L & B Mexican Restaurant - Bakersfield, California

4/25
Whenever I come to this place, I'll feel like I'm actually in a real Mexican restaurant or a location in b. Southern california where i feel like i'm important, i'm a regular here in for the most part. This is the only Mexican establishment in all of southern California, which I can eat. They're refried beans in rice period I have a word palette when it comes to beans and rice so yeah not everyone can make beans that I wood consume. We always seem to go oh on taco Tuesday. Yeah, the prices or really comparable, with every place that we go to or have went to in the last several years. I always get the hard chicken taco combo meal. 3 hard chicken, tacos, beans and rice. This place never disappoints they're chile relleno, it seems ro be hand made and authentic flavors, their burritos are great sized and are very good. But the stand out the reason we continue to come. It's because of Betty. She's amazing. She literally remembers our orders.
No matter how special the order , Betty never gets them wrong period not that the other servers in the restaurant arent as good, I think Betty is one step above. I wouldn't recommend getting your food to go because when it's cold, it will not be the same quality and the portions seemed to be slightly smaller, nothing that I could finish but still slightly smaller. Overall, L & B will be the place i will continue to go to for the next several years or until I am likely to locate someone with better beans and rice,. So give them a try and be nice to the servers.

L and B Restaurant delivered a first-class service and incredible food. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. We enjoyed the shrimp cocktail, a variety of tacos (carnitas, pastor, and asada), and a steak and shrimp wet burrito. The salsa's we had were well balanced and a nice kick.Every bite was delicious, and we left full and happy. Best of all, the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend this wonderful gem.

This is our first visit, and the two ladies here are very welcoming. The portion sizes are generous, and the quality and flavor of the food are excellent! I ordered the birria, and the meat was incredibly tender. We also tried the fajitas, which were delicious! The shrimp a la diablo was a delight as well. The green and red sauces added an extra kick to our meals. We highly recommend this place and will definitely return!

L&B Mexican Restaurant I am very pleased we picked you to cater our wedding. You and your staff are very friendly and the food was AMAZING! I received compliments all night and many guests asked where your restaurant is located. You went above and beyond which made the evening feel more special. You made sure all tables were continuously stocked with chips and salsa and the food service was fast and well coordinated. We couldn’t be happier how smooth everything went. I highly recommend anyone looking for catering service to choose L & B.

Thank you for being part of our special day!

Got my food to go. When I called in i customized my order twice and they didn't bat an eye. Food was really good. Vegi fajitas were phenomenal, the broccoli really works. I had a chili relleno burrito (custom) it was great, my son had a burrito with 2 meats and it was great too. I was a little worried when they spelled relleno with a "y" (not a joke) food was on point though. The vegi dish my wife got was the best item of the day but it was all really tasty. This was my first time trying this place and will definitely be coming back

While in the city of Bakersfield you have to come try this authentic Mexican restaurant. The Birria tacos are a must, including the Chile verde with pork. The natural drinks are also a must. I’m definitely coming here again.

Wish I could give them 10/5 stars!!! Such kind customer service, and the food was amazing. Super flavorful, good quantities, and not over-priced. They were even kind enough to bring us a piece of flan on the house even after my baby threw up on their floor. They didn’t even flinch and helped us clean it up. we will be back regularly. 😊
