Tacos La Villa

The carne asada is done right the rice and beans are done right. The place sales beer if that’s your thing. The salsa bar is cool if its stocked up?
They are Mexican national so don’t expect a convo. I’ve eaten here ten times since living in Bakersfield. I always order the Same thing. Sometimes it’s perfect like gramma used to make sometimes it must be a different cook. Cuz it gets a little salty. All in all it fills the belly, and I can feed six people with twenty bucks. Try doing that at subways. The drinks are really good I the plastic mixers. One is lemon and the other is Jamaica. Both soothe the parched throat. Don’t worry about customer service it’s non existent here just order your food get your salsa and eat and go home.

There are many La Villas in town, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Nobody makes tortas as good as this location though.

I felt compelled to write a review after dining here. I’m not usually impressed or shocked whether positive or negative when it comes to Mexican food but since I felt both disgusted and pleasantly surprised all in one visit I decided to share my experience.
It’s conveniently located near a busy cross street but the building itself looks like it hasn’t owned a broom in ages. To make matters worse it was so muggy in there I think there air conditioning unit was replaced with a swamp cooler.
Once I approached the counter I was barely greeted. But I did appreciate there creative menu. It has the typical Mexican food menu with pictures of there dishes and on the counter is an actual item wrapped in seram wrap. Kind had the Starbucks feel. I liked it so much that I chose to try it.
I ordered two carnitas tacos and one asada sope. The sope was topped with beans asada meat cabbage onion creama and red chili sauce. The meat was tasty and that creama made all the difference. I was pleasantly surprised. The tacos however, another story. The pork tasted old and flavor less. I felt as if the cook found the left over pork and used it. It was terrible. The tortillas for the tacos we yummy but that’s it. They have a cart on the counter for you to add extra topping like, onion, salsa, lime and celantro but the look is enough to change your mind. The onions were dried out and the mess was every where.
I doubt I return but if I do it’s to check if they’ve improved there place.

This place has ok burritos but the tacos are filled with oil l, not the best tasting tacos at all unfortunately this place has gone down in quality throughout the years and lacks freshness in their food.

Quick food, it is really good tacos, and you can never go wrong with a carne asada taco. Good service, and the best thing about it, is that it’s open late hours!

I came here yesterday for lunch. We were told that the food is good. The food was really good. It wasn’t a fast service but it was worth it. We tried the burritos the tacos and tortas and everyone in the group was satisfied with the food. Really good mexican food

Quick service Mexican food with a smaller menu, but large amount of flavor. The carne asada has such a great flavor and cooked perfectly. I have had their tacos and sopes before, but this time I had ths carne asada nachos. They were some of the best nachos I have ever had! They give large portions (so big she had trouble closing the container) and they don’t skimp on anything. They are also accomidating and friendly.

Food is OK… The chicken tacos and burritos are the best thing I have found on the menu… Their Asada leaves something to be desired… It’s always VERY fatty… You know that fatty where you bite into the food and you have to pull out a big chunk with your fingers fatty?!? Yea like that… Or worse yet when you bite into a taco and you actually snap your teeth on a mystery piece of bone… Their Green sauce is good and has a little kick to it… Their Red sauce is about as nasty as can be in my opinion… I do like their condiment bar setup… You can get Lemon slices, Radish slices, Onion, Cilantro, Peppers… Etc… This location is straight out HOOD… 90% of the people that roll in are full on ghetto trash… Not a environment you want to have small children or ladies in… There is another location seriously like a block West on Niles, that is MUCH nicer, cleaner and has better food… I have only stopped at this one once since they opened the newer location… And I won’t be going back again…

The food was good. It was in a sketchy location, but truthfully the staff was polite, quick and I went during 12’o clock lunch rush. The price was fair, about 10.00 for both items (no drink). The meat was a little spicy, the beans were typical, but my complaint was the rice that had too many peas and carrots which I just don’t really like in my rice. Overall, if your hungry for some authentic Mexican food in a hurry for a reasonable price. This place is good, but I personally would get it go.

Place was good — once upon a time. This place has gone down hill. Next time I want tacos, I’ll go to Vallarta. For even better tacos, head over to La Fonda (especially on Wednesday — 2 for 1 tacos.)

Most amazing tacos you will ever eat. There is also a new la villa also on niles. The new best location in Bakersfield. Chile Verde is on point.
