Tacos la Barca is just off the freeway in a little strip mall. When we drove up about 6:30 PM, the parking lot was mostly empty, but many neon signs in the window announced warmly that they were open. For a moment we hesitated because of the lack of cars, but trusting the reviews we walked in, and we were not disappointed. The tacos were absolutely bomb! Little tortillas slightly fried were so good. We tried both the Carnitas and the Carne Asada. Both were excellent, but the Carne Asada was over the top good. All the toppings, including the salsa were beyond. Looking forward to the next time, we are driving through on the 5! read more

Visited October 3rd. See my receipt as always. First of all the name is also known as "Velazquez Tacos La Barca" not Tacos La Barca in Williams! I came in for an early lunch before I hit the road. I love mexican food and ordered the tacos with carne asada. Although they were street tacos they had plenty of meat and I always enjoy the peppers and onions and radish on the side. No fatty pieces of meat! Very good and it was super wallet friendly!! The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh and the salsa had a hint of lime which was delicious! They have indoor and outside seating and have a good selection of beer and soft drinks as well. Leslie was very kind and polite! For me I had a great experience! read more

Great breakfast served quickly. The menu is surprisingly large for such a little place. Very nice people. Highly recommend!

Great Crispy Tacos but pricing is off. Order the tacos as singles and they are $3 each, order 2 tacos with rice and beans and the price is $18.99. Love the tacos but not the combo price. $13 more for rice and beans? Great food and service, just not good pricing... read more

Dry lower end burritos for the whole family. The spot had authentic flavors, but still was not very good. Prices were high for what you get.

The Super Garbage Burrito is really good! Large menu with alot of options. Definitely recommend. read more

Tacos La Barca In Williams - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Williams, California

Pretty average to boring flavor. Portion size is smaller. Prices are average. Order at the counter, and the food gets brought out to you on a plastic plate. No limes included with anything. Salsa is from a jar. Hot sauce looks like it's been sitting on the table for a long time. Kind of a weird interior that looks like a corner market. My carnitas had a bit of a bad smell to it; I think they just heated up something from the fridge in a pan. read more

Very friendly and great variety of foods! The restaurant is very colorful and very clean. I got a super garbage burrito and couldn't even wait to take a picture :) read more

I'll never understand how there's not a big line at this place during the lunch hour, it's phenomenal! I've been working my way through the menu and have yet to be even mildly let down. The unique item here is garbage that keeps me coming back which is a meat trio of pastor, carnitas, AND asada! Another great option is the pambaso, which is a special variation of the torta and it is jam packed full of flavor! read more

I was out in Williams for work, I happened on a his place while looking for an address. I was greeted with smiles and a warm and aroma. I ordered the burrito super. Absolutely delicious!!!!! read more

Do not come here for good Mexican food Small hole in the wall, expected it to be good but was far from. Payed $45 for one sad burrito and three TINY shrimp tacos and two sodas. Asked for no rice and extra meat (was charged for it) and the burrito was nothing but soupy cheap beans and sour cream.Tacos were TINY with maybe three shrimp cut up into small pieces and a handful of onions no cilantro and a smidge of salsa. Even the tortilla chips with the salsa were bad hard cold and stale. Everything was bland and flavorless and sad just like the restaurant atmosphere. When the server finally asked us how was it and we told them she just shrugged and said "sorry" Better off just going to Taco Bell for a quarter of the price. read more

Extremely overpriced! Husband went inside or I wouldn't have paid at all and went next door to Subway. $75 for three quesadillas and 8 tacos. Service was horrible. They put all 8 tacos in one container and put all the long strips of quesadillas on top of each other which made the tortilla fall apart. Just horrible! Don't go! Waste of money and just gross. read more

Overall prices are way to high for the amount of food you receive. The flavor was okay, but the "super burrito" size was less than chipotle.

I have not visited Tacos La Barca in quite a while and boy, was I disappointed. I came for their chicken taco salad. The tortilla that makes the shell was greasy and has shrunk from 12" to 8", the salad itself is HALF what it was, the meat was not hot, nor were the beans or rice, no cheese to speak of, and the price that was $12 (and I thought that was high) is now $19.99!! In addition, their fountain was out of order and a can of soda was $3!! We did get chips and salsa but the chips were crumbs from the bottom of the bag. The salsa was OK. Their prices have apparently gone up so often that they are blacked out on the menus and only posted on the big menu on the wall. There were no other patrons when we arrived just before noon, but service was still slow and three tables inside and two outside needed to be bussed. The staff person propped open the front door and in came the flies! Last time I was here, a patron and an employee were visiting with a dog - ON THE FOOD SERVICE COUNTER. I should have known not to come back. Never again!! read more

Incredible food! One of the best chili rellenos ever! Great variety and great service. Will always stop here when in the area read more

Chili verde had no meat and the meat that was in it was all fat.. the service was ok but wouldnt go back.

Ok so the wife and supposed to go to a wedding. But our daughter had other plans with the grandkid on the way. She was in the process of going into labor so we stopped and Williams to stay the night. We were looking for a place to eat that was close to our hotel. And this place was a lily a walk across the street. The lady helping us was super friendly and the food was so good. It's a nice place to eat if your around the area. Cheers read more

You just want to be ignored come here..We drive to Williams a lot looking at properties we decided to give them a try..Well we walked in the spot was empty that should of been a sign , when.we walked in no one was there no staff no cook no body greeted us at all...ok so we rang the bell they have numerous times and no one came out after a good 5 minutes just standing there with nobody insight we just walked out ..Horrible way of doing business! read more

I ordered 3 pork tamales. I thought these were the most flavorless tamales I've ever had. They were less than half the size of the tamales you can get almost anywhere else. In addition to that, they were cold inside. Then, they came served on a styrofoam plate with flimsy plastic utensils. The person who came me, not only was served his meal on a regular plate, he was served before me. If there is a tip jar, as this place does, I always tip in cash. This time I tipped more than 20%. If there had been anyway to take my tip back, I would have done so. This joint has a big extensive menu and they just raised their prices! Their take-out menu still has the old prices! This restaurant, before the ownership changed, had really great food. It had a pleasant ambiance and friendly staff. I will probably never eat here again. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

I ordered a asada burrito. Came with NO extra condiments like radish, lemon or jalapeño toreado even upon request. The I opened the burrito and there was a grossly amount of oil dripping out of it. Disgusting!! I let the nice attendant, because she was more than less pretty nice. That she needed to have more pride in serving food like that. How can you tell me that all that oil belongs on a plate for your customer to have to eat. Besides having a smile and being nice; more important is the seasoning and quality of the food. As a traveling truck driver, I've had a better burrito for 10 bucks than this $18 burrito this place is serving. My comment is not to bash you but to let you kno what your customers are being presented to them. It would be very hard to try this place again. I wish I would have taken a pic of the mess but oh well. Try it at your own risk. read more

Sad to say Not coming back, don't recommend anyone with a big group to come here We got- 2 Menudos charged for 3 (13.00) 4 quesabirrias charged for 6 (4.00) 1 reg chicken burrito (10.50) 1 plain quesadilla (6.00) 1 chicken quesadilla charged for 2 (6.50) 3 al pastor and 2 chicken tacos 2 sides of rice 2 fries 7 beers 2 box juices 1 small chocolate milk 1 ltr Mex Coke 1 mex mineral water Look at my receipt I decided to call and let them know they over charged by at least $20+ dollars because they can't even tell me what they charged me for the receipt doesn't say what it is for and they charge 3.99% for using a card so I was charged $186.36 on my card. They didn't apologize or let me talk to owner. read more

Tacos La Barca In Williams - Chorizo breakfast burrito and menudo. - Mexican Near Me - Williams, California

Came here for lunch with my best friend. It was a small restaurant with handwritten menu signs, several tables and couple TVs. The decor was simple but modern. The ambience of the restaurant was casual with a hint of familiar openness. We ordered a little of everything to try out the menu and not was it good! Torta: ***** Nachos: **** Tacos: ***** Burrito: ***** Quesadilla: **** Decor: **** Service: ***** (pay first but cashier was nice as was the server) 32/35 or 91%... a must visit on the way to Redding or coming back from Redding since this restaurant is in Williams. read more

Bad service Disgusting food the meat is not cooked all the way the oil is old Worst food ever.

Love the food here. I've driven here from San Francisco just for their wet burrito. I try to stop by anytime I'm in the area.

My family and I arrived at 7:30 pm. They told me if we wanted food, we had to order it to go. I thought they closed at 9 pm. WTH! Great way to get repeat business...order food and go even when we still had 90 minutes to dine in...GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

What a waist of time and money stopping at this place, really food has no flavor at all and my order wasn't what I asked for but of course they charge your what then want and not what you asked for plus prices are high for what they serve. Very disappointed. read more

Inconsistent service experience for ok, quick food. Prices have significantly increased (based on menu posting on Google); see updated menu pics below. Food came out quickly and was edible, although prices are expensive for the portion size. There is an outdoor seating area and a clean restroom. Now comes the kicker - the very next day, our same group stopped to eat at the restaurant and experienced very rude service. First, the waitress told us they stopped serving breakfast burritos (but we had ordered one just yesterday later in the day). When we asked her to check, she wouldn't and said that was the final say. Since now we needed to find something else on the menu, one of our party wanted to use the restroom before ordering - nope, not allowed, she said. (But yesterday the lady didn't make a fuss about it.) We went half a mile across the freeway and found a delicious taqueria where prices were slightly lower and portion sizes were huge. Never going back to Tacos La Barca - two stars for the ok 1st experience and for prompting us to find our go-to taqueria. A few details for the management - the rude waitress was young (maybe mid-twenties) and working 6pm(ish). She seemed smug about ordering customers around. read more

Pulled off the freeway to grab some food seen this taqueria , they took forever to make the food , very over priced ( the most i have ever paid for a burrito ) 15.99???!! And to top it off it was so-post to have guac in it and it didn't . The taste wasn't that good either . Oh and there was a fly swarming around the jug of horchata . One and done for me . read more

Came here with my dad. Restaurant was empty, once we got our food I noticed it wasn't hot, like how food is supposed to be when freshly made. We took it to go and when I opened my box I noticed that the crispy tacos are frozen box made, they aren't homemade. They weren't even fully cooked. I ended up getting food poisoning from it. Absolutely terrible place, do not eat here. read more

Tried the carnitas street tacos which were delicious and totally hit the spot... Great selection of Jarritos!

Subpar food. Pollo is just pulled chicken cooked with salt and pepper no other seasoning. Cheese in quesadillas was almost non-existent. They serve such less quantity. The tacos are tiny as hell. For 2 people having a meal they gave only 3 pieces of flimsy napkins. Also when I asked for some hot salsa, the lady gave half of those 1oz plastic tumblers. Won't be going in again. read more

Stopped in here for lunch on our way back home from Redding, this place was recommended to me by my brother and was advised to try the tacos. So I ordered three street tacos and a steak burrito, and the tacos were by far my favorite thing. I could have had about ten tacos and been happy. The others ordered tacos, sort of, veggie burrito, and quesadilla, and some nachos. Definitely, the tacos are my favorite; if you stop in here get the street tacos, they are a bit small, so make sure to order three or more or a side with them. read more
