Incredible food. Great pricing and management is killing it! Just wish the atmosphere was a bit more mellow. Rowdy on a Saturday night isn't the place for a romantic date night per se, but will absolutely be back for the incredible queso and tacos!!

Good as always. We love coming here, the food never disappoints and per my husband the pineapple margarita was delicious as usual. I can’t remember our servers name, he’s Colombian and provided exceptional service. Thank you Bakersfield for a pleasant dinner and experience 😊
