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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bakersfield in Detroit is a vibrant spot perfect for pre-event dining. The atmosphere is lively, service is "great," and the tacos are "amazing." Margaritas stand out with a "tart" punch. While a bit noisy, it's ideal for game nights, offering "quick tacos and margaritas" before events.

    Great Mexican restaurant with many good options. Good Margarita choices and even a Mezcal tasting menu. We enjoyed the fun atmosphere and the staff was excellent. The location is perfect. Near sports and music venues right on Woodward Avenue. We went to a concert at Masonic Temple which is only a 15 minute walk. Some of the side streets have free parking.

    We come to Bakersfield several times a year, but this time was a total let down. We showed up only to see a sign on the door that the restaurant was closed due to building problems. We received a call less than 20 mins before our confirmed reservation time, which for most people wouldn’t really give ample time to make other plans. I know it was an unexpected situation, just wish we could’ve been notified a bit earlier to adjust our plans. Bummer!

    We had a reservation for 5:30pm for 4. We didn’t get sat at our table until 6:15 and had to rush to eat as we had somewhere to be. Had a less than enjoyable experience due to the fact we weren’t seated at them Time we had reserved.

    Service was good and location can’t be beat. Food is overpriced and the $26 for 2 value is misleading since the price of the food is the amount of the “deal.”
