Bakersfield Penn Ave - Pittsburgh
Linda Varvel **Don’t sleep on the fish tacos**
I hit up Bakersfield while in Pittsburgh for a work trip. I sat at the bar and was greeted warmly by the bartender who took time to share his personal recommendations with me. I ordered the short rib queso, two tacos, and a salad.
For the salad I had the small “Willie” and it was a great option - crunchy, fresh, and a nice dressing. The small was also a lot of salad for the money!
For the tacos I had the short rib taco, and the fish taco. I personally loved the fish taco and would have had two of those over the short rib taco had I known how delightful the fish taco would be (crunchy fish, fresh slaw on top…yum!). I paired both tacos with the Bakersfield house made hot sauce.
I also enjoyed a honey dew margarita with my meal. I have to say, I thought about that margarita all day the following day. Such great flavor, and freshness.
I can’t say enough good about this place. If you’re in Pittsburgh , find it and eat there.
