This was always the go to place when I was a local and now I always come here when in town visiting friends or doing business. Great atmosphere and food is awesome! Highly recommend if in SD.
We were visiting from San Antonio. This was some of the best Mexican food we have ever had. The mango margarita was awesome. Thanks to our great waitress, Gabriella. �
Excellent! Everything! Once we got seated service was very fast, food came out hot beverages always kept filled and servers and waitress very friendly. Highly recommend.
We love it!! We visit San Diego quite frequently and always stop in for margarita's (the best) and the food is spot on. Never disappointed.
Gabriela our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. Every time I come to San Diego this is the place I come eat. Gabriela was one step ahead when we needed something, she brought it before we had to ask & when we left we forgot the wallet in the table and she ran out to find us.
Thank you for a wonderful birthday dinner. I eat at Barra barra frequently. It's the best! Followed by walking to the gazebo for an evening of dancing. Luv it!
Fantastic server. Amazing Mexican authentic food. Best we have had!
This restaurant is great! We walked up at quarter to nine, they seated us and promptly took our order. We had our dinner 10 to 15 minutes after ordering. The waitress was great and promptly check on us throughout our dinner. Dinner was very good. About the only issue we had was three Asian kids that were not being watched by their parents, and were playing by the fire we had been seated next to, when I was about about tp complain, the server told the kids they were not allowed to play there, and their family promptly left. This restaurant is now my favorite whenever I visit Old Town San Diego again.�
Always our go to place to dine. Great food and service.
Wonderful dining experience and super service! I highly recommend it!
Our service was excellent by Michael, food and Micheladas we're on point!!!
Really enjoyable experience. Usually, hard to find good chicken fajitas, but these were awesome. Lots of green and red peppers, onions, chicken and other essential items. Good bean dip and hot sauce for tortilla chips. Good selection of beer and margaritas. Sat immediately and excellent service. Food came out in less than 10 minutes. Only objection was a 4% additional charge for "increased costs" added to check. They should just increase their prices. Would definitely be back next time in Old Town.
Delicious and cozy! We sat right next to the fireplace, but the whole restaurant had a cozy feel to it. The food was amazing, with very large portions, and the staff were great! Even the kids' meals had a lot of food. We ordered the Barra Barra burrito, chile relleno, chicken mole, and the kids salad and cheese enchilada.
Always a pleasure to visit when in Old Town 😀 My son loves their bean dip and the bean/rice plate. Treated the hubby to their famous Seafood Paella 🥘 😋 It was delicious and a must try. I ordered my usual - Taco (fish), chicken 🫔 and Enchilada (shrimp) 🤪 No Margarita this time, but I will next time! Enjoy 😁
Great Mexican restaurant located at the center of Old Town. It has indoor and outdoor seating that is nestled in the central location of Old Town. The outdoor seating has a great view into the Old Town courtyard. The service is always amazing. They ensure you are served and that your food is always hot and ready. The wait staff speaks both English and Spanish. The chips with the bean dip and salsa are such a unique touch you can only get here. On this visit I got the salmon ceviche with the mango salsa. It was a deliciously curated portion. I recommend it for both kids and adults. It's a nice sit-down place for a date or a family outing. I will be back.
Gabriela, your smile and professionalism made our lunch a special moment. The dishes are abundant and very very tasty. I recommend this five stars place!!
I'm pleased we chose this place to try Mexican cuisine.
Tastes so good, large portions and the drinks are also fun. I chose Barra Barra sampler, to try a bit of everything!
I had a great dining experience for my first time here. The food was delicious, I loved it here. My friend and I were seated quickly, salsa and chips were served, and our meals were served shortly after that. I enjoyed everything I ordered, the flour tortillas were amazing my whole meal was perfect. The dessert was the best part, warm chocolate covered churros with filling, thoroughly enjoyed. Atmosphere was warm and inviting, the host and waitress were very friendly and checked on us for any needs, she was fast and a great server. I definitely recommend Barra Barra if you come to old town, you won’t regret it.
Barra Barra is a great spot to eat in Old Town San Diego. There is such a variety of appetizers and entrees to choose from. The food is made with distinct flavors of Mexican cuisine, with wholesome ingredients. I liked the outdoor dining options but decided to dine inside. This place is family owned and the service was great. The server/bartender Robert was very nice.
The food was great. Service started great and ended not so well. Overall was an OK experience. I'd definitely try it again. Carne asada tacos in the pic.
Food was perfect, served hot and tasty. Service was great and the atmosphere was inviting. Definitely recommend if you are visiting Old Town San Diego.
Pretty good that's served quickly. Even better is the staff, folks who are extremely friendly and attentive.
I ate there today and it was a good experience. Service was excellent and so was the food. I would go back. Pro tip: If there a lot of people waiting to be seated, you can skip the line and go straight to the bar. You can order food at the bar and eat there.
Best Mexican Food EVER. We come here every time we’re in San Diego. We make it a point to stop here to eat. It’s so good and when we have guest we bring them here to. Our kids even love it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.
great mexican food with generous portion, peaceful vibe. hard to find the parking spot on weekend. fajita was my favorite.
The service was good, the food came out quick and was so flavorful and wonderful we got the tamales and Indian flat bread taco and the Cali burrito. The pork was delicious! The Chile sauces on both dishes were divine!!
Yummy! Nice atmosphere great service, and totally yummy food.
