Los Barrios Mexican Restaurant

Put it this way, I remember when that little room that people sit in to dine now was the kitchen ? Family friends and still going strong! Worth the wait if you're coming with family! What to eat? Everything ? Thanks as always for another memorable experience!

I am so happy to edit my review. After being contacted by restaurant we decided to give it a second try. The food was exquisite and the dessert even better. I normally wouldn't have given them a second try but the level of care demonstrated by management got me to go back!!!

This one only gets three stars for several reasons. The puffy tacos are really good and it was the only thing that was good! Oh, and the ice tea. The portions are tiny, like less then a kids plate for rice and beans the salad on the plate was old and lettuce brown. You can see it in the pics kind of! Same lettuce in the tacos. You are charged .49 cents for cheese if you want it on the tacos. The enchilada sauce is more like a hot dog chili sauce and the enchiladas were the smallest I have ever seen in my life. The server I didn’t get her name but she is why they get the third star. They charge you for chips and salsa 1.99 for a tiny 16oz bowl of chips. I would definitely go here again but only for the puffy taco and tea!

Los Barrios is very popular with the locals in San Antonio. Visitors may not notice the building as they maintain a low-key appearance. Once inside, it's clear this is no small venture. There are three large dining areas, plus a large outdoor patio dining section. The entry foyer is ornate with Talavera style tiling and some gift-shop items. The dining areas are clean & neat, with a very open feeling due to the high ceilings and wall of windows to the patio dining area. The menu is large, with most Mexican dish you would expect. Prices are moderate, leaning to the high side but not excessive. My local friends rave about the place, and this was our second attempt to go, the first visit nixed due to the long wait time. The food was good. Our waitress disappeared after taking our order and never visited again until we had to hunt her down for the check, even though the place wasn't half full at this time. This is a good place to take out-of-towners who may not enjoy one of the cozy smaller mom & pop Mexican restaurants which are all around town.

The place is ok, needs maintenance. The food and drink are awful. I ordered a sampler, most of it tasted pre-made or frozen heated on microwave. Guacamole actually tasted funny, not fresh at all. We also ordered tacos, same with the beef meat, really bad taste. Margaritas were bad, in every aspect. Even the beer was not cold. I don't recommend it.

Service is wonderful and food delicious Found it amusing reading the many reviews complaining about the chips not being free ? they're 1.99 extra....1.99! If 1.99 is that much of a burden then maybe do yourself a favor and have dinner at home. We ordered a large guacamole and a large chile con queso so our chips were included but I'd have no problem paying for them. The salsa they give you is not too spicy but really flavorful. Our waiter was super attentive and made sure we were good from start to finish. Highly recommend ??

I came on a tuesday around 4pm. It wasn’t packed or super busy, i was seated quickly and the staff that interacted with me were kind , my food came out quickly and fresh and tasted absolutely amazing. honestly a good experience, i got a very comfortable homelike vibe being there. the manager approached me making friendly conversation, my server maría was fantastic i would definitely come back again.

Place is awesome always clean and beautiful. This was for my daughters 5th birthday and this place here, let me tell you is great. Has been for years. So much fun a whole party of complete strangers sang happy birthday and made it that much better. And it's an old dairy queen from back in the day .
