Bakersfield · Est. Tradition
From the first taste of our signature tejuino to the last lingering moment at the bar — Don Tejuino #1 turns an ordinary evening into something you'll carry with you.
Our Story
Don Tejuino #1 was born from a simple conviction: that the flavors of Mexico deserve to be honored, not rushed. Our recipes have been passed down through generations — each bowl of tejuino, each tamale, each cocktail crafted the way it always has been, because the old ways work.
Located on South Union Avenue in the heart of Bakersfield, we've built a space where families gather for Sunday brunch, friends raise glasses at the bar, and first-time visitors become regulars before they leave. This isn't just a restaurant — it's a place that feels like home.

The Experience
Rich wood tones, soft ambient light, and the gentle hum of conversation create a space that feels both refined and deeply comfortable. Whether you're dining alone or celebrating with a crowd, you'll feel right at home.
Our bar program honors Mexican spirit traditions — from artisanal mezcal and premium tequila to house-made shrubs and bitters. Every cocktail is a conversation between heritage and craft.
Birthdays, anniversaries, Sunday lunches with the family — Don Tejuino #1 is designed for the moments that matter. Our team treats every guest like a valued part of the table.
