    We used to love Bakersfield. The food and drink quality isn’t even comparable to what it used to be. The margaritas were way too sugary and the tacos were bland and cold. We agreed that we weren’t sure we would return with many better options to pick from.

    It’s too bad about the odd, unpleasant smell we experienced in the outdoor seating area. Otherwise we love this place and usually love to sit outside at this restaurant.

    We chose this restaurant while attending a national healthcare design conference. Nice walk from the convention center and provided a casual atmosphere and great margaritas. Worth leaving the typical restaurants immediately to the hotels and convention center for a change of pace. Good value and energetic location clearly frequented by locals.
