Reviews for BARQUILA TAPAS& COCKTAIL LOUNGE in Mamaroneck, NY

Strangest experience dining out. We walked in and were greeted by a man in regular clothes ( plaid shirt and jeans) whom was... seated at the bar along with a waiter in uniform at the host stand right next to the bar. The waiter asked if we hadreservations to which we replied yes and gave our name. The man in regular clothes introduced himself as “one of the owners”and let us know about a special they had going on for “industry night” that night only which if you ordered an alcoholicdrink from a specific menu those wouldn’t be charged to your bill. I asked the man if he was being serious to which he repliedyes so we ordered a drink each. Around halfway through our meal he came by to check on us and asked if we liked the drinks towhich we replied yes. During that time he told us we could order as much as we want from that specific menu and that weweren’t limited to 1 drink. We only ordered 1 per person and then 1 drink per person from the regular menu as we still wantedto support a small business. However when the bill came the “free” drinks were on the bill at full price. I am not sure whyhe would lie straight to our faces for no reason other than to make more money off our bill. We both wouldn’t have orderedthose drinks and instead ordered something we actually liked had we known we were going to pay full price anyway. Got a steakcovered in gold we didn’t enjoy my fiancé cooks for a living and said it seemed boiled. Tacos were ok kind of cold. Theappetizers were the best part of that says anything. We absolutely did not appreciate being lied to and hope this does nothappen to any other customer and would not recommend this to anyone else nor will we be returning. Read more

What a fantastic place - good vibe reminds me of a place in Miami! We went and celebrated my daughter's 21st birthday with 21... people - all age ranges - from 6 to 80! We had a blast. Service was impeccable and food was fantastic. They really went aboveand beyond to make it a perfect celebration. They played music and we all danced. I would highly recommend this place! Thebartenders are spot on with their drinks and it is a fun atmosphere - check it out!!! Read more

I came here with a few friends the other night. The restaurant was absolutely empty, it was around 7PM. There were two others... sitting at the bar. We figured it was quiet because it was 1) a Tuesday evening and 2) miserable weather. Boy were we wrong. Itwas dead because the service is absolutely horrendous. The server was too busy laughing with her colleagues and looking at herphone than to pay attention to us. My one friend is vegan and had many questions about the menu and the server knew absolutelynothing. She kept going to the back to ask questions. Water refills were non existent. She was too busy with her colleagues andphone, as I mentioned previously. My two friends cocktails were empty and she took forever to ask if they wanted a second. Thekicker - my vegan friend ordered an impossible meat taco and it comes without the meat. It was just ridiculous. And then we wereforced to tip. They add gratuity for 4 people? I never heard of such a thing. It was one of the worst dining experiences I'veever had and we will ensure to tell all the others in the Mamaroneck area to avoid this restaurant. Forced to tip? I need torepeat that part for readers as I still can't wrap my head around it. They also had a section for "additional tip". A joke, anabsolute joke. Read more

Went in for some drinks with my friend, we were greeted promptly at the door and given a cocktail menu. The cocktails are... absolutely delicious, you will not be disappointed. The bartenders were very attentive and super friendly. There was a DJ and abday party going on which made the environment feel lively and energetic. Will def be back! Read more

Absolutely amazing! Not only is their decor inviting and summery like Miami, their drinks are phenomenal. From smoking espresso... martinis in a London phone booth to chef special blackberry vodka drinks all the way to their tacos, guac, and sliders- amazing!Absolutely no complaints. Perfect for a brunch, cute date, or bridal shower! Read more

The place is very nice, staff is friendly. The only issue was they made us wait over two hours to seat us at a table, and the... waitress was kind of rushing us. Aside from that the ambience was amazing, the DJ was great! The food was tasty and the drinkswere delicious. Read more
