This place was SO good, SO cheap, and had the most lovely people working there. What more could you ask for?
My boyfriend and I shared an order of lamb barbacoa, their specialty, as well as some al pastor and carne asada tacos. The meat was delicious and tender (with delicious broth!) and came with lots of garnishes and fresh tortillas.
I love to see and try authentic representations of global food, and if you do too, this place is worth driving a bit out of the way for. I would love to come back sometime and try everything on their menu. Highly recommend! -

In a word HUITLACOCHE! It's wonderful, if you haven't tried it, you should. It's hard to find so I was elated when I saw La Major Barbacoa served it. Yum yum yum!
The Green Pozole is just out of this world good. The chichiron on top is a terrific bonus.
I also cannot say enough about the staff. Just absolutely terrific people. Kind, inviting, and attentive. This is my go to spot for authentic Mexico City from now on! -

La Mejor Barbacoa is a Mexican Restaurant located just outside of Old Town Glendale. The specialty of the house is the Lamb Barbacoa (BBQ) but they also offer a Taco Plate, Cured Meat Platter, Pozole Verde (pork soup), Huaraches (open LONG flat corn cake tortillas with toppings), long Quesadillas (some squash blossom, corn smut), Menudo, Caldo de Rez (beef vegetable soup) and Many Mexican Desserts.
This is a casual restaurant. You seat yourself and someone runs a menu over and takes your order. This isn't a fancy place but it appears to be spotless. It looks like it might have been a banquet hall at one time.
I tried the Huitlacoche (corn smut) Quesadilla. I received a very long nicely grilled quesadilla stuffed with lots of earthy huitlacoche, melty mild white cheese and two types of corn. It was very tasty. The house made green sauce went really yummy with this quesadilla.
My husband got the Bisteck Huaraches. He received a very long sort of open tortilla like corn cake filled with refried beans, green sauce, crumbling cheese and super tasty caramelized steak. It was VERY GOOD!
Service was great!
Everything was delicious, portions were very large and everything was very reasonably priced.
Really really good! -

Pozole was different but good . Bad service. I order a drink Togo and I was waiting for ever like it seamed . I walked up and was like where's my drink . They must of forgot about my order and was starting it as I was talking to them . Then I look and was like your just about to start it and just Cancell my order . How can some one straight lie to you .
