Taqueria El Paisita: Reviews & Ratings
Recommended by my coworkers. Be prepared for some Spanish bc my Spanish sucks. Luckily there was a nice lady to translate for me. For 2 Carne asada tacos and 2 vampire tacos plus a mango drink was almost $25. Omg. that's expensive for lunch. But totally worth it. Tons of meat in both. I got full after eatting 1 tack and 1 vampiro. So order wisely. I ended up eatting the rest for dinner. It was still bomb. I got the mango agua fresca and it was so good. If only this plan was closer to home...but work will do.
Clean, nice setup. The process for placing your order is quick and easy, food is prepared fresh and fast. Overall great service! Food is closest to TJ street tacos I have had this far North!! Prices are a little high but it is worth it!! I definitely recommend making this stop if you are traveling through Bakersfield.
Being from LA and Ventura county I've had an insane amount of tacos in my life. These dudes get down like James Brown. All the tortillas are made fresh for each taco, the meat is BBQd fresh through the day and they are served Tijuana style with guacamole in em! The salsa's were fire literally, super spicy! Legit tacos! Get some, even worth an hour or two drive!!! Top 3 taco spots lifetime!!
Muy amables, Y carne tiene muy buen sabor todas las carnes tienen muy buen sabor. 11:00pm y estaba lleno de gente es cierto lo que dicen si hay gente están buenos los tacos...
Best agua fresca I've had in a long time. I ordered the melon agua, and I was a happy lady. We also had some tacos, and a quesadilla. Everything had lots of meat and toppings. I like their style here: they put onion, cilantro, and guacamole on the tacos for you. All you need to do is add what you want from the salsa bar. They have plenty of nice shaded benches and tables. There are actually a few different food trucks in this church parking lot. The lady who took our order seemed very unhappy, and I hope she was just having a temporary bad day. I would totally eat here again.
Top tier food for the price. Tacos are $3 and the quesadillas are $10 - great value for the portions/quality you get. I'm definitely partial to Tijuana style tacos as I grew up in SD, and these definitely check all the boxes. Pastor/adobada has a great flavor and the asada has a great flame grilled taste. They also have a nice salsa bar section with different salsas, and they're all very tasty (spicy options as well if that's what you're looking for). Friendly workers; however, if you don't speak Spanish, I'd definitely bring someone with you who does or brush up on your skills. Ambiance is very laid back, sharing a church parking lot with a few other food trucks. By far some of the best tacos in Bakersfield.
This food truck has been setting up near morning and kern canyon road. We went to eat there for the first time the other night. They offer outside seating, and they make tortillas hand made on the spot. They have Aguas frescas, and all the salsas, there is cucumbers and your food it cooked up to your order. I got a chicken vampiro,, I loved the crunchyness of the fresh corn tortillas. They provided us great service and I'm definitely going back again. Prices are reasonable and I can't wait to try a few more things.
Amazing taste! I love the vampiros! Their agua frescas are good too! Ambiance is chill, service is quick. Would definitely recommend a stop in this spot, best tacos in town!
Great food The food is always so good. Never disappoints and their mulitas are HUGE. They have different salsas than most food trucks. The meat is Al carbon so it's less fatty than most other tacos and feels great without the excessive oil and fresh Al carbon taste. They also have beans and sell grilled cactus.... So good
