How can you not like this place?! The variety, creativity of creating your own tacos, the margaritas, chips and queso...this place is a win!!! The atmosphere is pretty fun, plenty of tv's to watch the games, close to parking and walking distance to other local establishments.

Food was amazing, we started with the 3 dip appetizer, two drinks and then We ordered two signature tacos as well as a speciality Taco. The Service was awesome especially for two first time guests. Building was nice, comfortable, indoor & outdoor seating. This is a cool spot.

"Las penas con pan son menos." Roughly translated it means pains are relieved with food. If you are nourished, every other problem looks a bit smaller. Latin people say it to offer relief but also empowerment. When someone is sad and needs to be lifted up, you say ¡a comer que las penas con pan son menos!, meaning "let's eat because food will take your pain away!" Barrio is the Happiest Place on Earth. Sorry Disney. It's got epic margaritas with interesting variations. It also Has a fascinating process for ordering tacos. You fill out a very thorough form for each taco kind of as you would in a sushi restaurant for ordering sushi but it's more elaborate and thorough. I'm a regular three taco person but here I'd scale back to two tacos because by the time you load in all the fixings, it's huge. Warning, I would not go here for a snack, but I would go here if I were starving, or if it were my last meal before an asteroid struck earth since you will be epically full when you leave.

I'm not a huge taco purist... tacos mostly taste the same at most of these restaurants to me... but if I had to get Tacos from somewhere Barrio would be the place with the most options I think... a bunch of sauces, a bunch of different margarita flavors... I don't know how fresh the drinks are but the food seems pretty fresh. Your food comes out very quick too (as it should). I thought the prices were pretty cheap too.

We visited with family and tried a host of different tacos. Out of the the three tacos I tried, one had jalapeno lime shrimp, one with scallop (seafood of the day), and the third with pulled chicken. My favorite was the shrimp, fresh and juicy and cooked just right. The chicken was the second, texture was great but could've been more spicy. My least favorite were the scallops because they had a slight fishy smell to them. Service was friendly and quick. We sat on the second floor but it was quite dark. The bulb right above our table was out and with it being a cloudy day, you could barely see what you were eating. They got all the tacos out in a basket without any tags or labels so we had a really hard time figuring out what's what. They need a better system to bring the tacos to your table, one star off for mainly that.

Barrio has a social ambiance and is the perfect spot to hang out in the summer because its outdoor patio is located right in Albert El Fresco. I enjoy trying the limited time menu items, especially the quesos. (I wish they would bring back the mac and cheese one!) I love how customizable the menu options are because there is always something new to try. This time I ordered a mango margarita, birria queso, and a taco with the fish of the day and pineapple salsa. Everything was delicious!
