Our office party was just held here. It was great. The staff was amazing and super attentive to our needs. The drinks were nice and stiff, which everyone can appreciate that. We sat outside and were surrounded by heat lamps that made it very comfortable and cozy. read more

Taco Monday!?! Tacos for $1.25!?! Count me in! Worst waste of $1.25 (actually $5 since I ordered 4) in a long time. I would have done better to eat my $5 bill. It would have had more flavor. I ordered 2 chicken tacos and 2 beef tacos. I had to keep putting my fingers in my mouth to make sure there was food in there the chicken tacos were so tasteless. I cannot remember having ever tasted anything so bland. Like they boiled chicken breasts in water for hours and hours, threw away the broth, and then boiled them some more. The beef tacos were not much better. The only reason they got 2 stars instead of 1 is that the service was fine and the salsa, although watery, did at least have some decent flavor. Absolutely no heat, but cilantroy/oniony/tomatoey flavor. The chips were okay. They were chips. Maybe the overly large white people that kept coming in should have tipped me off. Apparently this place has been around since the 60's. It tasted like their chicken had been too. Until I am old and can only eat the blandest of foods I won't be back. read more

Barragan's - $1.25 tacos. Not worth it. - Mexican Near Me - Burbank, California

This place sucks big ass balls. The food is way over price and not good at all. I ordered fish tacos with rice and beans. It looked like the cook slap on big tortillas heated up in the microwave, the fish was way too salty and no flavor. My girlfriend ordered corn tortilla quesadilla greasy and tasteless. I will never ever comeback to this shithole. I don't understand why this place is still in business. Conclusion: ripoff artist serving expensive low grade food. read more

Horrible service. We had to ask for utensils and plates multiple times. They place the food in front of us with no utensils. We waited longer than usual to get the food. We were brought out extra plates with food stains on it. I don't know if they are under staffed but this was not a good experience. read more

They need a policy about SUPER RUDE PEOPLE playing their phones CRAZY LOUD! use headphones! Or take meds for your ADD if you have to watch TV on your phone in public... awful!! Ruined breakfast!! It was TERRIBLE... management should have said something!!! Can't kill their stars siince I love Barrigans.. especially Fre read more

I have been going to Barragan's for years now. Normally I go there on Monday night for the taco special. I highly enjoy the food, salsa is delicious, tacos are tasty with a great crunch to the shell and I think they have the best rice around. What makes this place even better is the staff, super friendly, quick and they take care of you. Hugo especially, he has my drinks out to my table about 60 seconds after I sit down without even having to order. Always love to chat with him and joke around. I always look forward to dollar taco Mondays! read more

Amazing service!! Been coming here for 3 years with my partner. Family owned, the staff is so friendly! Drinks are BOMB:) Stay safe, stay healthy LA!:) XO read more

Stopped by yesterday after my daughter's basketball game. They were able to accommodate our large group of 15. Also we didn't have to wait long for our food and drinks. Which everyone seemed to enjoy. But the highlight of our visit was Freddy our waiter. He was awesome!!. He provided us great service along with big laughs and an enjoyable afternoon. Thank you Freddy! read more

This place sucks! It was built and decorated in the 80s and never cleaned or updated again. Old and outdated. I'm all for greasy spoons and hidden gems but this is not that. Drinks were awful! Couldn't even drink them. Food was ridiculously expensive and not good. We had to send back our undrinkable margaritas. Got replacements....just as bad! The plates were close to $20 for two items with rice and beans. About $12-$13 bucks at any other restaurant. The waiter was not friendly and made us feel rushed. He dropped food all over the place as he was removing my boyfriend's plate, even in his drink, then walked away laughing. This place truly creeped me out. Just thinking about it today is making sick. Do not recommend. Won't be back. read more

Great service excellent food the host and waiters were very pleasant been their customer a very long time.

My family and I just had an amazing time @ Barragan's in Burbank. The food, the ambiance and specially the service was extraordinary!!! Can't wait for a second time around. read more

This is a no no for me. The food is below average. I don't think you can even consider it Mexican food. Actually I know you can't, but it's Burbank so I guess it somehow works. It's a Burbank classic so it's always busy and service is slow because they are busy. I'm impressed that they can keep it up, but I do not want to go back there. read more

Great food... Nice patio and inside dining. Attentive and offered great service to my party of eight.

I used to love Barragan's. Their food is now so bland and not worth it. This review is based on meals that were delivered. The shrimp tacos were rubbery, again, and the beef tacos, according to my boyfriend, completely tasteless. I don't know what happened to the chef, but they're doing something really wrong and they just lost a loyal customer. Just to let you know, it takes a lot of bad meals for me to write a poor review. Save your money and go to another restaurant. Sorry Barragan's, you lost your touch. read more

In the late 1970's we were introduced to Barragan's near Silverlake, California. Then and now, the food is delicious. We had not been to the one in Burbank for over 3 years and while recently visiting family we invited them to Barragans in Burbank. We ordered 5 different dishes, from Chile Relleno with Shredded Port, Camarones (Shrimp) Al Mojo de Ajo (garlic), Enchiladas, and Caldo de Res, Caldo de Pollo, plus of course those refreshing Margaritas. Some at our table had never been to a Barragans and were absolutely delighted with the service, the delicious food, and the ambiance. We were pleased as well, because Carlos, our server was still there and immediately recognized us. We had excellent service, and the delicious food brought back great memories of days gone by. My Caldo de Res was hearty and full of butter-like beef and vegetables. My mother-in-law said her Caldo de Pollo was exquisite. This was a great birthday celebration with family. Great JOB! Thank you Barragans for your delicious food! read more

First time, and we had a great experience! First off service was amazing!! Fast, courteous and friendly. Shoutout to our waiter, Hugo, and the other team members helping him as well. Food portions are HUGE! Margaritas are exquisite! Take advantage of Margarita Wednesdays! Huge shoutout to the bartender, 5 stars! read more

It's always been one of my favorite weekend breakfasts place to go for many many years. I used to go to echo park location until they were closed. Started going to Glendale location until they were closed. Now with COVID haven't been back to the Burbank location. I do missed the breakfast specials with coffee and chips and salsas. No more deals. We used to know the owners and all their staff very well. How I miss it !!!!! read more

Atmosphere is great and service is ok. However, the food is terrible. Right off the bat, the tortilla chips served was deep fried and really greasy, it coated our fingertips with oil. The salsa for it was red and thick, looking and tasting like it came out of a can or jar. I ordered the chicken fajita tostados. I returned it back after trying to eat it for 5 minutes. I really did try my best, but it was really bad. The lettuce was moist and tasted old... They had no crunch to them or color. The avocados in the quacamole were also a grey color and runny... It didn't taste fresh. The beans were just a goop of watery stuff. The chicken was the final blow to the meal - it was marinated in something really salty. My waiter told me they use soy sauce along with other ingredients in the marinara. I'm ok with moderate salt levels but this was just too much. I returned my plate, to which the waiter was nice about. But I won't be returning. Their food quality is really bad - anyone with a decent knowledge of what fresh ingredients are could see right through it, starting with the tortillas that welcomed us when we sat down. The restaurant tries to salvage the meal by dousing it with extra cheese and salt. Gross. Worst part is the prices are still not that cheap. It's NOT a case of 'you get what you pay for'. You actually get underserved. Save your money. read more

The worst Mexican food ever !! Horrible service lazy staff. Save yourself a visit and spend your money on better quality Mexican food. I can't believe how this place has gone downhill. All the food was over salted, we had to ask for refills, and got a horrible attitude every time we asked for something. This place doesn't even deserve 1 star read more

They have 2 beautiful large outside eating areas, and the service was pretty fast and Attentive. The food wasn't great, not a place worth recommending or will be wanting to go back to myself. And after getting home 6 out of our party of 8 didn't feel too good to our stomachs the rest of the night read more

My cousin wanted to have dinner tonight at this place. I usually don't come on a Tuesday .I come on a Wednesday cuz it's margarita Wednesday half price on margaritas and they do make it strong. The food here is okay not bad. I usually get the seafood quesadilla . They do put a lot of seafood in the quesadilla that's a plus. Other then that I'm just here to drink. read more

Patio staff was awesome! Javier and Max my waiters worked quickly and with a smile. I needed to save seats for my party, they moved tables and made sure we were set and ready with chips and salsa for the groups arrival. Its a smaller area and with the cool summer breeze seats fill fast. Also, the band that's here is really Great! Songs from War (so) to James Taylor to cumbias and salsa they had everyone dancing! Going to het the name... Manuel Mendoza Band oh just amazing! The food is yummy and served in big portions, so come hungry. read more

When you can't wait till TACO TUESDAY, you go to TACO MONDAYS at Barragan's. The tacos are very addicting because I try to go there every Monday night and I'm not the only one. I have actually made friends with a few of the regulars. Great bar seating at the Burbank location, (They have one in Glendale too) The tacos are fried to perfection. They have ground beef, chicken, and potato. The green salsa is the best and don't forget to ask for cilantro and onion and those tiny banana peppers on the side. read more

This review is based on their Breakfast menu for Sundays. I love coming here on Sunday's with my family for several reasons.. One they have a huge screen TV in the main dining room if you want to watch whatever game is on. The breakfast specials are served till 11am and are all under $6.00 and I actually like their food in comparison to other chain Mexican restaurants and the staff is friendly and attentive and you never wait more then 5 minutes for your food to be served. I did notice they have a bar area as well. but not a great idea for Sunday breakfast with mom and the nephews. read more

Great food. Great service. The food is very fresh and delicious parking facilities. Nice crowd.

Don't go here, unless you want some Tex mex cafeteria food. Prices are high. Food isn't good. Bad to say the least. Sopes covered in lettuce. Sauce bleed all the way thru, cut of the meat was extremely fatty. Didn't even eat it left the food. Don't recommend, SO BAD read more

Dear Barragans WHAT HAPPENED??!! The margarita was good. I ordered dinner it came with a salad. The lettuce was wilted and brown. The server said he noticed but served it anyway. I ordered the combo fajitas. The beef was full of gristle and the plate full of water. As if had beeb been frozen. When I pointed it out the same server said "what? To juicy?" Lol Seriously. And it tasted of soy sauce. Needless to say I've been coming here for years it's been steadily going down hill. This is most definitely my last trip to one of Burbanks oldest Mexican restaurants. read more

We went here today because we have been looking for a good Mexican Restaurant since many of our favorites have closed. The food was extremely overpriced compared to other Mexican food restaurants in the area. The plates were $5-10 more for the combo or fajitas than what we've paid in the past elsewhere. The meals did come with a salad or soup, which other restaurants often don't have with such meals. I thought maybe that was the reason for the higher price, but when we got our salads I was disappointed to see that it looked liked they just took pre-cut iceberg lettuce out of a package and put dressing on the side. No tomatoes or anything else added! Definitely not worth the extra money. When we got the food, it was pretty tasteless. My husband got the taco/cheese enchilada combo and did not think it had any flavor. I got the chicken fajitas and the veges were warmed, but raw and were made up of mostly raw sliced tomatoes. Those should have been on the salad! There was quite a bit of chicken but it had very little seasoning and was not very tasty. Our two meals came to $55 which was a big waste of our hard earned money. Also, the service was lousy and our waiter never even came back to check in with us or refill our water/sodas. I DO NOT recommend this place at all!!! Save your money and open a can of refried beans at home. It will taste better!! read more

The burrito was flavorless. I asked for beans on the side and no rice. I got a burrito with rice and beans inside. It was super dry. No flavor at all. This place used to good. Dont know what happened. The food is too expensive for quality. Not worth it. Not going back read more

4 stars for the cocido! Hael-YES! Awesome beef short rib and vegetable soup that is one heck of a manly meal. Believe it. Amazing broth and vegetables, it comes with a side of rice, beans and choice of tortillas. This hefty and delicious meal will fill you up for the whole day. I like Barragan's but I love, LOVE the cocido. It's now hard not to order this dish, especially if the weather is chilly or raining. read more

I stopped in for a late lunch, it was a busy day for me. I was hungry and wanted good Mexican food. I sat in the bar and had a beer chips n salsa. I ordered my meal and waited, and waited, and waited....the bartender told me my food will be out soon. Sooo, I waited, and waited, and waited...I wasn't upset, but I was hungry. The bartender came back a he told me that there was a mix up with the cooks and my food was missed. The night manage came to my table and said the food would be on them because of the mix up. I said no that wouldn't be necessary I was enjoying watch the older man watching videos on his phone, he was laughing and I was laughing with him(he didn't know I was listening to him). They insisted that I don't pay anything. I don't remember the night managers name but I feel she did the right thing. I've worked in retail most of my adult life. That's how a manager should respond in a situation like this......great job!!! read more

food was overpriced , customer service was not good at all . the server kept saying smart comments about what we wanted . all the topping for tacos and burritos were a la carte , we had to pay more for onions and cilantro and sauce for our tacos ontop of the $22 tacos that only came with 2 plain tacos . 100% would not recommend read more

I've been coming to Barragan's for over twenty years, and while it's never been great Mexican food, the recent decline in quality signals major problems behind the scenes, possibly a change in ownership. First, the prices are outrageous for utterly mediocre food. Eighteen to twenty dollars for something slopped onto a plate that somewhat approximates Mexican food is ridiculous. The "enchiladas" were drenched in a sauce, but it sure wasn't enchilada sauce. Plus, there was a whole bay leaf in the machaca within the enchilada. Second, the last visit produced a new problem -- salsa that tasted of mildew. I brought it to the attention of the staff, who seemed alarmed, but nothing further was said about it. The salsa itself may have been fine, but it have definitely been stored in something tainted of mildew. Third, the place is in dire need of a deep cleaning. Duty, dank, and all around depressing, but it's no more than a day of cleaning could take care of. That's only the dining room and bar, of course, and one hopes the kitchen is in better shape due to regular health inspections. The aforementioned salsa makes that seem unlikely. It's just not worth the trip anymore. There are more authentic, cheaper alternatives easily available, which the owners should bear in mind. Avoid, at least until they get their act together. It's too bad, because some of the staff has been working there for decades, and can't be too happy about what the place has become. read more

Yum!!! This place is dark and sticky but the food is AMAZING. I was very pleasantly surprised.

I loved this place. HOWEVER, I ordered food to go today and as I opened up my salsa container I found a long beard hair in my salsa! A-long-thick-noticeable beard hair...I will no longer eat at this place because this is one of those "hole in the walls" restaurants that are suppose to have good food but now I just know this place is dirty from the outside and the inside. I'm giving this place 2 stars just for the friendly staff, so thanks to you. But other than that this place has failed me. read more
