Bakersfield

We drove to Charlotte from western NC because we had an early flight to catch the next morning. So, wife and I decided on a Mexican supper. Google & Yelp helped us find Bakersfield. We were promptly greeted and offered seating options at the bar or booth. We chose the booth. Lindsey arrived at our table with a friendly welcome and lovely smile. She asked if we had been to Bakersfield before, which we replied no. She extended her recommendations from the margarita list, which we went with and appetizers. Chips, salsa and hot delicious keso. While enjoying we then placed our entree order. All in all, Lindsey was instrumental in making our first visit to Bakersfield one to remember and will revisit when we are back in Charlotte.

overall mid restaurant. we came on a night when they were short staffed so the wait was pretty bad even though we had a reservation. the hostess was also acting as a bar tender and she was able to make us a pitcher of margs while we waited. they also comped our appetizers which was much appreciated! we had the chips and guac and short rib queso- really enjoyed these. we also had a few different tacos but enjoyed the short rib one the most. overall i would come back

Amazing place!! Great atmosphere for a date night or night out with friends. The food is awesome! Definitely get The Trio appetizer. Margaritas are so good. I got the pineapple one and my partner got the Bakersfield one and both were delicious. Also they use for corn tortillas so very gluten free friendly!

I enjoyed the indoor /outdoor vibe, they had garage door windows in which my friends and I sat in front it was nice, minus the occasional bee swat. We got the basic queso dip, it was okay to me, however my friends didn’t care for it, they said it didn’t have enough flavor or it missing something, but it was cheesy. They added they red sauce from the table, they said it gave it a little umph. We all order different tacos. I ordered the fish taco and the Baja shrimp. We were shocked at how tiny they were, they appear to be smaller than a street taco. Overall my tacos were okay, not much of a rave for me. *Note: no complimentary chips and salsa. However, the staff was friendly and we didn’t have to wait long to be seated. The waitress did explain the the menu to us and tried to prepare us to what to expect from the size of the tacos. Overall she was attentive and did check on is, I believe her name was Jessica.

This was my first time visiting Bakersfield, and I must say, I was impressed. I had the Street Tacos in three different flavors. I indulged in the Carnitas, Braised Ribs and Baja Shrimp Tacos topped off with a refreshing Rose'. The atmosphere and service was good, the taste of the food was amazing. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the carnitas. 😊 The chips were perfect with the Salsa Verde! Pictured: Glass of Rose' and Pineapple Margarita.
