“ It's a small Non liquor bar but it's way more than just beer. From the different set-ups to the food menu this place is a gem. I visited during the week and on my way home. Had Tacos because it was a Tuesday . Two dollar tacos had 4 and I left in a way better mood than when I walked in. Dr. appointments suck but necessary. I received my food rather quick, had the "El Set-up" before I finished it I had my tacos which combined perfectly with the avocado and a Chile toriado. Plenty of salsa to too the tacos with and napkins to clean up the mess around my face as I enjoyed the great meal. What really takes me to this place is the beef jerky but as soon as I walk in I get reminded of what I've missed. Hope you guys back your way to the little big "El Barril". ”
“ Honestly they have the best Asada tacos in El Paso!! Everything that I have ordered has been super delicious!! Today was the first day that I had breakfast here and I’m telling you this place never fails!! Chilaquiles were on point!! ”
“ My favorite place to eat tacos. Everything is delicious. Great service ”
“ This place is definitely for those who want a chill vibe. Want to catch up with a long friend and not have to shout because a DJ is playing their music super loud? Gotta come here. Want bar food with a twist? Gotta come here. Hungover? Gotta come here. Highly recommend the Murica burger. They prepare their beef fresh and you can taste the quality. For those who are hesitant about checking this place all I got to say is “YOU MUST!” ”
“ Excellent place to eat some of the best tacos I had asada and tripitas and this place has some amazing fresh food! I definitely will be a repeat customer! Excellent customer service veteran owned business as well! Great prices and deals! The bartender Jackie was outstanding! Thank you El Barril! ”
“ I can't rate the food; because I didn't eat. It definitely looked good though. They have tacos; tripitas, pastor, sirloin. Their clamatos are great 6 something for one that they leave space so you could add your beer choice as you drink it. 9 something for the cup you see filled all the way to the top. Add ons are extra and reasonably priced, cacahuates japoneses, or Japanese nuts, shrimp, beef jerky spicy or mild really good. Cucumber, and ETC. GOOD selection of beers bottled and they even have alcoholic seltzers for the new generation, White Claws& Topo Chicos. Beers under 5 WOW. I'm not gonna tell you the special on Saturday because the beer will probably finish us being in El Paso and all.COUGH COUGH Daily Specials!! ”
“ I’ve searched everywhere for the best burger in El Paso, and I can safely say that I have now found it. Everything Fernando makes at El Barril is packed with flavor and uniquely delicious, but his Cowboy Burger is something extra special. If you can take the heat, order the BBQ sauce spicy and wait for your tastebuds to experience an intense burst of smoky fire. The caramelized onions were cooked perfectly and the bacon...just, wow. Look no further, this is THE spot for burgers. ”
“ This place is too cold for me other than that everything is perfect ”
