Wow I was super impressed with my chicken quesadillas and the toppings I could add on it. I doordashed and got it with cactus, corn, chicken, onions and cheese. I had the cilantro salsa and sour cream and mild salsa on the side. It was probably the best chicken quesadilla I ever had because it was crispy on the outside and ingredients were melted/fresh in the inside. The only semi complaint is that on DoorDash I was confused when adding the toppings I thought it was me ordering it on the side like a slab of cactus and corn in a cup. So when it was put into my quesadilla I was fine with that because it was still good but sometimes with cactus it gets a little slimey. So one of my pieces had cactus slime on the tortilla and I dont like soggy things. But honestly I want to check out more stuff from here. read more

We were having our truck serviced at GMC. Victors was a walk, but worth it. The staff is exceptional. We split the Barbacoa burrito custom made to order. They split it for us. Just enough spicy for both of us. We sat outside on a very comfortable day. The place was exceptionally clean. The bathrooms were nice. This is a great place to come for consistently good food. read more

Victor's Mexican Grill - Shrimp Tostada Bowl with extra - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This is our go-to spot to as they have kid friendly meal options, vegetarian and meat options so everyone gets something at one place. Service is always great! Food is delicious, good amount of searing options and very welcoming atmosphere. Parking can be a little tricky/crowded but great place to grab a bowl, a burrito or chips with guacamole. I like that we can also order ahead for pickup. They have the vegetarian bowl which I appreciate. read more

This new place opened up by my house and decided to try it out. Has same set up like chipotle but offer more items. First time tried the arroz con pollo. Grilled and marinated chicken then covered in a nice tasty sauce with onions and peppers served on a bed of Mexican rice. Served with flour tortilla. Was more than enough to share with my wife. I also tried the asada bowl. Came with Mexican rice, pinto beans, the marinated steak, romaine lettuce, salsa, pico de gallo, onions, grilled veggies, corn salsa, cheese, guacamole, sour cream and cheese. This too was too much and had enough to share and left overs for lunch tomorrow. Place is clean and located next to a Dutch bros and flame broilers. Staff was super friendly and helpful in offering choices. Definitely will come back again. read more

We were so excited to eat at the new Panama location during the grand opening. We live just a few minutes away so it's super convenient. The food is just as good as the other locations minus they ran out of steak and we had to get one of our bowls with chicken instead. The service was good other than the girl at the cash register got confused when I handed her the right amount of money. She gave me a twenty back and said it was too much. I had put the money away and headed to my table by the time she realized I was right and came over and asked for me to give it back because she miscounted. I gave it to her but it was kind of awkward digging it back out. The place is well decorated but it was hot inside. Not sure if they turned off their AC or if it was broke but with it being 100 degrees outside and the grand opening, it would have been nice for it to be cool while we were eating there. Especially with a $105 price tag. Still, I'm a big fan of Victor's Grill and will be back to give this location another try once it's had time to adjust to being open. read more

Victor's Mexican Grill - Steak fries on sale this is big enough for like four people, and it was just me and my wife - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Food was delicious and the service was great. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

Victors was great when they first opened. Generous portions and became a regular spot for us. The last few orders, I've noticed they're getting stingy with the meat portions, when asked to add a little more (which would be a "normal" serving, they want to charge you for double) Ordered a bowl (half chicken/half barbacoa) and this was my chicken serving. Next time I'll order a vegetarian bowl. The flavor was good read more

I got a steak burrito. Everything was dry, including the meat. The salsa not even worth getting don't even try going there.

Shrimp is always great. Steak and chicken good as well. The ability to eat healthy Mexican food is a plus! Food is always great, have tried Nachos, bowls, salads. Tortillas are great. A better version of Chipotle read more

Ordered the chicken salad when it got delivered had absolutely no lettuce just rice beans vegetables and protein very disappointed

Beyond unbelievable. This is my first time visiting this restaurant. Customer service was not great. It seems employees neglect customers and talk amongst themselves which lead to errors or miscommunication between the employee and customer. What threw me off the most was the fact that the worker who was placing grilled onions in my bowl was dunked with salsa all over her gloves by her colleague. Instead of removing her gloves and throwing her gloves away her partner decided it would be a bright idea to use her hands and slide the salsa back into my bowl.......... They giggled. Makes me question the sanitation of the place. Also when asking for additional ingredients for my bowl, the worker scrapes the little bit of cilantro that was left and places 3 tiny flakes of cilantro. What she should have done was go into the back and refill the ingredients. Very unacceptable. Last time I will be visiting the location unless management properly trains staff on customer etiquette and proper food handling. read more

Amazing food and service will be coming back ! The portion sizes are fair and it's really healthy !

I love Chipotle and they are pretty similar to them. The biggest benefit is that they have more choices for protein(fish, shrimp..etc) and they have cactus as vege topping - which is different -if you don't like snotty texture though, stay away. I wish they had thick creme like Chipotle has though. The restaurant was brand new so it was pretty clean and staff was friendly. read more

Was very disappointed at this location. The food was bland, the queso was gritty and the vibes were not it. If you want a good experience, do not come to this location, visit Mt. Vernon's location instead. This place was saddening to say the very least. read more

Visited today around 11 AM & was pleasantly surprised to see it open before noon! First time visiting this restaurant and wanted to try to out because location is close to my home. Was honestly expecting a sit down restaurant yet was a pleasant surprise because my family and I were very hungry & needed food quick. Restaurant seemed very clean and I love the modern decor! I ordered the chicken bowl and the options for the bowl seemed endless! My husband ordered the steak bowl. We LOVED that Spanish rice was an option! Also, the grilled veggies and cactus were a great option as well! I loaded up my bowl and got the guacamole. We also ordered tortilla chips for our bowls. We ordered a cheese quesadilla for our toddler a la carte and he enjoyed it very much! Everything was delicious and tasty! I loved the red salsa that my husband got with the chips. The portion size for the bowls were very large and definitely would share a bowl next time with husband! The server who assembled our order was very kind and patient as she had to repeat questions because I was overwhelmed with the amount of toppings LOL! Can't wait to go back to try other items from the menu! Way better option than Chipotle!! read more

Not worth the price most of it was veggies smh wouldn't recommend it food was mediocre. I've tried downtown it was okay but I also got very sick after but I am not sure if it was all the cheese of the kept tacos. They weren't that great anyways meat can use better seasoning read more

Never had a bad experience at any of the locations. Food pretty consistent. Today???? I think k the picture says it all without any more words. Bitter, burnt from the inside out. Come on! If u know u burnt someone's food, make another? First time eating at this location. This was really bad. Was it worth me going back to this place to get another? My gas would have cost me more than the food to return. Disappointing and very unsatisfied. read more

Victor's Mexican Grill - Burnt, bitter. And gross - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This was my third time here. My buddy works at Golden Valley HS and tells me that him and another fellow worker comes to this locale often. As we got through the front door, immediately someone from the back shouted, " Welcome Back!" That right there reeks of old fashioned business practices! We then got into line and the girl, Ashley, treated my like I was the only one in the room. Very pleasant and professional. As my order was being built, another girl, Esley, took over and finished my bowl. The manager at the time was working the register and she was equally nice and pleasant . Her name was Elizabeth Her smile lit the place up! While sitting down and trying this chicken bowl I was astonished how really delicious it truly was! After reading so many sour grapes reviews, I knew that like most businesses, they had growing pangs and they have knocked it out of the park! Go there, you'll be glad you did! This happened on 7/28/25. read more

Before this newest location opened, I was going to the one downtown during work lunches. Victor's is like a local version of Chipotle but only much much better. This new location tucked in recently opened shopping center has great parking being one of the few shops here so far. The menu is simple: Pick your entree (bowl, burrito, salad, etc.) and meat. I've had almost all of their meats with the exception of the shredded beef, so I decided to try it the evening I went shortly after the restaurant's grand opening. The meat was excellent but was definitely not suited for the salad. Something like carne asada or chicken would have been a better protein, as the shredded beef and its moisture content didn't pair well without carbs. No doubt it would have been stellar in a burrito! But that shouldn't take away from the fresh ingredients and excellent salsas available. The service is prompt. And they keep the store incredibly clean. I didn't pay attention on that evening, but I recall the downtown location having great aqua frescas - yet another reason to dine at Victor's. read more

The Food the service & the Ambiance is amazing I love Victor's Mexican Grill the staff is very friendly & the burritos are delicious & you don't go away hungry & while you're standing in line waiting to order you can read the Daily Bible verse & I love that.

Do not order the biscuits and gravy. Minimal gravy and tiny biscuits. Took 30 minutes too. Do not recommend.

As this was my first time eating at any Victor's location and I certainly was not impressed with my first experience, I ordered a chicken bowl and it was very soggy. I didn't even finish my food because it wasn't good at all, $17 was not worth worth it at all! read more

By far the worst Victors..... The nachos are always burned ... the food is never ready for pickup even when the order is placed 20-30 minutes prior to arriving. I would understand if I got there and the place was packed but they never have more than a couple people there at once (can only speak to the times I've come in). I thought it was a passing thing since they were newly open so I was giving them grace but by now.... It's only this location I've noticed this... The downtown location is by far the best with Brimhall closely next. I love Victors.... We eat it almost everyday.... read more

Horrible location. Rosedale location is much BETTER. Customer service is horrible, the big lady wearing all pink taking our orders did nothing but rush us as soon as we walked in. They did not even greet us or acknowledge us. The big lady in pink with dark hair rushed us when there was absolutely no one else in line behind us. Rushing us as well as being incredibly rude. If you hate your job just say that! Rice was "freshly done" but was not even cooked all the way. super soggy. Overall this location is horrible and rude. read more

Had to throw it in a bowl because whoever plated my order didn't let it cool so it spilled all in the bag and wilted the container causing it to spill. I ordered lettuce, onion, corn and hot sauce but I don't see it anywhere. The service was poor, unorganized and the food was unappetizing after all and killed my lunch vibe. Second bad experience I have here.. the one downtown will forever be the best one for service, prep, and presentation. Not to mention the owner was roaming around.. I live down the street from this location but I will continue to just go to downtown where they can actually get your order correct.. the female working even wrote down what I wanted. read more

Victor's Mexican Grill - Garbage, service was horrible, forgot all the toppings and ambient was horrible. Downtown location better, don't waste your time - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Beyond rude. We arrived at 10:15 for breakfast. They took at least 10 minutes to take the person ahead of me's order. They took the breakfast sign down at 10:25. We got to the window at 10:28. When I asked if they could please just do one more because we had been waiting several minutes her response was a curt "No." I will not be returning. read more

Was not acknowledged at all when we walked in until we reached the counter to order. Surprising since they were not busy at all and usually restaurants greet your guest. Got a salad that was ok at best. Looking over other photos of bowls ordered that were filled to the top however ours was less than halfway. Not a lot of flavor in the food. Mostly seasoned with pepper and maybe a hint of salt. You receive very minimal for a 17.00 bill for 1 person eating. read more
