| - Ton of hype around Bakersfield. A friend from Cincinnati had always raved about how great the tacos/guac are and how the pitchers of margs are fantastic. I went here after work before a Pens game about a month ago, and we decided to go downstairs because they have TVs.
Tacos are great, and the ability to order individual tacos is a huge plus.
Chips and salsa are bottomless, and I like the two salsa options I had that day (a verde and chipotle salsa).
The house margarita definitely lived up to the hype. I think they do a great job on the margs. Great flavor and you can tell they use quality ingredients.
My only complaint, what is up with the television selections downstairs? I understand they don't have TVs upstairs (at least that's what I've been told, don't take my word for it), but the TVs downstairs were playing some dumb old-timer movie in black and white with no sound...
Now I'm not a huge, die-hard Pens fan, but obviously I wanted to watch the game. The bartenders were totally on board with turning off the weird movie, but they still had to ask permission to get the game on. Anyway, thought that was odd. Probably the vibe they're going for, but come on guys, this is Pittsburgh, people want to watch sports at a bar. Maybe that policy has changed since, and I hope that's true.
Overall, I'd definitely go back...I haven't had the famous guac yet.
