We were walking around in Old Town and stopped at this place to enjoy their happy hour specials. Half price margaritas, beers and tacos. Can’t go wrong with that. We enjoyed ourselves, the drinks were good.

You had me at complimentary *seasoned* chips and salsa. We sat outside and really enjoyed the colorful atmosphere and stunning decorations. We ordered the nachos and the fajitas and both did not disappoint. Even though Old Town was packed (we were lucky to find a parking spot near the restaurant), we were seated immediately which was nice. Really enjoyed our time here and spent some time walking around Old Town after our meal to try and burn off some of those chips and salsa.

Bara Bara never disappoints! The food is absolutely delicious, and every time we visit the place is spotless and well taken care of. The atmosphere is fantastic and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.
The service is a solid 10 out of 10. Our server today, Pedro, was incredibly attentive, respectful, and engaging — he kept great conversation and made us feel right at home. I ordered a margarita and it was fantastic.
The food always comes out on time; we’ve never been left waiting around. Honestly, I’d come back just for the chips, salsa, and beans alone — they’re that good.
Highly recommend Bara Bara!
Pedro is a phenomenal bartender and truly a master of his craft. Great customer service is hard to find these days, but if you come here, you’ll definitely experience it with Pedro. He makes you feel like family — like you’re coming home for a drink and a great time.
GO BILLS!!!

It’s been years since I last visited this restaurant. We came to celebrate my birthday and this restaurant did not disappoint. I can say this restaurant has not lost its favor! Victoria was our server and she was wonderful. She the most upbeat and bubbly personality. She brought out our drinks and the margaritas were just as delicious as I remember. Service is fast here. I enjoy all of the Hispanic decor. You several areas of dining to choose from.

I’ve been to Barra Barra many times and their highlight has always been their overall food quality. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve eaten there. However, my absolute favorite thing they serve is their chips, salsa, and black bean dip. Especially the chips!
I had a combo fajita order with chicken and beef. The taste was amazing. The portion was perfect. My nephew got the mole which had amazing flavor as well. The price was reasonable for the service and quality of food we got.
The staff was very friendly. It wasn’t very busy at the time but for some reason never got our water refilled until we asked for it. Otherwise, no complaints.
I do highly recommend Barra Barra as the best place to eat if you’re in Old Town!

We saw this place as we were in Old Town area. What are two nieces.. they had the kids eat free with the purchase of an entry. The chips and salsa were great..Ice tea was good as well. Had the steak burrito and chicken tacos. It was very good. Service is good. Both flour and corn tortillas are made fresh. Service was good as well. This is in a tourist area, so it’s good still. But since the prices are bit high we won’t be back soon. Other than that it’s recommended.

Super good, and our server was so nice. Also, they allow dogs on the patio. And she gave us a little bowl of water for them. Additionally, they’ve got some very nice vegetarian options. And can substitute things around to make them vegan or whatever.

This place is a pretty good restaurant. I had a cheese enchilada and a pork tamale. The cheese enchilada was really good and the pork tamale was okay. Rice was good too. The atmosphere on the patio was really nice.
