    3 QuesaTacos
    Danny V.

    If you're craving bold flavors and fresh ingredients, El Taco Rojo is the place to be. Every taco bursts with authentic taste, from slow-cooked meats to vibrant salsas made daily. Especially the habanero. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in with friends, this spot brings serious flavor and laid-back vibes. Kind of odd location but it works.

    Good service and very convenient being inside the Bill WrightToyota service center. Food is good and Birra is their specialty and definitely recommend it.

    Great food, the quesatacos are on point 10/10 I'm glad I had a chance to eat here today.

    Still searching for the best breakfast burrito in Bakersfield. So today I visited El Taco Rojo while I was waiting for my car to be serviced. I ordered the sausage breakfast burrito; eggs, potatoes, sausage, and cheese w/ green salsa on the side. I was hopeful. Unfortunately ETR wasn't it. It was a decent size burrito for $10, but honestly nothing special. Alfonso's still holds the title of best breakfast burrito, IMO.

    I came in with my kiddos and I was struggling to pick something out. The cashier was very kind and recommended the child entrees by popularity. The kids loved the see through display case and right away picked their dessert too. They loved the vibrant music that they have a very clean facility. If you haven't tried their cafe de olla. It's the best in town.

    Very good tacos. Had the street tacos and the dorados. Interior is very clean. Service was quick. They also have seating indoor and outdoor. Definitely recommended!

    When we plugged El Taco Rojo into our gps and it took us to an auto mall we were super confused so don't worry when you pull up to Toyota, you are in the right place. I ordered a chicken burrito and added avocado for $1 (what a steal, I'll gladly pay $1 for avocado) . My husband ordered the taco Tuesday Quesatacos deal with a side of consome for $9.50. Overall, my burrito was good but there was almost too much rice to meat ratio. My husband's tacos were delicious but make sure you eat them fast. Birra is notorious for getting soggy very quickly. Although this was my first time seeing a restaurant in an auto mall I think it's genius.

    Great place to stop for breakfast or lunch quick and near the freeway. Clean really good food.

    Asada street tacos

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.

The place is pretty easy to find on the corner of 18th & R. There isn't a lot of seating for more than parties of 4. We were a party of 6 and we all smooshed into a horseshoe booth inside. There are only 2 of these booths available and they indicated they are not able to place additional seating at the booths. I imagine you might be able to put tables together outside for a larger party. We were greeted warmly, and while I felt overwhelmed by the amazing choices, the gal taking our order put me at ease by walking me through the menu board. We got amazing carnitas quesadillas and tacos and another dish that came on top of a mound of delicious fries. It's the kind of place where you order, then sit down and they bring you the food. We were well taken care of. Our drinks were refilled and they brought us 'to go' boxes. Their portions are generous and just tasty. And the iced tea was perfect! We ordered a full order of chips and salsa. That is extra. It was $6 for a full order ($5 for half) and these chips were well worth the cost. We will be back!

Before my guest even arrived, I was told the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes, which made it impossible to plan or order properly for both of us. About 30 minutes after being seated, the waitress asked to close out my tab and mentioned they were closing an hour and a half early, something that should have been communicated when I walked in so I could have chosen to go elsewhere. To make things worse, about 10 minutes before closing, they turned the lights all the way up and shut the music off, which made it very clear we were being pushed out. No one came by to offer boxes for our food (I had more than half my meal left), and my guest didn't even get to finish her drink. We were essentially rushed out before the already early closing time, with no proper send-off. Overall, the experience felt very unprofessional and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.
