Nuestro Mexico Restaurant - Bakersfield (CA)

5 /5 Leslie Iacono: So happy we finally stopped in. 10/10. Service was great, everyone was checking in, bringing drinks, clearing plates. The restaurant is small and they have small outdoor area. Menu was delicious. They have a whole vegetarian section, excellent margaritas. We all left full and happy.

5 /5 Paul Liebrand: Nuestro Mexico Restaurant: My Three-Night Love Affair with Bakersfield’s Best Tacos Landed in Bakersfield for work, asked the Marriott front desk where to eat, and they basically handed me a winning lottery ticket. “Nuestro Mexico,” they said. Night 1: Eased in with the crispy two-item combo (beef taco + chicken taco). Crunch so loud my coworker thought I was eating potato chips. Life-changing. Night 2 & 3: Full taco degeneracy achieved with the Steak Tacos Al Pastor. Perfectly marinated steak, that magical pineapple crown, and a sauce that hits like a friendly slap from your tía. Spicy enough to wake you up, not enough to call 911. Paired it with a guava margarita (extra shot, because I’m a professional). Tastes like someone bottled paradise and added tequila. By night three, Pepe (the absolute king running the place) had clocked us as the out-of-town regulars we’d shamelessly become. On our way out he surprised us with a mountain of deep-fried ice cream on the house. I considered proposing on the spot. This is family-run hospitality on steroids. Pepe and the crew make you feel like you just walked into your favorite cousin’s kitchen. Warm chips, salsa with personality, and vibes that hug you harder than your abuela. If you’re anywhere near Bakersfield and skip Nuestro Mexico, just turn in your taste buds. They’re clearly broken. 11/10, already inventing reasons to come back. P.S. Guava margarita + extra shot. You’ll thank me when you’re in flavor heaven.

5 /5 Hailey Piper: OMG! The staff were so welcoming and helpful. Loved the authentic atmosphere. Definitely had to take some leftovers because these portions were too good!!!

4 /5 Maria Hernandez: DOS: 05/05/2025 Around 5PM Ordered the Chile Verde Enchiladas, Rice and Beans with a side of flour tortillas. The flavor of the Chile Verde was SOOOO yummy. Probably my new favorite in town. Ill have to visit again to make sure. Beans were ok. Rice was delicious also. I also really enjoyed their salsa. Im not a big salsa eater, so was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Service was fast. We were promptly greeted and food was brought out pretty quickly. I only gave 4 stars because I was never offered a refill on my drink. Speaking of drinks, they offer Coke products. Their Coke was actually pretty good too. Definitely worth checking out, Ill definitely be returning soon for that chili verde! It is not spicy, which is perfect for me. If you prefer spicy, this isnt the one for you.

5 /5 Deathlight_Gato: Whenever we go through Bakersfield, we almost ALWAYS stop here. Everything on their menu is delicious. There is a lot of variety, and the food is authentic. Weve been here many times and have never had a poor experience. The portions are great, and the salsa and chips are awesome. The service is wonderful! The place is a bit small so maybe during a busy day it might be hard to find seating, but its definitely worth the wait. Its comfortable inside and I love how its decorated. The food is delicious, and so are the desserts. I love this place and am always excited to come back!
