BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Raise your glasses to Manuel's Casa de Mariscos in Downtown Bakersfield!

The Mexican cuisine was voted this year's winner of the second annual Kern Margarita Championship Saturday evening.

Thirteen restaurants participated in the contest, which was held virtually this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

All proceeds from the contest go to the Josh Farler Foundation, which provides food, transportation and housing when local cancer patients have to travel to treatment.
