La Colonia Restaurant, Bakersfield

La Colonia Restaurant serves traditional Mexican cuisine alongside spicy classics. Try the chicken fajitas sautéed with bell pepper, tomato, and onion, or dig into a steak picado chimichanga burrito, which is crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Shrimp enchiladas and chile verde burritos come smothered in a layer of cheese, and the salmon dinner electrifies taste buds with a sweet chili sauce over a salad. Meals can end on an even sweeter note with fried peach burritos and fried ice cream topped with whipped cream.
