Bakersfield is an interesting mix between "Wild West" and Mexican food, but it's all very Americanized. That being said, I love going here for happy hours and with large groups for drinks, but if I want authentic southwestern OR Mexican food, this probably isn't the place. They have a solid selection of beers and cocktails. The space is huge, an upstairs and downstairs. Tables are large and open. People may be standing around the bar or just casually in groups as well if they're just getting drinks.
Either way, they do have a lot of options for tacos! Although feta and radicchio may not be common in a typical Mexican taco, if you go into it knowing this is Americanized, the tacos are great. Vegetarian and vegan options that are enjoyable rather than boring.
Definitely bring your next work outing to Bakersfield.
