This place is amazing. Highly recommend both the hard tacos and soft tacos are delicious. Very filling! They have music during the summer on Wednesday and Friday. Service with a smile and people who make you feel like family. read more

I've been going to Barragan's on and off for more than 20 years while living in Burbank, so I was looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. The beans and rice tasted old, and my chicken taquito lunch special was dry. My husband ordered the chile verde burrito and felt it was just average. Overall, the food lacked the freshness and flavor I remembered. I do have to give credit where it's due because the soup is still fantastic. It tastes homemade, and honestly, I'd come back just for a bowl of their soup only. My biggest disappointment was the $11 kids' meal. It consisted of chicken nuggets and fries piled onto a large plate with nothing else. No fruit, no vegetables, no effort to create a balanced meal for a child. Everything was deep-fried and brown. The food came out so hot from the fryer that my son couldn't even eat it, and we ended up taking it home. In the end, I threw it away because it just wasn't appetizing. It looked like frozen chicken nuggets and fries had been dropped into a fryer and placed on a plate with very little thought put into it. It's a shame because families make up a large part of their customer base, and a little more care with the children's meals would go a long way. Based on this visit, I'd give Barragan's 2 out of 5 stars. The soup remains excellent, but the overall food quality was not what I remembered. read more

Our group gets together at Barrigan's a couple of times a month, and it has become one of our favorite spots in Burbank. The combination of great food, affordable drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere keeps us coming back. Taco Monday is one of the best deals around--$2 tacos, including guacamole, and $8 margaritas make for an amazing Happy Hour. Everything we've ordered has been delicious, and the service is consistently friendly and attentive. One of our favorite things is sitting in the courtyard, enjoying the weather, watching soccer, and catching up with friends over good food and drinks. It's a comfortable, fun place to gather and unwind. If you're looking for a casual spot with great specials, tasty food, and excellent service, Barrigan's is well worth checking out. read more

Est. 1961- I'm spending some time, revisiting spots that I first experienced during the covid shutdowns. Most of these were places where in-door dining was not allowed. Barragan's is one such place. I enjoyed the food here, and the patio dining was as good as it was going to be in November of 2020. Now I'm back to sit inside, and to see if it is just as good as I remembered. To start, the salsa is still good and spicy. The Mexican Split Pea soup is still tasty, and the main dishes are still large and hearty. The food is solid. We had the #1 combination (Beef Taco & Cheese Enchilada) $24.95, and the #3 (Beef Taco, Cheese Enchilada & Tamale) $27.95. Everything was good. Not the best Mexican food I've had but still solid. A two plate lunch with a cup of soup and no alcohol was $64, with tax (before tip). They are definitely more expensive then I remember, more so than similar places. Nevertheless, The dining room is comfortable and there is a nice vibe inside. The bar is cozy and this looks like a good spot to watch a game. I don't know if they have a happy hour but regardless, Barragan's is still A-OK! read more

Had the honor of being invited to an event that was hosted here and was super excited to finally try this place. This family-owned restaurant has been around for many decades and I can see why. The ambience, the service and the food were all so great! We sat on the patio which was perfect for a warm evening, shared some appetizers that were all so delicious, and had a couple of margaritas that were made just right. Bonus tip: there's live music on Wednesday nights and a great happy hour menu, and was also told there's also a DJ (or other live music) on Thursdays or Fridays. But whichever day or night you choose to come you'll be sure to have a great time and authentic food. Happy eating! read more

Love the food and ambiance. This place is a great family Mexican food spot! It's like traditional Mexican restaurant w margaritas.

First of all, I'm a SUCKER for a great deal, and on Mondays, Barragan's offers $1.75 tacos. How could one resist? It's one of those places that's an easy, comfortable, family restaurant, with a lovely patio perfect for summer evenings. The service was swift and efficient, immediately bringing out warm chips and salsa. Margaritas there are delicious, not too sweet, and pair nicely with the thin salsa. While the tacos were a great deal, they seemed to lack flavor (save for the soft shell carnitas taco, which was cooked excellently). The potato and chicken tacos felt dry, and the beef taco didn't seem seasoned enough. Each item was tasty enough (especially for $1.75!) but wasn't entirely wowed. read more

Barragans has an extensive menu to please mostly everyone. A fast and effective crew to take care of everyone inside. Prices can be considered to be moderate to high. Most plates are around $19-$30. For starters chips and salsa are brought out. Caldos are hot and packed with flavor. The albondigas soup was very generous with the number of meatballs. It was served with beans and rice and tortillas. The chicken enchillada were also good. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of parking. read more

I wish I remembered the name of our waiter. He was fun, kind and entertaining. We sat outside and it was cold for a Monday mid afternoon. Music was playing and my little niece started dancing. The crew was cheering her on, it was the cutest. Thanks to everyone who made her day. Food wws great, taco Monday was good. We also ordered from bar/happy hour menu. Regular entrees seem to be pricey. Margaritas also great! read more

The food is usually very good here. However, when I took my two out-of-town sisters to Barragan's, it was very disappointing. Two us ordered off there Lunch Special Taquitos, whereas my other sister ordered a Tostada Salad. The taquitos were underwhelming, but my other sister really enjoyed her tostada salad. I usually order their chile rellenos, which are very tasty. Our server was very nice and accommodating. The ambiance inside is nice if they don't have a sports game playing., which is not often. I love their outside patio. I do love their red salsa! it has just the right heat to it. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Their Happy Hour Menu is worth checking out! read more

This place has been hiding and existing in plain site for decades. They're on a main road, but the location doesn't jump out at you, and I can't remember ever seeing any advertising, they made it through the pandemic, have plenty of competition in the area, yet they're still here serving good food and vibes year after year. The place has a good ambience, plenty of space, fair pricing across their offerings and the food is always fresh and tasty and the service always friendly and welcoming. read more

Updating my review to 5 STARS! Had the very most delicious meal at Barragans today. My order was cheese and onion enchilada w-country, red chile on top with 2 fried eggs. My BF had the Cocido. Absolutely wonderful, my new go to breakfast. Not to mention taco Monday's which we enjoy at least twice a month. The very best part of our experience here, is ALWAYS the warm, attentive, wonderful service. Love you guys ! read more

I met friends here recently to have dinner and listen to live music. Everyone was raving about how great the food was, so I was excited to try a new spot. Upon arrival, we were quickly seated out on the patio. There was ample room and, although there was a large crowd, the seating was comfortable. There were plenty of heaters to keep everyone warm. The band was fantastic, a nice nostalgic stroll back in time. The service was decent. The food, however, was likely the worst Mexican food I've ever had. There was very little flavor and everything tasted the same. The texture of the rice dish felt like it had either been way over cooked or prepared from frozen, as it had a strange, mealy texture. The beans were bland and the entire dish was drowning in cheese and sauce. The hot salsa was way too hot and the mild tasted like marinara sauce. At least the chips were hot and crisp. I would return to listen to the music, however, I'd only order drinks or apps. I definitely wouldn't order a meal. The quality was subpar and the prices were on the steep side for what it was. On the plus side, there is ample, well lit parking behind the establishment and the staff was friendly. read more

Barragan's is the BEST Mexican restaurant I have ever been to! I have enjoyed their food and service since 1984 (Glendale location), and have NEVER experienced anything negative about it. When I am sick, I order the Cocido Soup. OMG! The NEXT day I feel well and fortified. It is delicious in every way. I order their hot sauce, corn tortillas, rice, additional onions and cilantro, and pico de gallo. As an additional treat, I get some tortilla chips and salsa. Mmmmm! The ambiance and service is wonderful! I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. read more

I'm giving this place 3 stars. The food is delicious but the service is really bad here. I felt like they paid no attention to my table. I had to stop the waiter several times just to ask for water. All the other tables were attended very quick without asking while I had no one come to my table. Although I loved the food I was made to feel unwanted in a weird way. The restaurant itself is very nice inside and the deco is pretty neat. The patio outside is nice and specious. read more

We went on a Friday night around 7 pm. It wasn't too busy considering it was a Friday during a holiday weekend. The check in is right by the parking lot (a little different than it used to be when it was by the front door). We were given the option to sit inside or outside (which is also new since the pandemic). We chose inside and were seated right away. Service was great. Our server was prompt and helpful. Food was okay. Not great, not bad. It was standard Mexican fare. The steak picado was well flavored and cooked well. A little dry but nothing some beans and salsa wouldn't take care of. The vegetarian burrito was piping hot when it came out. I'm glad I got it with the green sauce as it would have been somewhat dry w/out it. The servings are enough so you'll have leftovers to bring. Definitely returning as we are confident in the service that we'll get and that we won't be too disappointed in the food. As a note, the parking is in the back if you are ever wondering where to park (the building pops up on you if you're not looking out for it). read more

Barragan's is old-school Mexican. It's been remodeled over the years but certain sections still have that old charm. I got Enchiladas Suizas and they were solid.

It was nice to bring back childhood memories when I use to visit the echo park location with my family. Barragans in Burbank was just as tasty and wonderful to visit. We sat outdoor by the fountain enjoyed margaritas and the tasty chips and salsa, we shared a small albondigas between my date and I and I had the ropa vieja (shredded beef with onions and bell peppers)which was very good . I would definitely visit again next time i am in the area and I would for sure probably visit where I am from . Margaritas were tasty and stiff I was definitely buzzing and having fun.

I'm disappointed in my last experience at Barragans. This place has never been awsome or special, just convenient and average. I've been going to Barragans (Glendale and Burbank) for 30 plus years. This last Visit sealed the deal for my last time. For starters, everything on the menu is way excessive on price. 2 item combo is $21. If you go to Taquilas down on Magnolia, you can get a 3 item combo for $21. We ordered the steak fajitas but they were too salty so we wound up returning them and ordered basic taquitos. And on top of everything else, the place was packed! I'm thinking Burbankians are getting charged too much for their Mexican food. Go up to Montrose where your average 2 item combo is still in the mid-teens. read more

Maybe Barragan's was having an off day or terribly short handed. We were seated immediately (party of 8 of a woman's organization) The busboy brought us chips and salsa where he dropped half of a salsa dish on one of the ladies pant legs.. She said 'oh,oh, and he replied that it is not hot only hot sauce and left. No apology, did not offer to bring her a napkin or water to wash it off. Got our order in a timely manner but two ladies orders were not placed. Everyone was nearly finished when they got their order after the waiter was told we were short 2 orders. One other lady and I ordered a blended Margetita which was so watered down, no tequila could be tasted. We told the waiter about it and he brought us another margarita and told us to share it. Ewwww I did not know this woman well enough to share a drink and that was far from being appropriate!! We had to ask for water refills. No waiter came to our table after we got our food to see if everything was OK or if we needed anything else. We had to grab a waiter when he was serving another table. Food was good with large portions, band was great but due to the terrible service I will never go back. read more

terrible restaurant, no respect for customers. Poor quality of food, don't order any chicken burritos, they are full of bones. When I asked about a manager, he was nowhere to be found. A female staff full of charms, blamed me for not complaining ahead of time. I was told by the server what was in the burrito, and was told they had beans, rice and chicken. When finally my order arrived, there were no rice nor beans, all I could find was the bones. This is safety hazard and this restaurant staff is very irresponsible. When I asked for more chips, they never provided. Save your live and your money and find a better place. You don't want to be in a restaurant where staff is irresponsible and there is poor management and they get away with that. How chicken bones could appear in the burritos, I don't know. Obviously, there is no inspection and no control. rose read more
