Disappointed. Should have stuck with the tacos. Wanted to like this place. Has a decent vibe—used to be a taco truck so was hoping for better. Now a drink place and food has suffered. Had the Mexican Flag burrito, a wet burrito with red and green sauce. My first bite was pure salt. Meal was so salty I couldn’t finish—and I hadn’t eaten all day. But I guess the salty food drives the beverage revenue. Lots of folks drinking so I came here for the wrong reasons.
If I could give six stars I would. The staff, food, and atmosphere was EXCELLENT. They sang Happy Birthday to a guy who turned 21 and the whole restaurant joined in. Then he had to drink a beer.But about the food. I took my mother to Vatos because she wanted a wet burrito. I had been told Vatos had good ones. That is such an understatement. They have the best wet burritos I have ever had. Enjoy the photo.We also had the Sampler Platter. We were eating before I remembered to take pictures. However, picture the plate full of bacon wrapped shrimp and jalapeños. A full bowl of chili Verde. CRISPY tortilla chips, and miniature tacitos stuffed with strips of chicken. Heaven in your mouth!I will be back there many times.
Truly is the best damn Mexican food. The waitress is amazing, always taking great care of my wife and I. Happy hour is the best time to go. You will not be disappointed with anything on the menu.
The workers all seemed very rushed couldn’t even offer napkins forks or any condiments. When they did go to your table to give you the food they rush off like they don’t even look at you. Horrible service only guy that was good was the one bringing the drinks, other then that I was disappointed..
The atmosphere was fantastic the second we walked through the door. The food was AMAZING! Mucho Gusto! We can hardly wait for their SW location opens! I guarantee we will be regulars! ??
Great shrimp tacos with just enough heat to make them interesting. My partner's California tostada was on the small side, but she said it was good. Service was good also. The only downside was the music was extremely loud
We had great service, loved the (strong) happy hour margaritas and yummy food. The steak fajitas had so much flavor and were juicy! The kids meal was great for my son, too!
The best in my opinion!! Staff was great! Food is great!! Music was good..could have played that song suga boom boom tho..I love that song...but yes all in all don't miss out if you're coming to or through bakersfeild...it's a must!!BUT I WARN YOU!!! BETTER ASK THEM ABOUT THAT RED SAUCE BEFORE YOU ORDER ANY MEAT LOL ITS FIRE!! GOOD!! GREAT!! BUT IT WILL RUIN YOU...ASK.
Bro! I have been trying to get to this place for almost a year. Finally got my chance. Myself and the Mrs arrived and was seated promptly. Didn't need a menu because I already knew what I wanted. I ordered the 3 Birria tacos with one of the tacos made with shrimp, 2 beef and 1 shrimp birria tacos. The Mrs. had 2 fish tacos (HUGE)... The order didn't take long and came out hot. The beef birria tacos were good. They were just how I imagine them to be, flavorful and delicious. The shrimp birria taco was on a whole different level. Omg, this taco was amazing, succulent, delicious and packed with nice size shrimp!! I enjoyed the shrimp birria wayyyyyy more than the beef. For sure, without a doubt when I do return, all of my tacos with be shrimp. Our waitress (sorry I didn't get ur name) was amazing however I did feel a bit sorry for her doing all that running around in her soon to be a mommy state. We will be back. Thank you VATOS TACOS for a wonderful experience.
It is a small place and I had to wait to get seated but the service was good but the food was ok I would say. I liked the avocado sauce the most but over all a little bit pricey. I ordered 3 tacos with beans and rice. I forgot yo take pictures. I understand things are going up in prices but the taste should as well and quality of meat. But I had a nice time there by myself and I also went another time with friends just to see if anything would changed but It was the same just a longer bill lol
