Reviews for Vatos Tacos Grill and Cantina in Bakersfield, CA

Favorite place hands down. Went to the grand opening of Vatos on the Eastside and loved it. Moved away and came back 2 years... later and found out they had a second. Had to stop on my out of state. And wow! The staff is super awesome and friendly and thefood is to die for! Great atmosphere and even better food. 10/10 Read more

I LOVE Vatos Tacos. They have the best Birria and consume, but literally everything on the menu is delicious and made with love.... One of my favorites is the avocado birria rolls - they?re basically birria, cheese, and avocado fried in an egg roll wrap andthey come with consume for dipping. So. Delicious. Read more

Really great little Mexican restaurant and sports bar. I've never had a bad meal here. The draft beer selection ranges from Dos... Equis and Modelo to 805 and Mind Haze. Good mixed drinks, too. It's also a Raider bar, which makes it a great place to watch thegame. 2 thumbs ???? Read more

Me and my two friends came for happy hour (2-6 7 days a week) they had a lot to choose from. The papa tacos are delicious. The... drinks were perfect. The manager was super nice and helpful. Definitely be a place to come again! Read more

If I could give six stars I would. The staff, food, and atmosphere was EXCELLENT. They sang Happy Birthday to a guy who turned... 21 and the whole restaurant joined in. Then he had to drink a beer. But about the food. I took my mother to Vatos because shewanted a wet burrito. I had been told Vatos had good ones. That is such an understatement. They have the best wet burritos Ihave ever had. Enjoy the photo. We also had the Sampler Platter. We were eating before I remembered to take pictures. However,picture the plate full of bacon wrapped shrimp and jalapeños. A full bowl of chili Verde. CRISPY tortilla chips, and miniaturetacitos stuffed with strips of chicken. Heaven in your mouth! I will be back there many times. Read more

It is a small place and I had to wait to get seated but the service was good but the food was ok I would say. I liked the... avocado sauce the most but over all a little bit pricey. I ordered 3 tacos with beans and rice. I forgot yo take pictures. Iunderstand things are going up in prices but the taste should as well and quality of meat. But I had a nice time there by myself and I also went another time with friends just to see if anything would changed but It was the same just a longer bill lol Read more

The best birria tacos ???? as well as the best salsa. We bought extra salsa to bring home. More of a bar atmosphere than a... restaurant. Loud music playing all the time. But the food is great. Read more
