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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
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.

    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.

    Kyle the host was very nice. When we got there they said they had someone else coming and we had a time limit. We were not told this before we arrived. Kyle adjusted the tables to allow us to stay longer. Margarita have changed. We loved them before. Not so much now.
