    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!

    The happy hour food was excellent after several requests to get it. Some courses had to be asked for again and again. Waiters never to be found.

    All their drinks had minimal alcohol in them. One of the worst experiences for an after-work event. Will not return.

    Food was amazing, but most of all the care and attention to detail by our server Cortez was exemplary. Thank you for the lovely hospitality. Also like to mention that the hostess were kind and personable.

    It has been about three years since we have been back to barrio. I was afraid to come back as the last few times hadn't been that great. We had a reservation for Gibsons Italia but we were starving and this reservation was available earlier and we were craving Mexican . My husband and I split the chicken and steak fajitas and chips and salsa. Hubs got a mini taco w tuna on it as an appetizer & said it was INCREDIBLE! It came with a yummy ginger dipping sauce as well. Our fajitas were absolutely incredible and it seems like Barrio has upped their game with their chicken and steak! The chicken was absolutely incredible all white meat with no fat! Steak was cooked to a perfect medium like we ordered and also not fatty! We liked the steak so much we added a second side . I absolutely love the homemade corn tortillas here I just wish that they would serve you more than three at a time . The chips are much better than I remember as well and are totally made in house and each chip is super crunchy and served warm ! My only complaint is the salsa selection sucks . I ordered the more tomato salsa and it was too spicy so then I asked to switch it to the Verde, which didn't have much flavor. The only other option is a pico which I'm not really a fan of. kind of shocking that they don't have a better tomato based homemade salsa. I guess better that way because I ate less chips since the salsa wasn't very good I was really excited to see the hot mezz cocktail on the menu that I remembered loving it years ago. Unfortunately, they apparently changed their recipe and it's not made with fresh watermelon juice anymore. The drink came out, tasting like a sour tart and had absolutely no watermelon flavor and definitely wasn't spicy. Our server was happy to exchange it and try to have them remake it, but it still wasn't good. She then recommended a different drink which was made with Mezcal and pineapple. She was very kind to bring out a third drink, but still it
