There's never a bad time to celebrate Taco Tuesday! If you're in search of the perfect taco, you're in luck! Our agents love sampling the local fare so they can share recommendations with their clients. 

We've done the hard work for you, visiting tons of taco spots until we found the best in the area (you can thank us later). When you're ready to take a break from exploring Bakersfield homes for sale, consider heading to one of these amazing local restaurants for a taco feast. 

• Los Tacos De Huicho – 123 E. 18th St., Bakersfield, CA 93305
  Los Tacos De Huicho doesn't serve fast food; they serve amazing food, fast. We love the fact that they make all their tortillas fresh and use real Mexican cheese. This goes a long way towards providing an authentic dining experience.
  
  We recommend the shrimp or fish tacos, as they're arguably the best you'll find in the Bakersfield area!

Paint. It's amazing how such a small word can be the source of comfort or regret. When it comes to paint, our agents have seen it all. From poor color choices to lousy techniques, paint regret is real and can have a real impact on the value of your home. Fortunately, you can do some simple things to protect yourself from bad decisions and utterly disastrous paint colors.

1. A Penny Saved is Sometimes Pound Foolish. Your home will appreciate in value. It's an asset that you must maintain and protect. While saving a few bucks on a can of paint may seem like a good idea, the fact is that poor quality paints are inferior to costlier but longer-lasting, options.
   
   
2. Know Your Limits. YouTube and Google are great places to get ideas and learn new tips and techniques. However, don't assume you're an expert just because you've watched a few episodes of This Old House or read up on the latest painting techniques. If you are not 100% confident that you can paint the interior/exterior of your home to the highest quality standards, hire a professional to do the work.

Tuesday, May 11th is an important day: Eat What You Want Day! If you're someone who usually pays close attention to your diet, this is your opportunity for a cheat day. Cast your low-carb diet to the side, and order those waffles. Take a break from your low-fat diet, and nosh on some ribs. If you happen to be in the Bakersfield area this day, our agents recommend checking out these top restaurants for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. 

• Donna Kaye's Cafe: 212 Oak St., Bakersfield CA, 93304
  Donna Kaye's is the perfect spot to stop for breakfast when you're looking at Bakersfield homes for sale. This is a small, local restaurant with a classic diner atmosphere and friendly service. The stuffed omelets at Donna Kay's are the perfect, filling treat on Eat What You Want Day. Or, if you're craving something sweet, try the fluffy cinnamon roll. They serve breakfast all day!

When looking for Bakersfield homes for sale, you might be in need of dedicated home office space. The thing is, though, you can put a home office almost anywhere. In fact, one of the most popular places for a home office is a closet.

The Cloffice

Over the last year, many people found themselves suddenly working from home. These new circumstances took some adjustment. Some people can work from their dining room table, couch, or even from bed. But most need a designated work area, to establish a routine and maintain productivity. Enter the cloffice.

Any closet can be converted into an office, even a small linen closet. Attach a sturdy shelf at just the right height, and put your laptop on it. Then get a small chair or stool that can fit underneath it. Add a few more shelves for storage space, and you've got yourself a cubicle. And that's just the beginning.
