The Curbside Kitchen

Difficult for me to make it to downtown during this food truck’s operating hours. Have only tried their food one time. I probably did not order one of the best items off their menu. That’s what happens when I do not read Unilocal reviews beforehand so I know what to order!
Cheeseburger is what I bought cause I was craving one at the time. It wasn’t bad, but nothing special either. In N’ Out is better. (3 stars)
Garlic fries was my choice for the side. Now those were some yummy fries! I have no problem recommending those flavorful fries! (4 stars)
Whenever I have another chance to catch them, I will try some of their other items recommended by my Unilocaler friends. Til then, I am giving Curbside Kitchen 3.5 stars!

I got the Philly cheesesteak and garlic fries. My oh my. DELICIOUS. fresh, good food. You know you’re eating good quality homemade food fresh from their cooking. So good! Prices are great for the quality and amount you get. Also very friendly customer service. One of the best food trucks around by far!

My co-​worker and I seem to go here at least once a week! I do not check in every single time I go, but I should! It is near my work so it is a convenient drive, but the food being really delicious is the primary reason of why we keep coming back.
The food truck is located across the street from the Padre on the corner of H St. and 18^th St. It is on the parking lot of an old mini mart that just recently shut down. If there is no parking on the little lot, there is a parking structure right next to it and there is no charge to park there. If you are in a hurry, you could call in your order and they will have it ready when you get there.
I have tried the burgers, fries (regular, garlic, and chili cheese), tortas, tacos, sopes, and huaraches. They are all very good and the presentation is amazing. I eat with my eyes first before I devour my food. It takes a lot of strength for me to take a picture of it first to post and show you guys what my food looks like. If you are in the area, it is a must try! I am never disappointed with their food items.

Today was my 5^th occasion having Curbside & almost every time has been at a different location! I’ve had them at CSUB, downtown, and at a private wedding at Hathaway Ranch previously — they’re killing it.
I just trekked to Amestoys for the first time to track them down — take care that there is no signage or truck outside when they’re cooking here, you would only know Curbside is available there (inside) by word of mouth/​social media. The Amestoys menu is abbreviated for now and seems to be focusing on slowly refreshing the idea of standard bar fare (they’ve just started serving at this location) — I hope they continue to expand to their usual shenanigans, the extended menu is where you want to be.
The salsa is no joke, nice and spicy with flavor — not just hot for the sake of being hot. They post location (s) on Facebook and Instagram — catch them where you can, it’s worth it.

This food truck is the real deal! I ordered 4 asda tacos with everything. I have had alot of tacos from many different places. None of them have matched up to a food truck in Turlock, CA. Until now! Curbside Kitchen has an amazing hot sauce for their tacos. The carne asada was cooked perfectly. I can’t wait to try someone else from the menu. The owner took my order and chatted a little about one of his creations he sold as a special the day before. I will be back and recommend this truck for everyone else! The prices are really good too!!!

Everything I have had from here has been AMAZING! Chili cheese fries, burrito, breakfast burrito, curbside bowl, tacos! It’s all bomb! If ordering for pick up, give them 5 more minutes than they say.

The guy we spoke to is so nice! It’s well organized and the food did not take too long. I ordered the veggie burrito and it had quinoia and it was absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the cheeseburger and he said it was old fashioned goodness! Definitely going back to try other things for breakfast and for lunch !

Finally tried this place after a couple of suggestions from my sister. I ordered a beef quesadilla a chicken bowl and a pupusa. Everything was good the salsa spicy for me but delicious, pupusa was good and the curtido close to my my moms I think. Friendly and fast service will be coming back for more! Oh and the horchata was so good my sister thinks it’s to sweet but for me it was delicious.

Had their Krabby Patty and was not let down! loved every bite.
Fries were outstandingly tasty.
Fast and Great service.

Okay. I really, really want to LOVE this place, im just not there … YET.
My only complaint is the organization. I know, i know, its a food truck. At, the same time though, I would not classify Curbside as your typical «Roach Coach.»
My food was delicious — so for that 5 STARS.
I have been to Curbside twice now. There is no designated spot to «order» which creates confusion and a bit of chaos. One person jots down your order on a tablet or when busier writes it on an order ticket and hands it to the person ringing. She then has to ask who had blankey blank and that person then has to come up and pay. Also, they do not take names or assign numbers — so when your order is ready, it’s like … who had the blankety blank again. Also, on both occasions I ordered the special which included a drink. On my first visit, after I got my order I was confused as it had no drink, but assumed perhaps I had just mis-​understood what the special included. Since the truck had no soda fountain I could see, I assumed this was the case and proceeded into the gas station to buy a drink. On my second visit I again ordered the special and took note it DID include a drink. So again when I was handed my order with no drink, I asked about it. The guy asked if he had given me a ticket to which I said «no» and he then gave me a ticket to take into the gas station and get my drink.
So, I guess my point is that, some comunication and a bit of organization would really be great. Not only would it help any new comers, but It would also cut down on the total time it takes to get your order, which is huge when were talking about people on thier lunch hour. These guys pump out orders quite quickly, but it seems to take a damn act of congress to place it.
All of the above aside, I can’t wait to come back and try the happy hours dollar tacos — those things look amazing. THANK YOU Curbside for brining good food to us downtowners!

Excellent food! I kept seeing this truck on my way home and finally remembered today for lunch to check it out. Delicious, I was craving a burger and this place has it all. I ordered an horchata with my bacon cheeseburger ! They have tacos snadwhiches and even waffles! Check this place out when you can it is delicious!

I’ve been dying to try this place. I was really looking forward to trying the breakfast burrito but I couldn’t say no to the special of the day. Today’s special was the Chilango curbside sandwich. I love the idea of it and it was executed perfectly. The service was fast and all of the staff was very friendly and helpful.
The Chilango Curbside Sandwich: Queso tamale torta (I got the pork tamale), bacon, mayo, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cilantro, and Curbside salsa. It comes with avocado & guacamole, but I requested it without. I love the way the bolillo was toasted. The tamale had such a great texture and flavor. It was perfect.
I love food trucks and this food truck adds so much more to Bakersfield. I almost felt like I was in big city for a moment.

Went to the curbside kitchen after my haircut downtown and I’ll I can say is wow!!! Chris the owner is a great guy super passionate about what he does! Tripas tacos were done the way they should be done. Only place I. Town that does them right! Also had the Korean Rib special! Wow!!! Can’t wait to share with my girlfriend!!!

It is good to have options for lunch in the downtown area.
So,
When this truck parked a block away from my place of employment, we were thrilled. My coworkers and I tried the usual food truck staple of Carne Asada Tacos. They are great. Red salsa is spicy and tasty. We ventured over for a breakfast burrito, and were not disappointed again.
But,
I decided to get brave and try their Curbside bowl with Carne Asada as my meat of choice.
Bad decision!!!
It had lettuce, quinoa, a little bit of Carne Asada and a whole lot of onions and green bell peppers! So many onions and bell peppers that it should have been called the Onion and Bell pepper special. Very overwhelming!
I should stick to what I know is great on that truck! I vote for Carne Asada Tacos.
That is the reason for 3 stars!!!

I have been following these guys on instagram for a few months and finally got the chance to swing by for lunch. The special was arepas, but by the time we got there those were gone so I settled for a Carne asada sope and order of garlic fries. The sope had great flavor with salsa that had some heat. Can’t wait to try the tacos next time. Sope’s are $ 3. The Garlic fries were an additional $ 3 and could have easily been shared with by at least 2 people. They were very crisp and a little too salty for me and I would have liked a little more garlic on them. But, Oh how I do love a good french fry and my motto is «leave no fry behind» but I tried with all my might and left a few behind.

I am so excited that we now have a food truck in town and a great one at that! I wanted to try multiple items before writing a full review so of course that meant I had to make multiple trips! I do this for you, really. ;)
I frequented them when they were located behind the hospital and tried a lot of things, aiming for something new every time. I had tacos, burgers, fries, breakfast burritos, and now, Arepas.
Honestly, I have liked every single thing I’ve tried. They have great specials too, always for under ten dollars and with plenty of food and a drink too! I have had no complaints on the food or the service. The owner is super friendly and always chats it up, between taking orders. Friendly people working this place. I prefer giving my money to someone living their dream than to a corporate machine! :)
Their new location is still downtown but across from the Padre Hotel and I hope they stay because there is still so much more to try! They have a vast menu, spicy salsa, a wide variety of drinks, and you can even call ahead to order. What more can you ask for! This place hits it out of the park for me!

Saw this place on Instagram and decided to check it out. The meat was very clean, no chunks of fat in the asada like many places. Locally owned, amazing flavors, freshly made, fair prices, and the owner was super nice. Definitely worth the trip downtown.

Two of my co-​workers invited me to lunch but since they know how much I Unilocal they asked if there were any places I would like to try out. Since I’ve seen many Unilocalers check out The Curbside Kitchen I figured lets check it out.
When we first arrived there was no one else in line but after ordering the Mercy Hospital employees started filtering over. I take a glance at their menu and I automatically see the Jjuliette which is a double burger with pastrami. There are other places I’ve been to in Bakersfield and Delano and I absolutely love the Pastrami Burgers so I had to try theirs. I’m a fool for Chili Cheese Fries as well so I ordered those.
Juliette Burger — 2.75 Stars to be exact. You hear double burger and expectations should be where the patties are a good size and juicy but this was neither to be honest. It tasted like they didn’t season the patties and the patties reminded me of McDonalds.
The pastrami was good but not great, the spices in it just did not burst in my mouth like I expect from pastrami. Besides those negatives, what could have probably brought this burger up was if they didn’t use just a regular bun. Again, the bun reminded me of McDonalds, I would like to see if maybe they used another type or even toast the bun.
Chili Cheese Fries — 3 Stars would suffice and it is the combination of the chili with the cheese and it was well balanced there but next time I will request for onions on top. The fries itself was good but I would have loved it if they were bigger sized fries like from Tommy’s, but none the less I would order again.
My co-​workers ordered the San Diego Chicken Sandwich and regular fries and the special which I can’t remember the name but I posted the picture. The San Diego sandwich was good by what he said, hopefully he writes a review of some sort since he has a Unilocal account, I’m talking to you John C!!!
The one who ordered the special absolutely loved his, it was a greek sandwich with falafels from what he explained with a nice spice mixture that presented some nice heat. The bread they used was toasted and was lathered with a garlic butter spread, he said 4 stars! Hopefully he writes a review as well, Brandon R!
I’ve looked at other pictures for The Curbside Kitchen and next time I will be trying their tacos, so yes I will return soon. And people are raving about their breakfast burritos and would like to try that out too. This 3 stars review is only for the time being and I plan to return in the future to try other things and possibly the same I had today to see if anything gets better.

There isn’t an item on the menu that I don’t like. Everything is gold. Service is great and I like the set up of having the host up front and delivering orders. Follow them on Instagram or Twitter to get updates on their location plus info about specials. Prices are ridiculously reasonable.
Their burger is the BEST in Bakersfield, hands down. Sliced lettuce, juicy burger, soft bun — so many great points hit in that burger. It’s not pretentious and it ain’t a simpleton. It’s just wholesome, delicious munchies.

A food truck in Bakersfield? Oh yes! We’re moving up in the foodie world.
Located on the corner of 16^th Street and D Street in downtown Bako, this little food truck is a God-​send for the employees of nearby Mercy Hospital and other businesses.
We arrived to find half a dozen people already standing outside the truck, with a guy outside taking phone orders. He was quite busy taking those orders, so don’t be surprised if you call in and can’t get through; just plan on calling far enough ahead to avoid the lunch rush. In fact, calling ahead seems to be the ideal game plan. Not that the wait for long, but standing outside certainly makes it feel longer than it is.
After seeing their drool-​worthy Instagram photo of the Pambazo, I was sold. What is a pambazo? Well, think a torta but way messier. It’s filled with potatoes and chorizo, and finished off with some of the typical torta toppings. Then (here’s the kicker!) it’s drenched in a red pepper sauce. Grab a handful of napkins with this sandwich; you’re going to need them.
In all, I was pleased with the quality and efficiency of The Curbside Kitchen; and just in time since NV Café closed their doors recently. I’m excited to try some of their other menu items.
