Tacos. Tequila. Whiskey. Serving up authentic, Mexican street fare, and a selection of over 100 tequilas and American whiskeys. Bakersfield is a spot where the food is simple, the service is warm and the atmosphere is alive.

Bakersfield in Nashville is a taco lover's paradise, offering "perhaps the best tacos in nashville" with favorites like fish and chicken tacos. The vibrant atmosphere, "awesome drinks," and "wonderful servers" contribute to a memorable dining experience. Despite occasional noise, the fantastic "pineapple margaritas" and fresh guacamole make it a must-visit.

    Bakersfield is always a great choice for us. The servers are prompt. The food is hot when it comes out. Mario was wonderful last night and very attentive. I did not get the hosts’ name, but we were running a few minutes late and he said he would hold the table for me. I ask for a specific table each time we go and they are always so accommodating. We truly love this place.

    The was our first time at this restaurant. We love Mexican street food and Bakersfield did not disappoint. The tacos were delicious and a great value. All ingredients are fresh. The drinks are delicious but are a bit pricey. Chips and salsa are not complimentary. All that said we had a wonderful experience.

    Nice downtown location with a nice ambiance and a full bar. Basically they offer street tacos and appetizers. Tacos are well prepared and there's a good variety of them. Good flavor profiles. It's pricey for what it is, but given their location, that makes sense.
