    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!!

    Excellent Margarita

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    Wow. What a treat. A trip that started from Colorado and heading to Monterey CA my son and I found ourselves in Bakersfield CA at lunch time and hungry. Relying on my fellow Yelpers we decided to try Nuestro Mexico restaurant. We were extremely pleased. From the outside you see a cute multi- colored building that was probably a small house long ago. Being the adventurous type we entered finding an almost completely full restaurant. I was surprised as it was just noon. A lovely affable and gracious hostess greeted us with a big smile. So far so good. We were seated at a nice two top and almost immediately greeted by our server. Water delivered ( no, the the usual "sparking or still" ?) and chips and salsa, menus. I took pics of the menu and they are attached. So many choices it was hard to choose. I got chili verde enchiladas and my son got ceviche. Both were outstanding. Look, anyone can throw rice and beans on a dish, but both were made with love. No pasty, starchy lifeless beans here. These were the real deal. The enchiladas were excellent. If doing again I'd have done chicken with verde sauce. Just preference. The ceviche had tons of seafood in the dish. Maybe a more traditional sauce? Anyway, go. You will not be disappointed.

    Stopped in for a Saturday afternoon lunch. We had the chips n salsa which is complimentary, normally the salsa is great but today it needed salt. We ordered our regular which is the trio fajitas. The fajitas definitely were missing seasoning from both my wife's and my plate. The drinks we got were margaritas but didn't taste any alcohol, it was a miss kinda day I guess. At the end we were ready to pay but the waiter mixed my bill up with another bill after noticing it, it got refunded and corrected. I'm not a complainer, just happy to be able to go out and enjoy a meal but three stars for this visit.

We made a big mistake ordering peeled shrimps because the shrimps received were very small. Lesson learned, always keep the head-on for shrimps! They also skimped heavily on the sauce, which is a dealbreaker for Cajun food. The Works sauce has good flavor, but there wasn't nearly enough of it. Paying that much for so little is a bit frustrating. I've tried many different cajun seafood places and I don't think I'll be visiting here again.

The arepas were just cornmeal and cheese, without any of the other ingredients I've usually seen in the past (although they did come with a tasty green salsa).
