BARRA SANTA — Restaurant in Coahuila

BARRA SANTA in Acuña offers a mixed bag, delivering on a pleasant atmosphere and decent bites, but ultimately falling short when it comes to their beverage program.

The food at BARRA SANTA is perfectly acceptable. You'll find a range of familiar dishes that are well-prepared and satisfying enough for a casual meal.

The portions are fair, and the flavors are generally agreeable, making it a reliable spot if you're looking for a straightforward meal without any grand culinary expectations.

One of the better steaks I've had anywhere and the best I have ever had in Mexico. I've always found steaks in Mexico to be tough and overcooked because they are too thin, but this steak was perfect. They also have a really good red salsa. I highly recommend this place over any other in Acuna. There is a real big dude (Dago) and he will make sure your steak gets selected properly and cooked properly. Be SURE to order via this dude. If not, you may be...
