Very disappointed! It's literally all rice and a tiny bit of ground beef and beans. For $15 I would love some protein.

I visited Don Barriga for a weekday dinner with a friend. We arrived close to 9PM; the restaurant was pretty quiet since we were past the weeknight dinner rush. The employees brought over some complementary chips and salsa trio shortly after we sat. The green salsa was much better than others I've had; it tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. We ordered a few entrees to share: the Birria Tacos, Chicken Quesadilla, and Steak Fajitas. Everything arrived within less than 15 minutes. The Birria Tacos were average; the consommé was quite bland compared to others I've had. The Quesadilla was incredibly fresh and authentic. Instead of being served an average packaged tortilla, the outer layer was a thicker homemade corn dough. It held the filling very well unlike many thinner tortillas that easily rip. The Steak Fajitas were far better than the average. Instead of the typical thick steak strips, this steak was a thinner ribeye. It was also seasoned very well and held flavor even without adding toppings/condiments. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit here. The food was very good quality; the employees gave us friendly and consistent service. I can definitely see myself coming back to dine in the future.

Simple, no frills, clean, and unassuming. The Margs were fabulous with lots of tequila varieties I had the Herradura! Then ordered Chile rellenos with traditional beans, rice and flour tortillas all excellent! Wife had the carne asada tacos also very good! Great service! Kudos

We ordered takeout on a Sunday evening from here, which was very quick and packaged very nicely! We tried the pastor and birria tacos and the mazatlan salad. The tacos were pretty good, not the best I've had in the city, but solid. The shrimp in the mazatlan salad though were fantastic and came with a lime-vinegar dressing that I could drink. We would eat here again since it's closer to us than other spots but wouldn't be our preference for birria.

My coworker and I were excited to hear about Don Barriga opening near our work as our Mexican choices are rather slim in the area. We heard some good things about the food and decided to give it a try for lunch today.We got there just before 12pm and that was good because once we were seated in our booth, the relatively small restaurant filled up quickly. The four or five booths and the 4-top tables were filled and then people were constantly coming in to pick up their to-go orders. Don Barriga Mexican Grill has a very extensive menu and they have a separate menu (which is also online) for breakfast options although they don't open until 10am. All the choices looked good. My friend went with a chicken quesadilla and I had the Don Barriga Fajitas which comes with chicken, steak, and shrimp. I also got a side guacamole.Once seated, we were served chips with green and red sauces. The red was spicy! The green not as much. A glass bottle of cold water was also served which was needed for that red sauce. We needed a second bottle! The triangle chips were crunchy, not stale or over-salted, and we ate too many before our lunch came.My fajitas came out steaming hot on the skillet and had a lot of flavor and seasoning. They came with a small side of Mexican rice, four slices of avocado, and four flour tortillas. There was more than an abundance of food to fill up the tortillas. Even asking for a to-go container, the skillet was still too hot to the touch to handle and I had to create a potholder of napkins to pick it up to put in the container. The guacamole was excellent. Rice was nothing special. My friend liked her super-sized quesadilla but forgot to ask for it without sour cream which there was a lot of in and on it. It had a lot of chicken and lettuce and cheese. Cheese was the only topping my fajitas did not come with that I would have liked. My friend ate half and I took the other half home. She enjoyed it but was not ecstatic about her food. I really liked mine.Overall, very pleased with Don Barriga Mexican Grill. Our server was pleasant and helpful. If we were in the mood for Mexican again, this is a great choice. It is a little on the expensive side.$22 for the fajitas, $14 for the Quesadilla, $7 for the side of guacamole. $46.44 not including tip for lunch today.We hope Don Barriga Mexican Grill has a nice log life on Chestnut Street. Good Luck!

I can only speak to the food I received via Uber Eats, but for $15 I would really like some protein. This is supposed to be a ground beef burrito but it's all rice! The chips were quality as was the salsa, but unimpressed with the burrito. And I guess we'll try something else considering the reviews are so strong because I'm not impressed with this order at all.

Great authentic Mexican food. Service was quick & friendly & it is a great lunch stop. It is definitely much busier around lunchtime then dinner time. There's no bar & the inside is kind of small. Located right near UPenn & Jefferson. The food was so fresh & bursting with flavors.
