    The Barnyard was phenomenal, as usual. We had the Jerk Chicken Tacos and Braised Oxtail Empanadas. They were absolutely delicious. I keep introducing new friends to the location and they insist that they will also be back!! It's a good vibe with great food! What's not to love!?❤️

    The staff was very nice. The place was empty when we arrived and food took very long. The waitress was nice. She took our order repeated it back to us and still messed it up. Which made the food take even longer. Unfortunately I will not be back. The food was just ok to me. Definitely not worth the wait.
