My first meal in Indianapolis could not have been better! I don’t even drink alcohol that much and Jen explained every drink in a way that was easy to understand and enjoy and the food was to DIE for. She recommended the guacamole and I was hesitant because I usually don’t like guac but it was so good, just the right amount of saltiness from the salt and freshness from the lime. The tacos I had were not a miss, definitely recommend asking for Jen and definitely recommend Bakersfield!

I went out with my friends and had an incredible time! The food was absolutely delicious, and they even had options to make the food vegetarian. I particularly loved their sauces, which they served with the empanadas. Yum! The waitress was a real pro! She gave me some great suggestions for cocktails, and I loved the flavor she picked for me.

I absolutely love it here at Bakersfield!! Service is always so prompt & kind. The food is AMAZING!! I wish the tacos were a bit bigger, but there's so much to choose from, why stop at tacos only?? The Dolly salad is so delicious & u won't find a better Pineapple Margarita anywhere. Oh, & ask for Keily. She's definitely a breath of fresh air!!

The margaritas were excellent. The salsa trio definitely had distinct flavors but not for those who like a chunkier consistency. The $4.50 tacos (we tried the al pastor, carnitas, fish and huitlacoche) had good flavor but were on the small size, more like appetizers…gone in 2 bites. Service was very pleasant but slightly slow.

We were having a small anniversary party and I didn’t want to cook. I noticed one of our favorites, Bakersfield, had family packs. Perfect! But since we were ordering a few of them for delivery, I wanted to make sure we were ordering in a way that gave the kitchen enough time and we had all the right details to get it here by a certain time. I ended up talking with Ruth, and she was not only informative and helpful, she saved us money by explaining how to order on the website, avoiding higher delivery fees! The food was as amazing as always, showed up hot, and included a beautiful little anniversary cake and a note. What a wonderful experience!

My husband and I hosted our rehearsal dinner at Bakersfield on Mass Ave, and it could not have been a better experience! We had 33 guests in a private area for two hours, and while the space was a little tighter than expected, it actually worked out perfectly; everyone had a seat, and it felt cozy and lively for the occasion. From the start, the booking process was seamless. Communication was excellent, and the team was so accommodating with changes along the way, which made planning during a busy wedding week so much easier. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food and drinks were a huge hit. The taco bar buffet was outstanding, and the pineapple margarita was hands-down the most talked-about drink of the night! A special shoutout goes to our servers, Jake and Hannaleise. They went above and beyond to make sure the evening ran smoothly. They were constantly on the move, attentive to every guest, and ensured that food and drinks were timed perfectly. Our guests felt comfortable and well taken care of, and we never had to worry about a thing. Although the restaurant itself was a little loud for speeches, that didn’t take away from how much fun we had. Overall, Bakersfield was the perfect spot for our rehearsal dinner, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to host a special event or just enjoy a great night out.

I just dined here with a few friends and had a lovely time. We did the restaurant week deal and it was great! The salad I got was the best part of my meal! Our waitress Seline was also lovely and helped us pick great things to eat and she was super friendly!
