    The 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.

    Enchilada and tacos are great - ask for guacamole and salsa. Hubby had corn salad as a side - also delicious!!! Just the right amount of "kick"!

    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.

    Don't bother with the $5 marg... splurge the $10 and get the bulldog. Also, the $2 tacos are good, but juicy!

    Don'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!

    Go to coyote cafe instead. This place may have good drinks but the food is frozen, canned and unoriginal compared to others in old town

    Horchata and jamiaca drink is watered down and they said it was fine. Tortillas not as good as Los Coyote restaurant. Service was okay.
