" Bakersfield has been a long-time favorite of mine! The tacos hold great flavors and are perfectly cooked. We enjoyed a pitcher of their house margarita — it was the real deal, made from fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is always buzzing and makes for an enjoyable meal with friends or family. However, just a small note is to keep in mind the portion sizes; I usually end up ordering extra to feel satisfied. Still, a must-visit when in Pittsburgh! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our group chose Bakersfield for a casual dinner, and it didn't disappoint! Everyone devoured the tacos, and I personally loved the short rib and al pastor options. The flavors resonate authenticity, which I always appreciate in a taco place. The service was efficient, even on a busy evening. The overall buzz from other diners also added to the experience. I will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for the tacos at Bakersfield, given the hype from friends. I tried the al pastor and carne asada tacos; both were just okay. The flavors did not stand out as expected. On the plus side, the service was friendly and attentive, and our waiter helped us navigate the menu. The ambiance was lively but not overwhelming. A nice place for casual dining but perhaps seek out better-tasting tacos elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was impressive during our recent visit to Bakersfield. The tacos we ordered were packed with flavor. Amazing guacamole made the meal even tastier. Our arrival was shortly after a concert, so the place was buzzing with energy, which added to our experience. However, our server seemed overwhelmed and our drinks took a bit longer to arrive than expected. But once we got them, the drinks were worth the wait! Highly recommend for their food, just be mindful of peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Bakersfield left me feeling a little confused. The flavors were great, but I expected a more authentic taste given the reviews. The pork tacos that I tried were good, but they didn't quite hit the mark for me. On the other hand, the wait staff was attentive and made us feel comfortable. I might return to try something different, but my first impression could have been better. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an enjoyable evening at Bakersfield! The environment was both upbeat and warm, perfect for an evening out. The tacos were delightful, especially the choices of toppings—they really encouraged creativity. Service was friendly, and our waiter knew the menu well. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone seeking a good taco experience with a nice twist! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely adored my visit to Bakersfield! We had a charming evening there with friends last Saturday. The highlight was definitely the tacos; they were fresh, and the flavors were beautiful! I must recommend the shrimp taco, which had an amazing blend of spices that took me back to my time in Mexico. The guacamole paired with the salsa trio was also delightful. Our server was prompt and bubbly, fostering a fun and relaxed atmosphere for our dinner. It’s a perfect place for taco lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
