Barra Ñ

cute spot with some nice potential vibes. we stopped by early on a saturday for a quick-ish dinner. i’m pretty big fan of tango sur and the convenience shop attached to it (i get ~50 empanadas for my bday party each year) and tango sur has excellent ambience and desserts. this place however was a bit off the mark for me: i was excited to eat the milanesa (my fav argentine dish) after having some excellent ones in buenos aires last october. sadly it wasn’t as good as i was expecting or that i’ve had before. also had to ask for lemon which seems pretty standard when ordering milanesa usually. too much chimichurri sauce for everything. the sad little salad (a chopped tomato with a few leaves of lettuce) didn’t add up to the $25 dollar milanesa. (it’s basically a breaded half of a chicken breast). the cocktails were just okay, also had to ask for one of the missing ingredients (i saw them open a new can of cherries once i asked, seems like they just didn’t want to bother the first time around). they also didn’t have a bunch of the empanadas (the sweet beef and the corn ones are the best ones they make and were missing from the menu but available on the other menu we had). and they also didn’t have the inka cola or other colas (also available on the menu). thought this was odd considering they had just opened for the day. the dessert which i always love at tango sur, was good but the flan was a bit discombobulated when i got it, but generally tasted fine. the one at barra ñ randomly has strawberry syrup and powdered sugar (unnecessary), which is different than the one i typically get at tango sur. i’d love to say i’d come back, but the pricing is just a little out of control for the food provided. and although i LOVE bad bunny, i think the blasting of the music inside the small restaurant at 5:45p is a little ridiculous. made it harder to have a convo at the table.

Overall it’s fine. Music was loud, so a little hard to have a conversation while eating. Service was decent. Food was just ok, definitely overpriced. Probably best to stick to the steaks for the mains, which is their specialty I believe. The steak sandwich (lomito) was fine. Fries are fine. The milanesa was just ok—didn’t have enough seasoning. Drinks can vary, and have specific descriptions, but they are not all made how the menu says, like ice and garnishes. El chato was tasty, but the Buenos Aires de Noche was missing something. Empanadas are fantastic BUT they were out of a bunch of them and they just opened for the evening, which was unfortunate. Desserts are solid, including the flan, alfajores, mil hojas, and the vainilla y coco pastel. I recommend saving room for dessert!

Cozy bar with great staff. We asked for the food to come out as it was ready but instead all the food came out at once, appetizers and steaks all together. The drinks were great and tasty. There are mosquitos outside at night and no candles or fans to blow them away. Unfortunately, when we got home we all had a stomachache, one of my friend felt really nauseous. Would I go back? Maybe, but will bring mosquito repellent and ask the cook to check the meat before ordering.

Very strongly seasoned steaks and not as tender, perhaps it was overcooked. Loved the fresh tomato salad with chimichurri sauce. The 6 empanadas of mixed flavors is definitely something I’d go for again. Also liked the eggplant escabeche though it can be refined a bit. The place is very dark and I don’t like the idea of not seeing my food clearly. But if your looking for a place with a good bar and music, this would do. I rated it 3 because of the price point.

Had an amazing night with the best group of people. Danced until I couldn’t feel my thighs. Had the opportunity to watch dance 🕺 and vibe with Dj ROHO and Dj Slinky. They were mixing some awesome music 🎶 had delicious drinks that were super refreshing. I didn’t expect the horchata to be so strong 💪🏽🤓 the empanadas were also loaded with deliciousness. I highly recommend to stop by and check this place out.

Love this place but this last time I was there, brought some friends from Long Beach and was expecting them to experience the same incredible vibes with live DJ that they usually have on a Saturday night but this particular night there was no live music or DJ. Wasn't the same experience but the food was amazing. The flan is one of the best I have ever had. (Pictured)

Overpriced and underwhelming. Bad experience overall. We made a reservation and mentioned it was a birthday and they didn't even acknowledge it. The steak was half the size that they had pictured on OpenTable then the steak had 0 flavor. I don't mind paying for steak but this was bad and I will never be back.

The drinks and empanadas that’s all you ever need! I will have to come back before the kitchen closes bc I wasn’t able to order a meal 😅 but I loved my caipirinha 🥂
