"Absolutely amazing food. I have only been a few times, and each time has been perfect. I have only gotten take out, never eaten inside. I have worked all over San Antonio and tried many different Mexican restaurants and drive thru’s. There’s a term I use to describe Mexican food, based on its quality and how it’s prepared, and that term I use is the word ‘sloppy’. (NOT the term I’d use for Las Barcas). Lots of Mexican restaurants have drive thru’s, and often times the meal is placed ‘sloppily’ into the Togo containers, no care for its preparation. Sloppy beans, sloppy layout in the Togo container. At Las Barcas however, the food was laid out beautifully in the container, and was clearly put together with love. It was a meal you could drive all the way home with and fully enjoy once you get there, and feel like it was prepared politely just for you. Beyond the great service and preparation, it tastes incredible. The steak fajita meat seems quality, not gross cheap meat. I got the beef fajita burrito con queso. Even the inside of the burrito was not ‘sloppy’. It was clearly made to order and I could not be happier. There was legitimate care put into the $20 I spent, and they’ve won me as repeat customer. Please don’t sleep on this place. Give them your business if you haven’t already! They’re sweet on the phone, they’re sweet in person! Go there!"

"I've been seeing the birria taco all over social media and really wanted to see what all the fuss is about. So I did a search in East Nashville and found this cozy, hole-in-the-wall restaurant and decided to give them a try. When I showed up today, the parking lot was packed and the restaurant full (I got mine to go . I was immediately greeted by a very friendly gentleman and my order was taken within minutes. I was then given my hot, out of the fryer tacos to go within 15 minutes. All of that was great. And as I stood by the door waiting for my food, I observed other diners in the establishment. They were all very happy and their tables were full of all different types of entrees, including many birria tacos. Obviously, folks are a fan of these at this restaurant. However, I am not a fan of this particular taco. The cook here made mine the authentic way, I'm pretty darn sure. It was deep-fried, meaty cheesy, deliciousness, if you're into that kind of thing. For me, I felt like I had gone out all night long on a bender and had stopped at a greasy spoon Diner to pick up the greasiest menu item to ward off the impending hangover I knew I was going to have (no, I have not been hitting the bottle today. That's how these tacos tasted to me. And that liquid that came with the order that I dipped my tacos into was off the charts greasy...but good. I just couldn't get down with it after 2. I gave up on the third one and just ate the beef out of the inside. It was rather yummy, moist and flavorful, and while I'm not necessarily still hungry, I'm not necessarily full. I may have to eat a small salad to compensate for all that grease. Anyway, if you're into these types of tacos, do come here and try them. I am sure mine were made very well and will be what you're expecting. I'm going to come back here at a time they're less busy and order something a little healthier. Hey, at least I tried. Note: do not try to park in their parking lot if they're super crowded because it is a nightmare trying to get out. Just grab street parking."
