This is one of my favorite places in Bakersfield. I love all the food that I’ve tried from their menu. Happy hour is so worth it there because they make amazing margaritas for $5. This is the fajita burrito & it was delicious. The people who work here are very kind and very talented.

Not usually super busy, the food is good. Sometimes the carnitas are dry. The Arroz con Pollo is fantastic.

It’s decent on the inside and friendly staff. The chile relleno was excellent but the beans and rice weren’t to my liking. I still ate it all. Crispy taco with shredded beef was good also. The salsa was different as it was spicy in the back of the throat but not on the tongue or lips.

I had a wonderful experience. The peach margaritas – yes, I had two – were delicious. The pupusas with pork were super yummy. I’ll be back for sure. This is a mom and pop restaurant. They are so kind, and the service was great.
