Barra delivers an exceptional Mexican dining experience, blending authentic flavors with creative dishes like shrimp tacos, cactus salad, and roast pork with homemade tortillas. The carefully curated cocktails, featuring mezcal, sotol, and standout margaritas like prickly pear, perfectly complement the menu. The stylish interior and cozy patio enhance the inviting atmosphere, while attentive, knowledgeable staff elevate the visit. Though portion sizes are modest and prices on the higher side, the quality and originality justify the experience. Barra stands out in Boston’s culinary scene as a vibrant homage to Mexico City’s lively food and bar culture.

Tiny portions of very subpar food for ridiculous prices. Shrimp tacos came in an order of 2 and each had ONE piece of shrimp with the tail still on in a tiny tortilla smeared with mashed potatoes, and no side, for $16. Everything was very under salted. Drinks were tasty but also very small and expensive. Chips (which tasted completely unsalted) and Guac was big enough to maybe be considered a side to an entree, not its own appetizer, and was $11!! We left very hungry and broke (dinner for 4, sharing chips and slasa&guac, cactus salad, each got 1 entree and 1 drink, shared 1 dessert) was $240. With so many great, authentic, Mexican spots around somerville/cambridge its hard to say I would recommend this place or justify the outrageous prices.
