I always enjoy dropping into this historical landmark with my old compadre. Lots of history at this location. .
Recently we both had the Chili Verde plate with fresh flour tortillas and rice and beans .
The food is very authentic. However there is a little heat on the chili verde ,but it’s always extremely delicious .
Our sever, Marian was attentive and provided excellent service .
I highly recommend this landmark in Old Town Kern for a wonderful dining experience.

Came to try the chile verde huevos rancheros and the menudo. Food was delicious although the huevos ranchero threw me off as I was not used to having them like this with the chile verde. Place was packed and service was great.

The Arizona Cafe, an Old Town Kern institution for over 70 years, offers solid, traditional, and flavorful food. The service is friendly, speedy, and attentive. The breakfast counter provides a fun way to interact with your party or others and doubles as a bar. The cool vibe makes it definitely worth checking out!

In my opinion they serve the best Menudo in town. Ask for extra hominy and they won’t disappoint. Staff is friendly always service with a smile. You may catch a well known singer enjoying a meal from time to time. You’ll find his photos on the wall as proof. Music usually playing but not loud enough you can’t carry a conversation. Area is sketchy but don’t feel unsure I’ve never had any trouble in this area. If you’ve never been make sure to write your name down for a booth or table as you enter and wait to be seated. You won’t wait too long.

Don’t let the area that this cafe is located in fool you. It’s worth coming to. The food is amazing, staff is friendly and accommodating. There usually is a wait time, but if you don’t mind sitting at bar, you can be sat quicker. The food comes out hot, delicious and it is definitely authentic style of Mexican food.

It’s a small cafe not in the best side of town, not fancy but very clean and I felt really comfortable eating lunch alone there today. I ordered the chile relleno and a tostada with chile verde. The chile relleno was wonderful and came with sauce on the side to spoon on top. Loved the chile relleno. Their chips and salsa were good too. The tostada was delicious and the price was right only $6, But next I’ll try one of the other meats on top of it. The chile verde was a little tough but it was tasty.

Arizona Cafe has been a staple in Bakersfield for decades. Fresh, hot, good authentic Mexican food at a very reasonable price.
I’ve been here several times over the years, their food has always been consistently great.
I came in for breakfast, after I ordered my meal of chorizo con huevos it was served to me in five minutes, outstanding job, it was delicious.

Hands down, the best Mexican food I’ve ever had in my entire life. Super friendly, family vibe, cool atmosphere, and the best Mexican food you can have in Bakersfield. Come and have your mind blown. You will not regret it!

If I could leave a Zero star I would. Terrible carne with chile colorado. Menu says “steak”but they brought out chunks of stew meat in a red broth. Disgusting!! The server said “That’s how it is here” and never checked on us again. Terrible food, even worse service.
