点评:We were only going to be in town one night so we had to make the most of it. When we discovered that Basque restaurants were a thing in Bakersfield, we started reviewing the options. The safe bet appeared to be Wool Growers but we wanted a more "authentic" experience so we picked Pyrenes.
We wanted to sit at the bar so we arrived early concerned that this establishment's popularity meant it might be a problem. As it turned out when we walked in there was only on person sipping a beer at the bar. So we positioned ourselves at the end of the bar to enjoy the scene.
We knew about the "set up" but we were still unprepared for how much food we got. The bartender amicably agreed with that much food, ordering one set-up and one entrée was acceptable. On top of the traditional garlic friend chicken we had that whole set-up to deal with. So much food!
I like to say, "when in Rome..." so of course I had to try the pickled cow's tongue. I can see where it might grow on you but no, I did not finish it. In part because there were plenty of other things to share with my wife. For instance, that cottage cheese. Wow, full of onions and spices and I don't know what else. So good.
Needless to say between the food and the locals we talked to sitting at the bar, we had a great night. Clearly more of a locals place than a tourist place but very authentic which is what we wanted.

我们想坐在酒吧里,所以我们很早就到了,担心这家酒店的受欢迎程度意味着它可能会成为一个问题。事实证明,当我们走进去时,只有一个人在酒吧里喝着啤酒。所以我们把自己定位在酒吧的尽头欣赏这一幕。
我们知道“设置”,但我们仍然没有为我们得到多少食物做好准备。调酒师友好地同意这么多食物,点一份套餐和一份主菜是可以接受的。除了传统的大蒜朋友鸡之外,我们还需要处理整个设置。这么多食物!
我喜欢说,“在罗马的时候……”所以我当然要尝尝腌牛舌。我可以看到它可能会在您身上生长的地方,但是不,我没有完成它。部分原因是还有很多其他事情要与我的妻子分享。例如,那个干酪。哇,满满的洋葱和香料,我不知道还有什么。超好的。
不用说在食物和我们坐在酒吧聊天的当地人之间,我们度过了一个美好的夜晚。显然更像是当地人的地方而不是旅游胜地,但非常地道,这正是我们想要的。
