“Servicio muy amable y tanto como su Menudo , carnitas y birria estan para chuparse los dedos.”
“This looks like a mom and pop grocery store, but the food here is absolutely incredible & authentic. My burrito was packed with flavor, hot, and juicy. The horchata was on point too. So so yummy!! I would have given 5 stars, but I was quite confused on how to order at first, and the ladies up front were no help at all and looked bothered by my confusion. The guys at the butcher counter ended up helping me out, and they were so so kind to me! No dine in!!”

“I had La Barca for lunch (I work nearby) and really loved their tacos and guacamole. The food is authentic, flavorful and reasonably priced.”
