El Michoacano

Oh boy. Where to even start. I came in starving for some steak or some type of beef. Since I work out regularly, I asked for the highest protein and tastiest item that is available on the menu. I was promptly guided to the steak fajitas.I asked for double steak, and asked if it would be an issue, since some restaurants won't offer it, or just do "extra". EJ said, for the extra charge, I'll make it happen. No hassle, simply offered exactly what I requested. Then I asked for spicy salsa. The kind mom or grandma makes that is spicy enough to leave that tingly feeling on your tongue right before burning it off. They actually have arbol red salsa. I am definitely bringing back the family.

We live in NW Bakersfield and the drive to this little hidden treasure in Shafter is worth it; no matter where you live! There is nothing here that we've eaten that we didn't like!My husband loves the Burrito Magnifico Wet... IT'S HOT!! But he likes it that way!!! I ordered the Enchiladas Trio and that was an experience on its own, so so good; and a good way to try a lil of everything!The service was spot on and the atmosphere was casual. Definitely a secret spot for some of the best Mexican food around!!

Service is always amazing, staff is so friendly and the food is always hot and always consistent. It's a quiet little place that is so comfortable. We love go ALL the time!!!

We were in Shafter this afternoon and had to stop by for lunch. As previously, we were greeted at the door with welcoming hello's and stepped into what is now our favorite booth. Immediately EJ came over with menus and water. After pouring over the specials and the menu, hubby decided on the Chile Colorado Burrito, wet and I chose the Sizzling Enchiladas al Pastor special. While we waited for our meals, we chowed down on warm, seasoned chips and chunky, spicy salsa. (Woo-wee, that salsa is spicy) Lunch arrived and hubby's burrito was huge, covered in red sauce with a dollop of fresh sour cream. My lunch consisted of three sizzling enchiladas on a very hot skillet with cotija cheese, sour cream, and a side plate of beans and rice, mmm, yum. If you're looking for a little kick, be sure to ask for their homemade red sauce (they also have a green sauce). We left there satisfied and with leftovers for dinner.

Oh my goodness!! This place was DELICIOUS. We had the Chile verde dip and I am obsessed . I cannot stop thinking about it and can't wait to go back! Service was great! Fast service . We were all very happy with our meals and definitely will keep coming back !

Best Mexican food this is our favorite Mexican food restaurant If you'd like to Chile Verde then you should try their Chile Verde quesadilla!!!

This was the best Mexican food I have ever tasted. I've visited many Mexican restaurants over the years and El Michoacano is worth the drive to Shafter. The food was so flavorful. I had a cheese enchilada, ground beef taco, rice, and beans. Every bite was perfection. Even the refried beans were so delicious, well I was pleasantly surprised. Our waitress was so nice and made some suggestions to us about their sauces. She hit the mark! If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I would. Please make the drive to Shafter. There is a parking lot and street parking, too. You won't be sorry.

The food is so good here, they have a large menu but everything is good!even the deserts. I eat here 3 times a week

El mejor y picoso chile colorado que he probado en mi vida ,Totalmente recomendado para los que les gusta lo picoso y tortillas hechas a mano .

Best Mexican restaurant hands down. Their salsa is AMAZING and the service is great as well. As much as I'd love this place to be a secret they deserve all the business! Worth the drive!
