This seems like a place for individuals who want the city lifestyle without being in the city. The food was just ok. I understand fusion, but this is a different spin. Almost everything has some type of sauce that is a vinegar base all different types of vinegar but vinegar none the less. We ordered 5 items, and we only received 4. Each item came out about 15 minutes apart from each other, so over the course of an hour we got 4 small dishes that were extremely overpriced; $18 for two small tacos that were smaller than the palm of my hand is a lot of ridiculous. Just unsatisfied overall. I spent over $150 on two drinks and four small apps, left hungry and stopped at McDonald's to at least satisfy my hunger.

It was SO delicious! Our waiter was so great and very attentive. The manager was helpful and attentive as well. I haven’t been to Barrio in a a few years, because they didn’t have great vegan and gluten free options. NOW they do and they were AMAZING! I cannot wait to go back! It was my birthday and they were incredibly kind and gave me a birthday card and gift card, which I was not expecting. It was such an awesome gesture and I will go back for the food, yummy drinks and great service!!!

Margaritas were Super! We had Nachos and a kind of spanish ham for starters. Very good! Chicken and pork tacos were alright but a little dry. The drinks are great and the dishes are very interesting so we'll go back again.

Sat at the Chefs table. Got to watch the workings of the food prep. It was like watching "The Bear". Very entertaining and a great time interacting with the staff. all were engaging. We got to see future dishes we will want to try on our next visit. Our waitress was very helpful, and her recommendations were great. Awesome margheritas. Loved pork tacos. We will return
