    El pollo ya patio food truck
    John H.

    I'm not a big food truck, but when I'm hungry and need something quick, I'm in. This food truck is hidden behind the old Fairfax Grange building on the northeast corner of Fairfax and Brundage. I got the 2-piece chicken plate. It came with beans, salsa, and tortillas. With a water, the total came to 9 bucks. The chicken was flavorful, especially when dipped in the salsa. The food came quickly and there is a covered area with picnic tables to sit eat. All-in-all, for a quick, inexpensive meal, you can really beat a good food truck. REMEMBER: Check the day. They are only open Thursday-Sunday.

    Combo #1: chicken, rice, beans, salsa and tortillas
    Natalie L.

    We had the food truck at my workplace today, and my co workers and I were all really impressed! Great prices and the food was delish. I ordered the chicken combo that comes with tortillas, beans, and salsa. I also added a side of rice for .99 cents. The sides do look small but I honestly got pretty full with a little chicken left over. The food was seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the employees ( or owners not sure) were super friendly and prompt. We hope to have them back again!

    Delicious chicken burrito

    The best Chicken and Tri-tip in town so forget fast food , they also have Burritos , Quesadillas and on weekend the Birria tacos Family owned business, one of the reason they have great customer service I live in the other side of town but the taste of there food it's very well worth the trip

    Tri-Tip chicken combo and a chicken quesadilla
    Gabriela R.

    Not much to look at on the menu, but the few things they have are pretty good. They have nine different menu options, tortillas, tri-tip, chicken, beans and rice. Basically what every meal consists of. We ordered the chicken and tritip combo with beans and salsa. My daughters for the chicken quesadilla. Both really good, different than what you get in other taco trucks. Service is great and friendly, if I'm on this side of town I will be coming back.

    If your looking for amazing nacho, this is the spot to go to. One of the best nachos I've tasted. Ordered the nacho with shredded chicken and tri tip with everything. The Jalapeños and red onions seriously hit the spot!

    Finally! A great place for tacos. I have been in Bakersfield for a year and I am so glad that this…read moreplace popped up. This taco shop is run out of taco trucks and I go to the one on the corner of Comanche and Highway 178. They have two other locations available as well and have business cards with that information. The Carne Asada and Cabeza tacos are bomb! The Al Pastor is also very delicious and I've had all three in a taco, torta, or burrito, Their torta can be a little on the dry side so I recommend asking for extra mayonnaise. They do not put refried beans or any kind of bean on the torta, however you can request whole pinto beans, which is what they have. Their burrito is pretty good. It is fully loaded with rice, beans, meat, onions, cilantro, and whatever salsa you like. In addition if you would like extra meat they will do that for a fee. This place offers green and red salsas, and both are delicious. They also have a smoky salsa which is a little spicier. They serve a variety of soft drinks, including Mexican Coke, and aguas fresca. If you are a fan of the Cabeza tacos... I recommend you arrive early because they tend to sell out of that taco meat. Enjoy!

    I'm not sure if I'm confusing this place with another since it is at a different location…read more There is a taco truck off 178 and Alfred Harrell Highway and the worker told me it was Taqueria El Campechin and that they are on IG and FB. This seems to be the place. Photos of the food look the same although it is a different truck. The place at 178 and Alfred Harrell is so delicious! Handmade yellow corn tortillas. The meat is grilled on charcoal. And the flavors are amazing! Yum! Good attention to detail! Everything is fantastic! Thank you!

Tonight they catered for our group of around 50 people. The food was tasty and they did an excellent job. Definitely find them and have a yummy meal with them.

We ordered the Bakersfield Picante noodles and the Hibachi Shrimp. Now some of the reviews on here are claiming small portion size. Well let me set that record straight. The bag was so heavy I almost dropped them when he handed it to me. Now to the food. I'm going to start with the rice and move my was up. First. Wow. It's really nice to have someone who really knows how to make fried rice. Moist without being greasy flavorful and plentiful! Next came the veggies, a great mix of carrots, zucchini , bell Peppers and onions. Cooked and crisp at the same time. Perfectly seasoned and not mushy. I was impressed.... Moving up the ladder of delish I had the picante noodles... and I must say.. simply amazing. Soft to the bite and perfectly chewy. Covered in a picante sauce ( hence the name) that was just short of sublime. Now. The star of the show. The shrimp and scallops. Cooked to perfection and PLENTIFUL! there was as much protein as there was veggies...It was amazing. We had the Hibachi shrimp as well... everything I just said about the Picante noodles... goes for the Hibachi. ( saving you a little time here) So if you are looking for fantastic food, and want to support a VETERAN OWNED LOCAL BUSINESS! This is the place. Great food. Great service. Get down here already! P.S. I didn't take pictures of the food because I was Hungary. Next time!!!!
