The margaritas are very good. The chips I only go when Barrio is near another venue I'm attending and I feel like a margarita. I feel like it wouldn't take that much to take the food to the next level. Disappointing that we settle for this food.

It was a great atmosphere but i thought it was very overrated! The food seemed very expensive for small portions. If you are looking for an authentic Latin cuisine place, this is not it. This is definitely on the Americanized/ boujee side. I would recommend it for drinks and the guacamole but not if you want a full meal.

I had a great experience overall! Didn’t see really anything special for the table we reserved though, vs other tables that were first come first served.

Bar restaurant just two blocks from orchestra hall. Numerous small plate choices of upscale Mexican food. The chips and salsa comes with an array of three different salsas if varying spiciness. Chicken mole was good but not exceptional. Pork fish and chicken tacos were all good value but messy to eat by hand.
