  I think this place is a great restaurant to go to if you like sheep Barbacoa.  Went there with a friend and had a pound of Barbacoa and it was more than enough.  Make sure also to order their broth, it was also delicious.  Will definitely come here again to their Barbacoa.

  In town on a taco crawl with some local friends of mine.  They had suggested this place because of the quality and reputation of the food.  Simple, we had a pound of barbacoa and tortillas.  Combined with the salsa, cilantro, and onions the taco was tender and very flavorful.  Based upon the food, I have nothing but the highest praise here.
  
  ALTHOUGH!!!!!!... I absolutely love jugo de zanahoria (carrot juice) and when I see it on a menu at a Mexican restaurant, I usually jump all over it as it pairs well.  Also, because it takes quite a few carrots to yield a glass of jugo, I appreciate any place that commits to putting it on their menu.  THAT SAID, if you're going to "stretch" your jugo out with ORANGE JUICE to fill the glass and try to pass it off as jugo de zanahoria, I'm going to call you out on it every time!  
  
  The food was great, but trying to get away with something and sneak it by me just makes me feel disrespected and makes me wonder what other corners they're cutting.

  Great service! The ladies make you feel at home. My 3 stars is purely based on the pansita with salsa roja. It was very bland and the chili tasted a bit raw. Maybe its the Hidalgo style? They had 2 options green or red salsa.
  
  The carne masisa is great!! Very juicy and flavorful.
  I will have to come back and try other items on the menu, maybe ill add more stars.

  I discovered La Barbacha after watching an episode of chef's table where they featured a tacoria in Philadephia that specialized in lamb barbacoa.  I thought I'd google to see if there was a comparable place and La Barbacha popped in my search. It was a hot summer afternoon when we came to the restaurant, the server were very accommodating and asked if it was our first time. It took us a while what to order, aside from the barbacoa. We ended up getting 3 orders of the gorditas, a jamaica, and a horchata. The food was delicious and came in a lot of serving alongside a serving of soup. We were stuffed after our meal. I definitely plan on coming back and recommending this place to my friends for some delicious barbacoa! The salsa they make is amazing and definitely adds on to the food.

  Hidden gem in LA. Gosh I can't wait to describe to you how epic my experience was. Let's get started:
  Atmosphere: not a lot of seating but such a fun Mexican vibe.
  Customer service: attentive  and sweet.
  Food: we ordered some cafe de olla, barbacoa and some quesadillas. It came with consume, soup, rice, beans, two types of salsa, and chips. I felt I was in Mexico City. The tortilla was handmade. Every item was exceptional except for the salsa that was average. I wish they made their salsa more appetizing than plain.
  Cost: it's affordable.
  Definitely coming back. If the owners have a chance to read my review, I hope they make their green salsa instead of it being plain raw tomatillo salsa mixing it with avocado and the red salsa to have a mix of tomatillo and maybe some tomato with cilantro to make it more Sabroso :).
