Food just isn't as good as most of the Mexican restaurants in Mobile. The margarita was really bad. The waiter was exceptionally nice and courteous. read more

I've been going there a long time spent over $4000 at this restaurant during the year 2025 I'll never go back after they served me steak that wasn't fit for my dog to eat Don't waste your time and money like I did read more

The food. The food. The food. Pastor street tacos are TOP TIER! I've never had a bad experience with customer service and the price is very reasonable. It's located where the old mellow mushroom was and it's the same vibe. Go have a chill day at the bar! read more

Very nice Mexican restaurant with great service the night we visited. The food was very good. We ordered the fajitas and it was amazing. Many Mexican restaurants pile on the onions, peppers and tomatoes, but not here it was a blended in with more meat than anything. My wife and I shared it and it was more than enough. We took the rest with us and had it in the hotel for lunch the next day. Quick service and the margaritas were on point. A very good experience. read more

Very attentive service. Food is solid and prices are reasonable. Last time I went, the beef tacos needed more seasoning but otherwise a positive experience. Drinks are good as well. read more

We went to Bariachi for Father's Day lunch. Our server was attentive and the service was fast. Most of us had no trouble with our food, though we did have a few duplications somehow (I ordered 3 different street tacos and two separate orders of 3 came out. One other person in our party ordered a taco, and we were given three! I don't know if we were charged for all of these duplicates or not, because I didn't get a look at the bill.). But our main complaint of the day had to do with the cleaning fluid. First, when my husband and I arrived, the interior of the restaurant smelled heavily of some kind of citrusy cleaning fluid. It was overpowering and probably would have given me a headache had we chosen to eat inside. The outdoor seating area smelled similarly, but it became less strong as more customers were seated outside, the wind blew some of the smell away I guess, and it also rained. And also, my husband's taco salad tasted like it. I tasted the shell just to be sure it wasn't a phantom smell somehow, but it was the exact flavor of the cleaning fluid inside the restaurant! When we told our waitress, she had absolutely ZERO reaction to this news. Which begs the question: how many times has this happened before?? She simply asked whether he wanted it remade or wanted them to make something else instead. He opted to have it remade. Unfortunately the taco shell of the replacement still tasted like the cleaner, though less strongly, and the rest of his food tasted fine, so he just ignored the shell and ate the salad. read more

We sat at the bar and got there at 7:00 and they had just gotten slammed full of people otherwise we would have sat at a table. The bartender waited on us his name is Ricardo, we found out later that he was also the owner. He was very apologetic because he was in the weeds, restaurant talk for extremely busy, and he couldn't wait on us right away. We had a couple beers and a chimichanga as well as the taco trio, 2 beef 1 chicken. The food was good but bland. I added salt and it was delicious. The employees made the experience awesome and because of that we will be back regardless. The customer service was impeccable aside from the hiccup when we arrived. The place is open with tables outside. read more

Very friendly staff! Got seated right away, and the food was great! I'm surprised they only get a 3 star rating on here, so I wanted to review them to give them a boost! We ordered the 3 cheese enchilada meal with green sauce and it did not disappoint! The kids chicken taco was very tasty, they use marinated shredded chicken, so it had great flavor. Chips and salsa were on point, though we like our salsa a touch spicier, but the flavor was great. read more

Favorite Mexican in mobile! The best staff and food is always delicious!! I would recommend!

Food was delicious and service was on point! Got the supreme chicken nachos which, no exaggeration, were the best I've ever had. That along with the cucumber lime margarita made an awesome dinner. read more

Food is terrible!!!! Taco salad does not even come with tomatoes!!!! Pay extra!!! Yuk!!! read more

Bariachi is in the old Mellow Mushroom in Midtown. We stopped by one night because I had a craving for mexican food. We were seated immediately-one issue was torn seats in the booths. It isn't the end of the world, but it hurts on bare legs and could be an infection control issues if moisture gets in the cushions. They should replace those that are damaged. We were immediately served our beer and wine choices along with hot crisp tortilla chips with homemade salsa. It was so good. My hubby had taco salad with ground beef and enjoyed it very much. I had the Carne Asada. I was a bit skeptical at first, but is arrived on a steaming skillet and was seasoned to perfection. It was actually very tender. It came with plenty of sides. The salad was the best part. It was crisp with fresh limes and cilantro. This is good solid Mexican food. It will quench that craving. read more

Ordered to go...waited 45 minutes past my expected order time. Our order included fajitas and a chicken burrito....the fajitas didn't come with any shells. The queso was inedible...tasted burnt. Won't be going back. read more

This is authentic Mexican street tacos, food is amazing!!! Drinks are pretty good too. And all waitress provide excellent service, I highly recommend to try it read more

So I don't enjoy eating Mexican food out, my mother is a Latina and can throw down in the kitchen. It usually frustrates the misses but I'm reluctant to try Mexican restaurants. Her prayers were answered when we went to Bariachi. The food is flavorful, hot and fresh! We ordered some queso to start, of course. It was creamy, warm and the proper thickness for dipping! The tortilla chips tasted fresh, were warm and didn't have to be doused in salt. She ordered the quesadilla and said it was amazing. I ordered the Bariachi burrito and was very pleased. It was busting with steak, mushrooms, peppers and onions and had amazing flavor. The steak was cooked to perfection and it's huge! To finish we ordered some sopapillas and they were warm, sweet, and the perfect ending to a meal! Lastly, we were stuffed and it was extremely affordable! I'm stoked this place opened up and it's a stones throw from home which could be dangerous! Bariachi is muy bien and I can't wait to go back! read more

We used to love this place as it is close to our house. Last time we went we ordered the pick two combo: quesadilla and burrito. Waitress asked what meat would I like. I said whatever it comes with. She said anything you want. I choose chicken. My order came it was just some cheese and chopped chicken. Nothing else. No beans, no lettuce no tomatoes. I ate it. It was completely flavorless. When the bill came there was a charge for the Chicken. $4, a charge for queso cheese (which I didn't order) a $2. charge for lettuce and tomatoes. All of this making a bland $11 meal nearly $20. I asked the server why did they charge for all of these things if they didn't come with it originally or even show up at the table. Her response was "we have raised our prices." The meat is extra? So basically, I ordered two tortillas shells for $11?? I told the server I'm not paying for things that I didn't order nor come to the table. She said "bless your heart and HAVE A NICE DAY." The manger did come and remove the items and I moved on. Just won't eat here anymore. However, my neighbor told me today that she had the same thing happen. She checked her bill and had over $10 in extra charges; and just for lettuce and tomatoes. Check your bill with this place! We will drive farther, next time. read more

We ordered Doordash and got our order and were disappointed that we did not have chips or salsa. I called to let them know and they said they no longer provide them with to go orders and now charge you for them. Now our group has no salsa to go on our food. What a way to lose business, cheap, cheap, cheap. Goodbye, Bariachi. read more

I really do like this place, especially their street tacos and sopes. I have not ventured out beyond that (chilaquiles are next) as in looking at most other dishes coming out, the portions are really big and it's too much food for me. Two people can easily split a lot of dishes. Their house salsa isn't spicey but one must make for the masses but still good in flavor, chips really good too. I did like that this past Saturday I went they had a big poster of their specials (drinks too). I will say I have had their house margarita and was like a melted lime lollipop. Might be spending some time on their patio too when the weather is ready for that. Only not 5 stars becase of the margarita. I will try some of their other drinks to be super fair, as the Pina Colada looks tasty, you know, for science. read more

Bariachi Midtown - Seen 02/01/2020 - Mexican Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Please read the reviews before eating here!!!!! I wish I did. :( If you look at my profile, you will see that I do a bunch of reviews and I give kudos to those who met my expectations or beyond, and a "not-so-much" to those who don't come close. This restaurant barely came anywhere close to a "kudos" rating. I'll cut to the chase: *Food-mediocre (I've had MUCH better) *Atmosphere- went on Cinco de Mayo and was expecting Mariachi or at least Hispanic music (even if not live band). Well, they had some DJ playing pretty close to rap top 40 style music with HEAVY, HEAVY base, so it was nearly impossible to hear anything and we were inside far away from where it was set up outside. Already, not pleased and at that time it should have been our "cue" to leave. Oh and had the regular Hispanic restaurant music playing indoors...UGH headache was about to begin right there. *Frank-he was our so-called server that: never introduced himself, welcomed us, or even acted as though he cared. He was rushing us and seemed preoccupied with something else. HERE IS THE CLINCHER: When we first sat down, we asked what sizes the margaritas came in. We were going to order a large one to share like we always do. He then stated they were only serving them in plastic cups (like a solo) to cut down on dirty glassware and was charging $7.00 for that!!! We declined at that point and had tea. Not too soon after our teas and food were brought to us, another table was being seated and low-and-behold over walks a person with what looked to be a "TOWER" like a large tube with a spikit for pouring the margarita out into the glass. When the bill came, I asked Frank why he didn't sell us one of those because we definitely wanted a large drink and in his words " didn't know y'all were drinking???? Oh really ??? That's funny because I distinctly recall having a lengthy conversation about drinks, glassware, and the like. As others reported, the food was rather bland, I make better salsa and Pico de Gallo at home, from scratch and am not even Hispanic. We will not entertain this place ever again, but rather find somewhere better. read more

What a great and flavorful addition to Mobile's Mexican good scene. I tried many west mobile Mexican restaurants but felt the flavor fell flat. Bariatchi is full flavored Mexican kitchen food that is sure to have you leaving and wanting to return. I must also give a shout out to the service (Jody) as well! A great experience that will lead to my return for sure! read more

I had the street tacos, with chicken and beef. It was good. They gave me hot chips and salsa to start, and it was also good. Service was great. read more

The good: portion size and flavor The bad: sanitation I saw the silverware wrapper eating with her hands while wrapping the silverware on Monday night. I also saw the manager on duty very rudely treat another customer who was trying to complain about the terrible service he received. My silverware was also visibly dirty. I will not be back with my own money. This was almost 1 star, but the food did taste good. read more

It's a great atmosphere to eat at. The servers are always friendly. The drinks are pretty good! Some were strong with little fruit taste but I'm nit picking right now. I've never had a bad experience there. Food always is good! Highly suggest this place to eat. read more

I've been back twice since my first review. Service is still faultless. Margaritas still taste a little funky, and the salsa for chips still tastes like Pace. Guacamole is a little bland. The sope was brick hard around the edges, but the toppings were tasty and generous. The quesadillas taste great, but twice they were in a pool of moisture and grease. Not something that everywhere else I've had them works as a hand-held. I hate to give such a low rating when things taste OK and the servers are doing their job well. But there are problems in the kitchen. I'll wait a few months or a year again before I go back. I hate that. I try to go to very local places whenever I can. read more

The food here is okay but the servers seem to be wandering around in a daze. Nobody paying the slightest attention to their tasks or the needs of customers. PLEASE, someone offer some supervision and guidance as nobody seems to know what they're supposed to be doing. Explain to them exactly what their job involves and how customer service is important. No one working there seems to know what their job is. read more

So the service was outstanding. It was also clean inside and the atmosphere was pleasant, but the food was cardboard! The food had absolutely zero flavor! I got street tacos and my girlfriend got a burrito even the salsa was like eating a can of dressed up tomato soup! If your a connoisseur of la tacos I'd pass! Hell Taco Bell would be better than eating at this bland place! 2 out of 10 on this place. read more

Went here last Friday night with friends, food was okay, we ordered a pitcher of margaritas that was average at best, but that is not the reason for a one star review, the short story is my bill was $47, and with a tip was around $55 and I was good with that, until I checked my bank account and I was charged a little over $102 for my order....all I know is at this point in time is that someone better have some really good answers as to why I was charged $55 for a tip on a $47 order....and second, this is far from the last time this establishment is going to hear about this, If you want to succeed in business, first rule should be to not steal from your customers... read more

Food is alright. Not the best. The drink specials are definitely worth it. Subpar service. It's in a convenient place, so I'll probably go again but not often. read more

I really hate to give bad reviews but this was terrible. As is muy typical in our area, the place was understaffed and we were waiting long periods of time for margaritas, etc. I had the beans and cheese enchilada. Never had something so bland in my life at a Mexican restaurant and that's saying something. Super basic with nothing else but a bad cheese topping, beans and tortilla. No flavor at all. It was like I was eating a tasteless kids menu item. They messed my husband's order up as well with a wrong sauce topping. He said it was so so. Margaritas were so so but they were light tasting. What it does have going for it is a nice restaurant with trendy look and outside area. Also a different menu from others in the area. read more

Nice addition to the Midtown area! Everything was great, but they're still working on the margarita recipe. Will definitely be back!

No masks required to begin with. Food is great, can't complain about that! As far as service goes, every time we have ordered to-go, they have messed up every single time. It has been about 6 times in total. Dining in was decent service. I'd recommend not ordering to-go. The manager also hung up on my husband when we were politely telling him how often they have messed up our order. read more

Just ok Mexican my chimichanga was cold in the center. The waitstaff was good though the atmosphere was of the fastfood style vinyl booths and hard floors wide open. Ok for fast cheap mex. read more

Natalia hi used to be our go to place for Mexican food. Convienent, good food . The last time we went we were told they no longer served free chips. We were disappointed. We always purchased cheese dip with the chips. We decided not to go back. read more

I just moved to the area and was looking for somewhere that made birria tacos like from the area I am from. After spending about an hour looking at reviews I chose Bariachi. When I arrived I placed my order for 3 chicken birria tacos (I know that the initial birria is made with brisket BUT I have done the chicken, shrimp, etc as birria) along with a side of rice and refried beans. At no point did the waitress tell me they don't do this here. When my food came, I had 3 chicken tacos with cilantro and onions. Confused I called another waitress or manager (I don't know who she was) who informed me that birria only comes with brisket. It was already 9pm and I ate them reluctantly. The "birria consommé) was horrible snd tasteless and I had to dump some salt to get it to have some flavor. I never got rice and beans (my food was brought to me by the floor manager or whatever she was, not my waitress. When my waitress asked me how was the food, I told her disappointed and no flavor and DEFINITELY not birria. She said she would send it back and I declined (you only have 1 chance to get it right with me when it comes to my food). Imagine how pissed I was when I got my ticket and it states "3 pollo asado add cheese 1.50 and consume(I am remiss to say this is the consommé) -1.50" nothing on my ticket indicates birria. I paid $12 for 3 chicken tacos with no flavor. And I definitely did not have 4 guests at my table only myself. Honestly, I feel the young lady gave me someone else's food and didn't want to own up to it. I ordered some nachos to go and those were fine according to my husband. I guess I'll have to wait until I go back to my home state to get me some birria tacos. I definitely would not recommend or go back. read more

This week was my husband and my first time eating here. All I can say is the food was so good that it was all eaten. The portion sizes were great, and the prices were comparable to other similar to other local restaurants. We will be going back. read more

The best place to visit in midtown. The food is amazing and the staff and owner are incredible! I can't say enough about this place.
