This place might have the best fish tacos in Bakersfield! I was introduced to Los Tacos de Huicho by a group of friends that would come here late into the night when their cravings hit. Los Tacos de Huicho was always the thing that hit the spot. I've been coming ever since. It feels like a hole in the wall spot; a bit out of the way from the downtown area, but it's definitely a hidden gem. Dining is a straightforward process. You walk up to the counter, pick your meat of choice (they have so many options!!) and how you'd like it (as a taco, burrito, etc.). Like I said, their fish tacos are the way to go, but I make sure to order an assortment to keep it interesting. They give you a receipt and will call your number. Seating is spacious with plenty of seating inside & outside in their beautiful patio area. Don't worry about missing your number being called. They have a speaker that goes to the patio area. When you get your tacos, if you're like me, you might want to load it up with all the toppings. And what's so awesome is that they have a toppings bar, so you can fill up your tacos with onions, cilantro, lemon, radishes, jalapeños, mild or hot sauce, etc. I always know I'm getting a great meal when I come here. And I'm getting hungry just looking back at the pictures! If you haven't been, you need to try them out! read more

The food is solid here. I tried their fish tacos, regular tacos, and sopas! I would recommend not getting al pastor because it was really oily. We went during peak lunch time, but service was pretty quick! read more

Los Tacos De Huicho - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

When I first moved to Bakersfield, I struggled to find good Mexican food. All the places I was taken to left much to be desired. Finally, I was brought to Los Tacos De Huicho. The quest was over. The best Tacos in Bakersfield had been found. Its quick service as you are able to walk up to the counter and then go chill till your number is called. Once it's called you can enjoy your food inside or outside. Both are great choices but let's be real. Where you sit is up to the weather. read more

Taco Tuesday..... what I love about Yelp is we as reviewers don't get paid free food to say a place is good, we support the business and give honest reviews. I ordered two fish tacos, two queso tacos, and it was so good. It's been a while since I been here, honestly idk why it took me so long to come back. I would say this is the place to have some awesome food, great flavor and options. read more

I was out on a Friday running errands on my day off and at 2pm I was hit with hunger, I was downtown thinking what could I stop to get for a snack? A pastry? Ugh lots of sugar. A coffee? A little too late for me for caffeine. Then it hit me, street tacos are the perfect snack size. So I headed to huichos. I got 4 tacos, 2 carne asada & 2 al pastor. The Al pastor was so juicy and yummy! Highly recommend and carne asada was good too but next time I'll get 4 al pastor. I had my tacos with 4 mins after ordering and sat inside to enjoy my snack. Lots of open seating inside and out! My 4 tacos were $13 I feel like a new level was unlocked realizing that tacos are the perfect afternoon snack and about the same price as a coffee and small pastry these days! read more

Los Tacos De Huicho - 2 carne asada tacos and 2 al pastor tacos - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

New owners, I thought it would be better. Today I was in here to get a $13 asada burrito, and a couple of pastor tacos. Tacos were OK, the burrito was more than 50% white rice. Rice has got to be the cheapest item in the restaurant. Such a crappy burrito, there is not enough sauces available to make a 50% rice burrito decent. It was almost $25 for this lunch, that is sit down prices for substandard food. A rip off place for sure. read more

In town and was craving tacos so I found this place . The tacos had good flavor and was great the price was a bit for me for a taco when compared with the portion on the taco ,service was great they grilled some onions for me on the side that was a plus on the the service friendly staff. The ambiance was great and spacious the outside was good The inside had a bar and area to enjoy yourself so they have a great place here I would come again to give it another try I do recommend if looking for a quick taco craving read more

Glad to be working back downtown! My favorite taco joint is still serving up that good ol' street tacos with the same taste as I remember them! Can't go wrong with Al pastor tacos and this place serves up the best in my book. Never mind the sketch location, Los Tacos De Huicho has a great open dining room with plenty of seats. The best place about this place is the condiment bar. There are 3 salsas to choose from, and did I say, still same great taste from 10 years ago?! The pickled red onions and the blistered Serrano chilis are always a must! Coming here next time for the flautas and maybe some sopes! Muy delicioso! read more

Chat GPT recommended it. We were skeptical at first but the food was great, service was solid. The birria taco was my favorite!!

They have very fast service. Their tacos are very flavorful, but the fish tacos are my favorite!

I have been dining here for 20+ years. This hole in the wall has been a go-to for me due to familiarity and loyalty to support local businesses. There have been minor issues & inconveniences that I have always overlooked but decided tonight that there was no longer a reason to continue supporting a business that does not seem to show appreciation for their customers. It is understandable that food costs and expenses have increased so I don't mind paying more, however, with so many local options; food quality, service, and ambiance must be considered. Food: On a good day 4/5 stars **** Service: The young girl is very friendly, most of the staff is polite, except when their boss (the older woman) is present. They seem to be afraid of her. She is often brash, not very friendly nor welcoming. She alone reduces service to ** 2/5 stars. Ambiance: Nothing particularly special. Tables & hard uncomfortable chairs with an outdoor patio. Usually a diverse crowd. *** 3/5 stars Needs improvement: Cleanliness, freshness (salsa bar), napkins are thin 1ply kept next to cash register, no utensils, expected to eat everything with hands, tiny 1oz. salsa cups 1 allowed or $1.50 ea. when boss lady is around. Overall: Drive through quality, with full restaurant prices. Not worth the price nor inconvenience. read more

I consider this one of the TOP OG taco spots in Bakersfield. They have been here for 35-40+ years and any they have been serving truly amazing and authentic Mexican food. My family has been coming here since then and the consistency has always been great. Just recently I stopped by for a couple tacos, a sope and some rice and beans. Menu is the same it has always been, great variety with really amazing prices. To top it off, the portions are HUGE here for the price. The star of the show for me has always been their fish tacos. They are battered and cooked to perfection and the flavor is AMAZING. The taco of chile verde was also great, so much flavor. Rice and beans tasted great and very authentic. The sope I also tried was also GREAT. I kid you not, everything I had was a 10 out of 10. Anthentic Mexican food at its finest. Overall, beyond pleased with my meal. Already can't wait to come back and visit them again. Thank you Huichos for being consistently great and feeding my family after all these years. You guys are great! Make sure if your in the area, you check these guys out. You defenitly won't regret coming on by. read more

I tried the fish and chile verde tacos and my husband had the carne asada, all were delish, rice was ok, beans were fire. I will definitely be back for the fish tacos as they were the best I've had in Bakersfield. read more

Wish I had a good memory because if I did, I would remember the first time I ate here and I wouldn't have been back. I apologize if I come off as a food critic, but I'm not. I'm just a fatty. So I'm a huge critic of a taco place's taco meat (flavor, texture, and grade) and the total pricing of the food experience I and those with me have, and the salsa. First off, this place has no taco Tuesday specials; not a big deal, but a slight disappointment. I do feel like the tacos are reasonably priced, but not reasonably priced for what I received (asada & Al pastor tacos). The amount of meat on these tacos leaves me bothered along with the flavor and texture. When there are multiple bites with hard textured fat in the meat; I'm done. I can't eat it anymore. I'm grossed out. The salsas have great flavors which make me more sad they didn't have great meat to pair it with. My wife did enjoy her fish tacos and the flavor. No complaints from her other than no Taco Tuesday! read more

Dropped in for a quick bite on a Saturday afternoon. Initially we were looking to eat downtown, but after impatiently searching for a spot elsewhere we settled on here. I have been here in the past but it's been years. We must've arrived at just the right time because shortly after ordering the line quickly grew. They offer a nice selection of meat, but at the same time I found it kind of strange that while they offer different types of meat that they also don't offer chicken. I went with a standard order of tacos of carne asada and tripas. The carne asada is kind of a different texture that I was used to. Instead of nicely diced bits of carne asada it was almost minced, very small bits but nevertheless good flavor. The tripas also had a good flavor but was very dry too. I'm not sure if the prices have changed significantly over the years but I don't remember it being so pricey, I would even say way overpriced. Almost 3$ a taco (which isn't unreasonable) but keep in mind these are mini street tacos that aren't even dressed. 3$ for meat and a tortilla I also ordered a carne asada burrito with no rice. This was a sad and deflated burrito. You would think for almost 10$ you could get full burrito. No, a loosely wrapped burrito that was clearly lacking contents to even fill it. The flavor is on point here but the price to quality / quantity food ratio here is way off. Beware when you pay. It seems a bit shady of a business to offer the option of ApplePay without telling customers they will be charged extra to use it. read more

A lot of reviews mention the service being poor. I couldn't care less. You walk up to the counter place an order and wait for it to be called. It's delicious, fresh, and consistent. If you can't figure out the incredibly simple layout then there's something wrong with you. Next door is a Mexican restaurant that you can go to if you want full service. Don't let the entitled silly reviews deter you this place is great and obviously get the fish tacos. They do party platters too! read more

Great food! Love the tacos and the hot sauce bar is amazingly fresh. I always enjoy the tacos carne asada. read more

The food was really good, but the service could definitely be better. We ordered at the register and sat down since we were dining in, but when our food was ready, instead of bringing it to our table, the employee just called out "your food is ready," so we had to grab it ourselves. Not a big deal--every restaurant has their own system--but still a bit impersonal. My food was served on a paper plate, and when I asked for a to-go container (since the portions were generous), I was told they don't use boxes--only clear plastic bags. The employee insisted on wrapping my food in a bag and tying it up. Overall, I didn't care much for the service, but the food itself was worth trying. read more

I have been coming to this spot for years and I hope they stick around. They literally have the BEST FISH TACOS in Bakersfield. If you haven't been here then you need to come. Is it in a sketchy area, um yeah kinda. But all the best taco spots are! My husband LOVED the pastor tacos and he is extremely picky. Keep serving up the great food! read more

Amazing food! These were the best damn fish tacos I've had. Outdoor seating area was really nice as well. Fully covered. Great service and staff. read more

My favorite place to get Tripas! Super crispy and flavorful! Very quick service. I love the self serve sauce and ingredients bar. If you need it to go, they can wrap it for you after you add your stuff. They give large watercups if needed. Try their shrimp tacos too ^^ read more

Amazing fish tacos! 10/10!!! I was worried they would be overhyped but they were outstanding. The fish was well seasoned, the coleslaw provided freshness, and that sauce just rounded it out so well. I can't really go for fish tacos anywhere else. I'd need to search for competition. They have an odd way of giving away take out. They air out a plastic bag and place your plate of tacos inside. The inflated bag stops the plastic from touching and smearing your food. Very smart haha. read more

The tacos were lacking a little bit of flavor, the portions were a little small for the price. Place was clean indoors. Outdoor had cat poop next to the patio & it smelled bad. We ordered a shrimp taco and got fish but staff were nice enough to replace it. Staff was helpful & professional. I wouldn't recommend the food due to the price read more

Best fish tacos and great prices. Fast service and clean environment. Staff is friendly

Four fish tacos and a small horchata was my order. Overall Los Tacos De Huicho are a legit five star Mexican joint. I very much enjoyed my fish tacos and they offer a nice, comfortable dinning section. Customer service was on point too. Very friendly people working here. read more

Best fish tacos in town. Been going here for many years. Very friendly staff as well.

Always solid tacos. I usually end up going with the carne asada as the Al pastor isn't the best.

Was passing through Bakersfield and found this restaurant. Service was good and the food was amazing. Had the burritos and tacos. Would come back if passing through Bakersfield again! read more

The food is great but they need to add napkin dispensers on the tables, not just a stack next to the register that you need to grab yourself. The salsa station is in the wrong place between the door and the ordering counter. They also don't have small plastic containers for the salsa, you have to just pour your salsa on your food after you've picked it up, and go back with your plate if you need more. read more

Los Tacos De Huicho - Fish tacos mmmmmmm - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Tempted by the good reviews of this restaurant I decided to give it a try and order their fish tacos. This turned out to be quite a disappointment, maybe I ordered the wrong thing but they weren't the Baja-style fish tacos like the ones in Mexico or Los Angeles... just tasteless fried fish with cabbage. Surely there must be better places in Bakersfield, I will keep looking. Strangely, they do not post the food prices on their wall menu so later I found out I could have had a similar meal at the Local Fish Grill (and better tasting) for about half the money. read more

Great food, good service and very clean, nice environment my wife got the shrimp taco and pasta. She said they were super good. I got the Flantas and Asada taco both were delicious. read more

you should sell that restaurant to someone can manage a business better that provide a good customer service , hire a chef to improve their food . all their dishes looks n tastes nasty . and over pricey . i paid 43 dollars for two tacos , a breakfast burrito n huevos rancheros . they served and paper plates , wrapped with plastic bags instead or foil paper to keep food warm , no napkins , no utensils n the woman the owner very rude n charge $75 per salsa . first time there n wont never comeback . what a waste of money . 43 dollars went to trash read more

This is one of mine and my boyfriend's favorite taco spots in town. This is a quick service restaurant. You stand in line to order and they have a salsa bar with a wide variety of salsas and topping for your tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and nachos. My favorite salsa is the creamy green salsa because it's so spicy and so flavorful. I definitely recommend this place to everyone for a quick bite or a late night bite after some drinks in downtown Bakefsfield. This is a casual and fun spot for friends to gather! read more
