    Some of the bartenders weren't incredibly attentive. Although the drinks were good and food was fine considering the price. My friend insists 5 stars for Chris “bc he's cute”

    The food was not good, the service was okay but overall the food was laughably awful. Not authentic Mexican restaurant. The tacos had about have the portion of meat and the tortillas were cold. Portions are small and our bill was about 200$. If you want Mexican don’t go here. If you want to get robbed, then go here.

    The food and service were both great! The street corn is really good. Our group had a wide variety of foods and everyone loved everything.

    Overall, our experience was very good. The food was incredible. There is no parking right near the restaurant so keep that in mind as there is some walking required. Also, our server was okay, but not very attentive. We had to specifically ask for things like napkins, refills, and to order dessert which was surprising since restaurants usually try to upsell. We liked that they didn’t come around too often, but basic attentiveness would’ve been great. Also, the person who brought most of our food to the table would come around and take plates right from under us even if we still had food on them. It would’ve been nice to be asked before taking things away.

    Everything was awesome. Tried the steak,mushroom and shrimp (on a flour tortilla instead of the lettuce wrap) tacos. Service was great and drinks were very good. If you get a chance stop by this location and experience everything they have to offer!

    Casa Del Barco is good, but a little overpriced. You are paying for the location. Our service was excellent and the food was good, but it is more expensive than most Mexican restaurants in the area.
