    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.

    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.

    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 can't get enough of Bentley Bowl! I always get the Bentley Signature Bowl, "MVP" size. It hits…read morethe spot every time. Every flavor works so well together. From the fried chicken to the Mac n cheese to the smothered greens and all the goodness inbetween. I didn't even know I could love a sweep potato this much, until I had their sweet potatoes. And the cornbread is soft on the inside with the perfect outer crunch. Truly, heaven in a bowl. They do some amazing in house hot sauces, and you don't want to skimp on those. I brought my brother with me on my last visit, and tried the BBQ Fry Bowl he got. It was of course delicious as well. The Waller brothers and family team making the magic happen are extremely kind and friendly people. They have a way of making you feel like a part of the greater Bentley Bowl Family. Of course, a special shout out to Auntie Ora who seems to always be in the kitchen or onsite, working her magic. She always greets me with a warm smile and asks me how I am doing. They're truly the sweetest folks. They often run regularly out of their kitchen in downtown Bakersfield, though they still keep the food truck very active and you can find it regularly at all of greater Bakersfield's best events. Their instagram is great way to keep up with for the most up to date location of the truck.

My husband raved about the fried chicken because it's made with thigh meat and has a crispy fried batter. They provide great service and aim to please their customers. The food is good but the packaging is impressive!!! Above and beyond with classy red bowl and beautifully packaged gold forks! Are you kidding me?!!! Wow!!! Plus a Bible verse on the side. Congrats to this family. You are making Bakersfield proud.
