  • Summary: OK - the subpar service was, in part, made up for by the quality food and drinks. Service / Seating: We arrived on a Friday night (2 of us) around 8:00, and to our surprise, it was not overly busy and even noticed 4 - 5 empty tables. We were, however, told that there would be roughly a 30 minute wait (which was again a bit surprising, but that happens - reservations, people in front on the wait list, etc.), so we got some drinks at the bar. After a 40 minute wait, we were finally seated at one of the tables that was empty upon our arrival. There were several other tables that remained unoccupied after our seating, despite people for waiting for a table behind us. Additionally, throughout the dining experience, tables remained empty and un-bussed (at one point, roughly have the restaurant was empty and un-bussed and we noticed a couple asked to wait for several minutes on a table). I am not really sure what explains this issue. but it was quite bizarre and certainly somewhat off-putting (both the wait and eating amongst a series of empty dirty tables). Fortunately, our server was quite good with good recommendations and great individual service. Food: We were quite pleased with the quality of the food and tried several different things. The guacamole was really good and I always like a little table-side preparation. We got three different types of Tacos; all of which were excellent. While I was skeptical of the Filet on a Stick (as recommended by our waitress), this was maybe the best thing we ordered. Finally, the shrimp and chorizo skillet was definitely good but not as good as the other items we ordered. This was my second time at Babalu and the second time that the service/wait left something to be desired (I'm surprised I haven't seen similar comments in other reviews, but maybe I just have bad luck). The food really was good, and overall, made the experience barely worth the trip. I would say the place is worth a try for sure, but not one of my top spots in the area, particularly with Bakersfield just down the road. Hopefully, you'll have better service if you do try it.
