    Love their Pastor! I had a pastor taco on hand-made corn tortilla. Plus, they always give you a yummy tostada with beans and cheese and some sauteed veggies and a jalapenos and lemon or lime with every order.

    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!!!

    SoCal Tamale truly captures the experience and flavors of East Los Angeles taco trucks, but in a welcoming brick-and-mortar setting. The carne asada is absolutely on point, and their triple-filtered purified water is a nice touch. I can also personally vouch for the menudo—it’s excellent! My go-to plate is the huevos rancheros with meat, but the quesabirria tacos and consomme combo is another favorite of mine. Honestly, I haven’t tried anything here that I didn’t enjoy. What really stands out, though, is the staff. Everyone is always so kind and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Kudos to the team managing this location—you’re doing an amazing job. I SoCal Tamale!!
