Arriba Barriba! Tequila Tuesday Elite Event

I’m a slacker. I JUST now got around to writing this review. Bad, bad Elite!
Barriba was awesome and welcomed us all in. We had the upstairs, private dining area and patio, and it was fantastic! I was greeted with a name tag and a margarita setup. As I’m unable to be regular, I started with the cantaloupe jalapeño margarita. It blew my mind! Sweet with a decent kick of spice at the end, and all around refreshing. They also had a tequila sampling (shooting?) table set up next to the buffet.
Barriba gave out door prizes, such as tshirts or gift cards, fed us some rather delicious brisket, and showed us an awesome time! There was also the coolest photo booth that I can’t remember the name of, and it kind of made my night!

This was a great week for me and my friend, so we were both excited about this event after the previous great one we attended at the theater downtown as well.
I had came earlier in the day to make sure where we would park, so as soon as we arrived, it seemed as though GOD had cleared a parking space right in front, so it was easy to just walk right in.
As soon as we opened the doors, the place smelled great, already impressed with atmosphere, we were directed to head up stairs for the event by the polite staff.
My friend and I had a great time, met some very nice people and as always greeted by Gloria C. is a great welcoming. Everything from the table gifts, to the food and drinks were excellent, the staff was very professional and polite.
Definately will be returning here for a visit. The atmosphere and décor is great.
THANK Unilocal and Arriba…

Such a fun event!
Everything about it was great-​the private party room up top, the table settings, food spread, the company, our hosts for the evening, photo booth, I could keep on going. And I love how it coincides with Downtown Tuesday!
All of the staff at the event were super friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly. It was neat to hear from the owners and managers, the history of the building and everything as well. Some great prizes and swag were handed out and I’m in love w/​my new koozie and shot glass!
Thanks guys!!!

I had never heard of this place until this event. I am so glad I decided to attend. The margaritas were amazing as was the bbq.
The management was so happy to have us there. They all went out of their way to talk to the Unilocalers and make sure we were all being taken care of.
I took a peak at their full menu and saw that not only do they have bbq, tex mex and margaritas but a whole list of the classic cocktails and a decent list of craft beers. I will definitely be back to Arriba to check all of that out!
As aleways Glo put together a complete 5 star event. Thank you Glo and Arriba for such a great evening.

Hats off to Gloria, the queen of five star events and to Barriba Cantina!!!
The venue is absolutely wonderful. They put us upstairs in the Private event area. Nice spacious indoor area and the patio area is fantastic. This would be a fantastic place for an event.
Barriba Cantina offered up a nice variety of items from their menu for us to try. The food was very tasty. What was amazing was how well we were treated. They gave us lots of attention and love going out if their way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves.
Z Tequila was wonderful, the tequila itself and the information that was provided on all the care they put into making a quality product.
Another wonderful elite event that though gone will not be forgotten.

This was a great elite event! Here’s why:
The food was AMAZING and there was plenty of it. My guest and I enjoyed the beer and wine offered alongside the tequila (since we don’t drink it!). The staff were really excellent, so I think I’ll return as a regular customer soon.
As a new San Antonian (?), I was glad to meet some Unilocalers, and I was introduced to a new restaurant to feast in.
Overall, super time!

WOW, the staff at Barriba really knows how to treat Elites! They pulled out all the stops from awesome wait staff to the food buffet!
I am happy County Line took over the building and brought life back into it. The décor downstairs is funky and colorful and the party room has a nice patio overlooking the river. They will be my #1 recommendation to people looking for a party room.
The food was yummy! Pretty sure we were suppose to choose Mexican or BBQ but I did a protein sampler plate with potato salad, black beans and rice. I appreciated that they had black beans and not refried beans. My only «issue» was that the queso was spicy. I know, I know … I’m the only Hispanic in San Antonio that doesn’t like spicy.
Gloria knows how to make a party HOT! From TapSnap giving out free pics to tequila sampling to assigned seating ;). Thanks for all you do!
I WILL be back Barriba, oh yes I WILL be back!

Barriba Cantina sure knows how to make Unilocalers happy! The management and staff were beyond friendly and just delighted to be there. They really made you feel welcomed!
The offered a number of boozy drinks to choose from. The Cantaloupe jalapeño margaritas was so refreshing and basically made my night right from the get go. Z Tequila provided a tasting of their wonderful product and gave valuable information. The TapSnap photoboth was fancy and so much fun! And the food spread was way generous! A buffet of yummy Tex Mex and BBQ was a great tasty treat. Glo and Barriba really put on an amazing evening!
