“ This is a great little secret of Los Barriles. Fantastic food, molcajete de mariscos is the best!!! ”
“ Friendly staff and authentic dishes at significantly lower prices than other restaurants in town. ”
“ Good food every time. Fun atmosphere. The owner Brenda is great. ”
“ We stopped in for lunch and were not disappointed . The menu had plenty of the traditional items and some I did not expect. I was able to get a real nice al pastor burrito. Not a tiny one but a Super burro which is a proper serving for 1. My kids were able to get hamburgers! They loved the Hawaiian burgers and fries. My wife and I also really enjoyed the 2 for 1 margaritas. They were some of the better margaritas we've had in Baja. The restaurant itself is very unassuming from the outside. However, inside was spacious and had nice seating and tables. I was more impressed with this place than all the ones we've tried in town by the main strip. Gracias El Panzon. The staff were all great! ”
“ I like this place. They always give huge portions with a quality product. The big burger picture is of a monster burger. You can’t pick this up and eat with your hands. I would order one just to say you had one. I will review. ”
“ The best food, people, and experience in Los Barriles! So good, my family came back two more times. The people who work here and run it are warm and friendly. The food is delicious and cooked with love. Can't recommend it enough. ”
“ Ok. Hands down the best meal of our 6 day stay! We ended up here because the night before we met some of the staff at a bar who suggested it. We are SOOOO glad we did not miss out on this experience. The Mocajete has to be the best in town. It beat Beans & Rice on that. It's something about the flavor that comes out of each bite! Also their Gobanadore....phew! If you are interested in flavorful authentic Mexican dishes at a very reasonable price, we highly recommend it! ”
“ We had a not so wonderful dinner here a few years ago, not horrible, but not impressed. Even though our friends have been telling us this place has improved, we've been reluctant to return. Circumstances had us stopping by for a late lunch, and our friends are right, this place is much better. Great food, great service and a wonderful Mexican atmosphere. We will be back. ”
