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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

Dry food. Horrible service. Cannot believe I called ahead 15 minutes before said they were not busy and to come right in to disgusting and over cooked food. Super disappointed as I expected a nice atmosphere here and it was loud children running around unattended. The ambiance was horrific as well as the food and staff. Nothing is clean here either I had to have them wipe my table before even sitting. Super disappointing and do not recommend to anyone who enjoys authentic Mexican cuisine. You are better off at tacos La villa. Or even Taco Bell. Don't waste your time or money here whatsoever. read more

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. read more

Wow, we were impressed. I've had several different things on the menu and been very happy with all of them. The interior is rustic and very nice. Service was quick and friendly. It's a nice mom pub place. I would recommend to give a try. read more

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. read more

First and foremost the service was good. The food was mediocre. Steak was over seasoned in the steak fajitas, it was also a small portion. Enchiladas were dry. Asked for sauce on the side. Chips and salsa were fresh. read more

I feel like we finally found a good hole in the wall Mexican restaurant that we will be coming back to. Every employee was hustling and going above and beyond for the customer. They always made sure I had a full drink and chips to snacks on. The food was delicious and good size portions. Definitely, an authentic Mexican restaurant experience. Will be recommending to others. read more

Today I tried the Sunday brunch. The food was good but they didn't have much of an option food wise the servers were being very frugal with the servings of food they gave me. Than at the end when it was time to pay I gave the server the amount that I owed plus a small tip. And he acted like I insulted him with my small tip. I think that was uncalled for I know he's in a service job where tips help them but not everyone can throw money around and give generously some of us are on a budget. read more

We found this Mexican food restaurant on Yelp passing through Bakersfield on a road trip. It was delicious and the staff were great! The chips were amazing since they were homemade.

Hector did such a good job with his service ! the service is fantastic! the chips were warm and i love when restaurants bring them out fresh like this because it brings reminders of home as if my mom freshly made some.

Had my eye on this spot for awhile now! Hubby and I finally stopped by for lunch and drinks today, and we sure are happy we did. . . Very cool vibes all around; staff was friendly and happy; customers were chill and relaxed; the place just felt welcoming and comfortable overall... We ordered the enchilada trio combo, the chicken taco combo, and a few Cadillac Margaritas, lol. Chips and salsa were immediately brought out and were very yummy.  The salsa was on point! Loved the flavor, heat level, and texture of the salsa, and the chips were warm and delicious as well. Food was freshly made and tasted so good; the chicken from the tacos was chunky, super flavorful, and tender; all three flavors of the enchiladas (salsa verde, chicken, and beef) were all outstanding.  Rice and beans had that authentic taste and were equally incredible. Everything was just cooked to perfection. The shots were generous and the margaritas strong! Really enjoyed those! The dining area was clean, but it's definitely on the small side; maybe 7-10 tables overall? I can imagine this place filling up quickly on the weekends! I also ordered an iced tea, which tasted watered down... But overall, we had a great time here! Parking can probably get tricky if it's busy in that area. Prices are normal, not cheap, but not expensive. Portions are pretty big too.  Great find! It was a pleasure, and we'll be back for sure! :) read more

A buffet is serve yourself but they had server's who hardly gave you anything. Only 3 to 4 food selection and the Menudo was all juice. Our waiter had a attitude problem when the check came he wouldn't accept the tip he wanted more. For $29 this was NOT worth it. Sorry not going back . read more

Ok so I had lunch and asked about their chilli verde. The waiter brought me a sample which was covered in free sauce and was very good. So I ordered a chili verde burrito with rice and beans for lunch. Apparently I did not really need the beans as the burrito was chocked full of beans with very little chili verse and hardly any verde sauce. I felt like it was a bean burrito as I had to tear the burrito apart to find any chili verde. Very disappointing after tasting the yummy sample. I understand that refried beans are a cheap filler for Mexican restaurants and that many restaurants do the same but there are restaurants out there that give you just chili verde when ordering a burrito. Their menu should say bean burrito with a little bit of chili verde. read more

All you can eat is terrible and cold only thing decent was the salad. Staff is nice for the most part

Finally got to try this place and it was pretty good. The beans and rice were delicious. I ordered a shredded beef taco as well and unfortunately, the shredded beef did not taste fresh. It tasted reheated and like it had been around for a few days. The chips and salsa were delicious, the salsa was very tasty and a little spicy so that was good. Not sure if I'll go back I feel that there are other places that I like better. The restaurant is cozy and is located in downtown Bakersfield. The service was professional and attentive, and the food came out quick. Sadly, I forgot to take pictures because I was hungry! Enjoy! read more

After seeing the reviews of this restaurant and even though I was in Tehachapi, I chose to make the 45 minute drive because I was really in the mood for some good Mexican food. This place absolutely did not disappoint. Inside was very clean and inviting and the Staff were just absolutely lovely and very friendly. I ordered the queso and chorizo appetizer, which was amazing. For my main meal, I ordered the garlic butter shrimp with a side of rice and beans. The shrimp were cut into little pieces which I appreciated because it made eating these tacos easier than when other establishments put whole shrimp in the taco. The quality of the shrimp was exceptional, and the butter garlic sauce was not over the top with garlic flavor, but suited the shrimp well. I have to say the best bite I had was taking a bite of the queso, the rice and beans and the shrimp. If you're in town or close enough to make the drive, I would say you would be very happy with the service and the food at this great Mexican restaurant read more
