Enjoyed National Margarita Day 2024 last Thursday at (where else?!?) Barcenas-Bay Area. Walked into a fun, party atmosphere. Everyone was clearly having a great time. Hub's was a frozen; mine, on the rocks. Well-done. Delicious queso flameado with roasted poblanos, fajita beef, and hot tortilla. Staff there is always courteous and efficient. We lucked out again with Beatriz (Betty). She really is the best and we always look forward to seeing her. Next time you visit Barcenas-Bay Area, ask for Beatriz' section. She'll treat you like a King or Queen! -- at Barcenas Mexican Restaurant.

I got the steak avocado delish! The rice wasn't my favorite, the queso was okay, they messed up my boyfriend's order and he had to get a new one which took a while. He loved the sopapillas

We came here on a Sunday evening and pretty much had the place to ourselves. There was more staff than patrons so we had pretty good service and everything was very clean. We ordered a house margarita ($5.99) and a Pina Colada ($8.50) and their chorizo nachos ($15.50). I did not see the drink prices listed on the menu so you need to ask if that is important to you. The drinks were okay. pretty standard. The nachos had a good amount of cheese and chorizo but with all that chorizo you really needed some avacado or guacamole to cut through the acidity. That would have really taken the nachos from just fine to really good. So I'd recommend ordering a small side of avacado/guac to go with them. They do have a happy hour M-Th 11-5 where they offer specials but again, they don't list what the specials are or pricing. If they did, I would be interested in checking out other items at their happy hour.Overall everything was okay but I would probably only come back for a happy hour or something.

First time at this location but it definitely won't be my last. This restaurant seems to be tucked away in a neighborhood and we accidentally came across it. The inside is actually a lot bigger than it looks on the outside. They have a great patio area that is shaded.The salsa is fresh with a little hint of heat, not too spicy. I'm not sure if the chips are homemade but they were thin & crunchy. We ordered a regular queso which was really good. They have quite a few queso variations and I want to try them all.I ordered the Enchiladas de Pollo and my wife ordered the Enchiladas Suizas. These enchiladas are overly stuffed with shredded ranch chicken. The Spanish sauce on my plate reminded me of a tomato caldo, I loved it. The sour cream & green sauce on the Suizas has a little tang to it and was also good.The rice tastes like it's cooked in a caldo juice just like my mom does. The refried beans were also good and nicely flavored.Everything we ordered was authentically Mexican so don't expect Tex-Mex meals.

Always a wonderful experience. They greet you very courteously and get you a table immediately. When you are seated your drink is served immediately and you are given a menu. All of their food is excellent and the salsa is really good. They never miss anything and will check on you to make sure you have plenty of chips and drinks. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and there are televisions in different areas.

First trip to Barcenas and my family will def be adding them to our rotation. Not only was the food and margarita amazing but the staff is hands down, as a whole, one of the friendliest in a restaurant in the whole area. Thank you for making me feel welcome, we will be back.

This fine establishment has been in operations for over 25 years and frankly for any Mexican Restaurant to have those bono fides means that they are meeting the needs of there customers consistently and effectively which is precisely what I found during my dining experience here .Firstly, let's talk about the ambience which iOS quite typical of most Mexican Restaurants...colloquial, eclectic and enormously roomy. There is no mistaking it for other than a comfortable ambience.Secondly the service (Christian) was expedient, courteous, knowledgeable about the bar and could describe the ingredients in any dish we discussed and in addition was quite spot on in his descriptions. Lastly, when not hustling tables (ours and others in his station) he was quite conversant about Mexican food and restaurants in and around the area...quite affable frankly.Thirdly, and this is always one of my test meals in Mexican restaurants (pulpo, menudo, albondigas and pozole are likewise test meals) and in the case of Barcenas the menudo was perfect. What was even more impressive was that it was late in the day Sunday and menudo in this case is served only on the weekends...bottom line was that I was happy they still gad some left and I will return for more...likely it'll be pozole.

This is our favorite place to come every timeWe are in the area. Their food is so flavorful and everyone is so attentive. It's hard to find a Mexican restaurant that is consistent. Barcenas does a great job!! They never disappoint. Tonight we ordered their nachos compuesto, tacos al carbon, and tex mex enchiladas. Everything was perfect. If you want super yummy Mexican food and to have attentive caring wait staff then this is the place to go. They care about their customers and make sure everything is to your liking. We do not have that where we live. So it is always so nice to come here.
