    Asada fries
    Michael S.

    I really hate to leave a small business like this a bad review but issues really should be addressed to thrive! First thought coming in was a little surprised because it was a little bit after 12 noon and nobody was there at all! Probably should've been a sign but the reviews are good so I stayed. Menu was fine plenty of options and the prices are ok. I ordered the asada fries and an ice tea. The server was talking on the phone the entire time which also isn't a great feeling as I never was offered a refill on my tea which is a pet peeve of mine, she never even gave me the bill I had to find her and ask after I was finished with my lunch.. for a while!! BTW the fries were good! Another bummer was my fries are 11.99 and my tea 3.00 but my bill was $17.85 before the .71 convince fee which is around a $2 over charge no including the convenience fee. Tax should have been around $1. Just too many issues to consider going back!

    Delicious! I always judge a Mexican food restaurant by the beans. So far my favorite in town! The birria tacos are yummy also.

This place is by far the worst restaurant I have been to in my lifetime. Although almost all the restaurants in Taft are disgusting. This place takes the cake. I am including a photo of the this thing they called a plain carne asada taco. If you look at the meat it does not look like anything anyone would want to sink their teeth into. My mom took that meat home for her cats and even they looked at her and gave her the WTF look and did not eat this caca. They served my brother a plate of fish with no flavor. They gave me a campechana which normally comes in a nice red color but they gave me something that looked like it was made with Flint Michigan tap water. The bill was $105 and all of it was absolutely disgusting. Do yourself a favor and do not eat out anywhere in Taft and just drive to Bakersfield or the Casino if you are eating out. To the owners and workers here how dare you serve this crap?

From most to least impressed: + Lengua taco: This was done really, really well. Lengua can be a hit or a miss sometimes, as it's easy to make it tough to chew, but this was extremely tender and I could've ordered an entire plate of just this. + Quesabirra taco: Really flavorful. The birria was great and pairs well with consume. + Asada taco: I would skip this one because the meat was on the tougher end for me. But the other two tacos win me over. Reasonably priced and the meal came with chips and salsa. Also clean seating and bathrooms with ample parking in the lot. Make this your pit stop if you're ever in this side of town!

    Our server welcomed us with the update that they had already sold out of chile rellenos. When I…read moreordered agua de Jimica they were out of that too so horchata it was. We ordered chips and salsa but then learned they were out of salsa and would be making more. They did have the tacos and quesadilla we ordered and they were delicious. Our server checked in to see if we needed anything else and we said we were waiting on the chips and salsa. She updated us that they were actually out of the ingredients for the salsa so those wouldn't be coming. I'm glad I checked the stall in the bathroom as one was out of toilet paper. I worry they might not have the cash flow they need if they have such a lean inventory.
