Perfect margaritas! Very nice staff. Love having a marg on their patio in the summer. Gave 4 instead of 5 because it could use at least one real vegan option on the menu. Meal type: Other
Was amazing service and food that reminded me of what my grandparents would make at home.
Barra was truly outstanding. It's undoubtedly the best dining experience I've had in Boston and ranks among the finest Mexican cuisine I've had outside of Mexico. Their selection of cocktails, mezcal, and sotol is expertly curated, and the menu is both creative and well thought out. You simply must try the gringas tacos and the tetelas; while everything we ordered was excellent, those two dishes were particularly impressive. The staff was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, offering fantastic recommendations and creating a wonderful atmosphere that beautifully combined the chic indoor vibe with the outdoor patio dining experience. I can't wait to return time and again. Honestly, I hope they enjoyed having us, as we definitely intend to be regulars!
