We love this place. I highly recommend their chicken sopes. They are huge and really good. The horchata was super good as well. Their large horchata drink is massive and definitely worth it. One of the few places that still provides free chips and salsa, which we really appreciate. Overall a great spot that we enjoy coming back to. read more

Taqueria Los Altos - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Well it's been a while since I've eaten here. I don't live close anymore. They have spruced up the place since my last visit. The interior has been painted a vibrant happy yellow with colorful hanging paper decorations. Upbeat Mexican music plays in the background. There is a generous outdoor seating area as well. You seat yourself in this little Taqueria. Chips & salsa are served as the menu is presented. My server was prompt & friendly. I ordered the Carnitas street tacos. Whoever prepares their Carnitas meat does an excellent job. The pork is moist & tender with a rich flavor. The sauté finish leaves the meat crispy around the edges. The tacos are soft and scrumptious. The prices are very reasonable. Check them out if you are in the read more

Taqueria Los Altos - Eating area - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Had high hopes for this place. We came in Sunday morning for take out. Ordered 2 breakfast burritos to go. Holy moly!! We both got giant burritos that were 90% refried beans!!! Very disappointed! On top of that we waited about 20 minutes for them too! What takes 20 minutes to throw 10 pounds of beans in a tortilla. Salsa was mid, service was mid, interior was ugjy, location is bad! Just no reason to ever go back! I really hate to slam a local mom and pop but there really was nothing worth returning and I gotta give people a heads up! We were both so disappointed! read more

Caldo de res. EXCELLENT. Almost double the portion size as competitor down the road. Service friendly. This was a To-Go order, although I didn't dine in, the dining area appeared clean and kept. I've known of this place for decades. It's "seasoned" and not fancy but it's clean, filled with music, a good atmosphere and the food is delicious. Give it a try! (If they offered online ordering, I'd be their huckleberry!) read more

Man...I don't know where to start. Just went here 1/11/26 and It was terrible. I love my Spanish speaking folks but also I think they should hire employees that also speaks good English. I know that sounds bad but it's hard to order food when the server doesn't really speak good English. We had a group of maybe 8 people and they brought out chips and salsa. The salsa was good but the chips were cold and hard. When asked for fresh chips the server had an attitude. One person ordered nachos and she said it was like the same chips were used. Came with everything on it but seemed like it was then warmed up because even when it was brought the chips were soggy. I ordered a combo #3 which was two taco's beans and rice. The meat was NOT hot AT ALL and dry/hard like it was either over cooked or had been sitting. My tortillas weren't warm and my rice and beans were just warm...closer to cold. I'm not one to complain and I was hungry after a long wait so I made the best of it. I honestly wouldn't go here again and it USED to be so good. I wouldn't go again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. They need to shut down and revamp the menu, food, cooks, servers...EVERYTHING. then try again read more

service was terrible and employee had attitude wouldn't come back again Manager should check more on their employees on their act of service towards customers read more

Taqueria Los Altos - view from tables waiting for delicious food to be served. - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I love this little place. It's a local hole in the wall that serves up big food. I've lived here for more than 15 years and I have been committing here ever since my cousin first brought me here. Come in, sit down and someone will be with you shortly. Chips and salsa are free, yes free! I know that's almost unheard of from a restaurant anymore. The salsa is always fresh and not very hot, it's a comfortable heat level to enjoy eating it. They don't skimp on the serving and you won't be overpriced for your food. The staff could be a little more friendlier but it's not a big deal because they are courteous. The only thing people might not be thrilled with is that their restroom is outside around the building but again so are some other places. read more

Food is so delicious, only down fall is ordering for takeout. I ordered pozole and the lady did me dirty. Once i got home to eat there was barely any food in the large cup i ordered do better. She literally scammed me i was so upset. read more

I googled for great tacos near me and ended up here. I checked their window and saw they had an "A", so figured we'd give it a try. The food was good and piping hot, but the burrito was a bit small when size matters. In the end, we left with full bellies because we had chips and salsa to sample along the way! My search continues for that perfect shrimp taco that has the shredded lettuce and cream sauce that gives it that special taste. Here, they used shredded mozzarella cheese which was a bit overbearing to the overall taste of the taco. I enjoyed when they put an authentic Mexican song on the jukebox, and appreciated that they didn't complain when I asked for extra salsa since there wasn't a salsa bar to help myself. Overall, this place got a 5 because of the fast, friendly service, and overall price! read more

Good food, came here for lunch. Good service. I got the taco and slow combo. Meat was juicy and taste good

They are cheap, cheap, cheap. Did I mention that they are cheap? They are so cheap, they even charge their regular customers for a cup of ice for a canned soda drink! Unbelievably CHEAP! Can't even tip any of these cheap girls in exchange for an ounce of generosity. read more

This used to be my menudo spot , not anymore lately it's gone down hill last couple times I've had the menudo it's tastes like it's been reheated multiple times , the tripe is mushy and over cooked. On this particular day I ordered a Torta as well for the wifey,when she unwrapped it I know it was gonna be gross. They had used what looked like pre mixed bagged lettuce it had carrots and purple cabbage in it , like WTF ? I ordered Al pastor and whatever they gave me was the completed opposite. It looked like leftover scraps of carnitas and mystery meat , and the bread dry as cardboard so dry it damn near crumbled. I get it , small business are struggling but put some love and passion into the food at least show that you care , I think I haven't been so disappointed or upset in the quality and carelessness of the food a restaurant puts out in long time , like this meal really pissed me off.Long story short if your restaurant is hurting that bad and the the quality of food has become disgusting and you're resorting to using a salad mix in your Tortas,just shut it down. ***People Do yourself a favor save your money and go elsewhere !! read more

Prices skyrocketed in past few month. Why would a bean and cheese burrito have any reason to cost $8.00. Bye bye no matter how good. My friend paid 8 or 9 for a Carne esada burrito and he said it was dried out tasting. They aren't that good to be chging the prices such as 8 for a bean and cheese burrito. read more

If I could give a 0 star rating I would! We ordered from here through DoorDash and my wife found a piece of metal inside as she was biting into it hurting her tooth!!

Taqueria Los Altos - Chili verde - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Worst Mexican food I've had in California. We ordered Wet Burrito with chicken, quesadilla with al pastor, carne asada taco and nacho fries all to go. Service took a while but they were busy so understandable. I watched the cook put each item in styrofoam to go trays before putting them in the microwave to warm or melt cheese. When receiving the food the to go containers were partially melted from being microwaved. The food was overly salty and didn't have any flavor. The fries and quesadilla were soggy, and the meat tasted rubbery like it had been sitting for a while. The chicken tasted like rotisserie from Costco. I also got some De La Rosa candies, but they tasted sour like they went bad wtf? Would not eat here again. read more

Taqueria Los Altos - Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I'm not afraid to be bold and say Taqueria Los Altos serves up Bakersfields best Mexican style asada tacos. I'm one of those who gets super squimish when it comes to grissle, so I usually avoid real mexican style tacos, but I was turned on to this place by my man who's been coming for years. Love at first bite. Los Altos' tacos and I have had a long going affair since. We moved out of the area and still make an effort to drive across town to indulge in the authenticity and deliciousness. Carne Asada is always cooked to perfection & is clearly good quality meat since Ive yet to encounter my arch nemesis, the grissle chunk. The salsa that accompanies the chips always tastes fresh, and the salsa used on the tacos- which is different- has just the right about of heat. They truly have their proportions of spice and taste down to an art. The tortas are amazing... the carnitas is authentic and full of flavor.. every thing I've tried, I've almost died of pure happiness over. If you go out to Mexican food at those generic places, you are getting a sad, watered down, americanized, generic, version of the real thing that is served up reguarly at Los Altos. Don't let the appearance of the place fool you - it's the real deal. read more

quise una torta con extra queso y aguacate y pedí de favor que me derritieran el queso, nada les costaba poner el queso en la plancha y dejarlo derretir unos segundos y la cajera me dijo que no se podía yo eh trabajado en restaurantes siempre y eso es lo más fácil, yo como cajero lo que quiero es vender y darle un buen servicio al cliente, solía ser cliente y siempre como lo mismo por que en realidad creo que su servicio de está chic al cliente es muy malo, no pedía las cosas gratis, yo estaba dispuesto a pagar si así me lo pedía y no me quiso vender la chica la torta a mi gusto, perdieron un cliente que de minimo va 3 veces por semana. read more

Tonight I was craving Cheese Enchilladas and stopped in for their combination plate. At $10 plus tax you would think you were at El Adobe or Los. Molcajetes. But this is a dive restaruant that has priced their plates with higher competitors that have higher rents and mortgages and locations that require a pricer menu. Totally gouging the customer by being a divey property, divey interior, and less than stellar customer service. That was just talking about the overall impression about the cost and building. On to my meal... When my meal arrived the enchiladas were small but looked delicious. I took a bite and didn't realize I was chewing on a piece of plastic because the cheese was so thick. However the plastic wasn't breaking down like food, but breaking into pieces inside my mouth and cracked my tooth where I had a filling. I told thief employee who was unapologetic about it, and told me it was just a piece of the plastic from the sour cream squeezer. (Huh, it's just what?) I'm not asking what it is. I clearly see what it is, and I'm sure I know how it got there! but why are you saying it's just???and do you realize I have a cracked tooth. She offered two options I eat the meal...didn't even offer to replace it, not that that mattered I wanted to leave! Or she would refund my money. Of course I told her I'm entitled to a refund because this is unacceptable. I also mentioned again, my tooth. She told me that I would have to speak with the manager tomorrow, that was two days ago. I asked her if she was going to write up an incident report for her manager. She gave me a piece of paper and told me write down my name and number and she would have him call me back. I told her, there is no proof that this occurred. She assured me he'd call. Well it's two days later, he hasn't. So I'm going to get my tooth fixed and decided to post this. Am I being ridiculous? Nope! Absolutely terrible experience. Will never return. read more

I had a carne asada burrito that was well seasoned and meat was tender. The hot sauce is mild to medium in heat and not overpowering. The server brought chips and salsa while waiting for my meal. The salsa was fresh with the right amount of spice. Definitely had jalapenos, which add a little kick, heat, and had great flavor. The place is fairly clean for a small hole in the wall taqueria. read more

Ok..I love their food. It would be a 5 star experience but the accompanying photo kicks it down a star. The huge build up of flies should probably be addressed.

What a small little gem in the heart of Chester Ave! We were suppose to head to another taco place, but that placed closed at 5 p.m on a Saturday. So we decided to travel down Chester to see what's available. You'd miss it if you blink. Small parking and small sign, but what matters most is the food. The food was cooked right then and there, so there will be a small wait but its worth it! We tried the sopes, quesadilla, and torta. The torta was great, the quesadilla was put together like Taco Bells Mexican Pizza, but it was packed with meat and cheese. The sopes is what will keep me going back for more. Meat was seasoned well, the lettuce/tomatoes were cut fresh, and and the dough was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Love it! read more

This place was super bad !! Don't dare go !!!!!!!!!!!!! The carnitas where big chunks of meat and they looked like they where a bunch of days old , one of the worst taco experience of my life I almost hate tacos after this not to mention the chicken was flavorless and dry . Save your selfie the money & time and go somewhere else's read more

This place is GOLD finally another Mexican restaurant I can go to that's actually good besides La Villa. I had pazole , a carne sope & a side of rice. The sope was too good! The beans were perfect & the meat tasted great! The pazole was good. B+- The rice was just how I like it with the veggies in it. YUM I can't properly rate the place though Cuz I forgot the dang hot sauce! A restaurant ain't nothin unless it has bomb chili . I will get some next time. read more

We were driving from LV to SF and stopped by Bakersfield for dinner. Searched on Yelp and this came back as a solid 4- star review. My goodness. Really?! One of my worst Mexican meals ever. The burritos were dry like no tomorrow; the tacos I ate were bland and tasteless. Not sure if they ran out or what, but they are missing cilantro in their salsa, which is a key ingredient. No guacamole on their tacos or burritos. Just finding everything we ordered to be "off." The bathroom is the back of the building and resembles an out-house. If you walk through the very dark back alley, you will be greeted by a barking dog on the other side of the fence that will probably make you pee in your pants before you reach the toilet. read more

i frikken love this place! ive been going here for years. some friends and i did a week of different taco places and this place won. their pastor and chorizo tacos are my favorite! their tortillas are warmed up perfect and they dont jip you on the meat. even their burgers and fries are great. other meats ive had that are great are lengua, tripas. the chilie verde tacos are popular and good. if you like sopes they have great ones! giant burritos too! you can come in and sit and have some chips and salsa while you wait or you can take it to go. waitresses are always nice. read more

I made a Ubereats order this morning and I can honestly say it was a huge mistake.
