FINALLY- I made it to Bakersfield! I've been wanting to try it since it opened. My friend and I went for our monthly new restaurant dinner. We went on a Thursday night and made reservations, but it was surprisingly not busy. It was a nice night so they had the garage doors opened to the outside, which I enjoy at restaurants.
We had the salsa and black bean dip with chips to start. The black bean dip was my favorite. We both had the house margarita, also very good and strong! It wasn't overly salty or sweet. I then ordered the Willie salad (with some modifications). The salad was alright, but I guess that's what I get for going to a Mexican restaurant and modifying a salad. My friend ordered one of the sandwiches and I tried a bite and it was amazing!! I had order remorse after that. I will be back again and up to try the sandwich or some tacos.
FYI- The parking is mostly street/ meter parking, unless you want to pay for valet at one of the lots close to the restaurant.
