El Barrio Cantina & Tequila Bar

Joke of an establishment. Joke of an owner. Service is slow, food isn’t like how it used to be. My family and I sat for so long before a waitress even came up to take our order. Waitress did not seem nice. Staff is EXTREMELY unprofessional. Place has gone downhill, won’t be much longer until it’s gone. I would never recommend eating here. I wouldn’t even recommend it to someone I hate.

***updated at the end. << Great beer selection, fantastic food, and very unique margaritas. >> *** here's the update. That review above was 9 years ago. I don't know what is going on, but the food has really gone downhill. Dried chicken fajitas that the plate isn't sizzling, bland sides, drinks that taste like water. It pains me to leave this review, but they HAVE to fix this. This place was great. The atmosphere remains the good thing now. The prices are decent, but sadly, not worth another visit for me unless I hear they have made improvements.

Generally a great place. But noticed in this last visit the margarita was a bit off and empanadas were over fried. Otherwise a good getaway for Mexican.

The food was tasty. Our server was polite and informed about the menu. Service was excellent. We would definitely go back.

I have gone to El Barrio several times but it seems the last few timea have been truely disappointing. Made a reservation ahead of time for Cinco de Mayo but we werent seated until 35 minutes past that time. Drinks were all sour mix margaritas and in plastic cups. We could even drink them Food had no taste and was bland.Nothing came tonthe table together. We have 4 people who all waited fir eachbof our meals separately. Worse of all was the appetizer chips which were NOT homemade as they usually seem to be. These were stale tostitos brand. Im not sure Ill be going back anytime soon. The waitress did her best and was very good. I still left her a decent tip because she had no control over the poor meal.

It was Cinco de Mayo and they had too many customers for the staff. Wrong orders were given and one person in our party waited ten minutes for their food after the rest was delivered. Don't think illl be back

Truly enjoyed my experience at El Barrio. We sat outdoors on a perfect spring eveneng which made the experience even better! Staff was super-friendly and accommodating. Maybe not the most authentic Mexican I've ever had... but still quite good!

It was Tex Mex food. The place was full so we ended up in a room where you can't see or hear the live music . Food was ok .

Surprisingly very good and great service. When they first opened years ago it was good then went down hill but past few times the food has been really good. Hopefully they keep up whatever they are doing different because it's a really cool spot and kids eat free on Mondays so that's a plus.

The restaurant was very nice and the food was really good, but the service was very slow and not attentive.

The food is always fantastic. Our party of 4 all enjoyed something different. Everything was HOT and FRESH!

Had not been in a few years.

Entering the restaurant, being greeted by Coco is great. Then to the table. The dinner never disappoints. We have awesome empanadas for an appetizer and the chimichangas were great. Both served hot and nicely presented. The margaritas of the month were tasty and refreshing. The salsa and chips served when seated were good too
