Hands down my favorite tacos here in Bakersfield! These tacos are made with serious bbq skills. The carne asada is cooked to perfection on the bbq, then chopped up into a fresh homemade corn or flour tortilla. The meat is BBQ'd to perfection! The tacos are loaded with meat that has a smoky bbq flavor. The salsa bar really adds a great variety of acid to go w the smokiness. Service was great! Can't wait to come Back and try new items! read more

Came by to have some tacos, I ordered two chicken tacos , one asada taco and one hot link taco which was bomb. The hot link was nice and spicy if I didn't know any better I'd say they were bar-s hot links the spicy ones. They now have extra salsas and picado along with chiles toreados which are really good. read more

The number one thing I order I'm here is the chicharrón! The best in town! And the menudo is great as well. A must try Im Bakersfield read more

Meat is grilled, corn tortillas are handmade. Tacos are good, but the music is too loud. On this occasion the meat was a little over cooked. This establishment could be a solid 5 Star if not for the loud, blaring, obnoxious music Tried out their breakfast--machaca and frijoles puercos. The machaca was moist, but tough; machaca should be drier and tender. It was as if I were chewing gum. The beans were salty. The corn tortillas were good. The order was to go, so they wrapped it up in foil paper--the frijoles spilled out and half of them were smeared on the foil. Please use takeout containers for these meals. read more

El Tecolote - Frijoles and machaca - Tacos Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This place has really good tacos it's a outside vendor behind Mr Clamato. Tacos are made outside in a firewood grill and tortillas are made fresh. Cash only drinks are in a cooler and pretty basic glass bottle. All the toppings are there in table for you to fix them up as you like. I've had the chicken tacos and carne asada meat isn't dry and not over seasoned. This Sinaloa style tacos are my favorite, try the vampiro it's yummy. Also they have flour tortillas haven't tried them but I will next time. FYI cash only. read more

Best tacos in Bakersfield hands down The customer service seems to be the main gripe in the other reviews, I am clueless as to how people could have issues. The people here are very nice. I wonder if the other reviews were people who were rude or impatient first. They cook the meat over an open fire giving it a great Smokey flavor, the meat is high quality, fresh homemade tortillas and unlimited toppings (including guacamole) I never get chicken tacos normally but the chicken here is worth a try, I actually like it best. read more

Amazing. I'm so happy to see their asadero tacos served Tuesday through Thursday at the restaurant now. Great platillos sinaloense. Delicious. My favorite, costillas con bistek. The frijol puerco is to die for. read more

I tried this place for the first time for breakfast and I was really disappointed. It's really pricey for the portions they give. $7 for a small square plate with and it's $11 with two guisados with 3 really small flour tortillas. It's to pricey and the customer service is not that good. Definitely will not return yo this place. read more

La comida muy buena ! El servicio está muy mal.. muy mal servicio.. no da ganas de regresar

The homemade tortillas and grilled meat I was excited to try this place out. The meat was good not much flavor but the salsas all disappointed not one of them had any kick to them. At 3$ a taco I expected so much more, can't see myself ever coming back. read more

We went this morning for the first time to give it a try and we were extremely disappointed. The girl taking our order was EXTREMELY RUDE. We weren't greeted and as I was telling her my order she turned around and started talking and laughing with someone who was behind the register. I had to repeat my order and waited way too long for 4 tacos. Food had no flavor to top it off. They'll definitely be losing clients with that customer service. Won't be coming back read more

Racist! This place will treat you differently if you speak only English. Got food here on cinco de mayo. My son who ate the beef tostada got food poisoning that was the only thing he ate that I didnt. Food may be good but racism is racism my son thanks you read more

I LOVED eating at this place, I have nothing bad to say about the food. Sadly, I cannot say the same about the costumer service my coworkers and I experienced last time we were there. I placed the order for the entire group. The order was taking way too long so I decided to place another order to-go, that way it would be ready by the time we finished our food. We patiently waited close to an hour for our food. At this point we figured they were taking way too long. I come up asked about the order, and I'm only given my second order. To our surprise, they claimed the first order had already been served. They proceeded to give us the tacos. While we were finally eating, the so called "manager for the night" and a male worker approached our table and very rudely accused one of my coworkers of stealing the order. We obviously defended her but the worker insisted, he had seen her taking the tacos. The male employee, literally pointed fingers at her. They claimed to have camera footage to prove it, I asked to see them. The manager refused to show any footage. They said they didn't know when the owner would be available to discuss the issue or go over the footage. They ruined a good night and meal for us after a hard day of work. It is not my intetion to cause any problems to anyone, but to let people know they were extremely disrespectful to our group for accusing us unfairly in front of other customers. read more

Horrible customer service! On Saturday my co workers and I went to eat at this restaurant. We waited more than one hour to get our food and apparently someone took there food. After getting the food the girl who took the order went to the table and asked if everything was fine we said yes. The girl along with the cook accused me of stealing tacos for which I did not. read more

Giving this place a one star is extremely generous. On Feb. 15, 2020 at around 7:30 pm my co-workers and I Arrived to this taco stand and placed an order. The order was taking longer than anticipated, and shortly after I noticed customers that arrived after us were receiving their orders. My co-worker went to ask why we hadn't received our food and the workers responded that our food had already been given to someone, which surprised us as we had not ate a single thing! After explaining that we hadn't received food the workers gave us our food still insisting that someone had taken the order. Another family also claimed that they hadn't received their food and the workers also claimed that someone took their food. We ate our food and a couple of minutes later the workers came up to us claiming they witnessed my sister stealing and eating the tacos we initially hadn't received . They claimed their security cameras caught her taking tacos, so naturally we asked to see the evidence. The workers refused and persisted on calling us thieves instead of owning up to their mistake. Very unprofessional staff, never going back and have already informed all my family and friends on never spending money at this sorry excuse of a taco stand. read more
