    Fajitas- Mix
    Carlos J.

    On our way back from Las Vegas, we decided to stop in Bakersfield and give this restaurant a try, and it was a great decision! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the shrimp, chicken, and steak fajitas, and they were really good. The alambres were also delicious. You can tell right away that the meat is good quality, and everything was very well seasoned. The only thing I would suggest and this would have made it a 10/10 would be homemade tortillas. I think that would take the experience to another level. Just a little recommendation! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back.

    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.

    Nuestro is delicious... always sumptuous and full of savor. our favorite Mexican sanctuary in bako... from the mole to the hard shell beef tacos... every bite precise with spice and soul. the flavors resonate... vivid... generous... unforgettable. mexican culture carries such warmth and vibrancy... it nourishes the spirit as much as the plate. javier is exceptionally kind... gracious... and welcoming. cada visita es un verdadero placer... siempre delicioso.

    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!!

    Aguachile Negro
    Bruce G.

    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.

    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.

    Brenda A.

    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.

    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.

    Is it the same owners? I haven't been in awhile and want to make sure it's the same

    Hi Shawna, This restaurant does have the same owners they originally had, I called and asked that question before I visited last time in August 2026.

    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.

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.
