    Shrimp tacos
    Sabrina M.

    We loved our first time eating here. We met up with our sons who go to Chico State to celebrate our daughter's birthday. The food was delicious and the staff was amazing. Thank you for making my daughter's birthday special.

    a plate of mexican food

    The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. The menu is not your traditional Mexican restaurant. Only fish or shrimp tacos, even though the next item is carne asada or chicken fajitas. Pretty much everything is shrimp shrimp and shrimp. What I found odd was their soft drinks - regular Pepsi but only Diet Coke in a warm can no less. Had to ask for ice. They bring you a small bowl of tortilla chip which appear to be made at the restaurant. The presentation of the food is done quite well. Your food is served on a large rectangular plate with a small ramekin formed rice and small 1/4 cup refried bean. I had the shrimp taco's which come either a soft or hard shell. Shrimp was not over cooked but lacked any real flavor. A small side of 1000 island dressing was provided. What was shocking was the prices !! $72 for lunch for 3 people (tacos). We were in Arbuckle !! not San Francisco. The place has a sports bar setting with TV's with a Art Deco decor. It appears they have a secret menu for local's because I saw their food and it was not $20+ per dish. As for service, are waitress was essentially clueless and spoke very little English. Always had to ask for something but only if we were able to find her. Having grown up nearby - this restaurant clear does not fit the AG community it is in. It's not a traditional Mexican restaurant, ie. Tacos, burritos and enchiladas. Bottom line if you are going to change this high prices then service comes with it. The food flavor was C+

    Would have been a 5 star, because it's pretty authentic food from Nayarit (serving mariscos with white rice, not regular Mexican rice like in other restaurants), but man, service was pretty bad! Waiter never came back after she took our order. In addition, it took a pretty long time to get food, and it wasnt even packed. Coulda been a 5, dang!

    Carne Asada Con Camarones quite tasty

    food tasted bland and extremely horrible service. They gave us a menu where the price wasn't…read moreupdated. They still wanted to charge us their current price even though we said we were eating on a budget that day and would have come back another day if we knew it would cost more. If our server was also owner, shame on them. And if she was an employee, she needs customer service training. Cooks need retraining too or recipe needs updating.

    On our way home from Lake County, the crew was craving breakfast burritos, and Tacos La Barca…read moreseemed to be one of the few places offering them, so we stopped in. I ordered the $12.99 chorizo breakfast burrito, added refried beans, and grabbed a canned soda. When the total came out to nearly $20, I was a little shocked. I'm still not quite sure how a burrito, a soda, and tax got that high. That must have been a very expensive Diet Pepsi can. To top it all off, the soda was expired since October 2025 and you could taste it. It tasted like a can of brown carbonated water. The lady at the register was extremely friendly and even brought out complimentary chips and salsa. Service was quick, and our food came out fast. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the service. My burrito lacked seasoning and overall flavor. It wasn't terrible, but it was bland and forgettable. The friendly service was the highlight of the visit, but based on the food and price, I wouldn't return.
