Hubby and I decided to try this place on a whim and I'm glad we did. We ordered the Luna platter and the Lunar Eclipse drink. Both were amazing. We will definitely come here again for dinner. We had fast and friendly service.

This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant in Bakersfield. Everything is so good. The fresh made guacamole and salsa and the cheese dip are delicious. The waiters are very attentive and kept up with everything. Everything tastes really fresh you can't go wrong with the Cadillac margaritas either, they are massive! The vibe inside is quite nice. It's different than most Mexican restaurants. It's almost like a higher end restaurant. Everything I've had here has been good so I can't complain. I really like the fresh tortillas too.

We really enjoy the fast and attentive service from Josue every time we come here. We tend to be late diners, so we love that the place isn't packed and isn't loud or bustling. The food is delicious and portions are big enough for two.

We always have a great experience at SYL. The staff is very friendly and attentive. We love it there. It was my son's birthday and this restaurant was his choice, when he could have gone anywhere. We really like the decor. You feel as if you're in a Mexican restaurant but it is classy and feels special. This is great place for a date as well as a large family dinner. The food is always amazing. The salsa has to be one of the best in Bakersfield. I ordered the shrimp relleno. Chicken mole was also ordered. They make their own mole and you can tell. There was also a steak dinner that was devoured. You really can't go wrong with anything off their menu. The drinks were strong and tasty! I appreciate a good margarita. Generous size glasses. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!

When I have a hankering for mole, this is where I go. I mean they have other great dishes and don't forget the tortillas are always freshly made! But the mole... I mean how can it be so rich, spicy and layered with flavors? Obviously they make it in house, nothing tasting that good comes from a jar. I mean maybe you don't like mole, but have you tried this one? It's one mind-changing mole... I know people who decided they actually like mole after trying this one. Okay so the service is ALWAYS superb, the chips and salsa are really good and there's an extensive drink menu. It's a place to go for a nice dinner, date or special event. But it's also a place that beckons me on a Tuesday evening, when I just stop in, sit in the bar and order dinner. If you haven't tried it, you simply must, and try the mole.
