This is the place my family swears by for carne asada, and after trying it myself, I completely…read moreunderstand why. The carne asada here is incredibly flavorful, tender, and perfectly seasoned. It always turns out so delicious on the grill that I find myself wishing I could pack some up and bring it all the way back to Los Angeles with me! My dad absolutely loves grilling whenever we come to visit, and without fail, this is the only market we buy our carne asada from. It's become a family tradition at this point, and every cookout is something we all look forward to. Beyond the amazing meat selection, the market itself is clean, organized, and easy to shop. Everything is neatly stocked, making it simple to find what you need without feeling overwhelmed. The employees are always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help, which makes the experience even better. Whether you're stopping by for their famous carne asada or just picking up groceries, this is a neighborhood market that's definitely worth visiting. It's easy to see why my family has remained loyal customers, and I'll always look forward to coming back every time I'm in Bakersfield.

First off I just want to say having tried a few of these meat markets in LA, this new Bakersfield…read morelocation tasted exactly like all of them down south. I was a bit worried after reading a review about getting meat from here but my wife and I agreed it tasted very similar to all the meat markets down south. For us this is our standard when it comes to buying meat. This place has the Best Carne Asada money can buy. In my family we call it, the Gold meat because it is very pricy but also soo worth it. We get the Asajo cuts because they're so easy to enjoy. They cook up super fast on the grill and they're soo juicy and flavorful with each bite. You cannot go wrong buying the Asajo cuts from this meat market. Come prepared to spend a lot of money but you will not be disappointed. When I'm LA we go to the one in Pico Rivera. I will definitely consider driving from Visalia over here knowing this meat market taste like the one in Pico. The customer service was real good too. Hopefully they can open one up soon in Visalia or even Fresno.

A Sweet Birthday Stop at the Original Dewar's…read more I took a friend to the original Dewar's location downtown to celebrate her birthday, and it was the perfect place for a little old-school Bakersfield treat! She went with a classic root beer float, while I ordered a cherry ice cream soda, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The barista even gave me some extra soda water on the side, just in case I needed a refill of that bubbly goodness, such a thoughtful touch! When we walked in, the store was already packed, but luckily we snagged two barstools at the counter. There was a family celebrating what looked like a milestone or baptism, and honestly, it made the whole atmosphere even better. Happy kids, happy adults, and everyone enjoying a cold, frosty treat. It felt like exactly what a visit to Dewar's should be. There's something special about the original location. It has that nostalgic, hometown charm that makes you want to slow down, grab a sweet treat, and enjoy the moment. Whether you're celebrating a birthday or just craving a classic Bakersfield indulgence, Dewar's is always a fun stop!

They are mostly an organic,…read morenatural type store, so think sorta whole foods, but maybe a little smaller, and possibly a little more expensive since they are not a national chain, but I was still able to find good value in many items. They also have a loyalty program. They do have pretty much everything you might need for a 3 day stay. I personally liked that they had an array of vegan friendly foods (while not vegan, I sometimes do like to do 1-2 days of "clean" eating when I'm traveling). They also have a hot bar and a salad bar along with a deli. I appreciate that they have a wide variety of food, and on the hot bar they do change it up daily. The staff is very friendly and will definitely help point you in the right direction if you can't find something. Its a place I could see visiting over and over when I'm in town.

Where do I start?…read more The buffet is an absolute disaster A hot food and cold food are both disorganized and been sitting for more than four hours clearly especially the soups and hot buffet. Overcooked noodles, food counters, dried out, hotels with crusty food. Not a lot of energy pretty cold attitude. My 10-year-old son to use the bathroom and was dancing around pretty vigorously as we were shopping for our dinner and was sent to the bathroom three times the bathroom bathrooms were unacceptable due to their cleaning. I notified the Deli counter numerous times my 10-year-old boy needed to go to the bathroom. They kept shrinking their shoulders and giving us a code and said they don't know what to do. The options are: you clearly presented your signs and show that the floor is wet, which is relieving you of any liability if somebody slips and you clean one bathroom at a time while the doors are open and guest need to use a bathroom. Or I have to instruct my son to literally go and pee outside the door once they got the MOD. He came with an attitude. His name was Jaszmin. He argued with me. I clearly told him that my son is going to use the bathroom anyway because he has no choice. On another note: did not fit the small containers of soup so we gently put it on soup was bagged up from the very kind Check guy. He had a tattoo on his neck that said baby. Unfortunate thing was that the soup by the time we got to the car and sloshed and spilled inside the bag, creating it virtually inEdible due to the fact that we could not even open the bag. Then went back to the MOD Jaszmin and apologized for my assertiveness, but we needed to take care of my child going to the bathroom so we were left no choice. I was extremely kind and he turned around on me and I was accused of yelling at her staff. Both of my kids question that saying that I did not as well as I clearly did not I was very assertive, but I was not yelling. This team needs to know how to take care of their store. They can't take care of their stores. You can't take care of the customers. They clearly see now why they have a 3.8 stars versus some of the other properties they have 5 stars. You are going to finger point at me, perhaps you should point the fingers at yourselves and find out why people are complaining?. This is just another feather filled failed headdress. Customer service is what makes the product product doesn't make the customer service so figure it out and check yourselves No worry, we won't be back and I will be calling the BBB Boooooooo

- Panecito y Café My…read moregirlfriend and I stopped at Panecito y Café while driving through Bakersfield on our way to Los Angeles. After comparing several review sites, we chose this spot because it was conveniently located near the freeway and had a great selection of coffee and baked goods. I'm glad we did because it ended up being an excellent stop. Parking was easy, with plenty of open spaces right in front of the bakery. When we walked in, we were greeted by a very friendly staff. Most of the employees primarily spoke Spanish, which is pretty common for an authentic Mexican bakery. Thankfully my girlfriend speaks Spanish, which made ordering easier, though everyone was still welcoming and helpful. The layout is nice. There's a small dining area on one side, while the other side features the coffee counter, a small selection of Mexican grocery items, and display cases packed with fresh pastries and breads. The selection is impressive. They had conchas, empanadas, croissants, yoyos, polvorones, muffins, churros, cinnamon rolls, pineapple cakes, Mexican donuts, vanilla and pineapple pastries, niño envuelto, cannoli-style pastries, and many other traditional baked goods. I ordered the apple empanada, which was excellent, along with another pastry that my girlfriend explained was topped with a cream cheese and butter mixture covered in sugar. It was incredibly sweet, but absolutely delicious. For drinks, I ordered the large Carlos V iced coffee, and my girlfriend ordered the Duvalín coffee, which is inspired by the popular Mexican candy. We both really enjoyed our drinks. One thing I thought was especially nice is that the specialty coffees come with a small conchita on top, making them an even better value. At around $7.95 for a large, it's a great deal considering you're getting both a specialty coffee and fresh bread. Their coffee menu is extensive. Beyond their specialty drinks, they also offer lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos, mochas, macchiatos, espresso, frappes, hot chocolate, iced hot chocolate, teas, lemonades, aguas frescas, and plenty of flavored syrups like vanilla, hazelnut, brown sugar, cinnamon, caramel, coconut, white chocolate, and chocolate. I also used the restroom during our visit, and it was spotless. It was so clean that I actually went back and told my girlfriend she should use it before we got back on the road because it was one of the cleanest public restrooms we'd come across that day. Overall, this was a fantastic stop. Easy parking, friendly service, clean facilities, excellent coffee, and an outstanding selection of authentic Mexican pastries. I would absolutely stop here again anytime I'm passing through Bakersfield and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Mexican bakery and coffee shop.
