"To be honest, we’ve eaten a considerable amount of authentic Mexican cuisine in both Southern California and Mexico. But we also understand the purpose served by Barberitos. This is fast-food “Mexican” very similar to the Moe’s franchise in a small town with hungry college kids who lack discriminating palates. It’s a step above Taco Bell and not meant to be gourmet by any stretch of the imagination. That being said, on our travel to all 50 states and 65 countries, for the money you’ll spend Barberitos is nothing shy of the worst value of any restaurant in which we’ve eaten. We spent over $50 for a family of three. For what? The tortillas were horrifically stale, as were the chips. The chicken and steak are of deplorable quality. And the queso tastes like someone bought Velveeta singles and melted them in a cup. Only the toppings were moderately acceptable. Overall, the food is simply awful even if it ran $10 per person, but it’s shocking the bill surpassed $50 for such horrible food. Anyone who gives such a place five stars has absolutely lost their minds!"
