    Steak Tacos / chicken Posole
    Laura G.

    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.

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    Excellent Margarita
    Alice A.

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    Guava Margarita
    Maria M.

    Food - incredible, service - excellent, drinks - DELICIOUS!!! Traveled to Bakersfield for work and wanted a relaxing place for dinner. This place is small in the front, sat outside to enjoy the evening. Great ambiance. Ordered the guava margarita. Best decision ever. Absolutely delicious. Started with the queso fundido which was creamy and savory. Really enjoyed my carne asada plate. Staff was really nice and attentive. Will absolutely go back!

    Tacos plate: 1 chicken and 1 beef

    Great service and great food.. Chips and salsa good... tacos plate I recommend this place.. my first time. Now I know why Yelp reviews so good.

    Joseph W.

    Amazing food and service. The waitress was simply the best and went above and beyond. The food was exceptional and we even got to go food since it was so good.

    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… Read more

If you love breakfast foods, you definitely can't go wrong by going here. I always struggle with what to choose because everything is so good! If you have a sweet tooth, the B-N-W waffle which has banana, Nutella, and walnuts for the toppings would be a great choice. The chilaquiles with any choice of meat is incredibly flavorful and one of my favorites on the menu. I also appreciate their extensive drinks menu as you can choose anything from a michelada to a latte. At this specific downtown location, the service is always great. The servers are friendly, attentive, and always make sure you're satisfied with your food/drinks.

We never been here so we just picked randomly on the menu! We got their Three Flight Mimosas with Original, Cranberry, & Strawberry. They were pretty good and refreshing. We also got the Banana and Berry Pancakes and made it a combo to get eggs and sausages in the side, the "Hot Mess" which is two pancakes, a waffle, a chicken, French toast, and an egg stacked on top of one another, and potatoes on the side! The food was amaaazing. Shout out to the chefs today because there was absolutely nothing wrong with the food. Seasoning was great, cooked great, it was filling, pancakes were soft, it hit the spot! And our waitress Crystal was the sweetest. She was doing a great job taking care of us and many others in the dining room. It was also kept clean, the employees made sure to clean up ASAP when someone left, they're all working hard. 10/10 experience.

The vibes in the new space are absolutely immaculate. There is so much more energy here, and the decorations are incredibly cute. It's the perfect backdrop for a killer meal. The Main Event: This time around, I went with the En Fuego Burger. This beast is loaded with a chile-spiced beef patty, pepperjack, sharp cheddar, thick-cut bacon, chipotle mayo, pepper relish, pickled jalapeños, and a mountain of fried jalapeños + onion strings. The Flavor Profile: This burger delivers on every level, but those fried onion strings were to die for. For the side, I got the sweet potato fries, which are served as big, thick-cut wedges. They come paired with a duo of spicy ketchup and a marshmallow dipping sauce. Switching between the two was amazing, the marshmallow sauce actually makes the fries feel like a dessert. The Drink: To wash it all down, I ordered the basil lemonade, and omg, I need to figure out how to recreate this at home. It's exactly what it sounds like, crisp, refreshing lemonade with a perfect herbal basil finish. The Verdict: If you loved their old spot, the new location takes everything to the next level. Between the upgraded atmosphere, the dessert-like fries, and that refreshing lemonade, I will absolutely be coming back here again and again.

    We were so excited to visit Moo Creamery's new location, especially since we've enjoyed dining…read morethere many times before. Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark from start to finish. I immediately noticed that my favorite dish, the shakshuka eggs, was no longer on the menu. Thinking it might just be a seasonal change, I decided to try something different. I ordered the carrot ginger soup, beet and goat cheese salad, and my usual favorite cocktail, the Pear Necessities. The cocktail was the first disappointment. It tasted completely different from what I've come to enjoy, none of the smoky mezcal flavor and none of the sweetness from the pear liquor that made it a favorite. I figured it might just be a new bartender and tried to brush it off. The carrot ginger soup was just okay. I found myself searching for both the carrot and ginger flavors, neither of which really stood out. The beet and goat cheese salad was fine, but it's hard to get too excited about a salad. Overall, the food felt subpar compared to what I've come to expect from Moo Creamery. The restaurant itself was also surprisingly loud, making conversation difficult and adding to the overall frustration. It was hard to get our waitress's attention throughout the meal, and service felt disjointed. The most disappointing moment came when we noticed my son's chicken strips and fries sitting on the counter for 13 minutes before they were finally brought to our table. By then, it was difficult not to question whether the food was still as fresh and hot as it should have been. We came in excited to experience the new location, but between the noisy atmosphere, inattentive service, and food that didn't live up to Moo Creamery's usual standards, we left feeling disappointed. Sadly, I probably won't be returning. It's hard to justify giving it another try when there are so many other restaurants in town that consistently deliver quality food, service, and a better overall dining experience.

    SMITTENS STAPLE IS THEIR ABILITY TO MISS THE FLAVOR IN EVER SINGLE DISH…read more Update: coming back after some palate development... smitten is one of the most tasteless restaurants in town. Their hype was definitely due to the 'aesthetic'. Nothing is really outstanding to me. The drinks are such a let down, the coffee is borderline yuck.. do not recommend. Everything is quite unmemorable. Service is whatever, sometimes mid, sometimes bad. Nothing outstanding. Ambiance.... well... this one has been replicated one too many times. The food is heavily missing flavor,the hummus is disgusting. I can't believe they call that thing hummus, it's an insult to actual dish.. it's almost like it was trying to imitate the real dish, but failed terribly in even attempting to. Their pizza tasted like play-doh and looked very pale. Smitten is at least consistent with one thing, which is their staple: no flavor. One of the breaking points for me was being served food that had someone's HAIR. The restaurant is very expensive for the poor experience they have to offer. I stopped recommending them a long time ago.
