    CHIPS AND QUESO FUNDIDO
    Stephanie G.

    Walked home after a comedy show and realized I hadn't eaten all day. I live 1 block from Barrel Burrito and had no idea it existed. It's open until 10pm so I popped in. Inside is a bit odd: it's a mostly empty dining area with only a few seating options. Maybe the majority of their business is carry out orders? No idea. They have a couple slot machines inside too, also seemed a little strange or out of place. The staff was really nice and helped me settle on the Birria burrito. Everything was fresh, came home and it was still piping hot. The consume and the burrito (which was massive) were lacking in flavor. Maybe I got the wrong burrito. It was $20 for a burrito and chips with queso, which is probably the most I've paid for a burrito ever. Which I wouldn't have minded so much if it was flavorful. Plus they charge extra for salsa. Next time I'm craving a burrito or taco I'm going to the taco trucks or smaller taquerias-- free salsa, food packed with flavor, and cheap.

    Wow! The burritos are massive! I recently found Barrel Burrito and had to try it! The restaurant is a good size with some tables with a tiki theme. I was greeted as soon as walking in and then had to choose from the list of options, which was tough to decide. It is mostly burritos on the menu, but there are multiple options for how to prepare it. It can be prepared rolled in a tortilla, sauced, or in a rice bowl. I decided on the breakfast burrito, my husband got the steak sauced, and we also got a side of rice, chips, and queso. Everything came in to-go boxes, which helped because the burritos were large! Everything was delicious, I really enjoyed the chips and queso. I cant wait to try some of the other burritos! We arrived about a half hour after opening and we were the only ones in there, shortly after some more people came in a couple of take orders. We sat at the bar area by the windows, but our view was mostly blocked by the sign. I don't know if that is here to stay or temporary, but it would be nice to look outside more. Also, I hope they have the opportunity for some sidewalk seating for the summer time. Can't wait to stop by again and try some other burritos, I'm thinking the birria or the korean chicken!

    I walked past Barrel Burrito a few weeks ago, and I had a chance go back and try it over the weekend. I thought it was a franchise of a chain restaurant because the graphics, theme, and menu struck me as being from a well-established business, i.e. I was impressed with the artwork and design. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and offered a menu. There is a large menu board to your right when facing the register. There are three options for burrito preparation: Grilled Burrito, Wet Burrito (covered in a red sauce), or Burrito Bowl. I decided on the Grilled Birria Burrito and asked them to hold the Jalapeno Cream Sauce, so my photos do not represent their intended final product, just my prefered version, and I was a fan! They told me it would take about 10 minutes for my order, and I did receive it within 10 minutes. I was the only customer at the time, which was around 5:15 on a Saturday, so pretty early. My burrito came wrapped in tin foil and in a paper sleeve with a side of consomme. The consomme was not as rich as I've had in town but had good flavor. The burrito was served hot and the inside, especially, stayed hot, even after I took several photos! The tortilla was crisp and had grill marks, but also provided the soft flour tortilla texture that I like, too. The Birria Burrito is stuffed with cilantro lime rice, tender and nicely seasoned beef birria (combo of small chunks of beef and shredded beef), queso fresco, mozzarella cheese, onion, and jalapeno cream sauce (which I ordered mine without). I cut my burrito in half, and I found it easier to use a plastic spoon to pour the consomme over the burrito for each bite than to dip it into the smaller cup and have filling spill out. I asked about the surfing theme for the restaurant, but the friendly staff could not remember why the surfing theme was selected, only that "barrel" is a surfing term. When you see a photo of a surfer on a board with a huge wave overhead while surfing through what looks like a water tunnel, that tunnel is called a barrel. I will assume the owner is a surfer, wants to be a surfer, or just loves to watch surfing. You can order online or in the store, and they partner with food delivery services like Door Dash. What I'm trying to say is go eat a burrito from Barrel Burrito. I liked my food, service, friendly staff, and I think it's a good value!

    Barrel Burrito Company opened in November 2023 and looks to be for the college crowd. The decor is giving tropical/beach vibes with one of the seating sections having some colorful umbrellas over the tables. I personally got a veggie burrito which was filling but flavor wise, it didn't hit as hard for me. If you're not vegetarian (or vegan) the menu looks like it offers some pretty meaty options worth giving a try (the bacon cheeseburger burrito or Korean chicken burrito).

    A burrito shouldn't be taking over 20 minutes when I'm the only one in the restaurant.

    Very rarely do I come across a restaurant where you feel like its existence is based on the love of…read morethe food over anything else. They have birria, both beef and lamb, on any given day. Their chicharron tacos in green salsa taste just like mom made them, and all their meats have a flavor you have to hunt down and go through 5-10 different spots to find them in other cities. Service is friendly, and the establishment is what you want a good Mexican restaurant to look like. The TV playing '90s Mexican music videos was a nice bonus. This is the best Mexican food in Milwaukee, the closest thing to it, and probably still falling short would be Atotonilco in Chicago. Don't overdo the brats, and head on over here for delicious and authentic Mexican food.

Tortillas were crispy and fried to perfection. The consommé was delicious, had me drinking it straight out the cup and was well seasoned, hot, and was in its own something to right about. The red and green salsas were also good. Red having a bit of kick, green was flavorful. I will say that I wish one of them had more heat to it but the acidity and flavors were great. The beef itself was so flavorful and tender, well seasoned, not to mention had the perfect amount in each item. Also, Onions and peppers on the side were cooked great and had me going back for more each time. Also, get the horchata, it was spectacular. This place is small but decorated to really feel like the owners, workers, really care and take pride in the establishment. It had a great ambiance that was full of people on a rainy lunch hour, and I can see why. As a person who works in the industry as a cook, the kitchen, which you can see when you order is neat, clean, and truly has the right feel of 'they know what they're doing and they're doing it well'. 5 stars, will be talking about this meal for a long time and spreading the recommendation to as many people as I can.

I would HIGHLY recommend the best burrito ($15) as they did not skimp on any ingredient, especially the flavorful pork pibil. My only qualm was that the rice was undercooked and slightly crunchy, but otherwise an affordable and tasty restaurant for a date night. The staff were friendly, service was fast (less than 10min to receive food after ordering) and the restaurant had bright and colorful furniture and decor which were true to theme.

The menu features small bites, chicken, loaded fries, and they have specials too. I ordered at the counter and got a text once my food my was ready. There's plenty of seating inside the brewery and the interior is unique because it used to be a church. Don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure it was at some point. Anyway, I had to try the birria egg rolls because there was a ton of signage. First, they were quite large. The exterior had a great crunch and the interior was stuffed full of delicious birria, mozzarella, and chihuahua cheese. The ancho chipotle aioli was nice and smoky and paired well with the eggrolls. Definitely recommend and I wish I lived in the area because I could make a meal out of just these. I also tried one of the specials, the Chicken Tinga eggrolls. Again, they were bigger than expected, had a delicious, crispy exterior, and was stuffed full of chicken tinga and queso. It was served with a side of crema. Perfect pairing and I might have enjoyed these slightly more than the birria ones. I highly recommend that you check them out. I'm jealous that I don't live closer because we don't have a place like this in KC. They are definitely a unique place with delicious food.

Get here early - parking sucks, and suburbanites will freak out at the hood, but no worries Jesus is right next door at St. Josaphats basilica and will watch over you. And don't forget to take a tour of one of this country's most beautiful cathedrals. Right there by Don Luchos. You can eat here. Lots of long communal tables so don't be shy. Prices aren't cheap but this is quality. I usually get a pound or so of carnitas. They measure it out, it's steaming, and ask if you want it chopped. I say yes. It's wrapped up tightly and it will feed you all weekend. This meat is freaking amazing!!!! I pray they haven't run out of homemade tortillas, but like I said, you gotta come EARLY. Sigh. There's about 6 different amazing salsas to try. Smoky, fresh, green, red, hot sweet - I get two for the weekend. I consider a quart of menudo. I think about. Lamb, goat, barbacoa, chorizo - but I have enough. Too hungry to wait to go home, I sit down to eat. Two tacos - huge! The best was the barbacoa - tasty little carmelized deeply flavored meat bits. Hey - don't go expecting American extras like sour cream or cheese. This is the real thing. Warming: one taco will do you. Got a side of rice and beans - yum. Don Lucho is a treasure. It is authentic, mom and pop, and these are the businesses I love to support.
