Barba Roja Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Phoenix

The service was not the greatest, the waitress was more worried about frequently cleaning the table than she was being attentive and listening to the orders at our table. It seems every time we used a napkin she would come by and grab it lol. They weren't busy when we were there, but they did have a lot of pick up to go orders so it did take a while to receive our food. The salsa and chips were really good, I liked it better than the burrito I ordered tbh, I just felt my birria burrito was very bland and lacked a lot of flavor, even after adding lime, salt and both salsas it came with. It also didn't have any cheese like the description had said! The atmosphere was basic hole in the wall type of place, they were playing the soccer game and the volume was really loud, we were practically yelling across the table at each other at times lol. I'd go back to try something different to eat as the other ppl at my table liked what they had ordered. Their selection of adult drinks also isn't the greatest, considering they say they're a bar too! Also! No horchata :(! The chef was really nice, he came to make sure we...

My husband and I had posole here one time and it was amazing. He went back just the other day to get me more posole and some tacos to bring home for me. The posole was menudo (which I don't eat) and the tacos had pickled onions on top...yuck. I went to take the food back n get my money back and got major attitude from a young short lady with blonde weave in hair and wearing way too much makeup. She refused to give me her name but claimed she was the owner. Smh. If she's the actual owner she doesn't carry herself as such. This place will go down hill if she's the owner. If she woulda been nice n accommodating we woulda thought about trying this place again...instead she argued with me and when I asked her name she told me none of my business 😱 I'm shocked an "owner" would talk to customers this way. Btw...the menudo had a huge bone in it with nothing but fat....no meat....nasty! And she said they don't serve posole here....when i know for a fact I've had it there before smh they just didn't wanna make it!...

The first time my partner and I went, it was for a late dinner, and I had found BR while searching for places to eat that were open late. We walked into the middle of a karaoke night (Sundays & Mondays), which kinda felt like we were watching a live show with our dinner. The lights were dimmed, the music and singing loud, and lots of fun energy. The food.. all of it.. is so very good, down to the chips and salsa. Eddie (sp?) was very friendly and attentive as he worked the tables and the bar as well. We just went for our 2nd time and it was again so very delicious. The carne asada burrito and the carne asada tacos were very flavorful. The quesadilla is big and comes with salsa, pico de gallo, and an avocado/jalapeño dipping sauce. This isn’t your garden variety Garcia’s or Filiberto’s. This restaurant is the real deal, like you are down in...
