"I always find it off-putting when the staff tells you that restrooms are only for patrons before you've even said anything. The cashier's attitude wasn't welcoming at all; it felt like bad customer service based solely on appearances. This experience has made me not want to return. After spending six days at the Google I/O conference, interacting with government officials, developers, and over 6,000 attendees, I was looking forward to a pleasant meal on my way home. Unfortunately, this stop left me feeling disappointed and bitter. Keep this in mind if you're traveling and considering a visit."

I ordered an asada burrito and was really disappointed! It was mostly rice, had only about a tablespoon of beans, and barely any meat.

I ordered shrimp cocktail and ceviche tostada, the cocktail was awesome best I had in a long time. Tostada was also really good. I will definitely be back.

Asada was bland and tough. Asked for red sauce for the tacos and they gave me bland tomato salsa. Shrimp taco was soggy and couldn’t even hold the shape. Had to eat it with a fork. Tortillas for asada tacos were also raw so they tasted like chalk. Didn’t get our sodas either. This is my 2nd bad trip in a row. On the avoid list now. View menu

We got cold tacos. They forgot condiments after we asked twice. The horchata tasted like it had been sitting in a jug on a counter top for days. Tasted like sugar water. The tacos weren't even good but they were cold so who knows. We stopped coming here because it was sub par glad to see it just kept getting worse. Go literally anywhere else because the quality of this place can't be beat in the worst kind of way.

The only reason I visited this restaurant was for the super fries, which were once excellent and delicious. However, they've really gone downhill by switching to steak fries. These new fries are unseasoned, greasy, and tend to become mushy as you eat them. Additionally, their posole is stale and tasteless, lacking any seasoning. It's disappointing to see the quality of their food decline. I used to be a loyal customer, but not anymore.

Jin Sushi

Menu • Sushi • Asian • Seafood • Japanese

"I must admit, I was snobby and skeptical about sushi in Bakersfield and JIN Sushi proved me wrong and I'm better for it! I'll come back and bring more people. If you visit Bakersfield, you need to try JIN Sushi. It is really good sushi, great ambience, friendly service and affordable prices! If you're from Bakersfield, what are you waiting for? You have a phenomenal sushi bar under your nose. I sat at the bar and our server was so knowledgeable and friendly and very efficient. It was also a busy night, but I still felt no gap in service quality. I tried Nigiri and Rolls and they were all amazing. Some of my favorites were the Mackerel Nigiri, the salmon roll and the Baked Scallop Roll. My only regret. 1. I did not record our server on a Blue Fin Tuna special for this day. Life is too short. I'll do it next time. 2. I didn't know there was House Sake (warm or cold) until I had already ordered a bottle. But it would have been nice to try Jin Sushi. 3. My stomach had no more space to try other things on the menu. Next time Jin, next time..."

"Came here for a few ice creams. What a disappointment! Never coming back again. First off the gentleman at the window kept acting like he couldn’t hear us but would not take out his air pod. Waited about ten minutes in line to get two ice creams that were the wrong flavor and the third he must have filled while we waited on the other car because it was all water. I literally came back and gave him that mess back for a refund. I’m so sick of fast food places. There used to be a really nice competent man who worked here. They need to bring him back the one there today at 1:50 pm doesn’t care."

Nuestro Mexico

"It's a Mexican restaurant, obviously, and their Mexican cuisine is excellent. The food is quite tasty and served piping hot. And, you get plenty of food on your plate! Our server was sufficiently attentive, without being intrusive so to be clear, the service was good. The food was served in a timely manner of 15 20 minutes or so. And we had a party of 13 people. They are well set up to handle larger groups and do take reservations. You should be aware that they do add a 18% tip on all large groups automatically, but I thought that was reasonable. Also, they did separate checks for our group, which some places will not do. You can expect to spend in the area of $16 $20 per meal, depending on your choices. It's a quaint older restaurant with good food and friendly service. It's downtown, so parking can be limited, but we found good street parking within a block of the place. So, if you want good Mexican food, Nuestro will not disappoint."

"Tried this while I was close by …. Food was hit n miss , some dishes were good and some average . The salt was on the higher side. The service was slow , they brought main dishes earlier and naans came much later . Also the attitude of some staff was unfriendly. When asked to bring extra hot Chai , the server said to come inside the kitchen to drink , that was very rude and unprofessional. Only the young guy with a turban had a smiling friendly face . Hope they learn some customer satisfaction etiquettes ."
