If you’re willing to step away from your typical daily diet, Bakersfield has a lot of food options to offer. With dining locations featuring food from around the world, Bakersfield is sure to please its residents. For all the foodies at CSUB, let us direct you to some diverse places to get a bite to eat. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage month, here are a few places to embrace the culture.
Red Pepper Restaurant
Red Pepper Restaurant has both a dining area and bar so it appeals to all ages. The restaurant separates itself from other Mexican dining establishments because it offers traditional Mexican food, not just the typical tacos and burritos. Their slogan reads: “There is Mexican food then there’s the Foods of Mexico.” The restaurant has set the bar for traditional Mexican cuisine and would be an excellent location to celebrate the culture.

Rincon Cubana
Rincon Cubana also known as the Cuban Café is a small, family owned business that has been serving the Bakersfield community since June of 2012. Rincon Cubana serves Cuban cuisine that blends Spanish, African and Aboriginal flavors. Rincon Cubana is completely worth the drive to the other side of town because all the food is of the best quality and made by people who were born and raised in Cuba. The Cuban Café offers indoor and outdoor seating as well as dine in and carry out options.

Victor’s Mexican Grill offers quick and delicious Mexican food options for those who appreciate local dining.

Victor’s Mexican Grill
Victor’s Mexican Grill was a summer hotspot with its authentic Mexican food. When customers walk into Victor’s Mexican Grill, they walk down an assembly line similar to Chipotle or Freeb!rd. With an array of toppings every customer will be satisfied. Victor’s Mexican Grill is owned and operated by Victor Lopez. Victor Lopez has also owned one other restaurant called El Adobe which was open for twenty successful years. Lopez chose to close down El Adobe in 2011 and that summer he opened Victor’s Mexican Grill which would be known for its fresh food.
