I was asking around for where to get some good fried catfish in Bakersfield and was recommended…read morethis place by a friend. The Fresco Meat Market is located behind the Fresco Mexican Grill. There's not a huge parking lot, but I've never had an issue. People usually pop in and out. It's pretty standard little market, where you can find tons of meat options! As soon as you walk in you can smell them. Their slogan is "You Buy. We Fry." So the frying part is free of charge! Aside from their meat counter, they have several aisles of canned goods and snacks. There's also fresh fruits at the back. I love getting a cold drink while waiting for them to fry the fish. The fish comes out smelling good and tasting fantastic. Highly recommend!

This Bakersfield location was very spacious and super clean inside, with all sorts of selection and deals for high quality stuff like hair/body care items, over the counter health items, and of course food. Service is friendly and staff seemed to be in good spirits working as a team. Happened to come across this location while needing to charge the car in the morning. The last Grocery Outlet store I went to was in Redwood City (CA) a few years ago and that store looked pretty bad, but whoever owns and operates this Bakersfield location should be commended!

The apple fritter contains walnuts and I wasn't informed of that. Most apple fritters do not contain nuts. My co worker had to use her epi pen. When I called the store the young sounding girl couldn't have cared less, she stated very matter of factly that all smiths apple fritters have walnuts, as if someone who has never purchased one would know that. I called just to let them know to inform their customers but it fell Upon deaf ears... so buyer beware if you have a walnut allergy.

This review is strictly for their little Mexican food stand they got going out front…read more We just moved in up the street and their pretty much busy every time we pass by, so we wanted to see what all the hype was about... It's a pretty nice and organized little set up considering it's all outdoors! Hot plates, a large griddle/grill, lots of condiments (Few different types of salsa, chopped onions and cilantro, pickled onions, and a few other things) with little cups and lids to pack them in. They even had a couple handcrafted beverages (horchatas and Jamaica's), and a couple of tables with a tent set up if you want to eat there. The cook was skilled and quick with our orders too! Very friendly guy! So, we got two chicken tacos, an asada burrito and a side of their beans. I also stocked up on some of that avocado salsa (super good and creamy), onions, pickled onions and cilantro, all was fresh! The cook got the chicken out of this cooler they have sitting right there, it's already cooked and seasoned and he just heats it up on the griddle/grill ... he pulled the asada out of this big hot plate bowl type of thing, it was marinating in some juice and super hot... He transferred that to the griddle grill and chopped it all up with one of those metal spatula things lol, he also got the rice for the burrito out of the cooler (already cooked and seasoned and just heated it up on the griddle grill)... after he assembled everything, he put it on plates with foil covering it as their to go container. Total was only 18$. So we get home and dig in... My chicken tacos were pretty good! Flavored nicely and tasted fresh, chicken was tender and I enjoyed it! 8/10 The beans were Also pretty good, they were so creamy and a little chunky, weren't bland at all, super hot and he gave me a lot of them lol, so I was happy with them. 8/10 Now the issue, my hubby's asada was SO FLAVORLESS!!! And was a bit too fatty (lots of chewy pieces he had to spit out)!! I bit his burrito and I was shocked because the meat is literally marinating in juice! It's like no one season the juice or meat! It was a huge burrito though, so my hubby ate half, (having to sprinkle salt and pepper literally on every bite just to give it some type of flavor!) and the next day, he ended up sauteing some onions, used the meat from the other half of the burrito and mixed that in with the sauteed onions, *SEASONED* it, then he cooked some fries and heated up some chili and made him some chili cheese asada fries and said it was much better! The burrito gets a 5/10 sadly. Maybe it was just an off day? Like I said their pretty much always crowded! So maybe we just came on a bad day? IDK. We MIGHT give them another go, but probably will avoid the asada next time!

I've never run into any situation where not speaking Spanish was an impediment. Things I find particularly worthwhile. Produce tends to be cheaper than most supermarkets. tomatoes, mangos and assorted fresh chiles are good values. In the fall, 'tunas' or cactus pears are available. Fresh foods - the grilled chicken is a favorite - a guilty pleasure for me is 'chicharron con carne' which is deep fried pork skin with a strip of meat attached, think a 6 inch pork rind with deep fried pork meat. Closest thing I've had to that is pork cracklins in Louisiana. Corn tortillas are freshly made. Store made mini tostadas, about 3 in in diameter are something I haven't seen around, which I prefer to the normal sized tostadas. Also, Sonoran style flour tortillas brought in from Phoenix ...so much better than the machine made flour tortillas. Common in AZ, this is the only place I've seen them in Kern County. 'Telera' bread, which is used for Mexican style sandwiches aka tortas, grab a few. This is the closest I've found to the Caribbean style soft loaves to make Cuban pressed sandwich and paninis. A individual serving of tres leches cake - not overly sweet - also tops it off.
