Menu has everything from pasta, steaks to tacos and tortas. Also suggests itâs brazilian fusion...itâs just confusing.Prices range between steakhouse prices to inexpensive...Its just confusing.People were dressed from suits to shorts...Itâs just confusing.Service was good. Pork barbaroca was okay. Beans ok but rice was over cooked and mushy.Jazzy style band started playing on the stage about 7.Tables are well spaced and seems to be space for some dancing but I didnât see any.

Went to Molcajetes Saturday night, started out with a couple margaritas on the rocks excellent! Lisa was our server and was great good service without smothering us, very friendly and down to earth. Salsa and chips were great and plentiful. We ordered there specialty shrimp,steak, and Chorizo in a piping hot Molcajete in a spicy sauce with onions and cactus. What more can I say delicious!! Cane with rice, beans, and hot torts. Also had a shredded beef taco the was very good. Friends had spinach stuffed chicken that they really enjoyed. We will be returning soon.

Not the greatest location, but man is the food delicious! Arizona Cafe is located in old town Bakersfield and is in close proximity to other iconic restaraunts. This place has been dishing up authentic down home Mexican food for over 55 years. No wonder the place was packed when we walked in! The building is old, but very clean and well maintained. And the food...well let's just say that it's simply amazing and well worth the wait. If you're looking for authentic delicious Mexican food in a friendly, unpretentious environment, look no further than the Arizona Cafe. I can't wait to go back!

I went there alone for a lunch and was so disappointed in the amount of food, the wait time and the staff rudeness. The food was sparse, not like your usual Mexican restaurants. But the quantity was not the real problem; it felt unfriendly and like I was in the way. I left so unsatisfied and won't go back. La Mina's and others are so much better.

Literally my favorite taco place in town! I have been going there since I was 5. I would go there every night if I could. Just amazing! The sopes are amazing and their pickled onions are to die for. Can't go wrong with a perfect street taco from them

Ok they do a great take on micheladas. The food while very good, does not have enough kick for me personally. But is probably perfect for your casual diner that likes it mild. Atmosphere is great, love the muerto theme going on. Lots of color. Food is fresh and tasty.

The six of us stopped by for dinnerWe had mixed feedbacks;Our six years old didnât like her kids meal which was a bit too dry My starter was just OK, it should have been bread filled with potatoes and chorizo - it felt more like spiced breadThe burrito we had was just wonderful so was the fajita So a bit of both worlds - I suppose that with experience we could order better and match the same level of ranking like Iâve seen others have given the restaurant ... next time
