    We had a reservation for 5:00; as soon as the restaurant opened. Service was slow and menu was limited. Food was good but not a wow factor. We have had better at this location in the past.

    Food was fine but not sure it was worth the time or money. It was a relatively quiet Saturday when we were there and our service was so slow that lunch took an hour and 45 minutes.

    Service was very good, but the server said that the guacamole would serve 8 people, but it was much more like 16 people which created an upcharge situation where we paid for much more than we needed.

    Great vibe. Excellent service and the chicken and shrimp fajitas were delicious. Margaritas were tasty but could have been a bit stronger for the price. Overall, great experience!

    Nice space for a dinner group, like that they were able to put our party in a more private area so we could all converse. Food took awhile but we ordered as a group so know that adds delays

    Due to the weather, we dined indoors -- exciting vibe; place hopping and all tables full up. Our server, Dan, was fun and his recommendations were spot on -- need to request him again! We had the tableside guacamole - DELISH !! Chicken empanadas (one to each person) -- very good with a slight kick (wink, wink). The best dish was the carnitas fried rice -- cannot wait to order it again! For a first visit, I could not be more pleased. Thanks to the chefs!

    Had an awesome dinner at Barrio. The food was incredible! Every dish was packed with flavor and really hit the spot. The atmosphere was just as good with a fun, lively vibe that made the whole experience even better. Our server was fantastic, super friendly and on top of everything without being overbearing. For the quality of the food and service, the value was absolutely there. Definitely recommend!
