Bakersfield
A little pricey, but our favorite local pizza joint. They have locations throughout Bakersfield, making it easy to get it wherever you are in town.
Tony's Pizza: Tony's Firehouse
YUM!!! They have an experimental menu with a lot of fun and unique flavors. Their bang bang cauliflower bites… I do not like vegetables and I could eat a whole plate of these by myself!
New Vintage Grill Truxtun
It wouldn’t be California without Mexican food! Their spice is not for the faint of heart, but it is so tasty! Something for everyone ❤️
EL PATIO MEXICAN GRILL
Definitely a hole in the wall, but one of our favorite pizza places in town! You can dine in or get it to go. The staff is so nice and their prices are reasonable. Don’t sleep on the chicken, wedges or biscuits!
Queen Pizza & Krispy Krunchy Chicken
The bakery that catered our wedding - that’s how much we love them! My husband loves their cream cheese puffs and I’m a sucker for their brownies. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything that I didn’t like! They have a few locations on the northwest sid...
Sugar Twist Bakery
DELICIOUS street tacos! You have to follow them on social media to see when they have their tacos for $1 because it is SO worth it! We found them set up in literally a dirt lot one week and stood in line for an hour and a half to get these tacos. Whe...
ERICK'S STREET TACOS
Fast and fresh! So random, but their french fries are also amazing!!! This is a local chain so they have a few locations around town. Definitely a favorite go-to for lunch or dinner.
Flame & Skewers Mediterranean Restaurant
Their pho is always so fresh and their orange chicken is delicious! There can be a little bit of a wait sometimes, but it’s worth it. My husband and I love sharing the pu-pu plater; it’s a really fun assortment of all the food they offer.
Maui Pho
One of the best burgers in town! Right off the 178 so super convenient if you’re traveling through town. Pretty inexpensive and fast.
THE MALT SHOP
Their cilantro sauce is GOAT! You are doing yourself a disservice if you skip it. They also have nachos served on a pizza plate - they’re huge! We can share it between 3 people.
A local version of Chipotle. Really fresh and reasonably priced.
Victor's Mexican Grill
Really fast and reasonably priced! Close to the 99 so convenient if you’re driving through town. We get their Burrito Grande and can share it between my husband and myself with leftovers for the next day! Their churros are also really tasty.
LOS TACOS
Don’t hate me, but we took forever to go inside because the Grandma on their logo is really intimidating… but I’m really glad we did because it’s delicious! Yummy tacos and tamales - fast and fresh. They have multiple locations on the east side.
Grandma's Tamales
It’s REALLY good food! It’s simple, fresh and high quality. We don’t really have a favorite - it’s all delicious!
Coconut Joe's Beach Grill
Yum. Just, yum. The location on White Lane is open 24 hours (check to make sure before you visit) and we’ve definitely taken advantage of that! Even if the donuts aren’t fresh out of the oven, they’re super soft and tasty. Especially the donut holes ...
FOSTER'S DONUTS
A lot of fun speciality donuts! They’re about to open up a second location and we’re so excited!!! Taste fresh even if they were made earlier that day. A little pricier, but they are very unique so I think that comes with the territory. Another spot ...
Bakersfield Donut Co.
It’s a sports “bar” so it’s really loud - not the best for conversation. But that’s literally the only downside. Their food is absolutely delicious!!! Tri-tip tacos? Delicious. Cobb salad? Delicious. French fries? Huge. And delicious. They don’t make...
Firestone Grill
Fresno
Think Mediterranean Chipotle. The whole time I’m eating, I keep thinking “this bite is SO good! How can it get any better?” And then the next bite it even better!!! I don’t know how they do it, but the fresh flavors mixed with the unique atmosphere m...
Mayd Modern Mediterranean
Honeycomb. Ice Cream. We don’t live local, but we’ve played with the idea of traveling with dried ice so we could take some home! It’s amazing. It’s delicious. It’s literally the reason why we go to Fresno.
We talked to the employees who told us t...
Ampersand Ice Cream
They always have a line that stretches out the door and around the shopping center. And people wait! It’s THAT good!
Sister company to Mayd Modern, it’s the same fresh ingredients with unique flavors that keep us coming back for more!
Heirloom
We are not usually impressed by Italian restaurants, but this was the exception! We were really pleased with their bruschetta and pasta dishes. Their portions are HUGE so be prepared for leftovers. It’s definitely on our list of places to eat when we...
Diciccos Italian Restaurant of Fresno and the Central Valley
