The food was amazing the burritos was very big and tasty and the quesadilla was very good as well. The service was fast for how busy it was at 6 on a Friday night. It was kind of hard to find a seat because it was so busy but we ended up finding a spot read more

It's always a good day with Victor's on your plate! I stopped by recently with a lifelong friend and his wife while they were in town. His wife is not from Bakersfield, and seeks out Victor's every time they visit. She asked me how I don't eat at Victor's for every meal. With food this delicoius and this reasonably priced, it's truly a valid question. I tend to get the shrimp burrito, but I recommend anything on their menu. Victor's has earned their right as a local household name and favorite over the years. The folks behind the counter are always friendly and helpful. The restaurant is always clean and well taken care of. read more

I've given Victor's Mexican Grill multiple chances, but my recent experience was enough to make me stop coming back. The biggest issue is the constant upcharges. It seems like everything costs extra--shrimp, queso, onions, and more. Normally I wouldn't mind paying extra if the portions matched the price, but they don't. I paid for onions and was given a tiny portion. When I politely asked for a little more, I was told I would have to pay again. That felt ridiculous. She actually said "Welcome to the real world nothing is free" after giving me the smaller onion when they had plenty of extra. On top of that, the customer service was disappointing. Instead of feeling appreciated as a paying customer, I felt like I was being treated as an inconvenience. The attitude from staff came across as rude and dismissive, which made the situation even more frustrating. My friend payed for his food with Apple Cash and the system took the money then the employee told me it hadn't gone through. When the money on my friend's end was gone. This being the systems fault we were told they couldn't do anything about it leading to us paying once again for the over priced meal. Prices continue to go up, portions seem to get smaller, and customer service has gone downhill. I don't mind paying for quality food, but I do expect fair portions and respectful treatment. Unfortunately, that's not what I experienced here. read more

Victor's walking into your establishment this afternoon was such a wonderful treat. The traditional Christmas decor was absolutely welcoming and gorgeous. And the modern touch of the "verse of the day" warmed my with great joy and adoration. And the fpresentation of the food with it's extraordinary, flavorfu,l taste was beyond what I ever imagined. The Talapia Bowl was the best I ever had. 10 out of 10. Best lunch choice indeed read more

Just discovered their breakfast burritos!! Run dont walk!! Seriously the perfect size, flavor, and price! Walked in and ordered and waited about 10 mins sitting at one of their many tables. They had lots of seating inside and out. But took mine to go and once home it was hot, delicious, - perfect egg, cheese, bacon, potatoe, salsa ratio and amazing flavor! About 11.50 I think for a large burrito! Excited to go back!! read more

I love me some victors! They are friendly, the food is good and depending on your options, you can make it pretty healthy. It's been a few weeks since I have been down here and I swear the portions are getting smaller and the prices are going up which is unfortunate. Still a good spot for a quick bite. read more

Was recommend this spot for Mexican food! The place is new, clean, super busy and with plenty of room to dine in. The line cook was very helpful especially with recommendations when I told him it was my first time. I ended up ordering the Victors style/wet burrito with steak and it definitely hit the spot. First thing I instantly noticed that the price was comparable to chipotle however, you DEFINITELY get more bang for you buck here they do not cheap out on with the meats and the tortilla for the burrito is huge. 9/10 for flavor and would recommend to anyone looking for a better alternative to chipotle! read more

The employees were friendly and had patience with us as it was our first time and our youngest was very indecisive. The food was great. I had the Barbacoa, it wasn't spicy in my opinion, but it was flavorful. My daughter said the steak tacos were good, but the horchata was just ok. The restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated. read more

We love this place! It's out go-to for fresh fast Mexican food. It beats Chipotle hands down and its local and Christian as added bonuses. The staff is friendly and the place is always clean. My middle always gets the cheese quesadilla and she swears it's the best in town. My other daughter and I get the bowls and we switch between the chicken and the steak. Both are great. We get all the goodies including the homemade guacamole and the corn. We also like adding the veggies. They also have cactus but I'm not a fan because of the texture so I skip it. We've also gotten the enchiladas and nachos which are off menu and tried the various daily specials from the board. A couple of tips: mix the mango and cilantro dressings for a special sauce, try the yummy horchata, and join the loyalty club for points to get money off every couple of visits. read more

I had chipotle and also victors today, got a bowl on doordash from each. chipotle was very light on everything (as expected) especially the sour cream. Victors was absolutely perfect. the employees wrote a note on the top of my box thanking me for my support and that was very meaningful. i would recommend victors every time. read more

Totally recommend this establishment the service is great and helpful. The food has always been good I have their nachos almost once a week.

It is a very nice Mexican fast food restaurant. I got the Barbacoa bowl with Spanish rice, and it was delicious.the only downside is that the portion is small. I am not a big eater, but I was still hungry after the bowl. My wife got wheat quesdea. The steak was good, but the actual quesdea was dry. It could be because it is a wheat one. I would definitely go back again! read more

Nothing. Wife ordered a chicken bowl awfully dry portions. I had a baracoa burrito. Dry also, Going back to chipotle.

Stopped in for a chicken salad today and seen that they started charging for extra cheese and sour cream. Just make sure that if you're going to charge to make sure you get extra! The girl that was putting the sauces and stuff looked new, as it was starting to get busy and they were just letting her struggle. I would like to also include that their salads are not as big as they use to be. They use to touch the top and they don't! Just look at the other pictures posted on here. read more

I never thought I'd give Victor's a 1-star, but here we are... I went in with my daughter to grab dinner, and everything was going fine with the staff until, what looked like the manager walked in and was very rude to both of us. Then my burrito tortilla ripped, and one of the employees said it needed to be re-wrapped with a new tortilla. I suggested to just using the old tortilla and a new one to make it easier, but the manager said they'd have to charge me for two burritos if they used the ripped tortilla and the new tortilla. I said that was ridiculous since they were going to throw away the ripped tortilla anyway. She replied that it was policy, then rolled up the ripped tortilla in the old wrapper, along with her gloves, and threw it away right in front of me. Did Victor's get bought out or something? Nothing screams corporate like charging a customer for something you were going to throw away regardless. Go to Chipotle instead. I am not spending my money at this "locally owned" establishment anymore. read more

Tried the keto tacos and they were delicious. The taco shells were made of cheese Thanks Victor's for supporting keto! I also appreciate the scriptures you put up. God bless your business! read more

Our family eats here A LOT! They are consistently delicious and we look forward to eating here every week

Line doesn't move and to the door! 5:30PM and 2 people working the food line is ridiculous and a sign of poor leadership. Get it together already. 3 people walked in and walked out so far. 30 minutes to get food. read more

All my previous sterling reviews hold fast and are consistently positive ... food and service keep bringing me back

Good food but super expensive. They charge for every little thing and not mention, a burrito runs you like $18 now, insane.

I love coming to this victors it's super clean. The staff is super friendly even if you come late at night the food always taste fresh. I love the burritos and the salads from here in the Horchata is surprisingly very good. read more

We love getting our breakfast burritos here! I usually get the bacon burrito (large) and my husband enjoys the dos manos burrito! The dos manos-as the name implies- is huge, it includes four meats and is quite delicious. We rarely finish our burritos in one sitting but don't mind the leftovers at all. Can't speak for any of their other foods, but we have been back multiple times for these breakfast burritos! Service has always been great- such friendly staff! Plenty of tables for dine in as well. read more

Total rip off. Prices are higher , portions smaller. Subpar carne asada. Waaaay overpriced. It simply proves your off better at many restaurants paying couple dollars more for service , full meal experience. Fast food is way overpriced. Buritto truck 11$ burrito huge fresh ingredients. Victors , fillers , hardly any protien.15.00...... read more

Love this place!! I usually get the chicken salad or the chili verde burrito. Both are delicious!!! The food is always fresh and the employees are always friendly and quick!! Even when you have a long line, they have a good system going where you can get your food quick. Today I got the chicken salad with black beans, brown rice, salsa, cheese and the cilantro sauce. DON'T FORGET THE CILANTRO SAUCE!!! This stuff is so good!!! I don't know what all is in it, but it makes everything taste even better!! Just an FYI, they DO sell the sauce if you want to take a container home. I highly recommend this! I also bought a chili verde burrito and a barbacoa burrito for my son and his girlfriend. They were happy with their food! They have a couple tables to eat at outside, but not much. But they package your food well and you can still get home and eat it without a mess! Love this place!! Oh and if you go pick up your to go order, some times they add little messages on your packaging. It's the little things that make you go "awww!" read more

Yummy food, generous portions. We get the family pack. The kids love the spanish rice. The cilantro sauce is great. read more

Quick and easy! The help is nice and will make sure you can be in and out of line in just a few moments! The food is good! Think about Chipotle style with bowls, burritos, tacos or salads but actually good and not over priced for what you get. read more

Everyone in Bakersfield talks about the famous Victor's, but let me tell you... it is not as fantastic as everyone makes it out to be. The food is subpar at best... the meat, rice, and beans need more flavor. The barbacoa instantly gave my boyfriend heartburn. I don't particularly like the tortillas either, but now I'm just getting nit picky. To be fair, I did go at 8:30 right before closing this last time, so I was taking that into consideration when eating the burrito I ordered. It was substantial, but I don't want substantial. I want delicious. I want better than chipotle vibes. It was NOT giving. I have had high hopes for Victor's for a long time, but even after a year and a half, I am underwhelmed and far from impressed. Go elsewhere. There are better options in this town to try. read more

I used to come to this place all the time when I worked downtown! Convenient, good pricing and good product. Sometimes I would have extra for leftovers and even leftovers were good. I would choose this place over Chipotle any day. The service is always great and fast. Nice tables inside, but no outdoor seating really. Sad to know it's not open I think on Sundays when I'm craving Victors; I think the only downside to this place. But I guess they are entitled to a day off!! read more

Every time I explain to someone what Victors is like I say it's like a chipotle but with much more authentic Mexican food. I like how they always welcome you in and provide great service! I love how they have so much to offer than just bowls, burritos, quesadillas or tacos like chipotle does but they have off menu items daily which all look amazing. They've come a long way it seems and are continuing to provide great quality and healthy options. read more

friendly staff and amazing food always! call ahead to avoid lines if you are in a time crunch!

Poor customer service. Went a few weeks ago and all the toppings were left off the fries. Called and was told the next time I came in I could get another order. Went today and showed the pics and was told since she (female manager with long ponytail) couldn't find my name, no correcting of order. I showed her the pics - their fries with their way shorthand for orders. Yet she offered zero. AND had a bit of attitude when I asked the worker -" Isn't this the way you write up orders here? These are your fries, right?" (The worker confirmed. I hope he doesn't get in trouble for telling the truth.) read more

While the taste of food and the friendly staff is very important, the food handling and the cleanliness is very crucial. I went in today and I always like how clean they try to clean the pass. But I've seen several employees wiping down with rags and then touching customers food.....all with the same pair of gloves. The gloves aren't supposed to protect the employees, they are supposed to protect consumers health. Gloves should constantly be switched out especially if you're using a wet rag to wipe down and plan on getting the tortillas or sprinkling cilantro on the food. I hope this does get viewed. read more

My wife and I have been here a couple of times because if of great, fresh, healthy food. I like this place because it offers shrimp. I ordered shrimp tacos with brown rice, black beans, lettuce, salsa, cheese, and sour cream. The tacos are big and pretty good. Clean restaurant. Nice atmosphere. read more

Food is ok. Service is ok at best. Whatever you do NOT order three nachos. They simply cannot handle three order of nachos and get it remotely right. It's like watching three monkeys romance a football. Like how hard is it really?! Apparently very. You walk in with three orders of nachos and they are as screwed up as a football bat. W T H?!!!! 3 stars at best. On a good day. read more

Victors is quite easily my favorite establishment in Bakersfield. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, it doesn't matter all their food is amazing. They watch out really well for my allergies, and I always feel welcomed. I've been a regular for five years now, and I have not been sick of it at all. When I say a regular, I mean, I eat this place 3 to 4 times a week at minimum. If you haven't tried it, I like to call it a healthy chipotle. Highly highly recommended! read more

Everything is great about this place except the chicken. Their chicken is dry and flavorless. Maybe that's because they use chicken breast and barely season it. Also the salsas are weak. Other than that this is a good competitor to Chipotle. read more
