    Good food, so when my Dad visits me, he chooses Fresco Mexican Grill always for breakfast.

    We love the Breakfast Jr Supreme from Fresco Mexican Grill! Our family has also had some of their other burritos and tacos, and they were scrumptious too! Thinking we will get some burritos again over Thanksgiving weekend. 🤤 Happy to support a local business that makes great food 😍

    We had Fresco Mexican Grill cater our son’s graduation party and the food was phenomenal! We had them come to the party and cook in front of our guests. Everyone commented on how tasty the food was. We highly recommend them! Thank you Sergio and team!

    Food quality n quantity very good, would have given 5 stars if it was not for the Unfriendly n unprofessional attitude of counter girl. Was treated like was getting a freebie, come-on girl I damn paid for my food expected some courtesy n professional behavior. May be it's because of location n clientele visits this place, counter staff has gotten this attitude. Would love to visit again as food was yummy but attitude... have to think again.

    Was really upset with my burrito, didn’t even eat it. I ordered a plain carne Asada burrito and received a burrito with everything on it. Told the cashier, who was super sweet, and she sent it back. Got a new burrito within 30 seconds and it wasn’t carne Asada. It was some kind of fall apart meat which was kind of dry. I wasn’t going to go up a second time as the cooks already gave me a weird look when I came up the first time. Just tossed the burrito instead. Bummed because I’ve been craving a carne Asada burrito all week and liked Fresco. $14 for two wrong burritos.

    I order a lot on Tuesdays for Taco Tuesdays and normally Fresco has the best Tacos in Bakersfield but definitely not tonight. Tacos were average at best ordered 12 chicken Tacos as I normally do and added cheese and Pico De Gallo hardly any cheese and Pico De Gallo on the Tacos tonight and the Tacos didn't taste as fresh as they normally do. Also ordered a slice of cheese cake and it was actually a sliver of cheese cake. Very disappointed and dissatisfied in tonight order.

    Sampled Fresco's Chili Verde Burrito. The meat was pork loin chunks and not shredded 👍. Sauce was light and tasty with excellent flavor.

    The food is outstanding. The dishes that come out of that cook's kitchen are deliciously served. But what stands out the most is the authenticity of a real home cooked Mexican meal that not only warms your stomach but your heart as well.

    Ordered two tacos (both chicken), and definitely had a decent lunch. A bit much on the lettuce and cheese with respect to how they assembled the taco (one bite and I had more than a few tablespoons of lettuce and cheese on my shirt). It tasted good, to be certain, and the staff were quick and friendly. Was it worth $7 - $13 for the two tacos? Definitely in the ballpark, but perhaps a bit more protein and less lettuce lining the top would be in order. Definitely a solid buy, but a dine-in experience is recommended in comparison to their drive through option.

    We used Fresco Catering for my daughters wedding with almost 200 people. We loved the service and the food!! Our guests kept saying how wonderful the food was. Sergio was so helpful in planing and Paola and her team we amazing the night of. Thank you for helping make her wedding day perfect!

    Tacos are decent but the prices are sky rocket too hard tacos for 845 without cheese if you want cheese a B a dollar more so you looking at 9:45 almost $10 for two hard tacos if you want to come here and get ripped off this is the place goes somewhere else you get half the price and on taco Tuesday they don’t have a dollar they charge $1.55 it’s only a dollar for chicken. Everyone else is a dollar for steak tacos the best of the best but here it’s a rip off just to let you know but the food is OK.

    We've never had a problem with this place until Taco Tuesday's visit this week. After sitting down and taking our usual restaurant and food selfies, we noticed that one of the tacos from my honey's combo plate appeared to have been sampled. Take a look for yourself in our pictures below! 👇 Since my honey is disabled from a double stroke and neurological issues, it was me who brought it up to the "manager's" attention who essentially agreed that it had been sampled, but insisted it wasn't any of his employees who sampled it. So, essentially, right of the bat, he accused us of lying. I assured him that neither of us had taken a bite. All we had done up to that point was take our food selfies! I asked him if he had video surveillance. He said, "Yes." I said, "Great," as I invited him to review his restaurant surveillance which would easily show that it wasn't sampled by either of us, but he angrily refused, saying,"I'm not going to look at surveillance." Why would the manager, or owner, admit to having surveillance, but then refuse to review it, especially when he was accusing us of lying? I suspect it was because he knew his surveillance would show that the plate was served with a partially eaten taco 🌮🤦‍♀️ We invited him to look at our selfies to see for himself that the 🌮 was sampled prior to being served, but he just kept denying any wrongdoing by his employees. In the end, he exchanged the plate, but not without trying to gaslight me and accusing me of lying about a measly taco from a combo that cost around ten bucks! We also ordered two shrimp tacos. The first one was great, but then I took a bite into the second one and became concerned about the texture, or content. I spit it out and noticed that it was foreign to what should normally be in a shrimp taco. I went back to the manager to ask what it was. He was irritated, again, with my legitimate question, as I showed him the foreign food item. I thought it was carne asada, and after going back and forth about what it might be, he concluded that it was burnt, or overcooked, cheese. Either way, I knew it didn't belong in that shrimp taco and after that much debate about it, why not just replace it? Clearly shutting burnt isn't acceptable! 🤦‍♀️ However, he made no offer to replace it and, instead, watched me toss the uneaten shrimp taco into the trash. After taking our seats, back outside on the patio where we were sitting, the employee who took our order came to our table to genuinely apologize for what she observed happening to us by her employer, or manager. Clearly, she wasn't in a position to make things right by replacing the shrimp taco, but she felt bad enough to come to our table and apologize to us which means she knows what we knew about today's quality and service!

    We got Sergio to cater for our Wedding and couldn't have asked for a better service. He promised to take care of our guests by being on time, being prepared and professional. He delivered and exceeded our expectations. Food was amazing and we can't thank him enough. Highly highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Ave R. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend this place. Food is top tier fresh & delicious. Affordable prices. They have a repeat customer on their hands. For reference, I ordered three plates (Super fries, Shrimp burrito & an enchilada plate) with two large Horchatas =$42 total. Also they are not shy about giving you their red & green sauce, love that!!!

    I noticed that the portly Mexican fellow serving my food was reaching into his pocket and it looked like he was rubbing something in there. I don't know if he was or wasn't. All I know is when I got my card back it had some weird film on it and it kind of ruined the burrito for me. Even though it looked like he didn't open it or anything, it was just difficult and that's why I'm writing this review. The burrito was okay but I think it was due to what happened. Maybe because most of the time when I eat there. It's great. I love it but seeing him do that I don't know and seeing that film on my my card and I know he doesn't make the food. Take it as you wish

    I enjoyed my food from here every time I order, but this location for some reason put my tacos in 3 separate small boxes instead of one big to go box like the California location does. Still food was on point I've never had an issue with it not being delicious. Will definitely order here again.

  • 5/5 Jacob D. 6 months ago on Google
    I usually stop by late at night right before they close. The night staff is friendly and can carry on a conversation while the food is decently priced and tastes very good! I will continue to come through late at night when I’m hungry while out streaming.

  • 4/5 Katie S. 11 months ago on Google
    Tried for the first time and the burrito I had was very delicious and fresh. I'll be intrigued to come back and try more options on their menu now. I'd say they're much better than tacos la villa.

  • 4/5 Noah F. 6 months ago on Google
    Decent food for a decent price. Workers are nice enough. Location is the biggest drawback with plenty of roaming homeless who sometimes come inside and sometimes cause a scene. It's not unsafe but maybe uncomfortable.

  • 3/5 Angieglenn48 1 year ago on Google
    The food is good but there was times that the chicken was over cooked where at one time was chocking on the chicken. When my mom in law and we eat lunch/dinner most of the tables are dirty. The service is good and the food taste good really never changes but the only complain I have is the chicken is a bit dry/ over cooked. Other than that it’s a good place to dine in.

    When I found out my original go to caterer couldn’t make my event I was so bummed. He ended up getting his Brother the owner of Fresco Mexican Grill and oh my god the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! PROFESSIONAL, PERSONABLE, RELIABLE and most importantly to me DELICIOUS. If you’re looking for someone to cater an important event seriously look no further Fresco Mexican Grill is it! Their display was beautiful and the staff was professional, early and ready to serve quickly. My mom who is an old school Mexican woman that complains about everything literally ate three plates of this delicious food. Thank you everyone at Fresco for being the hit of my moms surprise party!!

  • 1/5 Mark M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place takes a really long time. And I know they're making it fresh that's part of the reason except for if you go to the other fresco far on the east side they get s*** done in like half the time. The guy on the intercom here fairly speaks English and is hella rude. Do yourself a favor and just go to the one on the east side The girls there are really nice and actually know how to run a drive-thru

  • 4/5 LaShonda J. 1 year ago on Google
    Went through drive thru. Food was a 7.5/10. Hotsauce was really hot and good, otherwise on the bland side for me. Burrito was 7.99 on Friday and it filled me up. More rice than shrimp which is too be expected.

    Today I felt like waring some chilaquilles so I decided to give this restaurant a try. Ordered 2 Chilaquile plates with egss and Carne Asada. The chilaquiles weren't as crispy at all, but I did take out, so maybe the steam made them soggy, so I can not judge them on that. The salsa on the chilaquiles was not hot, but it did have flavor. The rice and beans were actually good. Overall, the food I have to rate them 5 stars. The service was good at first until I received my food. Once I paid, I waited maybe 5 minutes for the lady to hand me my plates. What threw me off a bit was the fact that when I was waiting, she suddenly opened the window, hands me my food, and closed the window. I wasn't sure if my food was complete since she didn't really say anything. Most places would say something like "Thank you,have a nice day." This lady didn't say a word ,didn't make any eye contact, nothing. A huge thing for me is customer service, and if I feel as if I'm not wanted in business, I never go back again. So even my 5 star review is based on the food. The customer service I give it a 2, because although she did greet me and took my order in a very polite matter, once I paid and waited, I felt as if she didn't want me there. I'm not sure why. With that being said, I don't see myself going back to this restaurant. 2/22/2023* update went there again since my wife wanted Mexican food. This time the Customer service was OUTSTANDING. The young lady with pierced nose is extremely professional and has great customer service. She deserves a raise. This time I got the fish taco trio, Wet Asada Burrito, 4 tacos asada, Carne Asada Nachos and 1 plain chicken taco. The food was great no complaints. The Service was even better. Definitely our new go to Mexican food spot.

  • 2/5 Rome N. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered the $1.25 taco special. Chicken had a tin can taste and tortillas were semi cooked (cold). Salsa too spicy/hot - limited choice. Other meats were not fresh, what does not sell is used for tacos on following day. Check it out for yourself. Another impression I noticed was an attitude of indifference from the crew. Sincerity comes from good will. "mean what you say" When all else fails, try it. Not the first choice but not the last choice.

  • 5/5 Rebeeca W. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love Taco Fresco, their salsa is one of my favorite things to get when I go. I enjoy their breakfast burritos amongst many other delicious food items. Even though they do give you a couple salsa containers they are so small it never feels like enough. Only complaint from a salsa lover. Other than that super good food!

  • 5/5 Meiko J. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down a very good first impression the food is flavorful not like most places where they give you real small meat no you get a pure steak I had the wet burrito and let me tell you one of the best way burritos I've had in a while, there tacos are delicious and flavorful and they ain't no skipping out on anything 10/10 my Togo place for tacos

  • 5/5 Geneva T. 1 year ago on Google
    I met the owner once. He came to my yardsale and he was a nice guy and the food is great so 5 stars. However, his current employees aren't super friendly. They seemed like they were hoping we'd leave faster.

  • 1/5 jacqueline y. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to get tacos. Meat was dry and hard. The tacos are usually moist. Tortillas kind of hard. Very disappointed .Customer service is great..

  • 1/5 Matt 1 year ago on Google
    I have never seen a Mexican restaurant be so stingy when you ask for extra enchilada sauce on the side. Won't be ordering from these people again.

  • 3/5 Jimmy P. 1 year ago on Google
    Spent $40 for 2 dinners. My wife had shredded beef enchiladas plate, no beans with extra rice substitute , I ordered chicken casidilla beans and rice. 1 extra guacamole cup. Really. And that's just 2 people

  • 4/5 john f. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good breakfast burritos. I like how they grill them. The super fries are tasty with a good amount of meat, beans, and cheese. Wish it had more than just a whole jalapeno. Slices would have been great. But, the pico was fresh and the onions had a great crunch to it. Worth a try.

  • 5/5 Dale R. 1 year ago on Google
    Fresco Mexican Grill is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I’m digging their Friday specials and the delicious $1.00 tacos on Tuesday. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Sandy l. 2 years ago on Google
    We have eaten there several times. Always very good food. The drive-up window is speedy and nice people. Also went to their meat market which is really great meet. We recommended to anyone who is coming into town and looking for Mexican food
