Consider this your checklist for the best of the best
I don't know about you but there is only one red line for me: a taco should be soft.
As long as the corn tortillas are soft, the type of taco doesn't matter to me.
When it comes to tacos, there are a plethora of combinations and twists inspired by ingredients from all over the world. Despite the large range of tacos available today, there are a number of traditional tacos that you should try. From pork tacos like carnitas and al pastor to fish tacos and even vegetarian tacos, these Mexican tacos are full of flavor and tradition.
Tacos are one of Mexico's most common street foods, despite the fact that their exact origin is unknown.
However, nowadays, wherever we turn our heads, there is a taco place. And, for a taco lover like me, it is very important to find a place that makes a great taco.
For all of these reasons, this wasn’t an easy list to make for me. However, here are the three best taco places in Bakersfield, based on taco lovers' recommendations.

2. El Asadero Taco Grill
Established in 2020. A couple of months ago, we decided to move to Bakersfield from L.A. after finding a spot where to open our taqueria (taco shop) after many years of working for lots of restaurants. Finally opened our own place. After lots of people telling us our food is very flavorful and good, that maybe we are one of the best Tijuana style tacos around the town. - El Asadero Taco Grill
