"There aren’t many good Mexican restaurants in Miami, so hopefully the tuna tostadas, enchiladas verdes, and molcajete from this new Doral spot are as good as they sound." - mariana trabanino

We absolutely LOVED this place: food and drinks were AMAZING, seafood tostada was our favorite dish and tuna taquitos as an app were incredible. “Chef Margarita” I think it’s called my favorite drink which is a margarita with Aperol and tangerine juice. Fish tacos were also really good! We’ll be back soon ❤️

Margarita was the absolute best server I have had! She was extremely kind and the food was phenomenal! I have a severe allergy to soy and soybean oil and she ENSURED with the head chef that the food was okay for me to eat!

Delicious food, vibrant atmosphere! The fish tacos and the carnitas tacos were bursting with flavor…and the homemade guacamole? Omg… Amazing! Margarita was our server and she was fantastic—attentive, friendly, made great recommendations and the quick service made for a great lunch experience.

This place had FANTASTIC food. I visited Barra Vieja on a Saturday night with my family for a birthday celebration and it was the best choice. Starting off with the service, we had a server named Leonardo (I think he was also the bartender) and he was fantastic! Super friendly and attentive. Then we also spoke to the manager Jesus and he was very friendly as well. The vibes were great, they had music (not too loud so you can still talk and my grandma could hear me but it was still a good vibe) and a lively bar scene. The food was SOOOOO GOOD! Everything we ordered, the appetizers and main dishes (order the tacos! And Guac) were out of control. My entire family said the same thing, which never happens, someone always complains about something and this time they all left raving about this place. We are already planning to come back for happy hour. I’m shocked this place wasn’t busier because it checks all the boxes. Great vibes, food, drinks and service! I recommend this place 100%.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing spot, and I can confidently say that both the food and service exceeded our expectations. The dishes were absolutely delicious-each bite was full of flavor, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully prepared. What really made our experience stand out, however, was the exceptional service. Ricardo, who I believe is one of the managers, went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable visit, especially when it came to making our daughter feel special. His attention to detail and warm hospitality truly made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back for more wonderful meals and outstanding service!

This new place is beautifully decorated and quite nice. It has an extensive liquor and cocktail bar. I must mention that the service was excellent, our waitress Katherine was very nice. We ordered a shrimp soup that was good, but I wouldn't order it again, especially for the price. Then we had a jicama salad that is actually lettuce with hints of jicama, this dish disappointed us. Then we ordered arroz a la tumbada that was very good and the fish tacos are the best I've had in Miami. To finish we ordered a corn tres leches that I give a four out of five because it was delicious and different. I will give it another chance to this place.

I frequent Downtown Doral restaurants. Saw that this Mexican Food restaurant had just opened for business and decided to try it out. My wife and I walked in and we were promptly greeted and seated. Our server Carlos was great, the manager also came to our table to welcome us. Food and drinks were outstanding. Ambiance is nice. We will definitely return.

This new spot recently opened up in Downtown Doral. It is very lit up, big open space. From the moment O walked in, the host was very courteous and friendly. The place was not so full as it was lunch time but people started to slowly trickle in. The waiter was very attentive and when i asked for his recommendation, he honestly gave me his opinion and was very helpful. I ended up ordering the Birria Bowl which was pretty big size for a lunch portion. As I started eating, the GM came over and asked how everything was going and if i was satisfied with the meal. While I waited, I ordered chips and salsa which, you can't go wrong with. Definitely recommend trying g it out.

The BEST Mexican restaurant in Doral. The space is ample and bright, beautifully decorated with modern touches that will make you feel you're at one the most posh restaurants in Mexico. It's spotless clean and well organized throughout, including the restrooms. The food is innovative and absolutely delicious. The happy hour and specialty cocktails are perfectly balanced and super tasty. The staff is the best in the business; incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Apolinar, the bar mixologist, and Jorge, our server, are among the best hospitality staff we've ever met, and the manager, Christian, is absolutely amazing; he made us feel at home, and had the perfect selection options for food and drinks. They have live music that is truly lively. This place is simply amazing. I highly recommend it, and will be back every chance I get!

Fairly new spot across from Doral Yards. Nice decor spacious with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Christian Torres, the General Manager took his time to explain the menu and was very welcoming. Food and drinks were great. He recommended the Molcajete which was shareable and very tasty with steak, veggies and grilled cactus. A must try!

So this is what the server politely told us about the Restaurant, it specializes in seafood and coastal mexican cuisine; the decoration gives you a beachy vive and it is nice, breezy and spacious, although the name Barra vieja doesn't match the atmosphere, it does have a big bar at the entrance you notice right away. Our waiter was nice and attentive, the beer was cold, we ordered a Guacamole and Chips to start, it was good...but then the entrees... i ordered for my daughter the Chicken tacos, they came early and were not as pictured as the Kids Menu, it was only 2 plain tortillas with chicken on top and a piece of lemon...i was puzzled and went over the menu again to see if my thoughts my be wrong, yes..maybe the got confused and got the regular tacos...the kids tacos come with cream and queso on top. We has the Enchiladas Verdes, i have to say the food is good but fails to deliver so much more, they were only two tiny enchiladas and being a Miami foodie i am accustomed to having at least a little garnish on the side, a little rice and refried beans never hurtes anyone, even though it is only for presentation. This is not a cheap nor a very expensive restaurant, but at the time of comparing apples to apples, this place fails to satisfy the needs. Although food i feel this is a one time thing restaurant.

Very good service and the surroundings are super nice!! I ate some nachos, the guac is fire, and the fideo seco con pulpo is super good with a little hint of spicy.

Enjoyed this place on a Saturday night out with wife. Grabbed two Chef Margaritas which were excellent and enjoyed the guac/chips. Had Elote, Pulpo and rib eye tacos and was sufficiently satisfied with portion size and taste. Cool ambiance as well with good music playing in background. Manager stopped by to visit table as well which is always a nice touch.

The place is very well decorated and worth the check out. Ordered a few margaritas and they were on point. Waiter was very friendly and helpful when it came to recommendations. The food itself was great only down was it was a bit cold, especially anything that was fried. Overall would recommended and will go back myself!

It's a really high quality Mexican restaurant but ridiculously expensive. The happy hour is pretty good but is from 4-6pm Monday through Friday. Not sure it will survive with the competition in downtown Doral unless it extends its happy hour to 7pm and adjusts its prices.

Wow, Wow, and double Wow. We went there last night for the opening. You would never know that the restaurant just opened. To begin, the interior is beautiful and the little nature reserve in the center was perfect for the room. We were greeted by Gerardo (sp?) who came by frequently during our meal. The margaritas were great. We had a tostada with tuna that was fresh, flavorful, and a bit spicy and the excellent guacamole. I had the pulpo tacos which were terrific. I also ordered the fish tacos which were good but I ordered too much food and took most of it home. I also had what may have been the best elote I've ever eaten. My wife had the suckling pig plate and loved it. We shared the elote tres leches which was a great closer. The service was excellent and both the owner and the manager came by our table to check on how we were doing. We live within walking distance and will be walking there often.
