Taco Fusion

Taco Fusion is a food truck without the wheels. Well, at least they used to be. Heard that they are moving somewhere else. Before they reopen, I had to write a review about my experience here a couple months ago.
Arrived near closing time and there were no other customers around. The two gentlemen working there were nice and helpful. Always thought that my first time here, I would try their fat boy fries. That evening, though, tacos were my food of choice. Oh my goodness, those tacos were freakin amazing! The meats were all on point, and their homemade sauces they added to each individual taco made it all more flavorful. Pork Belly taco with the creamy cilantro sauce was my favorite! Loved the crunch of the Pork Belly meat! If I recall correctly, Asian BBQ Chicken and Lok Lak Beef were my two other tacos. Well, whatever they were, each was also very tasty.
Although they do not have a dining area, I ate everything right outside their place. Did not want to wait to get home or even eat in my car. Hopefully, their new place will have a place for patrons to eat. I cannot wait for them to reopen so I can try more of their menu! Need me some Fat Boy Fries!!! Taco Fusion is a welcome addition to town. Please reopen soon!

Believe the hype! Fat boy fries is a must try, but their tacos especially asian bbq anything with creamy cilantro on top is amazing. Ill get all technical here because i am a self proclaimed foodie/​food expert. You have sweet from the asian bbq marinade and the slightly savory from the creamy cilantro. And the fatboy fries well that is self explanatory hahaha

I’m a bit baffled that I never written a review for Taco Fusion since I’ve visited about 4 – 5 times now. I will say that they are temporarily closing (as of today I believe) and will re-​open soon somewhere else from what I understand.
I wanted to pay another visit before the temporary close so I came here for lunch yesterday. When arriving I did notice some of the menu items were blocked and not available anymore, as I did find this out when placing my phone order and wanting the Asian Pork as a meat. I’ll chalk this up to them probably clearing out ingredients as they close and wait to re-​open, but I’m not entirely sure.
What did I order? Well I was hungry so I ordered the FAT BOY FRIES, I chose Carne Asada and Pork Belly for the meat (I really wanted Asian Pork instead of the Carne Asada), chose the Creamy Cilantro sauce (no siracha today) and added a sunny side egg. One thing stood out when I received my order and went back to work to eat, **They changed the fries they use**
Why is this an issue for me? The previous visits the fries were thicker, almost like steak fries and they hold up against the cheese and sauce better. These thinner fries although still taste good, just becomes a bit too soggy, at least for me. Now don’t get me wrong, everything was still working well, flavor was great and I enjoyed it.
I have tried their tacos before and I will say that their Asian Pork Tacos are some of the best I have had, that is why I keep talking about the Asian Pork, damn good people. I wish Taco Fusion the best of luck in re-​opening soon because I am a fan, but I also hope they re-​open with their full menu returning and possibly adding more. I’ve heard so much about their Banh-​Mi sliders on a filipino bread (pandesol) but haven’t not been able to try them.
If you have tried Taco Fusion you know what I am raving about with their food, if you haven’t I hope you do get to chance to experience the fusion they are presenting to Bakersfield.

When I get my car worked on I usually go to la Fonda but this time I didn’t feel like walking so I checked out the little taco trailer just down from the Toyota dealership and it was amazing! I had their Asian BBQ chicken fries and I almost cried! They have great tacos and incredible sauces. The staff is really friendly and they will make their stuff however you want! This place is a hidden gem.

Taco fusion, I would see several pictures and hear talk about this place. I finally had a chance to stop by and check it out. First off I noticed this place only serves TO-​GO. There are no tables or benches outside. They have a large menu, great selection. It smelled delicious as I stepped up to the window to place my order. The two guys working there were very friendly and told my wife and I about their best selling plates.
So we ordered the popular plate of fries which is loaded with three cheeses and topped with carne asada, pot belly and an egg. We also ordered some tacos on the side. Everything was delicious, the fries were messy and the cheese was very stretchy. There isn’t anything I can complain about. Only thing is that when I got to the bottom of the plate fries, I finally noticed it had wax paper liner at the bottom and I had already been digging into it and had started eating it lol.

After all of the hype, I was excited to try this place. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my hopes.
I’ll start by arriving… there were no other customers around, which was surprising. As I walked up, the guys working the place were outside drinking and vaping… so sorry to interrupt! They ended up being friendly and discussing the different menu options. I ordered that fat boy fries, no egg. As I waited outside for my food, the guys, who had now migrated inside, began to discuss various women that had been or would be on the «to visit» list soon. Guys will be guys, but save it for later, please. I paid for my food, which was not charged as advertised (overcharged) and went on my way.
Basically, what I got were fries smothered in cheese and meat. It was a very large portion, but I would have liked something to freshen up the dish, especially considering the fusion aspect. The asada was salty (and I’m a salt person) and the pork belly was too tough.
Not sure if I’ll return. Maybe some time under their belt will help in getting it together.

2 stars = did not meet my expectations
Wow. .. I was definitely disappointed in my first exposure to this place. So much hype and so many great pictures of tasty LOOKING food. I have friends that swear by this place and was late to the party — maybe too late.
Stopped by today for lunch. Ordered an assortment of tacos: 2 BBQ chicken, 1 loklak beef taco, 1 pork belly taco and 1 fish taco. Tried them with the creamy cilantro, spicy cilantro and red chili sauces. Where was the flavor?!? The pork belly was bland, my son said his chicken tacos tasted like onion (that was after we stopped at Costco and stole some chopped onion. The loklak beef had some decent flavor but I could taste no red chili sauce. I need to spend some extra time discussing the fish taco. This taco cost $ 2 instead of the usual $ 1.75. My wife took a bite and told me «you can have the rest». I could taste nothing. Seriously — NOTHING! It was as if someone boiled some fish, breaded it (with no seasoning), fried it and then stuck it in a taco. We got this one with the spicy creamy cilantro sauce. I could taste no sauce. I could taste nothing at all.
Then, for added insult to injury, we ordered just the basic french fries. I know everyone raves about their «everything fries» with tons of stuff all over the top, but we didn’t want to over-​indulge. They were cooked well, but again — no salt. I dumped some ketchup on to the lid in a desperate attempt to make them appetizing only to have the packages squirt out some kind of blackish-​red pulp with a stream of watery-​red liquid. Yuck. We stole some ketchup from Costco too.
I don’t know what happened. Was it an off day? Have I lost my foodie abilities? I mean just look at all those stars. The gentleman that served us was nice, but nice only goes so far; for me not very far at all. At some point I will make another attempt at this place because I just can’t believe my experience could be so different from everyone else’s.
PS — this place is strictly a «to go» place. There is no where to sit unless you call your car or the curb «seating».

My new favorite spot in Bakersfield! FATBOY FRIES are BOMB DOT COM! I don’t travel to Bakersfield often, but when I do, I’m definitely heading to Taco Fusion! A small shack buried around a community of car dealerships, this is the perfect place to experience an ethnic and nontraditional yet deliciously fulfilling taco and everything yummy in the County of Kern.
A colleague and I were traveling to Bakersfield for a quick meeting and had arrived a little early. Being the adventurous food seeker I like to crown myself to be, I did a quick Unilocal search and voila, Taco Fusion appeared with some pretty good reviews but even better photos. Truth be told, one can only judge the true taste of happiness through self indulgence, so self indulge we did.
We stopped by taco Fusion and waited in a short line. We eventually ordered a variety of tacos including the lok lak, asian chicken, pork belly and carne asada. We also ordered the fatboy fries to share. This thing is MONSTROUS! It came with a huge batch of fries covered in carne asade and pork belly then topped with a perfectly fried egg with runny yolk through every bite. They also drizzle some fancy sauce on top that compliments and balances out every bite. Honestly, who was the genius that thought to pile on so much goodness and top it off with even more goodness then drizzle an extra layer of goodness?
After experiencing a food coma, we were reluctant to head to our meeting but did so on full yet happy stomachs. Gosh, how I wish I had to drive to Bakersfield more often just for another bite of those fries. I am convinced that this might be the greatest concoction of meat and potatoes from a small town known for their hot weather and agriculture.
Prices are VERY REASONABLE, service was QUICK and EFFICIENT and the food was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Until we meet again fatboy fries, I’ll be dreaming about you.

I’ve been to taco fusion twice and both times I got the fat boy fries. The 1^st time w an egg on top and the 2^nd time without it. (They give you soooo much food it seriously would take a person 2 – 3 days to finish it)
I’m not a food critic nor am I a professional food taster, but I do know what good food taste like and it taste just like the food they serve at taco fusion.
Seriously believe the name they give those fries «FAT BOY FRIES» because I literally turned into a «fat boy» hahha. (Woman turned fat boy)
I have been day dreaming about those fries since the moment I tried them the first time and you seriously need to try it! I got the pork belly and carne asada as a topping.
If you’re not on a diet and you’re not scared to «not» fit into your sexy jeans then you need to try them out!
But promise yourself to exercise after because the food is heavy and it is comfort food. Sooo good you will come back!

«Fusion» is an overly used word in the food industry. What is supposed to mean a blend between two different cuisines is now being equated to two different ingredients or dishes being literally combined. Just like oil and water, putting Mexican food with Asian fare tends to not come across exactly right. Sure Korean tacos are usually a winner in the food truck community but you really have to ask yourself if they are creating a unique mixture of cultures or merely piling stuff on a plate.
I am on the fence about this place. Their Instagram gloats extensively about their selection and produces this farce about being passionate people. However when I visited the location I didn’t see that. I encountered what I believe is a new employee because she had to ask the chef if they even serve fries. Their Asian fries are literally just cheese fries with Asian meet placed on top. You’d probably yield better results hitting up Panda Express for BBQ pork then picking up some super fries at many of the local Mexican joints in town.
The flavors of the Asian fries at Taco Fusion were good but not great. The BBQ pork was almost the texture of beef jerky. The fries were massacred by moisture because of how the dish was constructed and packaged and mind you I dug in less than 30 secs after getting it from the pick up window
I am unsure if I’ll be back but for sure I am one less follower on Instagram for them.

Fat boy fries are delicious and very filling.
Whatever they season their meat with is amazing, better than any mexican joint I’ve had in Bakersfield.
My wife got pizza fries and added carne asada to them.
Very impressed with how delicious this place is.
New favorite spot.

First time trying this little place would definitely go back we ordered a few things, chicken salad, Asian chicken wrap & Asian street tacos everything was delicious! Flavors were outstanding, and keep in mind it’s a taco truck so it does take a while so if your in a rush it’s not for you, one cook everything made fresh to order. A must try! Good luck with your business Taco Fusion!

Yesterday was our second time visiting and we weren’t disappointed. This time we chose to call in our order early– which was very easy by the way –and it was all perfectly ready by the time we arrived. We picked up some classic Carne Asada Tacos, and an order of their Curly Hot Dog, with creamy cilantro sauce and creamy sriracha sauce on the side. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that were just as amazing as they were the first time– I love consistency! But today we ventured out to try an apparent fan favorite… Fat Boy Fries!
Allow me to give you a forewarning! If you’re not a big eater, then you better have a friend or partner to help you finish off the Fat Boy Fries you’re thinking of ordering! There’s so much goodness in the large, white carton tray that they give you… Seasoned fries, lots of melted cheese, shredded cabbage, fried pork belly, and carne asada topped with a fresh fried egg! Oh– and never forget to ask for your favorite sauce! It’s definitely a must-​try!
We’ll definitely be back!

Taco Fusion is a great addition to the food scene in Bakersfield. I’ve tried several dishes here and found each to be impressive. The owners & staff are extremely friendly, seem to take pride in creating innovative dishes, and are always quick to answer questions about the various dishes on the menu. The various sauces here are freshly made which is a big bonus.
As others have mentioned, it’s tough to go wrong with the Fat Boy Fries. Any time you have fries with cheese, carne asada, creamy sriracha sauce, cabbage, & a fried egg on top, you know you are in for something amazing. Bring your appetite! Also great is the curly dog: a skewered hot dog that is wrapped with a curled fried potato. This also comes topped with cabbage and your choice of sauce.
A word to the wise: the spicy sauces here are legitimately hot. Try them on the side until you are certain you can handle them.
The only knock on Taco Fusion is the lack of seating. Seeing as it’s a food stand that’s not really a knock on them so much as a magical wish, like «I wish soda came in 5 liter bottles» or «There should be a Me lane on the freeway.» Get some amazing grub, head to a nearby park, and enjoy!

Let me tell you, the last two times I’ve come here they were closed so I’m happy to finally be able to try this place. Came with my sister since we were planning to look at cars. The location is a small hut type thing located in a parking lot next to Haddad Kia /​in front of Ford. There are a few parking spots but other than that it’s a pretty small location. Everything is under $ 10. They just recently started adding daily specials so that’s good if you aren’t great at making decisions. If you follow their instagram or facebook they do create off menu items that you can order. Below is what we ordered:
Cook time: ¹⁰⁄₁₅ minutes
Fat Boy Fries: fried pork belly & carne asada on a bed of fries topped with choice of two sauces (we got Creamy Cilantro and Spicy Creamy Sriracha) and finished with a sunny side up egg (optional). **so delicious and easily feeds 2 people. The pork belly and carne asada are nicely cooked and combined with the fries and egg, taste even better. The sauces are hot but manageable, they are mainly an after burn thing** (~$ 9)
Trio Plate: Pork belly, carne asada, and asian bbq chicken on top of rice with choice of sauces. Served with a cucumber side salad. **rice was cooked well which is actually really hard to find. I personally wasn’t a big fan of the chicken but again, I really like the pork belly and carne asada. The cucumber salad was decent, the vinaigrette was really good** (~$ 9)
Customer service was awesome. The cook was outside and saw us looking at the menu. He gave us options that were on the menu as well as their popular off menu items. He also gave us a tasting of their sauces to make sure we could handle the heat of some of them. My only recommendation would be to add a table or two where people could sit and eat, but I understand since there isn’t much room.
I’ll definitely be coming here more often.

Great food to go!
I had heard of the Fat Boy Fries on their secret menu. They were bomb. Container full of fries with cheese, carne asada, and the pork belly with a spicy siriacha mayo sauce. Delish! Got the kids the pollo quesadilla, they loved it. We also tried the tacos and were equally good. These guys are doing great, help support our local eateries!!!

Awesome service and personal :) but most of all the FOOD is great! It’s hole in the wall which I love!
Boba drinks are amazing they are not on the menu but you can order them! The fat boys fries are the best!!! They have chicharron with carne Asada cheese and some veggies, I also tried the curly dog which is great make sure to get the special.
Try their habanero sauce it’s my favorite and believe me I’ve tried all of the sauces my next suggestion is the strawberry habanero sauce it’s great!

My new favorite place! Super friendly, clean, great tasting place. They have special off menu items. Lots of sauces to choose from. So far I’ve ate, super curly dog with creamy cilantro sauce, curry chicken and pork belly tacos, Asian bbqing chichen with creamy sriracha, and a a sausage breakfast burrito with green sauce. Keep up the good work!

The Hype is Real People!!! Friendly people and awesome food! My husband and I got their Carne Asada tacos, fish taco, Carne Asada Quesadilla and their Trio Plate. And they are all Soooo good! Make sure you get their Creamy Siracha sauce. I’ll definitely be back and even become a regular. So what are you waiting for? Go!

I got say, this place takes the cake. Ive been waiting for a serious foodery to take to this little shack in the automall and it finally happened. This place will not dissapoint! Im eating carne asada fries with creamy hot sauce and its out of bounds as Guy Fieri would say!
If you work in the automall you are driving past a hidden gem everyday, stop waiting and go support local business! Ill be a regular here for sure. Thanks Kevin (owner I believe) Great recommendation on the fries, I might be back later today for those fried pork belly tacos! Perfect inexpensive lunch!
Currently my only recommendation to taco fusion would be seating/​more open seating and you guys should recommend a sauce that would pair with each different taco.
Stopped here again (**EDIT** they are open Monday through Friday not just Friday!)and got the pork belly taco, bbq chicken taco and a teriyaki chicken taco. The pork belly and teriyaki were off the chain good! Unfortunately the bbq chicken didnt hit my tastebuds correctly but I can see it being a favorite for someone else. I used the spicy creamy shirrachia sauce on all 3 of them and its was perfect (other than the bbq chicken but maybe a different sauce would change my mind on that one).
Overall this place is getting better and better for me, very nice folks and a quick inexpensively delicious lunch. Ill be back next friday and every friday after, thanks for the good food!
