   Thought we would try this place after a show at the Merchandise Mart. It was offensively expensive, and we dine out all the time. Had 1 drink because they were already made and left. Went to another place in neighborhood and had a great meal. This restaurant's prices were obnoxious, do not recommend!

   Very loud club music distracted from food and great service. Please turn it down for the diners.

   My waitress was very sweet! I think its a bit pricey, $19 for 3 tacos, ridiculous. But I did love the Nachos, I will be back for those soon. The drinks were okay and $16. My friend and I felt it was not worth it for that price.

    Came to Barrio before attending a concert at the House of Blues. Delicious food and great service. Only negative was that it was pretty cold inside at the tables near the bar. Overall: great experience 🪩

    The food was great, and the service was even better. From the start, we ordered, cocktails and margaritas. I got a Mezcal margarita which was crafted beautifully and offered a nice, sweet yet smoky flavor to it. Done we moved over to a margarita picture which was a little bit more ice forward but the creation altogether was phenomenal for the food. I got a burrito bowl with the shrimp, which was fairly good, but I wish I had gotten something else on the menu as I didn’t feel, there was enough “WOW” factor. I would need to go there again and perhaps try a new dish. The person I was with orange is a short rib, which did have that “WOW” factor.

    Everything we ate was delicious. Staff was friendly and efficient. Cocktails need more work and more alcohol (all 3 tequilas in the tequila flight tasted the same, except for garnishes and they were bland). And please replace the cheap looking furniture in the Casita room and try to make it match the rest of the restaurant's cool ambiance. We will definitely come back

    It was my boyfriend’s 30th birthday. I brought him here to try something new. Previously, I’ve eaten here, but he hasn’t. When I ate here, it was several years ago and still, this place hasn’t changed. He was very impressed with the food, service and ambiance. Our server, Shaun, was excellent! So accommodating and personable. Thank you!

    I did not enjoy the food sadly, everything sounds amazing but fell short. Fajitas were over cooked and beyond charred. Guac was just blahh and while the seasonal toppings should have made up for the average base they got lost in the sauce. Cucumber jalapeño marg wasn’t spicy but refreshing. Server was kind and busters were on top of their game. Might try again next year when patio is open.

    Food was good, but we were disappointed about the menu, first of all, it was offensive that the chef says they are trying to keep the Mexican flavors with “ a touch of sophistication”, which implies that Mexicans are not sophisticated. The taco plate includes 3 tacos, but they will not let you choose different taco styles and you have to choose only 1 type of taco. They also do not include beans in the platter, which we thought was weird for a Mexican restaurant. For these reasons I will not return.

    I had guacamole as an appetizer and tacos for my main course. Portions were small relative to the price, and the meat and guacamole wasn't that flavorful. In addition, the menu was pretty inflexible; mixing different types of tacos was prohibited. I would come again for a happy hour (the ambience was great) but not for a full meal.

    A busy night seemed to take its toll on both the bar and the kitchen. My waiter apologized to me and surrounding tables multiple times about how slow things were to come out. I finally got my cocktail after my entree. Thankfully the waiter comped the drink. I had ordered the duck carnitas then was informed they were out of it. The waiter's suggestion of quesabirria was quite disappointing.

    Brunch was nice and the service was good. However, I believe management was changed! I remember going to Barrio for brunch and there’d be a DJ and everyone was having an fun and amazing time. It was so fun, you had to book at-least a week in advance to get a spot! Also the brunch menu used to be different as well, and I was hoping to see that menu. With all the changes, I still enjoyed myself but the experience was completely different.

    Our waitress, Daniela, was awesome. The menu was a bit limited. Guac was very good. The pop music was way too loud. I understand there may be some limits on mixing up the tacos but if I order three tacos I want to be able to choose three different tacos and in fact I can only eat two. The crowd was very young but good for them!

    Our party of five shared several plates and found all to be delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. Hostess readily agreed to move our party from a table in the middle of the room to a booth, which greatly aided our conversation. We found the prices to be very reasonable for the location in downtown Chicago. Fun, dynamic atmosphere. This was our first visit and we will definitely return.
