    Hot salsa wasn't hot just mild if I'm in the area I'll probably have it again
    Alejandro R.

    Just some normal tacos nothing out of this world does the job asada was good chicken I won't get & pork was ok

    Love this place I see a lot of comments about the service, but they're always super nice to me. He even remembers my name. The tacos are amazing. I wish they put more of their secret sauce on there but still amazing it used to be a taco truck now it's a taco building with tables outside, so it's kind of like the street taco authentic taco

    Beef Tacos

    I used to eat here so much, then the sauce changed so we stopped coming. Started eating here again recently and they have been great every time. I always order the Beef Tacos with everything, extra hot and extra onions. P.s. you can call ahead and they have them ready for you so you don't have to wait.

    Doesn't Come to much surprise, but this small taco street gem is a must when trying authentic perfectly made tacos in Bakersfield! Dave's Menu is straightforward, reasonably priced and solely offers tacos ,not burritos! (Sorry burrito fans!) In overall, Quality of service, food and hospitality make the list worthy & credible. Strongly recommend!

    Don't come here! Customer service sucks! They don't greet you nor ask if you want a Receipt! You order they give you, the total... and that's what you get! Lol this place is a joke! Lonely! Corner taco spot! Only came here cause it's a cross my workpla

    Beef taco, $1.75 each

    Small quaint place to grab a quick bite to eat for lunch. Menu has limited options, but that's perfect for this small venue. There is only seating available outside on tables/chairs; nice for a sunny day. I ordered a beef taco and a chicken taco; they came out in small bite sizes; very quick to finish it up. The meat was cut up in tiny cubes and tossed in there with some cilantro and radishes (and lathered w/ hot sauce). Each taco is $1.75 each; pretty pricey! Would be nice if it was just $1 each or something. :)

    Good street tacos. Unfortunately they do not have a combo selection and you have to order everything separately.

    Always a favorite spot to go for tacos!! All their tacos are great but they need to bring back their tongue tacos! Those were amazing!

    We came in to celebrate my 38th birthday today. I was on the mood for some shrimp fajitas…read more We'd been to the other location and didn't have as good experience as this. First off it was a steady flow of customers for a Wednesday evening. Many birthdays! We were sat immediately and waiter came to take our drink order. I had a mango chamoy margarita, while my husband got a roasted chili cucumber margarita on the rocks. His drink was SPICY! I ordered the shrimp fajitas and my husband ordered the chicken and steak molcajete. Our food was brought out super fast! The portions - humongous! But the food is so good! My husband is super picky when it comes to Mexican food, and he said this molcajete is his favorite so far compared to other Mexican restaurants we've been to. The bright colorful colors and great music selection really make it joyous and fun dining experiences. Highly recommend.

It was just the best. Next time we will eat there. The place is spotless and really pretty. It is festive looking and ever so comfortable. We loved everything about it. Parking is easy. The prices are super fair. The food is amazing. We had burritos that were just packed with meat. We had chicken and beef. We also had chips and coffee to go. I have to say, their coffee is great. The service is so nice. This was our first time here so they were so helpful with the menu. We also took Papa Tacos and wow were they great. We loved the rice and beans. The rice was perfect, not dried out like some places. We will be back. Try it.

Before my guest even arrived, I was told the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes, which made it impossible to plan or order properly for both of us. About 30 minutes after being seated, the waitress asked to close out my tab and mentioned they were closing an hour and a half early, something that should have been communicated when I walked in so I could have chosen to go elsewhere. To make things worse, about 10 minutes before closing, they turned the lights all the way up and shut the music off, which made it very clear we were being pushed out. No one came by to offer boxes for our food (I had more than half my meal left), and my guest didn't even get to finish her drink. We were essentially rushed out before the already early closing time, with no proper send-off. Overall, the experience felt very unprofessional and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.
