So tonight went here for a birthday celebration. Arrived before happy hour but paid 29.98 for a draft beer and one margarita. Insane prices. On top of that the waitress wouldn't split the check so we're all scrambling to get the money together to pay. It took 20 minutes get our order taken and I had to go to the bar to ask if someone could take our order. Karaoke was great but probably won't be back. Sorry El Chiito read more

Great little place. Festive floral accented decor. My fish tacos were fresh and grilled nicely. Crisp cabbage and salsa. Hubby got chile verde that had potatoes cooked with it. Tender meat with a vibrant verde sauce. Rice and beans with both. My beer duo Michelada natural with only lemon was a first for me. I enjoyed it. Friendly service. We will visit again. read more

I ordered chicken fajitas, a cheese enchiladas meal, and a chicken enchiladas meal, to go. No sides, no drinks - no extra items, whatsoever. Paid $92, only to find when I got home that they provided me with 2 orders of cheese enchiladas. I would like to have tried the chicken enchiladas, but hey, if they'd have been as dry as those cheese enchiladas were, it wouldn't have mattered. I could only stomach one enchilada and a few bites of rice which tasted old, as if it had come from a bag that had been in a pantry for years passed its best by date, before trying the beans which were quite good. But not $92 good. read more

The vibe was nice, music was good if your Hispanic and like to sing. They have karaoke available. The bartender was fast and cool . Everything was good until the bill came. OVERPRICED, is an understatement. Better off going somewhere else in town. God bless y'all! read more

El Chilito - Oyster shots - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Wanted Mexican food coming home from Vegas. Stop by Bakersfield on the way home and was feeling some Mexican food so stop by this place. This place gets packed. Service was fast and on point. Food was ordered and came out in a timely manner. I ordered the quesabirria and it came out hot and fresh. It was filled with lots of meat. Taco shell was crunchy but a little bland. Add the onion and salsa and it was good. My lady ordered the tostada aquachile. It was huge. Plenty to go around the table. Only complaint about it was a little salty but add the alcohol and it was good. The establishment is lively. Feels like a sports bar with tv around the restaurant. read more

bad SERVICE, call 5 times and had my other my family call as well. No answer. They need to fix their service

Chilito gets popping!!! You just need to know what days they have events, like they have days where they do karaoke night. I went on a Friday night and they had a DJ! You get free tostadas and salsa, they were so goood! They're very famous for their micheladas, SOOO good. I love their special micheladas. I also ordered an AMF and boyyyyy was it loaded, it was almost too strong and I loved it. :) The waiters are so attentive, and they even do the scary monja, it's fun and interactive. read more

This is a cool place on Brundage. We sat inside. I thought the booths were a little uncomfortable, but the service was excellent. We ordered the wet burrito with Al Pastor pork to split for lunch. There was plenty of food here for both of us. Be aware that there are no complimentary chips and it is not served with rice and beans. It did not matter though. The taste was exceptional. Spicy, but not too spicy. And, the meat was extremely tender. There was plenty here. It looks like there specialty is seafood. We just weren't in the mood, but will definitely try them next time. read more

First time here & I will definitely be back! Absolutely the best michelada I've ever had, I also had the tostada de camaron, it was fresh with great flavor. Service from Olga was great as well, she was very attentive & friendly. Can't wait to come back with the Husband. read more

What happened to you El Chilito!! The food used to be so good. What a disappointment. I get that everything cost more now but I'm still trying to make sense of how my plate which was mostly cucumber was 27 bucks. The taste was just not there. Also noticed that on a Friday night during lent this place was dead compared to last year. Sadly won't be coming back here. If you want a good michelada then you are in the right spot but avoid the food!! It's trash now unfortunately:( read more

El Chilito - Fyi they charge to use card now :-/ - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Food was ok nothing that really made me think oh yeah I'm coming here again. The drinks were awesome! The menu felt really limited, no happy hour stuff which felt odd being that it feels like a big bar more than a restaurant. Kids menu is mediocre at best. Hot food options are scarce. Really dimly lit on a sunny day kinda off putting, prices were ok but felt like they were a bit much considering the environment. A group of people walked in looked at the menu and surroundings and just left lol The service was ok nothing special, the waitress I feel could've gave a bit more effort considering we were the only ones there. overall I think good place to maybe have a drink but there are better options only a short walk away might come back for a drink to give it a second shot but I'll manage my expectations more realistically next time lol read more

Food was delicious but I do not like the new menu. They took all the prices & photos off. And now they charge $5 for chips & salsa with no refill. They gave us the tiniest portion for a table of 6. They're also under staffed, our waitress seemed to be the only one attending all the tables. read more

The food was trash and way over priced also small portions definitely don't recommend coming here!!! They take forever to service and are short staffed looked like they only had one read more

I used to love this spot but idk what happened. The food and drinks don't taste the same. They had less flavor and were way overpriced now. The service is good. The music and ambience is good too. It's just way too pricey for what you get and it lacks flavor. My aguachiles weren't even spicy at all, didn't taste like lime and it's had mainly cucumber and like 4 shrimps read more

Ambiance and lighting / decorating was nice, clean. Our server was attentive and very friendly! The guac with chips was VERY delicious and in good amount, which was great considering the somewhat hefty price tag it came with. Ordered the fish tacos and shrimp tacos separately. Very tasty and good portion sizing rice was okay, the refried beans were amazing w the cheese. Overall a great experience, however some fountain drinks didn't have complimentary refills. Great design and pretty good food. But the prices were a tad bit high read more

The bar was such a vibe, but the food was a letdown. Went during happy hour and ordered the aguachile and ceviche, and the flavor of both was off. Idk what it was, but it left me with a bitter after taste. The quesabirria tacos were dry and did not have enough cheese. Their drink menu is huge but the miche I ordered was a little too sweet for my liking. I would skip the fruit if you want it to taste more like a beer. All in all, just go for the drinks. read more

Food was okay. But, the drinks are super overpriced! Same drinks we've got at Agave, Aguacates, Casa Tabares and even La Costa we paid almost $35 for. Nothing special, no top shelf liquor either. Disappointed! The owners son said the restaurant businesses were failing... this is why. read more

I tried to make an order over the phone, I guess the lady on the phone couldn't hear me then she hung up on me and blocked my number. I reason why I know she blocked me because I called back 3 times and the calls didn't go through. Plus, their customer service isn't that good either. I wouldn't recommend going here but the food is okay. read more

Super cool place. Had the whole deep fried fish and it was amazing. Bartenders and managers are friendly and attentive.

I was extremely disappointed with my recent experience. I found pieces of meat in my beans, which is completely unacceptable, especially for some people who avoid meat--this is a serious case of food contamination. Not only that the lady took the plate of beans to the back and said it was a piece of onion even though i had seen it was a piece of meat it was a solid color and i poked it with a fork and it had a rubbery texture and she came back to show me a transparent piece of onion. She took out the piece of meat before I even got the chance to take a picture. It made me question the cleanliness and food handling practices of the establishment. On top of that, the sparklers used for presentation were a major safety hazard; one sparked so close to my face that it nearly hit my eye. What's meant to be a fun dining touch turned into a dangerous and uncomfortable situation. read more

I'm sorry but this place is TRASH! Waste of money. Maybe they should stop making food and just focus on their drinks. The setup is pretty cool, like for a fun hangout and chill with friends. They even have karaoke, but omg, the food just TRASH!!! The menu shows really nice pics you expect to be served, but the portion is so small. The service was okay, not bad, not great. My brother ordered the camarones a la diabla, which just tasted like Chipotle Chiles out of the can. No flavor of onion or garlic or tomato just can chiles. I ordered the shrimp mixed with octopus, crab, fish, and abalone cooked with mushrooms sauce. At first, I was excited to try it, and then I tasted it, and it's so bland, nothing special about it. My son ordered the deep-fried Mojarra, and it was lacking meat lol skinny fish served here. The rice is just awful, with no flavor whatsoever and very oily. The corn tortillas were weird. I tried to eat it and ignore the flavor, but they weren't good at all. The Horchata and the pineapple water were good, though, and this is why I say they should stay away from making food and just stick to making drinks. I forgot the silverware wasn't clean either. read more

It was our first time being there. And we loved the place. Our waitress was Olga and her service was outstanding. The bartender, wow! Such an amazing attitude. I also came across the person in charge, when she heard me talking so good about the micheladas mix. The food was also delicious . Our waitress, Olga when finishing her shift and came to say bye, we deff closed our tab with her and even after, she stayed and made some great conversation with us. Before leaving she said "one of my coworkers will be checking up on you" but no one ever came by, sad cause if they would of, we would left that person another tip for helping out Olga" Olga thank you, people like you make the customers always come back! read more

We did notice the restaurant has a "B" which threw me off a bit usually we wouldn't eat somewhere that has a "B" or lower, but my husbands coworker recommended this place, so we gave it a try. Overall the experience was good. We got seated quickly, our waitress was awesome, she brought us tostadas & saltine crackers w/ salsa (kinda sad they didn't have chips & salsa) but our drinks got brought out to us quickly, my husband ordered an adios was good and had a good amount of alcohol, I ordered a margarita and well it was okay. Our food was brought out really quickly which was a surprise to us, my husband enjoyed his meal, mines was okay I enjoyed the salad and rice more then the fish. The music playing was really loud, we couldn't really have a conversation. Our waitress did check on us every once in awhile and made sure we were okay. I believe it was the waitress who made this a pleasant experience. read more

You will get ripped off !! I recently ate here with my husband and we specifically went for "Happy Hour" and were surprised to see we were charged full price on our bill. Only 2 items were happy hour price. When we called the waitress over she explained that In order to get the happy hour price we have to specify we were ordering from the happy hour and have to tell her each item, they refused to fix our bill which really defeats the purpose of having a happy hour menu. If you advertise happy from from m-f 3pm-6pm then the times that are advertised as happy hour should automatically be billed as happy hour. In addition the waitress could have let us know this "policy " before we ordered. This was really a rip off and it's disappointing to see a business rip off its customers this way. I can only imagine how many other people got ripped off this way. read more

The food was great. The service sucked. They're very rude. I came in at 8:30 and they were hurrying me up. I felt uncomfortable mind you they close at 10 PM. The ambience is OK a little bit too loud music, but that doesn't bother me that much. I don't recommend it.Cazuelitas is way better and the girls are nice always happy never with a face like this girl with the glasses . I asked her can I have a refill and she said ok but walk away and never came back till 5 min later to give me a refill. read more

The micheladas are reallly good here. Now I know why they say home of the best micheladas. They have the basic micheladas or the ones with toppings on top. The empanadas were delicious and filled with lots of shrimp. The marisco tower was beautiful m, I didn't even want to eat it lol but it was very tasty and the extra salsa in the side was perfect to make it spicier. The service was pretty slow at times, but overall a great experience read more

After 5 calls to my usual to-go place I decided to try something new... Customer Service: 10\10, my call was answered in ONE ring. Flexibility with my order- I had the chance to order mild or spicy Aguachilles with upgrades. I asked for extra onion and they did not hesitate. Wait time: Call ahead! The establishment is only open for outside dining, underneath a very nice canopy and tables. I opted for a to-go order and I was there in 15 minutes. My food was neatly packaged, they hooked me up on tostadas and crackers and salsas. I'm ordering again tonight. That is exactly how good it was. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

El Chilito - Aguachilles, spicy. I asked for extra onion. This is a to-go order. About 15+ shrimp. To die for! - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This place hasn't been reviewed in too long and I'm wondering why? I'm passing by omw 2Fresno and my first impression was blah really nothing I wanted to eat, but then I tried a little bit if everyone's plates and man literally everything has such good flavor! So DO NOT SKIP ON THIS place! Favorite: ostiones preparados! Delicious!. Not basic. Enchiladas de camarón- good Coctel campechana - good! Chicharrones de pescado - pescado alone was good not amazing but good, the sauce it comes with man that was delicious!! 7 mares - good!! Tacos gobernador- good!! Ceviche loco- delicious! I didn't take pictures but the pictures on the menu are legitimate! lol read more
