Still four stars; the only thing I don't like about Bakersfield East is that other people like it too so there's always a wait! We went back almost a year to the day as last year. We've been 4 times in the last year with different people from out of town and they all liked it. It's the type of place I'm not scared to bring someone.
I had the steak and short rib tacos, queso and guac app. Fresh and flavorful. The tacos are still small but still packed with taste. This seasons sangria is a red wine with apples and a blackberry. I'm sucker for sangria so I get it every time.
Just FYI - It was just as hot inside as outside; they might as well open the garage doors since they don't do much to keep the summer out.
