This was the 1st time ever eating at Bakersfield. The atmosphere and decor are excellent, and they are reasonably priced. The chunky guacamole is top-notch, and the queso is great.

The downstairs area was dark and dingy and cramped. There was water leaking from the ceiling a foot from our table. Appetizers were good but our tacos were actually cold. It was loud and chaotic. Just not what I expected.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, food is delicious ? beer is a must to try… if you get there in rush hours, might be a bit of waiting, but food is worth it.

Worst Tacos I've HadI ordered only two tacos because I wanted a quick bite to eat and got one pollo verde and one pollo rojo. First bite was of pollo rojo and the shredded chicken was sooooo chewy that I couldn't break it down with my teeth so I had to spit it out. I tried the pollo verde and same thing happened. Not to mention that they were luke warm temperature. Makes me think they were just reheated poorly and really hoping I don't get food poisoning tonight. Will not be coming back.

Slow service, but friendly. They forgot to drop (bring out) one of the orders at the table and only after 15 min when the waitress checked on us did the mistake get caught. They comped the order as a result (much appreciated)!The food was really, really good. The taquitos were my favorite, crispy and deliciously moist.The drinks were good. Stiff and smooth.Dietary restrictions: Some gluten free items available

Excellent food, service was a bit slow. Bench seats not the most comfortable. Tacos were phenomenal and would definitely go back.

The service was IMPECCABLE- I’m a regular here and the Sunday before the solar eclipse was as busy as I have ever seen the restaurant - the bartender Allie and the manager Britney were remarkable! Both had great attitudes and were upbeat and attentive!!! They are my new favorite duo!!! I will be back!!

Chelsea Patterson was our bartender this evening and she did a phenomenal job! Definitely one of the best experiences I've had with a bartender in Indianapolis. Will be visiting the bakersfield bar again, thanks to her. ?

After having dinner at the bar with my wife I ordered two shrimp tacos and one short rib to go for my son. When we arrived home we realized that we were given a wrong order.

Everything was delicious! We got the short rib queso, hongos/baja shrimp/short rib/cochita pibil and more tacos, and the house made margarita. All the items from food to drink to every sauce brought on a platter, Rachel made our first experience at Bakersfield one to return for. YEET HAW!
