Beware!! Dont waste your time or money! Won a gift certificate on radio so we went to try. Food was so overpriced. Meat was not fresh (previously frozen). Buns, cheese, sides were very bland and plain so assuming they are food service products. Not impressed. They offered chips and guacamole for a starter so we got that assuming it was about $6. Get the bill and it was $12 for one little basket of chips and some guacamole! As much as the order of burger and the order of tacos each were. I am not at picky, but his place needs to figure things out. Server was awkward and only stopped a few times to try to get us to buy another side or appetizer, special drink, or pecan pie while our water glasses sat empty. Not impressed. Will not be going back and will discourage you and others from wasting your money.

way over priced for the quality of the food. we got beef nachos and it was spicier then expected. they dont need to add jalepenos to it. but those were good. the enchiladas were not as expected, usually enchiladas should be saucier and the chicken was a little dry, the salmom was kind of mushier then expected and had an odd flavor, it was doused in pesto (the amount that was put on is not needed) the rice was also flavorless and over cooked. the atmosphere is nice and the wait staff was good. the waitress heard our concerns and was very pleasant.

Had gone in the past and was very impressed. Brought my mom and dad there last night and experienced the worst service ever. Menus literally thrown on the table by hostess. Took server 10 minutes for first stop and then another 10 to get drinks. Its like they were mad we came, and it was only 8:00 pm. Ended up closing tab and going elsewhere. Hopefully management/owners address this because Id hate to see another restaurant fail in that location.

OMG Amazing!!! Incredible food, fresh with gluten-free options. I highly recommend the Cherry wood Smoked Pork Belly Tacos with avocado salsa and jalapeno avioli. Try this place now! As a Texas/California native, southwestern cuisine does not come better than this!!! Excellent ambience, comfortable seating and nice drink specials at Happy Hour! Quick courteous service too!

This place has awesome tacos. The Barbacoa taco is my favorite, but you can never go wrong with the taco trio. The staff is friendly and can give you suggestions on what to order if you are new to their dining experience. Another big plus is the Coke products, no stinking Pepsi. Give this place a try only if you are prepared to taste the best tacos in town. Mic drop...

One of the more authentic southwestern and south American restaurants around. Ive been here several times and although Ive never had a bad meal here, I strongly urge you to try the Pulled Pork Quesadilla. It may not sound like much on the menu, but everything about it is phenomenal, from the faint taste of honey in the bread to the falling-apart-tender meat.

Staff is nice. Food is really disgusting. If you ever had barbacoa you would know what to expect. Way overpriced. One of the servers or even what it looked like the chec out on the floor digging for gold mo hawk guy with piercings. Wont even drive by there anymore. Nasty nasty nasty.

I love the place, service excellent, coffee superb and the food looks absolutely beautiful. Little or no seasoning or flavor. Id also be interested in finding out who actually likes johnny cakes, they are like a cornbread pancake only not anywhere as good as cornbread or pancakes.

This place is unbelievably amazing! The bartender Andrew was awesome, happy hour is half off all drinks starting at 9pm. And the food was also just as good as everything else. Seriously, I cant say enough good things about this place. Stop reading reviews and just go already!

I love this place... Chicken wings are amazing! Burgers are very good! The Monte Cristo is one of my favorites! Not sure why people are expecting texmex!? Barbacoa is a Caribbeanword generally used to describe slow cooked, smoked meat... Which is what they do there.

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was incredible. Since it was our 1st visit, our waiter (Patrick) was very helpful in what he recommended on the menu. Prices were right in line with the type of food that was offered. Would definitely eat there again.

The food here was on point. Fair pricing for everything, too. What I liked most was the wait staff. Our waitress was quick to refill glasses, had our food arrive all at once, and offered suggestions for those of us who couldnt decide between menu options.

The service is nice, with an upscale casual design inside. But what stands out is the food! Im blown away with how good everything is here. The Chipotle macncheese leaves a pleasant fire behind, and my carnitas were heavenly. Will be coming here often.

Expensive for frozen food. Ordered beef briskit sandwich. What I received and this was never mentioned was a frozen beef patty with a few shreds of brisket...which was pretty greasy... covering the top of the patty.

Whitney is an amazing server. She really knows her stuff and makes you feel super welcome and relaxed. This place has a beautiful atmosphere as well. I enjoy every visit. And of course the food is AMAZING

Erin Sparks

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. A little spendy, but definitely a nice treat. My only gripe is that most seating is high-tops, but thats a personal preference. Will absolutely return!

Curtis James Sullivan

Great meals... But its always so empty. I would be (sadly) surprised if its still open at Christmas of 2017. I hope it is, of course. We have been quite a few times and we always leave happy.

I enjoy this place a lot. Every time Im here I love the taco options I choose! I also highly, highly recommend the chips and guacamole. Get the large -- its huge -- like a pound of guac!

Over priced for the quality. Bartender was average at best. The help were definitely under paid and over worked. $100 for six tacos, three drinks, and an appetizer. You figure it out.

The food tasted amazing and was very unique. Avocado on a burger and they even have fruit as a side for childrens burgers. A very fun atmosphere, you wont be disappointed.

Tim Bauer

Quiet setting, attentive wait staff, and couterous service. Portions were large. Price was fair. Food quality was fine. Nothing special that would launch it into 5 stars.

Kaarina Freitag

Great food! Serves allergy friendly food, drinks deserts everything. Dedicated fryer for gluten free. A little pricey but worth every penny. Topped off with great staff!

Maggie Standifer

First time visiting. Nice atmosphere, eclectic. Nice variety on menu. Staff friendly and attentive. FYI: when the menu says spicy, they mean it. Will visit again.

Dan Morris

Dont let the name confuse you.. its not tex mex ar all. Very little has to do with mexican food.. its more of a fancy american restaurant with a hispanic name.

Chris Kastrinos

The fusion as they call it is lack luster and really doesnt match well. Trying too hard to do something different isnt always a good thing. Unimpressed.

Laura M

Great staff, great food. Theyve been out of a couple things when Im there such as coffee but otherwise, great place to go for brunch, lunch, or dinner!

Britta Anderson

Exceptional dining experience, substantial and supremely delicious menu items and friendly staff! Nothing in town compares to Barbacoa, its the best!
