Staff was friendly and greeted us on entry, got us seated right away and got drinks out to us. I had the combination plate with 2 enchiladas and a tamale, my wife had a veggie burrito. Everything was well seasoned, my wife really enjoyed her burrito, it was packed full with filling and she said it was tasty. It's a little on the pricy side but not the worst I've seen. The enchilada sauce is pretty run of the mill but it still had good flavor and the enchiladas were well filled. The tamale wasn't dry and the Chile Verde sauce was tasty. It was a better experience this time around and I think we'd drop in again if we were in the area.

Pleasant surprise on my travels to Bakersfield…read more Chicken Burrito was customized perfectly and was delicious. My friends went with the chicken enchiladas with green sauce, as well as the fajita salad. Loved the ambiance, staff was great, and loved the energy. Will definitely be returning on my future travels.

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.

There was Spanish music playing from a speaker near the entrance. The portions were amazing. You can't leave here hungry. Our server seated us very quickly and brought us chips and salsa. They have lunch and happy hour specials that are a great value. Our order came out quickly. The food tasted just as good as I looked. With so many restaurants in town it's hard to stand out. Definitely give them a try if you're in the neighborhood.

I have been wanting to come here for such a long time since about a handful of people have told me…read morethis is the best spot that serves Mexican seafood. I have now visited a couple of times and so far my experience has been good. I absolutely love seafood, but I think my favorite Mexican seafood items are super simple and I'm always on the look out for the best gobernador tacos and the best shrimp empanadas. The gobernador tacos were just okay to me, they weren't the best I've had in Bakersfield nor were they the worse, they were just about in the middle for me. I don't know the true ingredients in what goes into the gobernador tacos because I'm not Mexican. I have a lot of Mexican family and friends, but I don't know what goes in it, but this is the only restaurant that didn't have like grilled onions and peppers with the shrimp inside the tacos so I was definitely missing it. If you like ceviche or aguachile the one from here is really good and my husband says he recommends it. On my recent visit I decided to try out the "presidente" tacos and I actually liked it more than the gobernador tacos. There were pieces of poblano peppers inside of the taco so I liked it. My husband ordered the sope sampler and it is actually a genius item on the menu. The sope was homemade and I really love that because it didn't taste like the thick store bought ones, I would definitely order that again. The restaurant is really nice, very spacious if you want to dine in with a group. Service is nice, the lady waiting on our table also waited on us the very first time I visited and she is super nice and was on top of it. The only thing that was kind of a let down for us was that we came here recently for a work birthday lunch and we asked her if they do anything for the birthdays and she said yes but it has to be on the actual birthday otherwise they can't do anything. We came on a Friday but her birthday landed on a Sunday which did not make a lot of sense. I think they need to allow a few days before and after for birthdays. The restaurant is a little dim inside so if you have bad eyes then you might have a hard time reading the menu like me and my husband. The menu size is a little overwhelming since there's a lot of options on the menu so it makes it hard to commit to something since you have to read a pamphlet of options. I feel like it's a little pricey here versus other similar restaurants. I would definitely love to come back if I was invited to come out by friends or family, but I don't think this would be my number 1 choice for Mexican seafood. I do believe you should come by to try it out so you can give your own honest opinion. The last couple of times I visited it was not too busy so if you are worried about the time just know it was not busy each time so I think you're good.

While I wasn't in the mood for the namesake mariscos after having enjoyed a couple of fish tacos…read morefor lunch earlier today (prior to my visit to this place), La Costa Mariscos' 3-item plate was ample and delicious. Two crunchy shredded beef tacos, a chile relleno (baked rather than breaded and fried), and a cold Modelo were pure harmonious perfection. Great value, too, with the food plate running just a touch under $20. Two items probably would've filled me up but throwing on the 3rd only added $1, so why not? When I visited on a Tuesday around happy hour time, the dining area was packed and the bar area was far less busy. Looks like the bar area has potential to be a very lively happy hour with a circular bar layout that should facilitate conversations and fun times as well as some more intimate high-top seating around the edges of the bar area in case you're out with friends and want the bar vibe without needing to sit too close to strangers. High marks for the decor, ambiance, and food quality.

My rating is mostly based on the drinks and my service. I…read moregot tired of waiting for my sushi spot to open so I decided to give this location a shot. I had already tried the original one and I never cared for it. People were already seated when I walked in a little after 11am. My ticket says my server was Gerado and he was so great! I asked him for suggestions on what to order and also asked him about the drinks. I ordered a tostada de ceviche 4/10. Really overpriced fish on a tostada that doesn't go well with the ceviche. Fish needs to be cooked in lime and not lemon, as I tasted it was cooked in lemon which doesn't taste good. The fish is chopped in good pieces, but for me it'll stay at a 4. The salsa and chips were a 7/10 only because the chips outweighed the salsa. Salsa is nothing special, tomatoes are chopped to thick and has no spice to it. The tacos come with a lot of grated cheese which I took off, solid 8/10. Albondigas surprised me, if they were cooked a little longer they would've been softer the way I like them and they would've been 10/10, but they are a solid 9. The fish was really nothing special 3/10, but the rice was really good 10/10. The beans were dry 3/10. I ended up making burritos out of my leftover lettuce from my beef tacos and the basic fish and used the green salsa they offer. The blueberry whiskey sour was a 100!!! One of the best drinks I've ever had! The El Corazón tasted like a strawberry margarita with tad more berry puree 7/10. Next time I go I'll sit at the bar, either way I don't feel like my feet will touch the ground.
