    Tacos. Again! Can't go wrong with tacos!
    Maria N.

    I am so excited that we now have a food truck in town and a great one at that!! I wanted to try multiple items before writing a full review so of course that meant I had to make multiple trips! I do this for you, really. ;) I frequented them when they were located behind the hospital and tried a lot of things, aiming for something new every time. I had tacos, burgers, fries, breakfast burritos, and now, Arepas. Honestly, I have liked every single thing I've tried. They have great specials too, always for under ten dollars and with plenty of food and a drink too! I have had no complaints on the food or the service. The owner is super friendly and always chats it up, between taking orders. Friendly people working this place. I prefer giving my money to someone living their dream than to a corporate machine!! :) Their new location is still downtown but across from the Padre Hotel and I hope they stay because there is still so much more to try! They have a vast menu, spicy salsa, a wide variety of drinks, and you can even call ahead to order. What more can you ask for! This place hits it out of the park for me!

    Difficult for me to make it to downtown during this food truck's operating hours. Have only tried their food one time. I probably did not order one of the best items off their menu. That's what happens when I do not read Yelp reviews beforehand so I know what to order!! Cheeseburger is what I bought cause I was craving one at the time. It wasn't bad, but nothing special either. In N' Out is better. (3 stars) Garlic fries was my choice for the side. Now those were some yummy fries!! I have no problem recommending those flavorful fries! (4 stars) Whenever I have another chance to catch them, I will try some of their other items recommended by my Yelper friends. Til then, I am giving Curbside Kitchen 3.5 stars!

    I've been dying to try this place. I was really looking forward to trying the breakfast burrito but I couldn't say no to the special of the day. Today's special was the Chilango curbside sandwich. I love the idea of it and it was executed perfectly. The service was fast and all of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The Chilango Curbside Sandwich: Queso tamale torta (I got the pork tamale), bacon, mayo, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cilantro, and Curbside salsa. It comes with avocado & guacamole, but I requested it without. I love the way the bolillo was toasted. The tamale had such a great texture and flavor. It was perfect. I love food trucks and this food truck adds so much more to Bakersfield. I almost felt like I was in big city for a moment.

    They changed the bread in the torta. It was hard.

    My co-worker and I seem to go here at least once a week! I do not check in every single time I go, but I should! It is near my work so it is a convenient drive, but the food being really delicious is the primary reason of why we keep coming back. The food truck is located across the street from the Padre on the corner of H St. and 18th St. It is on the parking lot of an old mini mart that just recently shut down. If there is no parking on the little lot, there is a parking structure right next to it and there is no charge to park there. If you are in a hurry, you could call in your order and they will have it ready when you get there. I have tried the burgers, fries (regular, garlic, and chili cheese), tortas, tacos, sopes, and huaraches. They are all very good and the presentation is amazing. I eat with my eyes first before I devour my food. It takes a lot of strength for me to take a picture of it first to post and show you guys what my food looks like. If you are in the area, it is a must try! I am never disappointed with their food items.

    I am extremely disappointed in Curbside Kitchen.  They keep getting worse and worse.  This is how all my tacos looked from here.

    Never again will I be returning here. Their customer service is going down. I got 3 tacos and they were so chinsy. There was hardly any meat on them and they were cold. I posted a pic in the photos, at least until they delete it. Back to the real taco trucks I go.

    I have been following these guys on instagram for a few months and finally got the chance to swing by for lunch. The special was arepas, but by the time we got there those were gone so I settled for a Carne asada sope and order of garlic fries. The sope had great flavor with salsa that had some heat. Can't wait to try the tacos next time. Sope's are $3. The Garlic fries were an additional $3 and could have easily been shared with by at least 2 people. They were very crisp and a little too salty for me and I would have liked a little more garlic on them. But, Oh how I do love a good french fry and my motto is "leave no fry behind" but I tried with all my might and left a few behind.

    Juliette....Double burger with pastrami.
    Peter P.

    Two of my co-workers invited me to lunch but since they know how much I Yelp they asked if there were any places I would like to try out. Since I've seen many Yelpers check out The Curbside Kitchen I figured lets check it out. When we first arrived there was no one else in line but after ordering the Mercy Hospital employees started filtering over. I take a glance at their menu and I automatically see the Jjuliette which is a double burger with pastrami. There are other places I've been to in Bakersfield and Delano and I absolutely love the Pastrami Burgers so I had to try theirs. I'm a fool for Chili Cheese Fries as well so I ordered those. Juliette Burger - 2.75 Stars to be exact. You hear double burger and expectations should be where the patties are a good size and juicy but this was neither to be honest. It tasted like they didn't season the patties and the patties reminded me of McDonalds. The pastrami was good but not great, the spices in it just did not burst in my mouth like I expect from pastrami. Besides those negatives, what could have probably brought this burger up was if they didn't use just a regular bun. Again, the bun reminded me of McDonalds, I would like to see if maybe they used another type or even toast the bun. Chili Cheese Fries - 3 Stars would suffice and it is the combination of the chili with the cheese and it was well balanced there but next time I will request for onions on top. The fries itself was good but I would have loved it if they were bigger sized fries like from Tommy's, but none the less I would order again. My co-workers ordered the San Diego Chicken Sandwich and regular fries and the special which I can't remember the name but I posted the picture. The San Diego sandwich was good by what he said, hopefully he writes a review of some sort since he has a Yelp account, I'm talking to you John C!!! The one who ordered the special absolutely loved his, it was a greek sandwich with falafels from what he explained with a nice spice mixture that presented some nice heat. The bread they used was toasted and was lathered with a garlic butter spread, he said 4 stars! Hopefully he writes a review as well, Brandon R! I've looked at other pictures for The Curbside Kitchen and next time I will be trying their tacos, so yes I will return soon. And people are raving about their breakfast burritos and would like to try that out too. This 3 stars review is only for the time being and I plan to return in the future to try other things and possibly the same I had today to see if anything gets better.

    Our first time! Great food!

    I had a custom vegetarian burrito with cheese, hash browns, grilled tofu, egg, and salsa verde #drool ..maybe the best breakfast burrito I've ever had! --and I'm Mexican

    Bacon cheeseburger and garlic fries in the background. Delicious fresh taste!
    Monica M.

    Excellent food! I kept seeing this truck on my way home and finally remembered today for lunch to check it out. Delicious, I was craving a burger and this place has it all. I ordered an horchata with my bacon cheeseburger ! They have tacos snadwhiches and even waffles! Check this place out when you can it is delicious!

    2 Asada Tacos & 1 Tamale de Pollo
    Justinne E.

    Saw this place on Instagram and decided to check it out. The meat was very clean, no chunks of fat in the asada like many places. Locally owned, amazing flavors, freshly made, fair prices, and the owner was super nice. Definitely worth the trip downtown.

    We were on our way to SoCal and wanted to try out a new restaurant on our way down from the Bay…read moreArea. Originally, we had planned on dining at Harris Ranch but after checking out their menu, I was not impressed by the choices as we would be limited to order from their breakfast menu at the time of arriving at the restaurant, and it was not an impressive selection. We quickly pivoted and came across Willow Ranch and were very excited to try so many of their dishes. We walked into the coziest little restaurant that just gives you that small town feel. Real homey and we were instantly greeted warmly by the gal at the front. She asked if we wanted to sit at the corner booth, which we gladly accepted. She took our drink order, gave us menus and let us know our server would be over shortly. Our server Destiny came over a little while later, but my son was still undecided since there was so much deliciousness to choose from, he couldn't make up his mind (it was difficult for all of us, TBH!); Destiny had to give us more time, and come back a little later. He finally settled on the Tri-tip dinner, and oh my goodness... what a fine choice he made! It was sooo tender, and melted in your mouth as soon as it hit your tongue! Wow! I don't know if I've ever had tri-tip that tender before! It was served with a fresh side salad with Italian dressing, steamed veggies, a buttered roll, and baked beans. Any time I see anything close to resembling a French Dip, I have to try it. I had the Willow Dip, which was delicious! Hot and savory served on a toasted onion bun, and a yummy au jus to dip! A close cousin to the French Dip. I substituted my side for onion rings and they had a great crunch too. My other son had the sampler platter that included chicken strips, buffalo wings, onion rings and mozzerrella sticks but asked his chicken strips be subbed for all buffalo wings, and Destiny was so sweet and accomodating. My daughter ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with french fries and they were both to kill for!Sooo so good!! Literally like a slice of heaven that Philly Cheesesteak! It may have been my favorite of all the food we had today! My husband ordered the Plow Boy and it was loaded with meat and really tasty! We were so stuffed, we could not finish it all! We are definitely coming back here on our way back home, we still have so much more to try... the Ranch Benedict, the Chicken Fried Steak, the Ribeye steak! The staff is amazing! Hats off to your chefs! This restaurant is stellar! Will be making this a must visit on our annual SoCal trips!

    So I am not exaggerating when I tell you that the trip-tip sandwich is fantastic! The meat is…read moretender and well-seasoned, quite lean but still unctuous. One gets a generous portion and the sandwich was big enough for my husband and I to share with a side of tasty sweet potatoe fries (a bit extra - or you can get plain potato fries for no extra charge). We also got a side of the creamy coleslaw which is ok and even better if you add salt and a dash of malt vinegar (it needs acid imo). I didn't take a photo of the sandwich because so many other yelpers have already done so. But trust me it's worth the stop. Service is super warm and friendly, the place is spotlessly clean, and I am a fan. We liked the sandwich so much we ordered another to go for lunch the next day. I only wish I had room for pie! They offer a wide selection of pies and I've gotta think they are yummy too. Next time.

The atmosphere felt warm, lively, and welcoming in a way that made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. The food there tasted genuinely good to me, and every dish had the kind of flavor that makes you slow down and appreciate what you're eating instead of rushing through it. I liked how comfortable everything felt, and I appreciated that I could enjoy my time without feeling pressured or hurried. I noticed a lot of teenagers at this location, which made sense because the place has a fun, friendly vibe that younger people would enjoy a lot. Seeing them there made me realize how much teenagers would love spending time at The Perch, especially since it gives them a spot where they can eat good food, talk, laugh, and feel like they belong. Even though this restaurant was new to me, I didn't realize how much there was to enjoy until I walked around and settled in. I've only visited The Perch one time in my life before writing this review, but that one visit was enough for me to understand why people speak so positively about it. It's one of the most comfortable and enjoyable restaurants I've been to in a while, and I would highly recommend that teenagers go there because it gives them a place to enjoy good food, spend time with friends, and feel part of a lively environment. If you're in Frazier Park and want a spot that feels inviting and fun, The Perch is definitely worth checking out.
