    I must say I have not been wowed in a while. I was craving ceviche and we were passing through Bakersfield. Well. Not really but we did not mind the going out of our way. I was so impressed I want to come back and try more of their food. My daughter has the tostada de Ceviche. This ceviche is like homemade. This is not your regular minced fish. You get actual chucks of fish. It was fresh and the ratio with the veggies was perfect. I had the enchilada plate. It was seriously scrumptious. Another fellow yelper described this place with this word. I thought it was an exaggeration, but he was right. The mariscos poblanos were also so good. On top of the food being just fenomenal the service was outstanding.

    Chips and salsa

    This is great spot in downtown. We were quickly seated. I felt like this is a hidden gem. Not a bunch of frazzle. Just great tasting food. The food was great. Full of flavor. Both entrees were hot. No cold food here. The waitress checked on us several times and was very polite. I highly recommend trying this place out if you're looking for great authentic tasting Mexican food.

    These are great proportionate size meals , these are appetizers. This place is a great choice for a heavy meal . Amazing staff , great service and a wonderful restaurant over all.

    Aguachile Negro

    We visited Nuestro Mexico for the first time tonight and had a wonderful dinner. We started with the Aguachiles Negros, which had a wonderful sauce with a perfect balance of lime and spice. For my main plate I had the Enchilada Trio. There was one enchilada each of chile verde, suiza, and beef ranchero. I really enjoyed all three. My wife had a dish recommended by our waiter called Mariscos Poblanos, which was a plate of shrimp and fish in a poblano cream sauce. She absolutely loved it. On top of the food the restaurant itself is great. It's a small, warm, and colorfully decorated little restaurant with a nice looking front patio along the street. Everyone who worked there was very welcoming and our waiter checked in on us multiple times, while also making recommendations and telling us more about the restaurant. We really enjoyed dinner and we'll definitely be back.

    On our way home from Paso Robles, we stopped in Bakersfield for lunch. So glad we chose Nuestro Mexico restaurant! Exceptional staff welcome you in immediately and give you top notch attention, bringing you extra salsa and napkins without even being asked. The posole is the best I've ever had in a restaurant! My husband really enjoyed the steak fajitas which included nopales in the grilled vegetables. The chips and salsa were tasty as well! My husband's Cafe de Olla was so delicious, accompanied with a yummy Conchita pan dulce. Highly recommend!!

    We love this place and eat here often. We attend church downtown and appreciate that Nuestro is open on Sundays. They are so welcoming. Some of the staff date back to La Costa days and are so familiar to us. The food is very good. My typical choice is the flautas, shredded beef and sometimes chicken. I can't stop eating the chips and salsa and their margaritas are decent. My husband always orders the pollo en mole. He says it is the best. Seriously, he never orders anything other than the mole. The restaurant is quaint. You feel as though you have stumbled on a hidden gem. Some may call it a hole in the wall. They have worked to provide a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. Not a lot of frills, but it's colorful and you are well cared for.

    Yeas later still consistently delicious and authentic. Nuestro makes the patron feel at home and transports you to Mexico with its use of color, texture, and depth throughout the establishment. The food is amazing, we know this, but it's the quality service and ambiance that stands out after so many 5 star reviews, awards, and authentic cuisine. Thanks Nuestro. We will always come back.

    Party Decorations

    We had our sons 18th birthday/ graduation dinner party and couldn't have asked for better. The owner was great and worked with us on exactly what we needed. The back party room fit perfectly for our 25 guests. We chose package B for the buffet options. Drinks were not included but the pricing was reasonable. If you're looking for an intimate place for a small gathering this is the perfect spot! Food was amazing and the staff were great!

    This is a very charming little treasure on the East Side. The moment you walk in, you are struck by all the beautiful Mexican art works on the wall. The owner is an art collector, he enthusiastically showed off his art collection to me. What a sweet guy. The waitress was sweet and kind as well. The food came very quickly. I am a massive fan of Mexican seafood. I started the seafood ceviche appetizer. It is light, tangy, refreshing, delicious. With the waitress' recommendation, I had the chile verde seafood as the main course. It is a mixture of shrimp, fish, and scallops. The seafood was tender, soaked up the delicious chile verde sauce. It tastes shockingly like bouillabaisse to me. Overall loved the food. Need to come back and try more dishes.

    This is a great place to go before an event in Bakersfield. Service is fast and food yummy. I wasn't hungry before our show at the Fox, so I got a kids meal with a cheese quesadilla. I only ate two strips of it. My friend enjoyed their enchilada meals. Our drinks were filled as soon as they were empty. Great customer service! 6/23/25

    Pastor Tacos
    Tony D.

    We had heard all the buzz about Nuestro Mexico, so we stopped in for lunch on our way to back to LA. The service was friendly and the food was very good. I wouldn't claim the tacos are the best I've ever eaten, but I will definitely be back next time I am in the area. We ate plenty of churros, chips and pastor tacos.

    Chicken chile Colorado rice and beans plate
    Stella B.

    Went in for lunch, we chose one of the lunch specials. Service was great and the place was clean and well decorated. Chips and salsa are tasty. Both of our meals were brought out in a nice amount of time after ordering. The pork in the chile verde burrito was great not too spicy. My 1st time trying their chicken chile Colorado and I enjoyed it. Decent lunch prices too, so this is a great spot.

    Very nice service, chips and salsa are yummy. I love the decorations and colors they used throughout the restaurant.

    Is your Sunday brunch all you can eat?

    Yes

    Is the patio area dog friendly?

    Yes it's dog friendly

    Do they have breakfast or brunch options?

    Yes we have breakfast options

    I have a food allergy to Canola/Rapeseed oil. Does Nuestro use this oil in the foods? Can I eat tacos and rice with my allergy?

    Yes we used it in some items

    What's full of flavor and filling?

    Everything is filling if you order enough of it... but you're not going to walk out spending less than $10-20 on yourself just to get "full". I ordered their rack of lamb, spent way to much and left hungry, never again will I return to this place… 

    Are the lunch specials from 11-2 available on the weekend too?

    No they are only available monday to Friday

    Is there mariachis on Saturday nights?

    None, when we have been there on Saturday nights.

    A Delicious Stop After the Farmer's Market!…read more Stopped by Mas Bella after the farmer's market and had such a great meal! We started with three drinks: the Tullum Bloom, Strawberry Margarita, and Strawberry Lemon Drop. All three were delightfully fruity and refreshing, making it hard to pick a favorite! For food, we ordered the birria bao buns, shrimp bao bun, chile relleno, crispy beef taco with refried beans and rice, and camarones with refried beans and soft tortillas. The birria bao bun was my absolute favorite! The mini bao is packed with flavorful birria, and I absolutely loved the consommé they serve alongside it for dipping. It's such a fun combination, and that consommé takes the bao to another level. I also really enjoyed that they make their salsas in-house. They served both a verde and a roasted red salsa with the buns, and both were delicious. The chile relleno was another standout. That melted, cheesy goodness inside was everything you want from a chile relleno! The crispy beef taco was an unexpected winner. It was served with what seemed to be the same delicious birria-style beef, so it was instantly a favorite. The crispy shell paired perfectly with the tender, flavorful meat. The camarones with soft tortillas were also really good. The shrimp were well seasoned, and the soft tortillas made them perfect for building little tacos.

I couldn't really taste the difference between the Paloma and the margarita ‍. The place is decorated really nice but what they should've focused on was making agood food. I'm so glad I only ordered appetizers because had I ordered food I would've wasted so much money. Birria tacos simply taste like red beef tacos, no real authentic flavor. Shrimp skewers I was told was okay but even that had more veggies than actual shrimps. The rice wasn't cooked all the way. The presentation on nachos was excellent but the nachos were gross. No flavor in guacamole. Beans were plain beans bland af. The chicken wasn't seasoned and had an awful charbroiled taste, just awful! The salsa weren't spicy or tasty. I can only recommend this place for a good happy hour spot because prices are outrageous for drinks. Once again they should've focused on the food than the decor.

After taking our time, we ordered the chicken quesadilla, nacho fries, and a California burrito, along with salsa verde, chubbie salsa, and chipotle salsa. The food? Incredible. A solid 10/10.

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!

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.

Los Tacos de Huicho was always the thing that hit the spot. I've been coming ever since.

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!
