Unfussy joint with late-night hours crafting house-smoked meat tacos, coffee, beer & mezcal.

This place is fun for an after work drink, happy hour is $6 margs. The tacos are good but a bit dry. The 2 cheese burger and fry meal is a good deal. Fun atmosphere

Great tacos but they keep increasing prices to the point where it doesn’t make sense. Two street tacos $13 dollars $6 a piece. Photo attached. Would you pay $13.25 for these two tacos?

Victor, he did an excellent jon taking care of me and my boyfriend (also named victor) the food is delicious. As a Vietnamese, i recommend this place to my fellow asians. The tacos al pastor are bomb. The pineapple is a nice touch to their authenticity.

Great late-night spot with tasty tacos and a relaxed vibe. The food had a nice smoky flavor, drinks were good, and the atmosphere felt lively but comfortable. Staff were friendly and service was smooth.
It can get crowded at night and parking isn’t always easy, but overall it’s a really solid place to grab food and hang out.

I ordered a burrito delivered from here because I heard you can order them with French fries inside. Being from near San Diego, I was excited about the thought of ordering a California Burrito. What I recieved was one of the smallest burritos I have ever seen. If a happy meal came with a burrito, it’d be this size. It tasted pretty good,, but low on all fillings. For $15 plus the cost of hot sauces, the portion is just unacceptable. It was probably half or even a third of the size of a regular California burrito. I’m beyond disappointed. See picture for scale with 12oz soda can. I finished it in probably under 10 bites.

The food, atmosphere, and staff were all awesome. Visited for the first time with a few friends on a late Friday night, and we had no issues finding a place to sit. Friends told me to try a margarita and glad I did because it didn’t disappoint! The al pasta and carne asada tacos were delicious. I appreciate all the staff that helped me and wish I could remember names to shout y’all out!!

Cantina Barba Is a classic mezcal bar, I visited the bar at night after winding down from a fun night in the city. The food here is reasonably priced, and the ambience is pretty cozy, I personally haven’t had a chance to visit the bar in daylight but I’m willing to bet it’s prettier in the day time.
Ambiance: outdoor patio 10/10!! Spacious, and vibrant at night. Indoor seating 6/10 a bit cramped, indoor seating gives off dive bar vibes.
Cuisine: 10/10 classic bar food, the nachos were even better!!
Price Range: reasonably priced, the chicken quesadilla was priced at $8 with a drink.
Parking: 4/10 awkward real estate location, late night stiff parking.
Alcohol/smoking: Alcohol/Smoking friendly
Operating hours: 9AM-2AM SUN-THU, 9AM-3AM FRI & SAT, great spot to hit up late at night.

Enjoyed an amazing lunch on the outdoor patio at Cantina Barba on a weekday and had an amazing experience. You get the authenticity of authentic Mexican food truck dishes with the refined atmosphere of a great cocktail bar/restaurant.
I enjoyed the taco’s, chips and horchata! Everything was well seasoned, I received great service, the meal was prepared quickly and otherwise I had a great meal here. Definitely recommend for great tacos, drinks and good vibes.

Ordered through door dash and the order was cancelled 30 minutes AFTER it was supposed to be delivered. No phone number to call Cantina Barba? A restaurant without a way to ask for help is ridiculous. Unreliable, hiding from customer service, and I no longer recommend. Don’t take a chance on getting service like we did.
