I came here after seeing their ambiance and had a nice after work dining experience. They had good vibes and excellent food. I had the enchiladas and I will definitely come back again. The service was quick and the manager even came out to ask about the food which was a nice touch.

The place is cheerfully decorated with colorful artwork, sneakers, and bright piñatas. It's a very fun vibe! We were there to celebrate our birthdays, and this turned out to be the perfect place. Be warned, this place is extremely loud! They have a DJ, and the music was great, but you have to yell if you want to have a conversation. We actually debated if we should stay or go somewhere else, but thankfully, we decided to stay. We ordered the esquite, chicken quesadillas, tacos de alambre, birria tacos, and the mar y tierra. All of the food was really good and well seasoned. My favorite was the tacos the alambre, the steak was so flavorful! The service here was excellent! Even though they were busy, they continuously checked on us, bringing out fresh plates and napkins. My friend told them we were celebrating our birthdays, so they sang happy birthday and brought out the guy dressed as a luchador. If you want to celebrate a birthday or just have a very fun time, this is definitely a great spot.

Stopped by Barrio to grab tacos and tequila and they didn't disappoint. The tacos were awesome fully loaded and large for size. They filled us up and we even left with a Togo bag which made for amazing leftovers. The beverages were good and decent sized as well. The place is located on a corner so they have indoor outdoor wrap around seating in addition to the bar. They had a decent crowd after work and a great playlist for the happy hr drinks. The staff were extremely attentive and polite.

I had seen an advertisement on Instagram for barrio Taqueria as being the most fun place to go for your birthday. Being that it was my birthday recently I decided hey, I wanna have fun for my birthday! So I made a reservation at barrio Taqueria, and brought a few of my friends, we started off with their happy hour margarita specials I ordered a chicken quesadilla and my friends all ordered an array of good looking and tasting food. At the end of our meal, I was surprised with an order of churros with chocolate delivered on a platter with sparklers by someone dressed up as a Luchador! How fun! After that, the man in the mask, a.k.a., the Luchador, came around with tequila shots for our table. They really weren't lying about having a fun time for your birthday.

Met here with some friends on a Thursday afternoon. The place is simple, nothing crazy. Is clean and nicely decorated. We met up at 630pm and it wasnt too crowded. We were able to get some drinks before happy hour was over at 7pm. The drinks were very diluted. I had white sangria and my friends complained they hardly felt the alcohol in their drinks.. i must note that the table next to us ordered a specialty mixed drink that they make table side and that cost $110. Thats crazy tome. Anyways, for food we ordered guac and chicken nachos for the table. The nachos had barely any chicken in it and tasted was just ehhh. We finished our drink and decided to go try another place. Now we left not because the place itself was bad but we were kind of bar hopping and wanted a more lively vibe with hookah. It was past 8pm and the vibe here was still dead tho it was karaoke Thursday. Overall is a nice little place. I would come back and try other items on the menu. Service was a bit slow but I would give them another try.

We tried this place last Saturday night and had An amazing time! The only issue was as it got more packed ... the service got slower. Since we got there around 7PM, it wasn't even busy so we got seated right away and our drinks came pretty fast. To start, we got the guacamole with nachos, some esquites and an order of fries. The guacamole was fresh, full of flavor and creamy. I got the carne asada tacos and my friend got the carne asada quesadilla. They were both so tasty and were good proportions. The party didn't end there! For dessert we shared the churros and the burrito cheesecake. They both hit the spot. A night is never complete unless we have dessert! We would definitely come back here to try other dishes. Thank you for having us!
