Nuestro Mexico
Nuestro Mexico is a family-run Mexican restaurant in Bakersfield, California, that Thrillist named in 2018 as having the best tacos in California.
History
In 2018 Thrillist published a state-by-state list of the best tacos in the United States, and its California judge, Matt Meltzer, chose Nuestro Mexico's carne asada taco. Bakersfield television station KBAK/KBFX reported on the selection, describing the restaurant as bright, colorful and family-run. Co-owner Josue Sanchez told the station the recognition came as a surprise and credited the staff's care for the food.
Menu
The honored taco is filled with grilled steak marinated in a Mexican spice blend; Meltzer remarked that a single taco carries roughly three street tacos' worth of meat. The restaurant serves a broader Mexican menu beyond tacos.
