Taqueria Bernardino

This is my go to lunch place when i'm in ridgecrest.Its good food, quick service at a reasonable price. Prior to COVID, they were packed daily. Now, not soo much, which makes for a nice dining experience.

Ordered the tampiquena for takeout. When I got it home, I saw that the steak was diced into tiny, fingernail-sized chunks instead of a solid strip of skirt steak. What the heck? I have no idea if they gave me the wrong order, or if that's just how they make it at Bernardinos.Other disappointments: rock-hard, unripe avocado (literally too hard to bite) and pico de gallo that was at least 95% diced tomatoes. Are people afraid of cilantro and onions here?The horchata was good, but I don't think I'll be coming back.

This is the "Macho" Burrito that I ordered with double meat. I was informed by the staff that I would be charged extra for the double meat and was happy to do so. The burrito is supposed to have meat, rice, beans, cheese, pics and quac. I've had a better beef burrito from Del Taco. Absolutely disappointed. That was a 13$ burrito.

I wish i could give -5 review!!!We came in at 7:48pm and were greeted with, "we close at 8".So that means they don't close at 8pm, they close sooner and probably had already cleaned the kitchen. SO RUDE!!! I don't recommend patronizing this place at all!!!Hours of Operation should be Honored if you walk in before they close, not employees ready to leave and making patrons like us feel unwanted and especially me, who is a person who writes reviews, just because they don't want to serve us and go home!!!Don't worry, we'll never come back and hopefully others won't either!This way, no one will have a job and everyone can be off work.So disheartening!!!

We came here for 69 birthday of my friend and I asked Ailoni for a birthday cake but instead she came with the owner father to sing happy birthday for my friend. Such a beautiful surprise. Ailoni is best server.

I had the shrimp fajitas during my first ever visit. Here are the pros: enjoy the flavors, good amount of shrimp, friendly service. Cons: I had one large flour tortilla and was expecting 3-4 smaller ones. Who just eats one large tortilla and the other con was my husband didn't like the chicken chimichanga which was plain, bland, and as he called it "subpar." I would recommend asking the employee there what's good. For me personally I would go back again. Oh I also enjoyed the chips and guacamole.

Great chicken tortes. They have two locations. One is in Inyokern and one in Ridgecrest. We stop here every time we are in the area. Great salsa too. Friendly waitresses.

Tastes like home. Five stars not enough. Not sure why I haven't left a review before. Bernardo's my childhood. The one in Ridgecrest AND Inyokern. They have the best salsa recipe in the world! And beans! And rice! And, everything!

The ratings are accurate. Food quality is pretty descent. I had a breakfast burrito to go as I was on the move. It was definitely very tasty although it didn't have the hot sauce I orderedI'm definitely going back to get some more of the delicious food.

I walked in just before the lunch rush and decided to sit down and eat. I found a table pretty quickly and pretty much knew what I wanted to eat. I ordered two carne asada tacos, two chicken tacos, and a side of rice and beans. All the food was brought out very quickly. These were some of the best tacos I have had in a while. They had tons flavor and combined with the green salsa, onions and cilantro, it made it just that much more delicious.
