    Absolutely wonderful first time experience. Everyone including the other customers were so welcoming. The margaritas were top tier, as were the tacos. It was very loud but not overwhelming! Next time we visit Nashville, we know where to go to eat for sure!

    Bakersfield - NashvilleResponded on March 15, 2023You can’t go wrong with tacos and margaritas here! Thank you for spending your evening with us and we can’t wait to have you back! Happy to hear about your great experience. Thank you for the review!

    overall it was good . do wish there were a few more entree choices and chips and salsa were included then usual charge for quest and guacamole. food was good as were the drinks but no dessert offering at all. our server was very nice

    Bakersfield - NashvilleResponded on February 10, 2023Glad to hear you had some good service and enjoyed your meal. We make our salsas in house every day making it fresh but also a bit costly. Unfortunately, we do have to have our prices reflect that or else we would love to give unlimited salsa! We appreciate the review!

    Our favorite taqueria in Nashville. A wonderful variety of tacos with interesting twists. Our favorites are the fish tacos and the al pastor (pork). Chips and salsa came fast. The Bakersfield margarita is the house margarita and it’s a winner. Plus, they wrap it all into a fun atmosphere with common tables and open air seating (when it’s warm). Prices are reasonable as well. Highly recommend.

    Bakersfield - NashvilleResponded on January 14, 2023What a fantastic review! We appreciate it. Margaritas are made with fresh juices every day and it looks like you picked a couple of favorites on the taco menu. Please come back and see us soon!

    Tacos were ok. Not authentic street tacos. Same with the chips and salsa. The red salsa almost taste like BBQ sauce. Margaritas are excellent. Great service, fast and accommodating.

    I used to work at Bakersfield c.2016, and always loved the food and respected that they made everything from scratch. Trust me when I tell you they are in the kitchen making fresh tortillas. Now located in Denver, I find myself day dreaming about the queso. 🤤 Make a reservation or risk not getting delicious tacos.

    This is a bar/taco place, not a restaurant. The seats are hard benches. The service was excellent and tacos were good, not great. Drinks were not special. It’s loud but not crazy loud.

    Overall I really liked the chicken tacos. Wasn’t a fan of the red sauce on the chicken taquitos. It almost tasted like hot sauce and marinara mixed together, and just didn’t taste good. Tacos are extremely small with a $4.50 price tag which is a bit much for the size, as they can fit in the palm of my hand completely. Salsa was not good, as it was very very sweet with a really odd taste. Overall it’s ok. I think there are better places to eat, but it’s not the worst. I’d probably get four or five tacos to go, but other than that I don’t think it’ll be my go to.

    Bakersfield - NashvilleResponded on October 21, 2022Thanks for the review Tabitha. We appreciate the feedback.

    No real complaints - food & service were both good. However, considering how many fantastic food spots Nashville has to offer, a generic chain is not the top choice. It’s proximity to our hotel swayed our decision. If you are staying in the neighborhood and want a local experience, go to Martin’s BBQ instead.

    Every was as good as expected other than the unripe avocado that the manager tried to push off as “they make their guac chunky”

    Bakersfield - NashvilleResponded on September 18, 2022Thanks for the review - glad everything was good during your visit! We do prepare our guacamole "rough cut," with large chunks of avocado. However, we have also been receiving some under-ripe avocados recently, and it sounds like some of them made it into a batch before they were ready, so my apologies about that. Thanks for the review and the support, and we hope to see you again soon! Jeff S - General Manager
