I went to El Barill for my birthday I was supposed to have party of 10 but half of my party canceled on me and they still let me have so much space my server’s name was Melanie and she was very sweet and helpful the restaurant was clean all the hosts were friendly and spoke if they saw me I really enjoyed my time there it was fancy but relaxed at the same time I’ll be back again I love the music and everything

This place is always great. I've bee many times. Mount Adams has few options for food but this place is always solid and seems to always be open. They don't just have Mexican food you can get burgers and pizza as well. Their drinks are good and the service is amazing. They're extremely attentive and have lots of TVs for sports as well. The complimentary chips and salsa is excellent. One complaint is that it's often cold inside.

It’s a great spot that punches above its weight for Mexican restaurants this close to the city. The carnitas are surprisingly great, and feels like it would be from a little hole in the wall spot. The staff is always super friendly and attentive, and it’s the same staff year over year.
