It came with four tortillas, and then the usual lime and diced cilantro and onions, which always taste perfect in birria. I enjoyed the birria, but have had better. As mentioned before, the horchata is a slightly darker sort of horchata, meaning that it has a good amount of all those flavorful spices (and when I say "spices," this means things like cinnamon, or possibly cloves or nutmeg, and doesn't mean that the drink is "hot"). I like their horchata quite a bit. As usual, the service was friendly and attentive. This was our third time here, and we're always made to feel welcome here.

I love that they restaurant has a cozy side and a full bar side. I decided one year to celebrate my birthday here instead of celebrating my birthday where I live in West Hollywood. It was a nice change of pace and the restaurant was so accomodating with food and drink and at a price that was so incredibly fair. If you need a space for a celebration or catering for a home party, give them a call. Good food from one of those off the highway American diners on Route 66.

The last time I'd been out to Barstow and stopped at Oggi's, was about 9 years ago. My family went…read morethere and the food was actually relatively good. This time was quite different. My wife liked the tortilla soup, but the spaghetti and meatballs wear subpar. Now I guess, I shouldn't expect good Italian food from basically a sports bar but I'll have to say it just was relatively bland. I ordered the habanero pineapple boneless wings thinking they would be spicy-- they were not. Now I will admit, I've gotten used to hot sauce so maybe that's why they weren't that spicy. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be soft, but the boneless wings were not crispy, maybe the sauce made the better soft. But, I did not like it, I was expecting more crispy. But again, maybe is this is the way that they're served. The ambience is okay it's a sports bar. Kind of small as well but very busy. The service was great. I was greeted within less than 2 minutes from sitting down, and I had multiple servers taking care of my table. So definitely they're not lacking in service. I just think since the last time I went there and this time the quality of food has diminished.

Our waitress was lovely and very sweet. And the inside of this eatery was home-y, cozy, and quaint.
