Barra Vieja

“Barra Vieja Mexican restaurant in downtown Doral, FL is an excellent restaurant. Our server Margarita was very friendly, welcoming, and really knew the menu well. She gave great recommendations and made the experience even better. The food tasted fresh, and everything was well prepared. The sauces on the side were very good, especially the spicy one. Usually restaurants say something is spicy, but it hardly has any flavor, but this one truly did. Highly recommend this place. Absolutely delicious.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. Every dish felt thoughtfully made and beautifully presented. What truly made the experience stand out, though, was the waiter, Rey. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations and making us feel genuinely welcome. His positive attitude added so much to the meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Great Lively Atmosphere! The DJ was on point with every track! Very hard to talk to people at the table though. Service was wonderful and very accommodating! The chorizo queso and carne asada are musts. Water was dripping on tables and people from the vents above but thankful they had other tables to move us to!”

“Extremely disappointing. I made the unfortunate mistake of choosing this restaurant to spend my Valentine's Day with my wife. I only got to try the guacamole and the steak tacos because the rest of the food never came (even after multiple inquiries). After an hour waiting and not even getting a water refill we had to call it and asked for the check for what we were able to consume and called it a night. The gentleman in the table next to us was sitting quietly watching his companion finish her meal, because his hadn't arrived either. The irony is that they were seated a while after us. I believe refilling a water glass and serving the people at a table at the same time are basics of good restaurant service and I didn't see anything that would amount to that tonight. The waiter didn't even make an attempt to get us to stay around and the apology was insincere. Truly a waste of a special night for us. I wish I'd seen the prior reviews from a couple months back earlier which mention similar experiences of long waits, bad service, and ruined special occasions.”

“If you are thinking of going, don’t. Terrible and slow service. We arrived for lunch to an almost empty restaurant. We ordered drinks that, while good, took almost twenty minutes to arrive. The appetizers arrived before the drinks. The guacamole and chicharrones were good, and the guac was freshly made. The drinks finally arrived and they were on point as well. The shared special arrived and it was well prepared and good. There was no sign of our hamburger after we were done with the special. The burger for our friend finally arrived, and she had to eat alone. When we tried to address the situation with the server, she jokingly and condescendingly dismissed our concern and sarcastically pointed out that we were hungry and should order another hamburger. We asked for the bill, and even though an 18% service charge is already included, both the system and the server asked for additional tipping.”
