the same criticism.. I will however go see for myself.. read more

What a cute place this new addition is to the Bakersfield restaurant scene. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown. With a festive interior & Traditional Mexican music playing in the background you know you're in for some tasty food. They have beer on tap and bottled beer to quench your thirst in the Bakersfield heat! You can play a tune on the juke box or watch a little TV. I ordered a taco de Cameron, an Al Pastor taco and the Elote corn. My meal was so fresh and tasty. The Cameron was succulent & juicy. The Al Pastor had a delicious marinade and was tender & moist. The crunch of the sweet crisp Elote corn had a generous sprinkling of the cheese & spice mixture. They have a great salsa bar too. The staff were so friendly. My meal was fresh, delicious, well prepared and came out quickly. Definitely worth trying read more

I was hanging downtown with some friends late at night when we decided to grab some food from Tacos Mi Pa. The place was nice and cool inside. Definitely a reprieve from the sun we had been standing out in. We were helped right as we walked in the doors. Because I've had their tacos before, I knew that their asada was good. So I decided to get their carne asada fries and wow! It truly hit the spot. It was a good size portion for me. Large enough that I ended up taking half of it home. And when you go, you can't forget to get a side of the cilantro sauce from the salsa bar. I was dunking my fries in this sauce. They were so nice that they gave me a big cup with a lid, so that I could take some to-go. Really awesome spot and they're open til late! Hit it up with your homies! read more

I really want to see Tacos Mi Pa succeed, but there's a lot of room for improvement. When I arrived the restaurant was very clean, and not too busy. There were probably 2-3 other guests dining in. I wasn't greeted when I walked in, but after browsing the menu for a while I was assured that someone would be with me shortly. I don't really drink soda, so I asked for water. I was told that there's water at the fountain, but just the other night that I visited there was only carbonated water at the fountain. It was kind of awkward having to explain that as the customer. The staff could get more familiar with their restaurant. I ordered the asada fries and they came out quickly. Maybe a little too quickly because they forgot to add the carne asada! I kinda thought that I was going crazy, so I brought it back to the counter to have them take a look. They apologized for the mistake and fixed it for me. It was something that we laughed about, but I really hope this doesn't happen again. The good part: The carne asada fries are DELICIOUS. Once they corrected my order, I got to taste the best carne asada fries that I've ever had. The meat was tender, flavorful, and lean. The fries had a crispy texture and the toppings were perfect. I'm looking forward to a better visit next time. Tacos Mi Pa has a lot of potential. read more

I was luckily one of the first people to try their tacos before they even opened. I been coming ever since. I believe they do have the best tacos in town. It's the masa they use for their tortillas for sure since they hand make it. It's so good and their tacos are pretty big compared to others. They also do have a little table with all sauces and toppings so you can build it your own way which I love. The elote, churros, and burritos are delicious as well. No complaints with the food. The service is always great. The blonde braided girl is the sweetest, just know if you see her she'll take care of you. She's the best there. Great business. read more

I came here for the yelp event they had. I had no complaints ! The establishment was clean. The stainless steal tables make it feel extra sterile which is important to someone who is a little bit of a germ-a-phobe like me. The women's restroom had good trash can location so you don't have to touch the door handle. The food was good ! The carne asada had a generous amount of meat. The salsa was good. Elote was pretty good. Very seasoned but not too much sauces which I liked because it wasn't messy to eat. And the Churro was excellent . Not too dense , perfect amount of sweetness. read more

Stopped in after work, I was hungry and craving carne asada fries. I ordered them and a beer. The menu has a good selection and is nice and big to ready and order. I went to sit down and my shoes were getting stuck to the ground as there was something spilled, the girl acknowledged something spilled and was quick to mop it up. My asada fries came out, my first thoughts were this does not look consistent with the asada fries they advertise on there social media, plus looking at other post, the quantity does not match. The salsa bar was out of a lot of sauces, I didn't feel like scrapping the bottom so I just left it. The asada fries would be much better if they had the crinkle fries, i definitely could taste the frozenness of the fries. The meat had some seasoning but felt disappointed with the dryness. The drink I got was some type of pineapple Aqua Fresca, it was not drinkable. I really want to give this place a two thumbs up but I just can't. The prices are on the higher end. I've been to many places that serve homemade tortilla tacos at a much cheaper price. read more

Tacos Mi Pa - Tacos Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The restaurant is nicely decorated and very clean. Now the food, I ordered an asada , pastor and fish taco. The pastor was very fatty and didn't have good flavor. The tortilla was falling apart which is consistent with fresh made tortillas. Wasn't impressed The asada was nice and Smokey and had good flavor. The guacamole was a nice touch. Final was the fish taco, it had the smallest portion of fish I've ever seen on a taco, it was covered with the cabbage and difficult to find. The chipotle sauce was good, tortilla was falling apart. The salsa bar was good and had various sauces and accoutrements. Ultimately I wasn't impressed by the flavors of the meats other than the asada. My boss couldn't finish the pastor cause it was too fatty. This is not a spit pastor, it's grilled on a flat top, there was no char to the meat which is consistent being cooked on the spit. The service was good but the food is less than par. I would like to see this place succeed but need to step up the food. read more

If you're from Bakersfield, do you know that the area that the restaurant is in it probably not the most flourished area downtown is definitely starting to revitalize themselves when we went. There was a lot of construction so of course parking was an issue, but we were able to find something and get over to a restaurant, we couldn't see the restaurant from the street because the signage is pretty small, but it was next to a couple of the areas we've been to before if you're going into the restaurant, you could probably notice that it's very minimal. The seating is very minimal very white. I wish the decor was a little bit more festive, but you can tell that this place is pretty much a really good place to go drink some beer and have some tacos I went with my kids they enjoyed it, but I definitely would not come at night with them. The menu is quite simple average price. I have the elite Yelp sample player, which had Elote one taco and a mini churro everything was great. I definitely think that Truro should have multiple options and have some filling with it. There's enough space in the churros to have filling with it. The Carne Asada taco was great stuffing and filled this quite remarkable corn was a little bit under Doane for me, but it was still very tasty. The best part where my kids they had the chicken quesadilla I was a little worried that I might be spicy for them, but it turned out to be actually really good and they gobbled it up. My partner had a California burrito, which was pretty huge good portion size and was stuffed really good. They had an excellent salsa bar and I would definitely agree that the avocado salsa is really good. I would've just loved to have a bowl of that with my chips and salsa the salsa, but they had with the chips and salsa was not my favorite. It was a little spicier and didn't have the flavoring that I like and salsa but the green avocado salsa definitely made up for it. They had cucumber slices, which was amazing to have with the tacos. Overall, it was really good experience. The weight staff was really nice. They were very attentive would definitely go back with some friends for lunch and if there is a big large open patio, I would definitely say if you need a group outing this would be a place to go. read more

Churros are a must!!! Let's start with that. opted to try some of the tacos. Tortillas are handmade and are the perfect accompaniment to the tacos. The asada meat had a lot of flavor and the char that was in it just enhanced it even more. The chicken on the other hand, although it was very tender and juicy, it didn't have the same burst of flavor. It was pretty bland. Each taco was served with a heap of meat in it. For the price, it seemed fair. Although they come with a good size spoonful of guacamole on top, you can request it to be withheld. There's a nice selection of options to choose from at the salsa bar. I liked that the onions and cilantro are separated because now I can control how much cilantro I want on my tacos. We tried the elotes and they too were just as delicious. The churro stole the show tho. I could have just had a dozen of those for lunch and I'd have been sweetly satisfied. The young girl at the counter was really friendly. The business is family operated and although she is not family you could tell she liked her job. Business was steady for a Sunday, but when she wasn't ringing up orders she took the time to chat with us about the future of the restaurant and everything the owner has in mind to add onto it. She appeared to be excited. Can't wait to see what he does. The one set back I had was a smell that hit me when we walked in. Wasn't the smell of food cooking or as though someone had been cleaning, but it wasn't pleasant. It lingered while we ate and I got past it, but it was not something I expected upon entering. It's not something that will stop me from returning, so we'll see if it was just this one time. read more

Went there for the first time on 8/19, only ordered 2 asada tacos. Took them about 49 minutes for me to get my order. They served the people that got there after me and when I asked them about my order, they told me they forgot about it! They didn't even apologize and when they took the food out to my table, not one apology and she seemed upset with me that they forgot my order! They are the absolute worst! They have no customer service!!! Will never return to this place! I should've listened about the complaints about their service, they're the worst!!! Do not recommend! read more

I had the privilege to try this out tonight at the yelp block party event. I was so pleased with the meat flavor.

Opening night was so exciting. Small crowd but all the more intimate and personal. Although upon arriving there, due to high demand there were not a lot of tables. The owner was very hospitable and prioritized getting more tables and chairs right away for us to dine. The tacos were nicely seasoned and I was pleased to see that I didn't have to ask for guacamole because it was already provided. If you're looking for a dine in meal or a quick bite, be sure to put this place on your bucketlist. read more

Tacos Mi Pa - Taco Al Pastor (Trompo) Taco De Pollo Asado Taco De Asada - Tacos Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The food at Tacos Mi Pa was great, but what really stood out to me was the service we received from Violet. She was absolutely outstanding! She was kind, attentive, and did her best to take care of everyone despite how incredibly busy the restaurant was. I honestly felt bad for her because it appeared she was the only person taking orders and handling everything customer-related on a very busy Saturday night. She handled the pressure with such professionalism and a great attitude, and she deserves recognition for that. At the same time, it was frustrating to see one employee left to manage so much on her own during such a busy night. I really hope management/ownership recognizes how hard Violet was working and considers providing additional support during peak hours. The food was great, but Violet truly made our experience memorable. She deserves a huge shoutout! read more

Really clean inside. Decent menu. They had a nice vibe inside with music and the interior was pretty cool. I ordered 2 asada tacos and a shrimp tacos but they didn't have shrimp for some reason at 3:00 on a Saturday? So I hustled got 3asada tacos and a few Pacifico bottles. The beers were ice cold just they way I like em! Prices for the beers were decent I think $5.25 each! Tacos a little on the pricey side at $4.25 each. They were pretty good though and came in freshly made tortillas! Salsa bar was ok- definitely need a few more tings and spoons for the toppings, as everything was getting mixed together, it was kinda gross! But it was still good though and I'd go back again! Service was friendly as well!! read more

Tacos Mi Pa - Tacos Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Tacos Mi Pa is one of the best new taco spots in Bakersfield. From the first visit, I could tell they put a lot of pride into everything they do. The tacos are packed with flavor, the meats are cooked perfectly, and the ingredients are always fresh. The salsas are delicious and really bring everything together. The restaurant is clean, has a great atmosphere, and the staff is friendly and welcoming every time we stop by. The owners truly care about their customers and make everyone feel appreciated. It's great to see a local business serving such high-quality food while creating a fun place for the community to enjoy. I highly recommend Tacos Mi Pa, and I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu. read more

I left the restaurant about 2hrs ago and the food was great but the place was very, so my order was late!! although I did notice there was only 1 person in the restaurant who was helping with my order, she was really nice and extremely patient with my order, why would a restaurant only have 1 worker on a busy night is beyond me but she was so kind and even had time to ask me if I needed anything else and check up on me given the circumstances I believe her name was violet. If I ever go back I Will only request her cause she handled things like a boss!! read more

I really wanted to like this place. The smell from the bathrooms were overwhelming disgusting. At first we thought it was a sewer smell but no. The bathroom had toilet paper all around the toilets. You can tell they did not clean after last night and just rolled in right before opening. The cook was mad that we placed an order right at 11:00am when they opened. The cook wasn't cooking back there so it seems like in the morning they just heat things up from the day before. I had the Al Pastor taco and it was super greasy and didn't have a lot of taste. I also got the chips and salsa. This tortilla chips were stale. The carne asada taco no flavor and the meat was burnt like it was reheated. The churro was stale and crunchy. My family got several items, and nothing we got was good. To say the least, I was very disappointed in this visit. I will not be returning to this establishment. If I could give zero stars I would have. read more

The service was horrible and the worst they didn't even let me use the restroom there I wouldn't even recommend coming here I rather go to La Costa if anything and the cashier the worst disrespectful. read more

Worst experience, I'm disgusted. Every table was so dirty. A few minutes after placing our order, the cashier serves us an order and we quickly realize that it's not ours, so we had her take it back. THEN, she brings me one plate, with one taco on it. Cold. Then I realize that besides the Asada taco thats on the plate, there are scattered pieces of chicken, salt, and a quarter of another tortilla with a bite mark and salsa on it. IT WAS SOMEBODY'S TRASH. So I took it up to the front and told her how unacceptable this was. All she could do was offer me a free item. I don't even understand how that happened. We finally get our correct meal and as we are eating, we notice that another family in the restaurant is having an issue with their order. Turns out, they had GLASS in their meat and ended up being refunded for their order. And on top of everything else, the meat is overcooked and chewy. read more
