MarciMay 28, 2016The best margarita is definitely one of the best. The potato flautas were delish, very excited they were vegetarian friendly. The cheese & chile tamales are great.
- Kathy MayotteMay 29, 2013Enchilada and tacos are great - ask for guacamole and salsa. Hubby had corn salad as a side - also delicious!!! Just the right amount of "kick"!

Mary SAugust 28, 2015Finally, a great margarita for under ten dollars!!!! The food was also awesome. Try the swordfish tacos.- Zach Solomon-BeloinFebruary 4, 2015Stop by for taco Tuesday! Great tacos and the chips, salsa and bean dip is great

Khawla AbdullaJuly 23, 2015Seriously one of the yummiest virgin strawberry mojito ... one of the best sizziling chicken fajita .. service is good.
Love coming here. Grab a beer, watch the Thursday football game. Unfortunately NFL network has been canceled at barra barra. Guess I'll have to find a bar that has it.- Khawla AbdullaJuly 23, 2015Seriously one of the yummiest virgin strawberry margaritas... one of the best sizziling chicken fajita .. service is good.
ValentinoFebruary 14, 2014I had the bbq brisket platter and was not disappointed. I loved the atmosphere of the place as well.

Captain AwesomeOctober 19, 2011Don't bother with the $5 marg... splurge the $10 and get the bulldog. Also, the $2 tacos are good, but juicy!
Muerto TequilaSeptember 15, 2012Try the NEW Muerto Sunrise!!! Or the Muerto Reposado / Plata tequila!
Anthony SullivanApril 27, 2014Don't come here if you're alergic to dogs like I am. They allow patrons to bring their dogs with them and they could care less about your issues with not being able to breathe. Terrible!
DominicSeptember 4, 2011Go to coyote cafe instead. This place may have good drinks but the food is frozen, canned and unoriginal compared to others in old town
- JonApril 29, 2010The "best" margarita is just mix with a little booze added. Not even the real thing.

Jose GraciaMay 29, 2011Horchata and jamiaca drink is watered down and they said it was fine. Tortillas not as good as Los Coyote restaurant. Service was okay.- Steven CareyMay 28, 2011This place has the worst service I've ever received. Margaritas... Not the best. Asked ditsy waitress for more chips twice and never got em. Messed up drinks. Spilled water on my mom. No compensation.
