Brb - Barriles Restobar

We traveled from Santa Barbara down to Downey just to try this restaurant. I was not disappointed the food was delicious! I follow them on Instagram and their food looked so good I said I must try. I had the carnitas tacos, the flavors were spot on, even the salsa was very tasty although I would have liked it a little hotter. My friend had the chilaquiles burger it looked really yummy, she said it was and it was very filling. As appetizers we had aguachile, the flavors were good and the heat was perfect although I would of liked maybe 2-3 more shrimp in there for the price. And last but not least what I was waiting to munch on since I first saw their pictures on Instagram is their esquites wih hot cheetos. They were to die for. I am a HUGE corn lover so I'm picky with my corn, but these were perfection. I will definitely go back I couldn't try any of their yummy looking drinks because I was driving but I will surely come back to try them and maybe stay for their social night.

Good food and great drinks! I had the smoked old fashioned and it was delicious. The service is not really good meaning they take forever to attend you and if you want another round well its another 15 minutes. They did however apologize for the delay. The upstairs is awesome really great. Nice dance floor and great drinks. Bartenders are fast. I wish they had more music variety. They only play Spanish music. I wish they had top 40, hip hop, house anything really. Will not go back because I don’t like Spanish music. But if they have a night with different music then I will go back.

Cool little spot that I never heard off till I was invited for a bday. Venue - Nice open restaurant with lots of sitting, good size bar, and a cool rooftop for a night of dancing. Parking - Lots of paid parking lots, other than that limited street parking. Food - Food has a different than usual taste so its not bad with good flavors, and lots of interesting dishes available. Prices - A lil over the avg price for the kind of place. Service - Wasn't too bad but can be stepped up a bit. Rooftop - Place can get busy with lines to get in and fee on weekends, a bit ghetto having to get disposable clear plastic cups, but other than that music is chill, good music, and chill crowd.
