    Located in the La Marque Outlet Mall, Barcena's is a consistent yummy, good-quality Mexican restaurant! They can handle large groups with great service! If we can, we call ahead to try to reserve an area for our group. If you order fajitas for one, either take some home or share with another!

    Menudo with pigs feet was great. They have chicken pozole - didn't try Taxco- 2 cheese enchiladas with chicken tostados and chicken taco. Borracho beans Mexican cokes. Wonderful server and great atmosphere Definitely will be back.

    Nice place...

    Unexpected lunch/dinner.... Very Surprised by this restaurant. I didn't expect it to be this good!! The beef was Tender and Juicy inside my Burrito . The salsa around the Burrito was tasty and delicious too.... Beans and rice well done Good vibrant Mexican music in the background playing. Kinda pricey but I guess with Inflation and ALL the crap going up ,up, up from the current crappy Administration....it's typical. I really enjoyed the comida and atmosphere too.... Lotsa people coming in and out with regulars and more. Fast and friendly waitress with quick turnaround of filling beverage and making sure that I was happy as well. Nice touch.....

    I got caught in a rainstorm on the way back from Houston, so I stopped here to let some of the rain pass. I had no idea if it was any good. After seating, I received chips and salsa. Very tasty. I like the texture of the chips (thick) and the medium heat on the salsa. Then, I ordered Chalupas- one chicken and one beef. They came with beans, rice, avocado, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sour cream. I had never had chalupas before, but it won't be my last time! I loved it all! The lettuce was crisp, the Chalupas were perfect - both the beef and chicken, and all the trimmings were fresh and tasty. I'm glad I found another place to dine!

    Gringos always hits hard! The food, the drinks the service, the atmosphere and ambiance is family…read morefriendly but also "bar-area fun"!!! Always our fav!

    I don't know what it is about this place. I really want to like it, but it always misses the mark…read more I've had two good experiences out of five times I've been there. The food is pretty good, as is the green sauce, and now that they added a spicy red sauce the food is even better. The building itself is nice but different tables have different vibes. The manager does go around checking on people but the issues aren't something that make sense to bring up at the time because it's always something different that is lacking. This last visit on Saturday the 11th of April. The hostess, a young short blonde girl (I won't mention the name), was rude. No eye contact, barely acknowledging we are standing right in front of her, definitely no greeting, and no direct communication. Just whispers to the person showing us to our table with a blank expression on her face. This was almost enough for me to decide it was going to be a bad experience. Definitely a bad initial impression. I said hi to her, told her thank you, and everything trying to extend courtesy then I remembered SHE is the hostess not me. Ridiculous. Our waitress that day McKenzie was pretty good, but I felt bad for her. Our table was as far as you can get from the kitchen or wherever the wait staff goes to get water, chips, food etc. and she was having a hard time serving, especially cause she would bring out one thing at a time. For example, she would see we had an empty cup, so she would just leave and come back and drop off a cup without communicating, well if she asked we would have told her, we need chips, water, salsa, napkins. Instead she made a trip for each of these, one at a time. Really weird wait style and very inefficient. She was still good though, because even thought at times she wouldn't communicate at all, she was still observing what we needing and dealing with it. Must be a weird gen z lack of interpersonal skills. I really want to like this place, they're on the cusp of being great, but need to work on consistency.
