" Having visited Cantina Barba a few times, I feel it's important to mention that not every experience has been stellar. For instance, last time we ordered, our food took so long to arrive, which was frustrating. However, the tacos themselves were delicious. I still think the place has potential and hope they can streamline their service. Otherwise, the flavors are spot on! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a chaotic visit that didn’t meet expectations. The ambiance was nice, but the tacos were overpriced for the quality. I found the portion sizes lacking, and the staff seemed overwhelmed during our visit. I would consider giving it another try just on the strength of the location, but it may be a while before I do. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard so many good things about Cantina Barba, and it did not disappoint! The tacos were packed with flavor and served hot. Even the sides were delicious! I appreciated the quick service but felt the indoor seating was nothing special. Still, a great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was pretty good, but some items struck me as overpriced. The tacos were decent but lacked the pop of flavor I was hoping for. Service was friendly enough but could have been more efficient. Overall, a decent experience, but I may not rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love the late-night scene at Cantina Barba! The tacos keep me coming back, especially after a long day. Each taco is packed with flavor and served with a side of freshly made salsa that is to die for. The vibe is young and fresh, perfect for a night out with friends. Don't miss it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was average and did not live up to the hype. The tacos were fine, albeit a bit bland. The cocktails were decent, but the service was a bit slow. While I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food didn’t quite cut it. Disappointed and not sure I would return for the price point. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Cantina Barba is fantastic, especially with their outdoor seating area. I ordered a few different tacos to try, but while they were generally good, some lacked seasoning and didn’t stand out. Still, the service was quick, and I enjoyed my evening overall. " (*Curated Review*)
