The baby gobbled up the fried plantains (when I wasn't snitching from his order--yummy). The three year old hardly made a peep, she was so busy scooping it all in. The shrimp taco from the appetizer area of the menu had fresh avocado and radish and is making me salivate just remembering it, and my husband's big burrito was, as always, super tasty. After all this, we were still out of there in less that 25 bucks including tip. There are no other eats in Hastings that make me feel this happy. The new location looks great and the wait staff's uniforms are clean and professional. Huge improvement in atmosphere.

In my 10 days in town, I tried a few (but probably not all) of the Mexican restaurants, and this place was by far the best. Don't get me wrong, nothing comes close to real mexican bought from a street cart in Mexico, but for Nebraska, this place was top notch. Hastings is lucky to have it and I look forward to my next visit.

Warm and friendly.They have a decent drink selection and that made me happy right away. I ordered a draft beer, an IPA that was local to Nebraska. The menu has something for everyone, I started with the deviled eggs and they were amazing, just like Ma used to make except better they had little pieces of crispy bacon on them. Brilliant. I chose the Ribeye, Rare. I also went with a loaded baked potato. My meal arrived pretty quick and I was glad to see a piece of garlic toast. The steak was perfectly prepared, the potato was indeed loaded. I would recommend the ribeye to everyone. Our server could not have been better, she knew the menu well. Like I mentioned, the drink selection was nice. Settled for the Blanton's and an Eagle Rare to top of the night. Then the server brought up desert, oh Brother. Just what I needed. LOL, I chose the Raspberry Lemon Drop Cake. WOW WOW WOW it was delicious. I look forward to visiting the Barrel Bar again.

Maybe their modus operandi is serve 10 cars in the drive thru then serve 5 in house customers. For whatever the reason, the inside service was abysmal. Car after car was served while the line inside stalled. Bookguy decided to go back to the drive-thru since it appeared now to be moving faster. Not really-- stalled while they helped inside. It was as slow as watching a 2 year-old eat peas. The driver of car behind us got out and asked the car behind her to back up so she could leave. Both cars left. Finally got to the order mic and waited a bit of time before getting our order. The sweet woman at the window presented us with an extra little bowl of chicken for our dogs, such a nice thing to do! Luckily, the usual fare of cantina chicken bowl and soft tacos with hot sauce was just as expected.

My Food: Enchiladas, Beans and The Rice missed the mark completely. My Sons Food: Carnitas was tough and unflavorful. The beans were overly lard heavy and the rice was crunchy. Service: Satasfactory "C" Ambiance: Clean but nothing special. There were 4 servers just standing around a table chatting. Granted the place wasn't very busy but at 5pm I would think there would be something to do other than watch us and the table next to us eat.
