There’s no shortage of fun at our neighborhood events, but if you ask anyone which event they look forward to most, chances are they’ll say our annual crowd favorite, Tacos & Tequila. For the past eight years, this springtime celebration has become a much-loved tradition—when we all raise a glass (or two), and enjoy one unforgettable evening under the stars, celebrating Bakersfield’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it spring.  It’s a party is all about good food, great drinks, and even better company.  

 

Our friends at Sol y Luna Mexican Cuisine never disappoint, serving up mouthwatering tacos that somehow taste even better when paired with a tangy, colorful margarita. And with tequilas to sample and flavors to explore, there’s a little something for everyone. 

 

But what truly turns this night into a fiesta is Leo Ruiz of La Revancha. Leo doesn’t just perform—he commands the night, strumming, singing, and dancing his way into everyone’s hearts. When Leo hits the mic, you can’t help but get up and dance right along with him. 

 

Of course, none of this would be possible without Nieves Rubio, the heart and soul behind Sol y Luna. Along with her amazing staff and Executive Chef Jesse, they bring the flavor, the energy, and the warm hospitality that makes this event feel like a celebration with family … which is exactly what Nieves wants.  Because when you come to Sol y Luna, she loves to treat you just like family, with a welcome smile, some lively conversation, and maybe a warm hug … only on this night, you don’t have to do the dishes. 

 

Can’t wait a whole year to get your taco and tequila fix? You don’t have to! Sol y Luna’s cantina patio is the perfect place for your next gathering—whether it’s a birthday, work party, or just a sunny afternoon with friends. 

So go ahead—Feed Your Soul at Sol y Luna. We sure did.
