Besides the great margaritas (I'm picky) & great service; Ordered the large chicken soup to go! Did you see my pics?! They made it fresh for me on a slow night! Came with lemons onions chips tortillas etc! Unbelievable!

Est. 1961- I'm spending some time, revisiting spots that I first experienced during the covid shutdowns. Most of these were places where in-door dining was not allowed. Barragan's is one such place. I enjoyed the food here, and the patio dining was as good as it was going to be in November of 2020. Now I'm back to sit inside, and to see if it is just as good as I remembered. To start, the salsa is still good and spicy. The Mexican Split Pea soup is still tasty, and the main dishes are still large and hearty. The food is solid. We had the #1 combination (Beef Taco & Cheese Enchilada) $24.95, and the #3 (Beef Taco, Cheese Enchilada & Tamale) $27.95. Everything was good. Not the best Mexican food I've had but still solid. A two plate lunch with a cup of soup and no alcohol was $64, with tax (before tip). They are definitely more expensive then I remember, more so than similar places. Nevertheless, The dining room is comfortable and there is a nice vibe inside. The bar is cozy and this looks like a good spot to watch a game. I don't know if they have a happy hour but regardless, Barragan's is still A-OK!

Had the honor of being invited to an event that was hosted here and was super excited to finally try this place. This family-owned restaurant has been around for many decades and I can see why. The ambience, the service and the food were all so great! We sat on the patio which was perfect for a warm evening, shared some appetizers that were all so delicious, and had a couple of margaritas that were made just right. Bonus tip: there's live music on Wednesday nights and a great happy hour menu, and was also told there's also a DJ (or other live music) on Thursdays or Fridays. But whichever day or night you choose to come you'll be sure to have a great time and authentic food. Happy eating!

Happy hour menu

Totally love the Happy Hour menu! Such a bargain for a lot of food. Love the Five tacos and the taquitos! Only problem is this menu is only available Monday through Friday, no weekends. I love the wait staff! They are efficient , helpful and sipper pleasant. Love their humor! Love when they sing Happy Birthday! Enjoy eating In the patio with the heaters. I'll be back and will bring friends!

Barragans has an extensive menu to please mostly everyone. A fast and effective crew to take care of everyone inside. Prices can be considered to be moderate to high. Most plates are around $19-$30. For starters chips and salsa are brought out. Caldos are hot and packed with flavor. The albondigas soup was very generous with the number of meatballs. It was served with beans and rice and tortillas. The chicken enchillada were also good. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of parking.

Barragan's hits all the marks for a good time at a Mexican Restaurant. Great food, vibey atmosphere, and amazing service! Shout out to Freddy for being an amazing server and so attentive! If you want great tasting Mexican food and a fun environment, Barragan's is the place to come to!

Albondigas soup, rice, beans, tortillas,  onions cilantro lemons and chips and salsa.

Albondigas soup. Very large bowl and it comes with a side plate of rice and beans lemons cilantro, onions with your choice of flour or corn tortillas. $10 special weekend price all day. Absolutely delicious with chips and salsa also. Plus our waiter 'Freddy' is the best! So fun and nice.

Carne Asada tacos with all the fixings! That salsa fresca was on point.
Jacque M.

Awesome service & food! Adrian the bartender was amazing. They have $5 bloody Marys on the weekend, too. I got 2 carne asada tacos. The meat was cooked perfectly and the tacos were huge. The Salsa fresca was on point. Soccer & baseball on the TVs in the bar area and a beautiful patio outside on the nice weather days. Great restaurant & staff!

I wish I remembered the name of our waiter. He was fun, kind and entertaining. We sat outside and it was cold for a Monday mid afternoon. Music was playing and my little niece started dancing. The crew was cheering her on, it was the cutest. Thanks to everyone who made her day. Food wws great, taco Monday was good. We also ordered from bar/happy hour menu. Regular entrees seem to be pricey. Margaritas also great!

Cheese enchilada with red sauce and two fried eggs on top.I couldn't wait to eat otherwise, it would have been a more beautiful picture

Updating my review to 5 STARS! Had the very most delicious meal at Barragans today. My order was cheese and onion enchilada w-country, red chile on top with 2 fried eggs. My BF had the Cocido. Absolutely wonderful, my new go to breakfast. Not to mention taco Monday's which we enjoy at least twice a month. The very best part of our experience here, is ALWAYS the warm, attentive, wonderful service. Love you guys !

2 crunchy chicken tacos (with guacamole, costs a little extra) and a strawberry margarita.
Patricia J.

Taco Mondays with crunchy tacos less than $2 a piece! The margaritas are delish, too! The every Monday 'Soup Of The Day' is split pea (more so a YUMMY veggie soup)...I always take a quart home with me! I highly recommend Barragan's, on Victory Blvd in Burbank. Did I forget to mention it's family owned and the staff are really nice??

Albondiga soup my husband loved it

Superb fish tacos and shrimp fajitas! Inside the place, it looks sort of like El Torito, but the food is much better.

We got the Sweet Temptation French toast, the Very Berry French toast, and the Chilaquiles Divorciados. Parking was easy to find (street parking) and we didn't have to wait long for our table. The staff are all very friendly! We asked our waiter for suggestions and he was very helpful. Two of us were feeing sweet, one was feeling savory, and there were plenty of options on the menu. I got the Sweet Temptation French toast. This was delicious. The Dulce de Lèche was rich, but balanced out with the acidity from the strawberries. The French toast was exactly as you would imagine, cooked well and had a nice flavor. The French toast came with a side of eggs, meat, and potatoes. I chose over medium eggs, bacon, and hash browns. My eggs were cooked right, the bacon was crispy without being brittle, and the hash browns were perfect. Definitely worth it! My friends got the Very Berry French toast and the Chilaquiles Divorciados. They both said theirs were delicious as well. The ambience of the restaurant is clean and nice. There's seating indoors and outdoors, we chose to eat inside. The waiter checked on us a few times to make sure we were still doing okay, and we never felt rushed. Overall, I would definitely recommend Cafe De Olla. I'll be back to try their other menu items (:

Prices are more than reasonable compared to other Mexican spots in Burbank. We came for Menudo on a Saturday. It came with all the toppings on the side. I ordered 2 tacos, beef and chicken.

They even have a mole trio for $10 to sample 3 at once. Their menu is small but mighty. Be sure to order chips and salsa. If feeling fancy get the quac. I cant wait to go back.

But unfortunately, they were really unfriendly & understaffed and the waiter/bartender was extremely bothered we were there and seemed very overwhelmed. I don't know who Celia is but maybe get more staff in the kitchen and a hostess and more waitress/waiters. We went in Saturday Valentines night dinner right before 6pm and found parking to be easy and should have taken that as a sign but figured we get better service. NOPE! The parking not is just really small and the people sitting had ordered and committed to staying I guess. Keep reading and you'll get my drift! Honestly, We assumed it would be a great night romantic dinner. Then, we walked in and felt so neglected. No hostess to greet or seat you. The bus man or waiter said wait here and cleaned a table when 3 were available. It looks like the three employees were doing everything and at the same time doing nothing! It was comical at first. He sat us finally and then we ordered. Appetizers and a Molcajete and two nonalcoholic drinks. By now 32mins passed. No chips & salsa. No nothing... we should have just left. But we were lazy to leave elsewhere with no reservations on Valentine day. He brought me a drink from the bar like if I ordered it, I hate to say he might have memory issues. Then he noticed we still don't have our drinks and he had to ask again what I ordered. Now 50mins passed and at another 15 mins the main course came before the appetizers were served so I cancelled it. It just seems like they didn't care for anyone else but the people at the bar. Ppl were just walking in and ended up leaving or seating themselves. Majority left and they didn't even notice! Not welcoming at all and as for the food. I feel like everything was previously frozen as the chicken and meat was very chewy-leather like. The cheese was cold. And just grateful that we didn't get sick because it wasn't cooked all the way. When I go into a restaurant, I expect good service and quality food. I unfortunately won't be returning. Such a shame because this place has western character straight out of a saloon and can't speak for the drinks as we didn't even eat our entire meal and wanted to get the hell out. Do better because this could be a cute hangout spot!
