    We went to eat with our family after the Straight No Chaser show. We got seated quickly, our server Daisha (sp) was awesome! So attentive, got our drink order in right away. Food came out in a timely manner and was delicious. Thank you Daisha for your excellent service!

    The food was very good and the margaritas were delicious. The only reason I didn’t give an overall 5 rating was because it was extremely cold inside the restaurant.

    We used to love Bakersfield. The food and drink quality isn’t even comparable to what it used to be. The margaritas were way too sugary and the tacos were bland and cold. We agreed that we weren’t sure we would return with many better options to pick from.
