So-Cal Tamal & Churro

Crema's Take
“This laid-back Bakersfield institution delivers authentic old-school Mexican street food with a genuinely family-friendly vibe that keeps locals coming back. Beyond their namesake tamales and churros, they're known for generously loaded burritos and bowls featuring quality carne asada, fresh toppings, and that coveted homemade guacamole—perfect whether you're grabbing quick or settling in for a leisurely meal. The Instagram-worthy presentation and L.A. street-style authenticity make it feel like a neighborhood spot that actually cares about getting the food right.”

Their food is delicious 😋. I usually get the burrito but I wanted to try their bowl. That's comes with carna sada, mexican rice and beans, lettuce, cheese and sour cream and guacamole and peico . It was really good 10/10
The food was great I could say it was authentic you had a good taste. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a laid-back type of vibe old school Mexican feel. I'm pretty picky so I looked around the restaurant and it was clean.
This isn’t even the first time we’ve ordered and gotten something wrong. The last we went we ordered a modified torta and got home to it completely plain. It really sucks because the food overall is really good, but as a business the one girl at the drive thru is not setting a good picture. Apart from that as we were ordering she kept cutting us off and put us down for a hot cheeto esquite when we ordered a regular.
First time here and I’m really impressed. I’ve been checking out their instagram and they always make the food look intriguing. My husband has been a fan without ever tasting the food and he’s been wanting to meet the star of the show on IG lol. The customer service was top tier. The food excellent. The proportion is more than enough to fill you up and the prices are budget friendly. I read the one star reviews some people were putting and honestly I don’t understand why. So cal takes pride in their hispanic roots and they provide quality stuff for their customers. They really placed a lot of effort and love on how the environment looks and how they serve their food.
Passing through Bakersfield yesterday and We wanted to find a good spot to eat Mexican food. I asked Google and SoCal Tamal & Churro Company came up. " L.A. Street Style Food." We ordered a wet burrito and a birria burrito. Absolutely delicious. There was so much more on their menu I wanted to try and will save for another time. The people and staff working were awesome making sure we were taking care of asking us if the food was good how everything was and provided us with anything we needed also the quickness from when we order to receiving our food nice and fresh was so awesome and the vibe is awesome everything is awesome I can't wait to go again. BRAVO!!! 🌯 🌮
