    Great experience. Went here on recommendation from my supervisor and it did not disappoint. Josh was excellent, very attentive and timely service. Food was excellent. Nice touch with a little Pico in the ranch beans. Had the fish tacos and the fish was grilled perfectly and was able to build the taco myself. Nice touch. Classic margarita was excellent as well. Definitely will return when in town. Very vibrant atmosphere.

    Today we tried the cheeseburgers which were suggested to us by Marisol. They were excellent, and the hand cut fries were to die for. The service we received from Joshua today was out standing!!!!!

    Wow! Really good Mexican Food. They, definitely do it right at Barrera's. Staff was on their toes and kept making sure that we were taken care of. Meats were done just right and vegtables were kept nice and crispy. I highly recommend Barrera's.

    The best Mexican restaurant In The city of Cleburne, Texas. My wife and I, visited just about every Mexican restaurant in town. In the past Ten years. We finally found the best Mexican food in town.

    After reading all the positive reviews I was ready to try their food. It smelled amazing, but once I started eating, I was sorely disappointed, especially for what I paid. Do the cooks not have access to ANY kind of seasonings or produce? I don't like spicy, but some onion, cilantro, cumin, garlic, a little salt, some red pepper, even a deseeded jalapeno would have been nice. That was the most bland TexMex I have ever had. Taco Bell has better seasoned whatever it is? Their queso, guacamole, even their salsa, was awful. The majority of the food went in the trash. I won't be trying this place again. Shoutout to the great young man who took my order & actually got it right, which may have been the same one who carried my food to my car. You sir, are an asset to your job!

    We've been a few times and were just underwhelmed. The food is ok. The atmosphere is ok. I''m not sure what all the hype is about.

    Word of adviceโ€ฆ. Go into the restaurant. If you order online, keep in mind for whatever reason they do not provide salsa; even if you pay extra for chips. They want you to pay extra for salsa too. Food is ok but not worth the horrible customer service provided by Daniel Barrera. He was so rude when he told me I got exactly what I ordered. Why order and pay for chips without salsa. In the restaurant, they freely give you salsa.

    This place is great! Lotta bang for the buck! Beef fajitas for 14$ and its A LOT!

  • 5/5 Eric J. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good spot for non-chain Mexican food, white queso, chips & salsa, drinks, etc. Friendly staff. Fajitas were really good the last visit.

  • 4/5 Chrystal U. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful food. Service good despite a busy lunch rush. It was my special birthday lunch.

  • 5/5 Bonnie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good! Not over-kill with cilantro and jalapenos. Perfectly seasoned. The beef fajitas and charro frijoles were so good that I have gone back for them again! Nice staff and I will be bringing friends & family there.

  • 3/5 Charles H. 1 year ago on Google
    The fajitas came out warm not steaming. I could touch the plate. They did remake it fresh, but I was filled up with the sides of beans and rice. That was really good.

  • 5/5 Stacie R. 2 years ago on Google
    The food here is made with Love and is so delicious that you won't believe it. Great prices and even better people. Thank you for the good atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Lori L. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was amazing and the staff are so flnice and friendly Will definitely keep going back.

  • 4/5 Bryan W. 2 years ago on Google
    Salsa tasted great, had a nice kick. Chips taste like they are from a bag, nothing special. I got chicken quesidilla and it was OK. The guacamole was great though. I would come back and try a different dish.

  • 2/5 Michael 4 years ago on Google
    Took nearly 45 minutes to get our order and the food simply didn't taste good. My daughter sent her order back and they didn't charge us which was nice but I don't think I will return.

  • 5/5 Robert C. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Dave C. 11 months ago on Google
    Delicious quesadillas in Cleburne. Staff was great, but a little busy as it was very crowded. Margaritas are good too and I loved the Queso!

  • 1/5 Rodolfo and Kimberley V. 7 months ago on Google
    We doordashed an order and received no salsa with our chips. We called and were told you have to order separately. Thatโ€™s fine, we drive to the restaurant to BUY salsa, we didnโ€™t make a stink, we just went to buy it My husband was approached and yelled at by a woman and chastised in front of the restaurant. Who does she think she is???? HOW DARE she speak to a PAYING CUSTOMER in such a way! We will not be back, which is sad. My extended family and the Barrera family have been friends for 30+ years. Never expected that treatment in their restaurant

    Good food, great service, nice atmosphere and fair prices. Server Heather was awesome!

  • 3/5 eric p. 6 months ago on Google
    Shrimp on nachos tasted like chemicals. My boss warned me not to go. My wife and I felt a little upset stomach after. It's the coast. Have fresh shrimp not chemically treated shrimp. It's obvious. We will not try again.

  • 1/5 Dee U. 8 months ago on Google
    Food was ok, nothing spectacular. Portions are huge but quality could be better for the price paid. The tortillas looked and tasted mass produced, rather depressing. Service was unexpectedly lacking. For an off traffic time of day I would have thought we'd have better service - we were not directed to a table ("sit anywhere over there") no drink or chip or salsa refils were offered, and on paying it took forever to get our change back from cash payment. The atmosphere: the exterior could, at the very least, be ever so slightly inviting - it looks like a hardware store outside. Inside isn't much better. Sparse decor, barely changed from the restaurant that existed 20 years prior. Bathrooms at least were clean.

    If I could give this place negative stars I would do it 100% they for one messed up my order that I called in to go. I called them and they were immediately veryyyy rude without even hearing me out first. Then as my sister was eating the food (her food was not messed up) she found not one but two hairs in her fajitas so at that point I was very much over it. I told the lady that I would be coming up there and brining ALL of the food back to just get refund and she said okay. My sister and my friend went to go return the food and to get the money back. As soon as they got there they were immediately rude as soon as they walked in. They refused to give the money back and they also refused to remake the order as well. When my friend and sister got back I called them AGAIN and everyone that I spoke with was rude again. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place AT ALL. Spent $126 and didnโ€™t get the food or my money back either so they pretty much stole from us. Derek Barrera The owner is who I spoke with and the owner Derek also screamed in my mentally ills sisters face

    Fantastic food very small but simply menu. Been wanting to go here for a bit came in today and wow was it good. We both ordered the roach salad and let me tell ya there wasnโ€™t where the beef being asked they give you a generous portion of protein. Could use a bit more lettuce but that just a suggestion honestly. Personally my fajita salad was perfect wife got ground beef. For sure going to be my go to for a good salad.

  • 4/5 Chris J. 1 year ago on Google
    Unassuming tex-mex restaurant. Warm and friendly staff, very attentive. Quaint and not trying to be anything that they're not. What you see is what you get. Good conversation and great tasting food. Everything was perfectly seasoned from the Mexican rice to the beef enchiladas and the chicken fajita chile relleno. Great food, good prices

  • 3/5 Mary T. 1 year ago on Google
    I don't know what I expected, but the inside just didn't match a fajita eatery very few seating , bar very prominent when u walk in more like a sports bar feeling . Not like a family restaurant which I guess is what I expected ( I had children with me ) . And the food was ok good proportions not a big selection for children just ok you know like just OK

  • 1/5 dustin j. 1 year ago on Google
    Was seated and brought drinks and chips by the bar staff after 15mins of no one coming to check on us to place out we left whoulf not recommended

  • 4/5 Michael H. 11 months ago on Google
    Service was great. Food was okay. No real complaints, but average at best. Bar was putting out real drinks we enjoyed.

  • 5/5 John C. 1 year ago on Google
    5 stars doesn't do this place justice. Warmly greeted by all staff members, my server Josh very attentive. The food was larger than expected portions. The fajitas were spiced just right and served very quickly. I noticed other patrons were treated as family and addressed by name. A true gem to visit!

  • 5/5 Larry V. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm not usually one to review, but I must say Barerra's never disappoints! Tonight they were short cook, server, and wait staff. Even being short staffed and almost all tables full, our meal was served hot, fresh and very timely. Always the best, Lillian and Derrick. Thanks for your commitment to excellence..

  • 5/5 Laura B. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the carne asada tacos and oh my goodness they were so delicious! Our server Josh was also amazing. It's our first time here but we will definitely be back!

  • 1/5 Don G. 1 year ago on Google
    12/10/2022 5:30 PM. I just walked into the restaurant and acknowledged the wait to be seated sign. The restaurant is not busy at all. I waited a few minutes and never got acknowledged. Another group came in and the same thing happened. I went to the restroom and when I came back out I sat down at the bar and got the same result. I got up and left. This place was recommended by a friend which is sad for my 1st visit.

  • 5/5 Sarah K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food. Big portions. The shrimp is amazing. And you can tell the staff really cares; they are very sweet. Will definitely come again! Thank you!

  • 5/5 The B. 1 year ago on Google
    I've eaten with this family every since they had a little place in front of the old hospital. The food is still and always will be amazing. Great people and always enjoy myself. Thank you for not being like most of the places in Cleburne and actually valuing your customers.

    My favorite mexican place in Johnson County. You get a choice of white or yellow queso and both are great. the fajitas and quesadillas are both wonderful.

  • 5/5 Butch W. 3 years ago on Google
    We first discovered Barrera's great food and friendly staff when all restaurants were limited to takeout only. Even after driving home15 minutes, the food was still delicious. Now with limited table service food is terrific; hot and well prepared. Service is fast and friendly and they willl fix nearly anything you want, any way you want it! Best fajitas in Cleburne.

  • 5/5 Al W. 4 years ago on Google
    My favorite Mexican Restaurant in Cleburne. The queso is excellent, and you have the option of white or yellow queso. Tacos are good, but fajitas and quesadillas are best in town.

    Friendly place with really good Tex-Mex. I knew the food was going to be good as soon as the salsa arrived: nice and spicy but not too hot. Everything we ate was seasoned perfectly. Hope to return soon!
