They have awesome baklava, too! 35.376181 -119.020283 http://www.kernlife.com/home/Blog/pachecod/6843 Another favorite of mine is <a href="http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Business/CafeMed">Cafe Med</a>. It's a little pricey, but well worth it if you have a special occasion to celebrate. My favorite dish there is the bourbon steak. Love their hummous and olive spread, too. 35.354128 -119.055464 http://www.kernlife.com/home/Blog/pachecod/6842 One of my favorite restaurants in Bakersfield is <a href="http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Business/MamaRoombas">Mama Roomba's</a>. It has great Cuban food. The best dishes, which I always have to get, are the Peruvian shrimp ceviche and tritip steak, which comes with the most amazing herb sauce I've ever had! 35.375452 -119.019960 http://www.kernlife.com/home/Blog/pachecod/6841 I first came to Bakersfield three years ago, so I still feel pretty new. This blog is about what I've learned about this town, cool places I've found, and that sort of thing. I work downtown on Eye Street. 35.374448 -119.019958
