"Tiny portions of very subpar food for ridiculous prices. Shrimp tacos came in an order of 2 and each had ONE piece of shrimp with the tail still on in a tiny tortilla smeared with mashed potatoes, and no side, for $16. Everything was very under salted. Drinks were tasty but also very small and expensive. Chips (which tasted completely unsalted) and Guac was big enough to maybe be considered a side to an entree, not its own appetizer, and was $11!! We left very hungry and broke (dinner for 4, sharing chips and slasa&guac, cactus salad, each got 1 entree and 1 drink, shared 1 dessert) was $240. With so many great, authentic, Mexican spots around somerville/cambridge its hard to say I would recommend this place or justify the outrageous prices."

We ate on their patio, although they now have indoor seating. Great drinks, great food, great service. What more can you ask for? View menu

Amazing experience! Great food and very friendly staff/ service. One of few places that specializes in Mexican food (not Tex-Mex), you’ll find cactus and grasshopper on the menu. Superb drinks too!

Barra was truly amazing. It offered the best food I had in Boston, and some of the finest Mexican cuisine I've experienced outside of Mexico. The cocktail, mezcal, and sotol selection was thoughtfully curated, and the menu was both inventive and delicious. Be sure to try the Gringas tacos and the tetelas—everything was fantastic, but these two dishes really stood out. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and enhancing the chic atmosphere of the interior even in the terrace dining space. I can't wait to return. (Honestly, I hope they enjoyed us because we plan to become regulars!)
