Destination Restaurant. When any of my relatives are back in town Los Barrios is on the short list of must go restaurants. That speaks for itself as does its selection as one of our go to locations for family occasions along with its sibling La Hacienda with the gorgeous patio. If you can take the heat do not pass up the chicken mole enchiladas, my personal favorite.…
Los Barrios. I went to the Barrios for the first time ever after hearing about it. I was expecting a mom and pop type place where the staff is friendly and the food is tasty. Well the puffy tacos and mole enchiladas were better then I expected however the service was not. Our waitress became confused with our order apparently because when she came with our food she brought out 3 plates of food for 2 people. When I told her that I didn't want the 3rd plate (for the reason that I we didn't 3 plates) she got really mad and told me that that is what I had ordered. In the end she took back the 3rd plate but the whole rest of the time she was rude and ignored us most of the time. When she brought the check she also failed to tell us she would be our cashier. So we got up and tried to go pay at the register but were then told that our waitress would be our cashier and so we sat back at our table and she ignored us for about 10 minutes, while she passed by several times. It was not a busy time for the restaurant so I could see she was intentionally ignoring us.…
No margaritas if you're not from Texas.
When my girlfriend and I went there a few days ago in the middle of May 2010 we tried to order margaritas. We're both 21, and granted we look like we could be younger, but we had our North Carolina
driver's licenses with us. The server was confused looking at the IDs and she took them away to show to about four other people. A man came over and said he couldn't accept the licenses because they were out-of-state. I pointed out all the dates and holograms on the license, and even offered credit cards and a student ID to verify that my name was correct. Nothing. As a bartender back home in North Carolina it was appalling to realize there were people stupid enough to turn down a valid driver's license. So if you're not from Texas you better bring a passport (but who knows, they probably wouldn't accept that either).
I ordered the chicken with poblano mole and my girlfriend got chicken enchiladas with the verde sauce. Both were alright, but they both lacked the authentic Mexican flavor we were expecting. Not that the food was bad, we were just very disappointed with the overall quality.
The server was fairly nice (even though she couldn't tell a real ID from a fake) and the food came out quickly. But that is about the only good thing to say about the place.…
