My family and I love this restaurant. Everything is fresh. I recommend the Enchiladas Suizas. The food is not greasy like other Mexican restaurants in Bakersfield that re-use their grease. I give this Restaurant 100%. Their service is great and it’s nice and clean inside.

I had a tostada. I was good. Their pork rinds or whatever we’re good too. The menudo looked tasty but I did not try it. Casual laid back setting.

If I could give six stars I would. The staff, food, and atmosphere was EXCELLENT. They sang Happy Birthday to a guy who turned 21 and the whole restaurant joined in. Then he had to drink a beer.

Best place to get Beers and Tacos! This place has great bartenders and servers. They have a nice sized menu, the American food is as good as the Mexican food. They care about the flavor, take their time preparing it, and serve it quickly. Our family favorites are the Birria Dorado tacos and the Mexican flag burrito, but the burgers are good too. 5 stars, meet me at the bar!

It is a small place and I had to wait to get seated but the service was good but the food was ok I would say. I liked the avocado sauce the most but over all a little bit pricey. I ordered 3 tacos with beans and rice. I forgot yo take pictures. I understand things are going up in prices but the taste should as well and quality of meat. But I had a nice time there by myself and I also went another time with friends just to see if anything would changed but It was the same just a longer bill lol

Me and my husband tried it for the first time, the tacos were good. They charge for extra salsa. My husband didn’t like his burrito. We ordered 2 beers and the the bill for the 2 tacos, burrito and 2 beers was a lot. Not worth it. Rather go to a taco truck on niles
