    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!

    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!

    We were recommended the angry mac. Best of everything layered in a bowl, but I was craving chicken…read moresandwich. I appreciate that they have a meal with different items (sandwich, tenders, bread and fries). We opted for the mac n cheese because I wanted to try it. I didn't care for the mac n cheese but my husband devoured it, leaving me no more to even try and like it. It was too plain for me. Loved the bread on the sandwich. The mild had a good kick, not too spicy. Next level would have probably been too much for me. The fries was packed with seasoning too. Decent. It wasn't over cooked or soggy. It had a nice crisp to it. As steady as this place was, the tables were ALL dirty. They could have taken some time to wipe it down. There were people who actually sat down and ate there. There were a lot of to go orders too. I can see the appeal of the angry mac. The seasoning was drenched all over the mac n cheese. But...it's not for me.

    Alright, only honest reviews never bashing! This location…read moreisn't that bad, yes the staff could be more friendly but the food is still great in my opinion! The location on Gosford Rd beats this place in a long shot in customer service. I started coming to this location because it's on my way to work and the Angry Mac bowl is outstanding . I was asked to do a review from the employee David. And I told him I will leave a review but it's gonna be brutally honest...he said absolutely please do. When I arrived at this location the doors are "EXTREMELY" hard to open...please someone fix this issues and I felt like once I entered I was not greeted at all....but I figured out what it is. When you walk in there is a fly fan at the top of the doors and it blows strong air, so that it keeps the flies out and you can not hear the employees greet you, but they do. Now there are different staff that help at times and some are friendlier than others. But some of them are just there to get through the day... I'm not blaming them, sometimes I dislike my job and it could chance my mood...we are only human. The food is still great and overall I'll still purchase from this establishment.

    I'm so excited that Bakersfield FINALLY got another fried fish spot! This place is not in the best…read moreneighborhood but please don't let that deter you. It's pretty small inside so it won't be great for large groups but the employees are friendly. The guy that gave me my order informed me that this place is originally from Louisiana and this store is the only one in California! I ordered the 4 piece fish combo and chose the fried okra and red beans and rice for my sides. I also added the fried green tomatoes to my order. I'm not a fan of catfish but this was good. The seasoning on their food is SEASONING, okay?!!!! The fried green tomatoes are delicious without any sauce but when you dip it in their homemade tartar sauce and hot sauce it's amazing! I'm not sure what kind of roll it is that comes with their meals but Hot Damn it's bomb! It's like a soft pillow, almost like a beignet but not as airy. I didn't eat my food for about 40 minutes or so and the roll was still so soft! I will definitely hit this place up again and give the fried chicken and fried shrimp a try! If you've been looking for a place with fried fish, look no more! It's called Chick O Fish and it's in Bakersfield via Louisiana!

    This place just opened up yesterday. It was their second day. They have chicken, fish, and shrimp…read more Everything I had on the combo plate was breaded. I got a side of fries, cole slaw, and a freshly baked bun. The owner told me this was a franchise. They were from Louisiana and were looking for opportunities in Bakersfield. As with any new business, it is going to take a few days to get the place up and running. You can eat inside. The tables and chairs looked comfy, but I opted to take out. The walls are a little sparse, but I'm certain they will dress the place up nicely. The owner was very nice and you could tell he had a passion for this business. I look forward to seeing them very successful.
