The asada fries are SO bomb.com I can't express my love for this restaurant so much. It's amazing and the service is amazing the employees are so awesome and their social media skits are HILARIOUS! read more

I did enjoy that this place offers drive-thru and the service is quick. I ordered the carne asada fries, but it was average in taste, came topped with guacamole (had a kick, my kid couldn't enjoy it), pico, jalapeños, fries that were not salted, and scarce amount of carne asada. The horchata was decent; nice and light not thick like other horchatas I've had in the past. I also asked for green and salsa, received neither. read more

So-Cal Tamal - Carne Asada Fries - Tacos Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Long time taco and burrito lover born in East Los Angeles, I know decent food! So-Cal is a great Bako 5 star burrito and taco dive that prepares everything fresh and delicious every time you visit. I usually order their tamales but yesterday I lucked out by accident and it was Taco Tuesday! You have to try all Anthony's salsas too, the tacos were amazing! One tip, it's made fresh so be patient and enjoy his cool staff! read more

Everything was just okay, from the service to the food. The service was not the best because they seemed to rush and be impatient. I also didn't seem like they had the cleanest environment. The food was good but not great. Also got short changed. Not my favorite experience. read more

Shitty service and shitty food. Save your time and go to La villa if you want something like this but better quality and not over salted. I've gave this place chance after chance and it's always a 0/10. read more

I've been coming to SoCal Tamale for about two years, and I'm really disappointed to say that I won't be returning. Over the past few months, the quality of the food has noticeably gone downhill. What used to be fresh and enjoyable just hasn't been the same. On top of that, the customer service has been lacking, and the location itself has not felt clean during recent visits. We've also had repeated issues with our orders being incorrect. At first, we thought it might be the drive-thru, so we started going inside instead, but unfortunately the same problems continued. The last three visits all required us to go back and fix mistakes, which shouldn't be happening this often. It's honestly disappointing because when this place first opened, the food was really good and felt like something special. I know there's pride behind the brand, which is why this decline stands out even more. I hope this location can get back to the quality and service it once had. read more

The ambiance is cheerful, clean and good location to eat inside or drive through. read more

Food quality has gone down. Service was cool. Portions of meat are non existent. I got a bowl with carne asada which had no Carne asada. Won't be back read more

Just got this maybe 30 minutes ago. 2/10 deadass. Meat lacked flavor. Overpowered the taco with sauce. Ordered tamales and when we arrived they had already ran out so they offered "free" tacos, & then forgot to give us our free tacos which weren't free because we paid for 3 tamales. read more

My family decided to come here for breakfast this morning while the limited time 50% deal is still going through today. The music is still way too loud for the cashier to hear my order correctly. The communication isn't great because of how easy it is for them to mishear customers. It's hard to have a conversation while dining at the restaurant in general. Awesome... my brother and I asked for two orders of the 2 Birria Muffin Combo to go. We had to repeat ourselves like 3 times to make sure our order was heard correctly and when we got home it was still wrong. Also, we were charged full price for all breakfast items despite the promo. Cool. read more

best taco Tuesday special in town quality food not some boof food its actually pretty good and price is definitely worth it. !

the food is amazing! the asada fries are me and my husbands favorite because it's so big and super affordable. the service is good, sometimes they take forever if you're in the drive thru but not too crazy. i recommend this place read more

I ordered an asada bowl and when I got home with my drive thru order the bowl had no meat at all. I called them and the guy I spoke with said they could put us down for a free bowl the next time I went. I just went to get my bowl and the guy refused to honor what was told to us because they could only honor that for 2 days. Nobody ever told us that. Its unfortunate that they are the ones that carelessly mess up your order, and then they refuse to give you what they promised. Sure won't be going there again. read more

For the past 3 years, I've always had the best experiences here, but today was very different. I ordered a country burrito breakfast special combo with an iced coffee in drive thru. The girl said "Iced coffee is an additional $3 and we don't have enough of the house coffee." How do you have iced coffee but not regular coffee? Isn't it just coffee on top of ice? But when I pulled up to the window the girl was annoyed and assumed we drove away. She gave an attitude and seemed so confused on what she was doing. She took our order again and said there's coffee now. She made us park and wait 10 minutes. The staff there have always been extremely friendly and outgoing and I love supporting small businesses in town. However, today was just completely different. read more

We order from SoCal every four to six weeks I would say. The food is consistently good and the service at the window is always friendly. And (if you remember my review from last year) their menu board has also improved. Tonight my wife and I had carne asada bowls with "creamy sauce" (creamy cilantro dressing). I've never had their bowls before. Great balance of flavors and they didn't skimp on meat in favor of the rice... and the rice was fluffy! Absolutely delicious!!! Son had a trio burrito which he loved (and devoured) and we "shared" (I had a few bites and he ate the rest!) their loaded asada fries. Fantastic!!! I highly recommend!! read more

Love the food here! I've genuinely never had a bad experience with the food quality. Honestly, I've never had a bad experience at all... until tonight. We just had the worst drive-thru experience with an employee named Yesenia. She was extremely rude, cut us off mid-sentence, and even shut the window while we were still talking. At first I thought maybe we came off wrong, but we checked our dash cam footage when we got home just to be sure... and no, we were completely respectful. Her attitude was unprovoked and unnecessary. It's disappointing because this location usually gets it right, but customer service like that is unacceptable. Hoping management addresses it, because everything else here has always been great. read more

I've gone quite a bit of times however the last 3 visits have been bad. Twice I've gone to get a tamale and they are old. Dried up & hard tamales aren't good. One day I went and got the 3 taco lunch special. Dried up carne asada. Tortillas hard around the edges. So sadly I won't be back serving old food is not cool. read more

Hands down my favorite taco spot in Bakersfield. Service is fast and everything always tastes fresh. Came on taco tuesday where tacos are only $1 around 10am and everything was hot and fresh. Not photo'd but the churro and horchata is always such a perfect pair with the tacos. 10/10 for the tripas tacos. read more

At this point, I'm tired of y'all. I will no longer do business with you guys. You guys lie you ask people if they want homemade or regular tortillas and then you give them homemade tortillas after they tell you they don't want homemade tortillas.Your customer service sucks you're stingy with the sauce. I don't know what's going on with y'all business but it's going down me and my family used to love coming here. Something has changed drastically though and I don't like it. I will no longer do business with you guys. read more

This place has been my favorite for years! The last couple months my orders have either been wrong or they told include basic things like salsa for street tacos. The asada on my most recent order was so burnt I couldn't eat it. Really disappointing! read more

The front end lady was rude , disrespectful and unprofessional. It's unfortunate because the food is good. But employee like the one in the front taking the orders needs to be empathetic , patient and respectful and most importantly professional . I hope she is retrained and talked to about her customer service. She should be grateful to have a job ! Horrible experience .....

The food is amazing here! This time I got a street dog, bacon wrapped and deep fried with grilled onions and peppers. Pastor tacos are my favorite, I tried the carnitas for the first time and the flavor was pretty good just wished they would have seared it a little to get crispy and put some of their special seasoning on it. read more
