Yaassss! Okay, I'm not really sure what that means but it sounds positive, so that's why I started my review of Bakersfield with that.
Backstory, in 2015 my posse and I were in Nashville for a race and afterwards, we had an amazing meal at Bakersfield. Great drinks, delicious queso, outstanding tacos, yada yada yada, you get the picture.
Fast forward to 2016 when we are in the 'burgh for a race and as we are casually strolling down Penn Ave, we see "Bakersfield"! It looks similar so we decide to try it out for lunch and found out that it is indeed the newest location of the same place that we loved in Nashville.
So of course we ordered drinks and queso and I had a tostada that was outstanding. The queso was as good as we remembered and my margarita was very tasty. Service was fun and friendly and the cost didn't break the bank.
So if someone asks if you should visit Bakersfield, the only appropriate response is "Yaaassss!"
