After really enjoying for over a year, had the first disappointment, favorite Menu items gone, no more fried burritos, below average of their usually excellent Cadillac margaritas.

Lupe's chain of Mexican eateries is a great place to stop by to have a quick bite. The food is prepared fresh and authentic. The Dana Point place was crowded when we reached, the crowd was however okay. The staff however was very nice and helpful. Everything we ordered was good but I have had better version of it. Be it spicy shrimp or Briaaa taco. Do not order combo, the rice and beans are just a couple of spoons each. The seating is of fast food and the prices are normal on the lower side. So looking for good fresh authentic Mexican food, go here. With kids and family, I won't recommend. BTW the quesadilla was a a surprise, the tortillas was very very close to Indian plain parantha

I had a fantastic experience on my first visit here. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The food arrived quickly and was delicious - flavorful and well-prepared. The restaurant was clean, from the tables to the restrooms, which I always appreciate. The atmosphere had a great cantina vibe, perfect for a casual outing. I found the prices to be very reasonable, both for the food and drinks, although I didn't have a drink this time. I'll definitely be returning to try the drinks next time. Highly recommend!

Not worth the prices. The drinks are very expensive for what you get. There are far better options in Dana point. I’ve been coming here since they opened and the food has only gotten worse and more expensive since then.

Way less than impressed......Had heard good comments about La Barra, and we were really looking forward to trying it out. We were bummed. First, they handed us menus that had no prices. We asked the server about prices and she said "the prices change so often that we don't print them on the menus anymore." And she made us feel we were being a pain to ask about the pricing. Bottom line.... there we three of us. 3 burritos, 2 margaritas and one beer: $80 plus tip. Blown away. Not going back.

We are pretty lucky here in SoCal next to our neighbor to the south thus have lots of decent places for tacos and such. And perhaps I don't get in trouble by saying this but when you see a place is mixed with everyone with lots of our southern neighbors customers you know the place is legit.We haven't order anything, food wise, here and didn't like it, tacos, burritos, bowl and yesterday some chips with carne asada and they were all great, portion is nice, price is good and tasty stuff is what you will get.Been drinking tequila for a while but lately switch over to mezcal and love it. The bartender gave me a warning about the smokiness but ordered a coconut margarita with half sweetened and it just good.The mezcal smokiness it's just right but can't say the same thing for whisky though, anyone out there have an explanation or just personal preference. Next time will try something a bit smokier and see if I like it.
