    La Mejor Barbacoa is a Mexican Restaurant located just outside of Old Town Glendale. The specialty of the house is the Lamb Barbacoa (BBQ) but they also offer a Taco Plate, Cured Meat Platter, Pozole Verde (pork soup), Huaraches (open LONG flat corn cake tortillas with toppings), long Quesadillas (some squash blossom, corn smut), Menudo, Caldo de Rez (beef vegetable soup) and Many Mexican Desserts. This is a casual restaurant. You seat yourself and someone runs a menu over and takes your order. This isn't a fancy place but it appears to be spotless. It looks like it might have been a banquet hall at one time. I tried the Huitlacoche (corn smut) Quesadilla. I received a very long nicely grilled quesadilla stuffed with lots of earthy huitlacoche, melty mild white cheese and two types of corn. It was very tasty. The house made green sauce went really yummy with this quesadilla. My husband got the Bisteck Huaraches. He received a very long sort of open tortilla like corn cake filled with refried beans, green sauce, crumbling cheese and super tasty caramelized steak. It was VERY GOOD! Service was great! Everything was delicious, portions were very large and everything was very reasonably priced. Really really good!

    Not good, chicken taste weird and I got sone nasty pieces and my Lime water had so much foam.

    OMG GREAT POZOLE!

    In a word HUITLACOCHE! It's wonderful, if you haven't tried it, you should. It's hard to find so I was elated when I saw La Major Barbacoa served it. Yum yum yum! The Green Pozole is just out of this world good. The chichiron on top is a terrific bonus. I also cannot say enough about the staff. Just absolutely terrific people. Kind, inviting, and attentive. This is my go to spot for authentic Mexico City from now on!

    Everything we ate was awesome. The Barbacoa was great, fresh tortillas, and good service.

    We were pleasantly surprised by this Mexican restaurant on 83rd Ave. and Peoria. It's a large…read morebuilding with lots of seating at booth tables and bar area. Put your name in at reception and you were taken back usually after a small weight. We didn't have to wait yesterday. The servers are really friendly and checked on a frequently refilling hubs soda a few times without him having to ask. Our waitress also brought us an extra bowl of spicy salsa because she saw we had eaten all of it. Just brought us another basket of hot and chips. On our first visit, I got enchiladas and instead of rice and on the side I decided to choose their potatoes. The potatoes are so delicious. I love them, and I will look forward to these again when we return. Today we ordered: - Coke - Diet Coke (no Coke Zero here) - NACHOS GRANDE - Tortilla chips, cheddar & Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, jalapeños. Choose seasoned ground beef, slow-roasted chicken or refried beans, or for an extra dollar, substitute fire-grilled steak or chicken fajita. I chose the chicken fajita protein topping. I ordered this for an entrée, but it would be a really good appetizer for 3 to 6 people. It's almost like cheese crisps, halved, with lots of melted cheese and a small amount of meat on each tortilla half. In the center there are toppings. I enjoyed the pickled jalapeños because they weren't extra hot. This hit my comfort food spot. I wasn't able to eat the whole thing so it was so big, but it was exactly what I was looking for. - THE GRANDE COMBINATION - Beef, chicken, cheese enchiladas, cheese chile relleno, tamale, crispy beef taco, guacamole. This combination is HUGE! Even the plate is grande. Absorbed this, and I think his eyes were larger than his stomach. He filled up on the beans and the rice, the chile relleno, and the taco. He got to take three enchiladas and a tamale for dinner the next night. A very nice tasty plate. Complementary chips and three types of salsa are brought to the table. Of the salsas, one is a red sauce that is mild, one is a pineapple tomatillo, and one is a spicier red salsa. The chips are nice and fresh and thin and brought to the table warm. Men's and women's restroom near the entrance for customers.

    Horrible hostess! Place was very empty with no line and at…read moreleast 10 empty tables but she made us wait 10 minutes to be seated. She attempted to sit us in a booth. When requesting a table she stated there were only 2 servers and that the tables were not in their "section" which was only 4 feet from the booths! Stupidity at epic levels! We turned around and left after wasting 10 minutes. Eat at Firebirds across the street for better food, service and a hostess with brains!
