Bakersfield is a hip spot with delicious tacos and tequila. It was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and that always makes me curious to check it out.

We were seated right near the open wall that spills out onto the sidewalk. And even though it was rainy, it was neat to get the fresh air and have this sort of indoor-outdoor dining experience.

We went simple with queso, and I got a taco.

The queso was tasty - pretty creamy and a little bit of heat.

And my taco was the SHORT RIB: braised short rib, queso fresco, crema, white onion, radish, cilantro. It was very good. I almost wish I would have tried more tacos - there just wasn't room in my belly. Do you have a favorite here?
