    A nice Latin American family eating American invented fajitas. The irony was not lost on me.
    Blake S.

    Wow! That was a loud mariachi band! We entered the restaurant through the only door and immediately we were in the bar face to face with the band. Thank heavens they were seating in the dining room not the bar! It was more tolerable there. Look, I love good music during a meal but when you cannot hear your dining companions, it is too loud. Yes I am old. They have done quite a lot to the restaurant since we first went and I love the changes. It looks more like a real Mexican restaurant now. There are a tremendous number of changes to the menu too. Basically everything has been "TexMex'ified". This is unfortunate. It was a very traditional Mexican restaurant when it opened. We went early on and I don't actually remember any menus at all. There were just photographs of food items on the walls. There also was no chips, no queso, no fajitas etc. Now all those things exist on the menu. They do still have traditional Mexicans street tacos but a lot of the other traditional Mexican dishes seemingly are gone. I'm not hating on the restaurant. They're still doing a good job! They just Americanized it. I get it. This is Pensacola. I ordered four Mexican street tacos and Helen ordered a shrimp street taco and their ceviche tostada. Both were delicious. I actually think the shrimp street tacos were the best of the four I ate. The ceviche is super fresh and delicious. The tostada is handmade in the restaurant then deep fried. It was nice that it didn't fall apart as we ate it. I ordered one asada, one al pastor, one shrimp, and one carnitas taco. All were great, but the shrimp and the al pastor were my favorites. The carnitas meat was very flavorful and full of fatty goodness! If you don't like fat these are not your tacos. These are the real traditional street tacos. The only toppings are onion and cilantro that's it. There were radishes on the side that were sliced pretty thick, so much so I didn't put them in the tacos. I just took bites of them as I ate. The tortillas are made in house and are sturdy enough that you do not need two, which is nice. Gone are the three salsas you see in pictures. You do have their regular salsa on the table and you can ask for salsa verde if you want the acid kick. I would have liked salsas like Tacos El Amigo has, but this is Taqueria Olgy's. Olgy's is still a solid restaurant, it's just evolving. I liked the traditional fare but I like the new stuff too. Is it better than El Asador or Tacos El Amigo? Nah, but it is good. Was too hungry and chowed down before pictures. Sorry.

    Order through grub hub, showed up right when it was suppose to be ready but ended up waiting another 15+ minutes until it was ready. They had to ask me twice what it was that I ordered, even though they have my name in their system. The tacos were decent. Had better and I had worst. Might give it another chance with the dine in, since that was an option.

    My only complaint is that my tacos came out with cheese and lettuce (I'm white) and my hispanic husband's tacos came out with cilantro and onion. We're used to getting our tacos with cilantro and onion so I'm not sure why we weren't offered the same toppings. With that said, I was not super impressed with my tacos, but coming from New Mexico, the green chile chicken enchiladas really hit the spot. I'd definitely be back for those.

    There is no service anymore and the restaurant keeps getting dirtier. If you want their food, hit up the food tryck on Pine Forest.

    Moldy flan

    Ordered food and the tacos were cold and the tortillas were stiff. I had to reheat in microwave. Also Ordered flan and it was moldy, I refused to eat it. Tacos were edible after reheating. They Claim to make the flan daily but if that were the case it wouldn't be moldy

    Carne Asada tacos with homemade tortillas
    Jen A.

    We've been living in the area for over a year and a half and swore off any type of Mexican food. We finally tried Olgy's and were blown away by the $2 carne asada tacos, homemade tortillas, delicious red and verde hot sauces and the grande burrito with carne asada. We will definitely be coming back! The prices are awesome too. Spread the word

    La lengua tacos, very good
    Andy D.

    No doubt about it this is the real deal. This place is not like your Americanized Mexican restaurants, where you order combo meal number #4. That being said there are several challenges to overcome here. No English and my little Spanish only helped in ordering La Langua Tacos (cow tongue). They prefer to serve to serve to a more native or demographic crowd, you are now a foreigner, but sit back and enjoy. The tacos were excellent, the carne Asada (steak) was tough. The menudo soup was excellent. These are just a few items you won't find at a Taco Rico restaurant. The Chilies Relleno was the real deal, but surprisingly the tortilla chips and salsa were ok. I like this place, it's urban, rustic real Mexican food.

    Beef enchiladas with salsa verde, rice and beans.  I did not eat that stuff behind the real food. Lettuce? Bah!

    No doubt, it's good. Slow on the orders but tasty food. A hint pricey but not to bad...salsa is good probably better than most.

Whether I'm grabbing tacos, quesadillas, or trying something new on the menu, everything always comes out hot and tastes amazing. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the staff. They always greet me with a smile, the service is fast, and they genuinely make you feel like they appreciate your business. It's the kind of place where you feel like more than just another customer. Consistency is hard to find these days, but La Barra Del Taco gets it right every single time. If you're looking for great Mexican food with great service and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place. Easily one of my favorite spots in Pensacola, and I'll definitely keep coming back!

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.

Kaley, the bartender worked well with all our guests, including the kids and non-alcohol drinkers. They loved her mocktails! Definitely recommend this venue!

    Where do I even begin?…read more We had our wedding at Garden & Grain this weekend and it was absolutely flawless. I have to start with the most important parts of our day which were Cara & Jadyn, our event coordinators and Nick & Jesse, our bartenders. Cara and Jadyn were literal earth-movers and magic makers. These two helped us get everything decorated and torn down with absolute ease (and we had an awful lot of decor we brought in.) By the time we moved into the ceremony, Jadyn was everywhere ensuring we started when we were ready, the guests were ready for us to enter, and just made us feel so at ease. We heard from so many guests that they didn't even realize the chairs got moved from the garden into the grainhouse between because it was so fast and flawlessly executed. These folks were so stealthy bringing 75 chairs between different spaces. Bravo. Our caterer was just arriving as we were about the walk the aisle. We had no idea the chaos that was ensuing behind the scenes that Jadyn and the team worked out as quickly as possible and without our guests even recognizing there was a delay in the start time of the food service. Obviously catering is a huge part of the day, and it would have been so stressful had we realized they were 30+ minutes behind. The execution of our wedding could not have happened flat out without these two wonderful people. We are so grateful for you both, Cara and Jadyn. You deserve all the praise in the world and are absolutely amazing event coordinators. Oh, and Jadyn, thanks for never letting us have a drink less than half full - your impeccable attention to detail is what every event coordinator should strive for. Now, the other critical aspect to a wedding is bar service. Nick and Jesse had those drinks flowing non stop all night. There was never a guest waiting in line or without a drink from before the ceremony to last moments. Our guests were complimenting all night on how amazing the bar service was. We are a family with one side from New Orleans, we know how to party and going into it with 2 bartenders for 75 people who know how to have a good time was an anxiety for us, but there was not a single mishap in the bar service and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our guests or us. Not to mention, every time I looked at Nick or Jesse, they were both smiling and so happy to be there with us - it meant a lot to feel like your vendors were a part of your wedding. The space lent itself so naturally to our ceremony and reception. It was beautiful, cozy, clean, and just 100% our vibe. Our guests also complimented all night on what a cool venue we had. If you're thinking about booking an event, particularly a wedding here, don't hesitate. There's not a dang thing I would change about Garden & Grain, Perfect Plain and the people they had assisting us and our guests throughout the event. Being able to look back and see how smoothly things ran is every Bride's dream, and without a doubt you will have the same experience that we did here. Thank you G & G/Perfect Plain/Perennial Hospitality for the amazing experience on our wedding date. You have no idea what this meant to us. It means even more to feel that you guys actually enjoyed being there with us. Pat yourselves on the back and know that you are shining examples of what a wedding venue is supposed to operate like. Cheers to you guys, thank you once again for everything!
