Janurary 2025 We were dying for something to eat and this place fit the bill. Sat at the bar and greeted with the standard chips and salsa Everything was well cooked and the flavors were on point but I have to admit a tad expensive compared to other places. Nice and clean on the inside and the service was very friendly. Would come back and try it again March 2025 So we went back for lunch. I failed to submit my previous review. Oops haha Anyways tried the lengua tacos and the Al pastor sopas. This time we traveled to the hot sauce bar and wow those sauces are amazing. Still 18.99 for three tacos seems steep epically for lengua. The flan was home made for sure but could have lived without the whipped topping. read more

Our fourth time here at La Barra, The employees are always so nice and the restaurant is bright & clean. My husband & I were craving their Charro Beans. Best Charro Beans we have ever eaten. Besides the delicious charro beans I ordered the Taco Salad and it's so good. Michael had the White Pollo Al Carbon and it's hot chicken. The little sauces are so good. It's goes from a delightful verde to you needing a hospital. The only complaint I have is I did not have any room in my belly for dessert. read more

There are not a lot of "good" Mexican restaurants around here, at least from what I've found. When I read the reviews for this place I had to give it a try. I admit I'm kind of a Mexican food snob being from California and having visited various regions of Mexico quite a number of times over the years, so I would actually rate this establishment at 3.5 stars. I rounded up to 4 because of their salsa bar. The service is good. I love the cleanliness, decor, and general feel of the place. Now let's talk food. I mentioned salsa. The salsa they serve with the chips is a very flavourful, yet mild, red salsa. The family loved it. I like a little more kick! Well, when I visited the salsa bar I found it! Their habanero blend is awesome! The chips are nice and fresh, lightly salted, very good. As far as the meals go, I liked the beans a lot, the rice was pretty good, but the chile relleno and tamale were not the best. According to my daughter the el pastor street tacos were good. My son liked his cheese enchilada, and the chicken tacos el carbon are also reportedly good. I will return, especially because the salsas are so delicious, but I will try something different next time for my main course. read more

Probably one of the best Mexican restaurants in Pensacola. Their assorted street tacos are delicious. This place is definitely my go to place if I want to take a break from my low carb life style. I also had their half a chicken, and the Carne Asada. This is my go to for low carb. I just don't order the rice. Try anything Al Pastor in the menu. It's a style of cooking that the Lebanese brought over to Mexico. It's prepared with a vertical spit roast like a Shawarma or Gyro. This is hidden gem on Navy Blvd. read more

The food was so delicious I'm convinced the chef has a direct line to my taste buds. Every bite was like a little fiesta in my mouth--no RSVP required. The atmosphere was authentically Mexican, so much so that I half-expected my grandma (who's not even Mexican) to come out of the kitchen yelling "¡Ándale!" And the music? Let's just say it was so lively I had to remind myself I came to eat, not join Dancing with the tacos. read more

YUM.........YUM.........YUM!!!!!!! I kept hearing about La Barra Del Taco and I was getting more and more curious. Finally someone came into the office and told me that it was super delicious so we set out on Saturday to check it out. To be quite honest it is not in the ritziest area of town, it is on Navy Blvd pretty much directly across from House of Chong. There have been some renovations and the place is looking better. It was a bit rougher around the edges back in the day than it is now. We walked in and were greeted right away by the same lady that ended up being our server. She was very interested in us, and made sure we had everything we needed. As she left for our drinks, she made sure we knew about their salsa bar. That's right! A salsa bar, its not huge like Tijuana Flats, but it has several options two of the salsas (one green and one red) will blow your mind! They both are probably the very best salsas I have ever put in my mouth. They are almost savery and full of umami. A word of warning...........BOTH are very spicy! I could not stop putting them all over my food. I was drinking them from the to-go containers at one point, just to be able to taste them by themselves. Damn if I could only replicate them. How was the food? It was delicious! H.S. had the shrimp ceviche and I had veggie fajitas. Her's was fresh tasting, fantastically done with no fishiness and great texture from the lime doing its thing. It is served with three perfectly crunchy tostadas, but the chips are excellent and worked as well. I love vegetarian fajitas and they were good, for sure. My only comment would be that I like my veggies to have considerable char on them, it adds flavor. These were cooked down well, just not charred. No problem I will ask for that next time, or better yet, next time I will not ask a Mexican restaurant that leans to more traditional fare to make me something that was invented in America. Amateur move on my part. H.S. was smart and she out ordered me again. One thing I want to say for sure here is that we were some of the very few caucasians in this restaurant mid day on a Saturday and there was a soccer match on. La Barra is clearly a gathering place for Latin American locals to watch football. It was super cool being apart of the fun. It got pretty exciting in there! Hell, H S. said she might like to start watching, and I can't think of a better place. Good food, and a great time! What else can you ask for? I nearly forgot to mention the Tamales! Fantastic tamale sauce and melted cheese on top plus a very good masa to protein ratio! Very similar to the Mississippi River Delta Tamales I grew up on! Amazing and flavorful! Too many places serve theirs with way too much bland masa with no sauce to help the flavor and to keep the masa moist. These are done right. If you think tamales are bland and dry, you haven't eaten here. read more

We were greeted by a smiling employee when we walked in and the service was friendly and efficient the whole time we were here.

Great food and customer service. Ambiance is great, family friendly. The are TV's for watching games.

Last night in Pensacola and we were all craving Mexican. I live in Denver, home to some of the best Mexican food in the country. So my standards are very high. My sister Pea, and her husband, Big Mike highly recommended this restaurant. Located on Navy Blvd, it's located what appears to be a home that was renovated to be a restaurant. Restaurant is small, but clean. Cute decor and a bar. They offer free chips and salsa. The chips were obviously freshly made with a dusting of spices. The salsa was fresh and flavorful and not too spicy, which suits me as I can't take a lot of heat, but for those who want more heat they may offer a hotter choice. We also had Queso and it too was gooey and rich. We had Steak Fajitas, Carne Asada street tacos, Supreme enchiladas and beef enchiladas, charro beans and rice. The Margaritas were delicious, although not very strong. Service was prompt and friendly. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. Very different Mexican cuisine from what I'm used to in Colorado, but yummy nonetheless. Highly recommend. read more

Do not sleep on this place! I hope you can smell and taste this picture of deliciousness of birria tacos w rice and the most authentic charros beans I have ever tasted(sorry mom) this was way better then I've tasted all my 40 years of life. I felt like I was in Mexican food heaven for a moment. That's how good this place is. The service was excellent and the vibes are awesome. Manager was kind enough to see how we were doing. if I lived here this would be a daily problem. The even have breakfast. that's a win. I must try for next time. Food definitely tasted like it was made with love and then some. if only I had room for dessert I'm sure those taste good as well. read more

The smell of the restaurant was like a dirty bar. And I would question the cleanliness. Food is okay.

The place is super hot inside! Food was so bland. I asked for a margarita on the rocks and got frozen, I didn't want to complain so I just took it. I asked for a water 3 times before I got it and no , it was not busy inside. They were very nice overall but I won't be back. read more

Neon bar lights across clean white tabletops give a bright chic energy, combined with sugar skull murals announcing the love put into their 2023 remodel. This hwy 98 hole in the wall (from the outside) impressed with their service and myriad of options. The initial chips and salsa were a strong start, and our server was the epitome of warm and hospitable. I ordered a Splash Berry mojito- very sweet. Weak. I'll get a double next time. Had to try the classic queso blanco, which was a 5/5 staple. The rest of the impressive menu ranges from whole Mojarra (silver Central American fish) to Pastelitos (breakfast chicken pot pies) -something for everyone! Including vegetarian options. Good portion sizes, however not the cheapest night out. The real star is the abundance of birria options from nachos to quesadillas to flautas. The beans and rice that come with the birria tacos were excellent too. I felt the birria sauce was a bit bland, but everyone in my party raved about it. Street tacos and Al Pastor tacos were both exquisitely simple. Good, not great. Should've asked for limes to squeeze on top. The unexpected a la carte choice I added on a whim- Al Pastor Sope with a sprinkling of feta, carefully adorned with avocado, and a gracious heap of sour cream- took my breath away. Overall a lovely experience and I'll be back for round 2 for some dessert options, if I don't fill up on the delicious salsa again. read more

I actually walked in here thinking, uh I hate this place. I was looking for a hole-in-the-wall type of place. And, this is no hole in the wall. Quite a bit of effort has been put into this restaurant. It is by no means small. That being said, I ultimately thought I was walking into a Pedro's, or Vallarta's type of Americanized Mexican restaurant. They have a big menu, big furniture, oh boy. And, oh boy is not good. However, I must admit I was oh boy wrong. They have a polite, nice staff, and excellent traditional fare. The chips and salsa were served with a black bean dip too. It was addicting. I ordered the sopas and I got three nice size Mexican Al pastor sopas. I'm drooling thinking about them. The menu albeit big, is interesting. The staff, are professional, and the food Bien, Bien, Bien. I'm very happy I wondered into this quirky big restaurant. read more

The chicken is very tough in both the burritos and the tortilla soup. The flavors are excellent but with the protein being as consistently tough as it is, I won't be back. read more

Food and service are both great. My BIL did not care for his burrito. They do get busy and parking is minimal.

Today is my first time to go to this restaurant. But it's really surprising me at first. Restaurant is very clean, nice decoration. Service is welcome and waiter is very nice, he smile all the time and even waitress. I called frying fish, as good as pictures you can see on their review. I was so hungry and eat them. Then I recognize I forget to take pictures. Fish is so good, tasty and so fresh! Like they just catch from ocean. I definitely come back again and again. I would like to thank you so much! For your great food and amazing service. I think your owner is a good person too. So he knows how to run his restaurant. read more

I'll give them another try. Service was mediocre at best. Food was good but seems that their prices are higher than average.

if u want to make a to go order, place it thru door dash NOT GRUBHUB! Other than that, love this place

My friend recommended this place when the restaurant we had originally chosen closed early on a Sunday evening. What a delight! It's a bustling little Mexican restaurant and bar that also serves Honduran food. We both ordered the enchiladas mole, while my wife ordered chicken nachos and we all split a tableside guacamole. The guacamole was good, though just a little heavy on the onions, still, there was none left at the end. The enchiladas were great, but the star of the night was the deep and rich mole sauce! This was the best mole I have eaten in the US - dark and complex, bitter and not too sweet. Even the rice was remarkably flavorful. The prices are reasonable considering the serving sizes - a very good value for the quality of cookery, and the portions are ample. My wife got the nachos and took half the meal home with her. It was fantastic, and I can't wait to eat here again! I would happily try anything on their menu! read more
