Por favor no senor! Si Senor Grill is pretty far from being a serious contender is the local Mexican food industry.

We dined there last night. I had read all of the reviews here and went in with an objective mind. We had dined there once before, but it was a birthday party and we just ate whatever was ordered for the party. This was our first dinner experience.

At first I was impressed with the prompt seating and having our drink order taken right away. The promptness wore off pretty fast though. As is customary in most mexican food restaurants, the chips and salsa were on the table in short order. This was the first of many disappointments for me. The chips were clearly from a bag. Maybe from Smart & Final. The salsa was satisfactory. I always like to order a small bowl of Chile Verde to dip the chips in so I can sample it. I found the Chile Verde to be very watery and greasy. At least I knew not to order that for dinner.

For our main course I ordered the Camarones Si Senor. The description sold me on the dish. I was really let down. Basically what I got was Bacon Wrapped Shrimp that seemed to be deep fried along with grilled bell pepper and onion. On the side they served green rice (yuck) and brown broccoli. Oh, by the way, the shrimp and grilled veggies were covered in a brown gravy?

My wife had Seafood Enciladas that she did not finish. My kids had hamburgers that immediately took me back to the days of cafeteria lunches in elementary school. The best looking thing on the table were the potato wedge style fries my kids got with their meals.

If the service had been better I would have had a couple more Margaritas. But, alas, the service was lackluster at best so they lost out on those sales.

In conclusion, for really good Mexican food go somewhere else. If your are interested in uninspired dishes, slow service and a nice building, then Si Senor will do just fine.

Bad food, the only good thing is the guacamole. Service in the restaurant is good - even great if Sam is the waiter. But the bar lacks a full time bartender which hurts the local residents who want a drink and appetizers or dinner at the bar. The owner and son are obnoxious if you have a problem with your meal or service, they don't seem to care about the old saying "the customer is always right" and they don't offer to make it up to you.

THUMBS DOWN TO SI SENOR GRILL

My family and I absolutly love the food here.  Everytime we go the service is great, the waitress is very nice and very attentive!  They have the best rice and salsa there! My mom loves the Sunday brunch, my husband loves the mexican tacos.  I have never had any kind of bad experience here, in my oppinion they serve the most authentic mexican food I have ever had in Bakersfield.
