Bakersfield - OTR offers a vibrant atmosphere with "delicious tacos, margaritas, and warm chips." Patrons rave about the "great service" and "friendly staff." The rooftop seating is a draw on cooler nights. While some found the margaritas lacking, the "signature cocktails" are recommended. It's a "fun place to hang out," perfect for taco lovers.

Love the tacos. The tiny size allows you to sample a variety. Honestly they are all so good we couldn’t pick a favorite. The guacamole is chunky and fresh. The service is quick and friendly. The only downside are the margaritas. The menu says they are made with fresh citrus. I’m pretty sure it’s mostly a mix. Next time I’ll order a signature cocktail. The weather was really hot so the rooftop seating wasn’t open. We would love to sit outside on a cooler evening.

The host was very rude and she didn’t even show me to my table. She said it’s around the corner to the left. First time a host has ever done that. And as we left she was on her phone and didn’t say anything. Should be better service overall for the price point.

Errors on our bill. Food was just okay. We expected serious Mexican food. Disappointed with typical bad Ohio Mexican food.

Rachel, our server, could not have been better. Attentive without being ever-present. Fish tacos and chips with dip were delicious as always. And great selection of draft beer.
