I recently visited this place with friends for take out, as we were hanging out nearby. I had the crab mofongo, unfortunately there were too many shells in the dish to enjoy it. So having seen my friends with crunchy/crispy fries, I decided to go back and order just a side of fries. Waited about 45 minutes for the extra fries and was then given regular fries, not the crunchy ones. Was then told that after a certain time they no longer give you crunchy fries. This is not listed anywhere or are you made aware of the change. I proceeded to give away my fries to a friend and waited until I was home to eat. This place has potential but unfortunately I'll never get to see if it gets there as I won't be going back. By the way, a couple other friends had complaints but we did not voice it. THE WAIT FOR FOOD IS RIDICULOUS!!!! My brother waited 2 hours for a sandwich (yes we timed it). read more

I went with family, varied in ages and we all had a good time. Drinks were on point, happy hr was amazing and food was good too. DJ played great music. Very entertaining. I would def go back again!!! read more

Besides the fact they took forever to bring our food the service wasn't great. I ordered arroz con gandules and pernil. The pernil was very dry and the arroze con gandules was NOT that. It was arroz con sweet peas. Who does that?? Barrios BX. I really wanted to like this place but its a definite NO for me. Lets include that Boriquas were not the ones that cooked this food. Very disappointing!! Took my dinner home and it ended up in the garbage 2 days later. The meat in the emapanadas that we bought literally fell out of the dough Smh. The only thing that I enjoyed was there happy hr beer. Oh yea the place was empty and the girl told us we had an 1hr and half sitting time frame on our table.....MIND YOU THE FOOD TOOK AN HR TO GET TO OUR TABLE. Ridiculous! read more

The place was great, the music was on point. The service was a bit behind but the waitress did her thang. The bar tenders need a shout out because the drinks ( Parcha Piraguas ) were absolutely delicious. read more

Soooooo good!!! Hubby had a coors I had a passion fruit piragua with Don Q rum. For dinner we had alcapurrias which were really good!! Also ordered chicken pastelillos, also really good! My hubby had chicharon de pollo with rice, beans & maduro. The only thing I didnt enjoy was that the music was really loud. Way too loud for a weekday early evening date night. The blasting reggaeton music is something I wouldve expected on a weekend there. Nonetheless, we will definitely be back. Oh and for the two drinks & food, our bill was $75 read more

I meannnnnn YUMM. I stumble on this spot after having a horrible experience at a restaurant down the block. They seated us right away and we super friendly. I ordered the Pacha flavored Piragua SO GOOD. Being Puerto Rican I'm super critical of PR food, this place def stood out. The alcapurrias and tripleta were amazing. I tried to go back but it's been so hard to get a table, I definitely understand why. read more

Barrio BX - Passion Fruit Piragua - Puerto Rican Near Me - Bronx, New York

I've came here for brunch on the weekends and this place be popping! The food is delicious and their pollo guisado brings me back to actually being in Puerto Rico. The DJs they bring are on point playing old school hits that get you ready to start breakdancing on the dance floor. The drinks are amazing especially their rum punch. I've been here several occasions and Barrio BX never disappoints. read more

The rest of the places on east Tremont strip might be more "vibey" for some but the food here is unmatched. Great place to take your family since no hookah. The best tasting food on this strip is right here. I'm not a mofongo person but the trifongo is so saucy and delicious. Even the vegan one is done really well. Everything on the app menu is done fresh and are large shareable portions. I've been here 3x now and each time is 100%. Tv's were off on my last visit and I asked if they can play the game. Manager put every sport event on that night the best! Music 10/10 Food 10/10 read more

What a great addition to the neighborhood! We were in the mood for some Latin food and this hit the spot. I loved the ambiance and creative cocktails. My husband and I got different flavored piraguas and would definitely recommend the coquito one. I ordered the pernil which came out in its own little pot. Only one star off because we waited an inexplicably long time for our entrees, but the waitress was super apologetic and their great attitude made up for it. I wish I could give them 4.5 stars. We will def be back! read more

Food is way too salty. I've given this restaurant plenty of chances. Salty food does not equate to authentic food. Had the sancocho, alcapurrias and pastelitos. I only ate half the soup. And threw out the alcapurrias. I don't think I'll be back. Ever. read more

When I say this food is AMAZING. Forreal, go check this place out! I ordered delivery through Grubhub and got the chicken sandwich w yuca frita and sorrulitos de maiz &the sauces were perfect! Definitely going to order again, and hopefully we can dine in soon ! (I can't WAIT to try the piragua this summer!) read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon around the 2pm got seated rather quickly, checked temperature and asked for ID for contact COVID tracing. Got a scannable menu and waited for the server to come to the table. We ordered a beer and a rum punch. After about 30 minutes it came to the table. The tables next to us were also complaining of slow service. We watched the drinks just sit at the bar waiting for server to bring to table eventually. 15 minutes after, we got the appetizers. The rum punch was more like juice punch, I was glad I ordered a beer. The appetizers came to the table cold. The yuca fries were ok, the cod fritters were delicious (but cold) and the alcapurrias were steaming hot but no flavor. As I sit here 1:30 later , I'm still waiting on my main dish of stewed chicken and rice. The chicken stew was good, and rice and beans fared well. But definitely wasn't worth the 1:30 wait. The waitress never once came back to check on us, ask if we wanted more drinks or water. Left disappointed but will try again and update my review. read more

This was our 2nd attempt. The 1st had a line that was way too long for a hungry pregnant woman to wait on but the 2nd visit was a success. Great customer service, food took a bit to arrive but because it was fresh. Well worth the wait! We had the mofongo de churrasco and the asopao de camarones. Definitely recommend you go for brunch or dinner. read more

Staff is amazing. Food is like eating at grandmas house and you don't want to stop eating until you roll yourself out the door. On top of that the decor and the style of the restaurant is like being in Puerto Rico not to mention every customer looked like they were on vacation in PR. Can't sit until I return. read more

Barrio BX - Pernil con mojo fries - Puerto Rican Near Me - Bronx, New York

This place has food that will remind you of home! If you have not you have to try Barrio if you are looking for a great latino owned place to eat and enjoy a quality time. I had the Trifongo and it nostalgic, flavorful, & an amazing value that I had food left over to take home. The drinks here are also super solid and they don't cheap out like so many other restaurants by giving you quality drinks not just full of sugar. Finally, the ambiance is so calming, chill, & inviting for all types of people. I took family, friends, & co workers who all fell in love with the place. Take my word for it and give it a try! read more

I love this place. Old school PR vibes with great music. Really great place to see the real Bronx!

I came here on a Friday evening and got to enjoy a bit of their happy hours. $8 mojitos, sangrias And margaritas. I had 2 sangrias and they were okay... I feel like it watered down quick. Also had 2 shots of patron ($12 each) and I was okay... I had a beef alcapurria for the first time ever-- our server recommended it to me--- and I personally did not like it. I'm not sure if it was me or if it was the alcapurria itself but it just wasn't for my palette. Didn't eat it. My friend got yellow rice with peas and fried pork chop and honestly it could of been bettered seasoned. Everything. Is as if they just put yellow coloring on the rice and threw the peas in there and called it a Moro. It just lacked flavor. Overall, I had a good time sitting there and eating my yuca fries (which I prefer thin and theirs was thick but it's okay), listening to music and vibing out. Staff was great and very attentive to us. I would come back. read more

The food was good, I attended a family dinner party. This location is ran by a young manager who would benefit from a class on hospitality. She was very rude to us and moved our large party around. She claimed that she needed to accommodate other customers. Which I totally understand of they were actually here. She made this decision based on assumptions opposed to waiting. On top of that I witnessed her pretty much telling guests that they needed to leavw due to the 90 min time limit. I of course asked where in the restaurant or the website doesn't it indicate that. She had no response, just cause. Honestly that is not acceptable. Because of our party amount although she stated she can accommodate she did not. Leaving half our party standing up. That is ridiculous. read more

First off, the food was AMAZING and so was the tamarind mojito! It is a bit pricey in here but the serving size is huge. It's good enough for 2 people! I have high standard when it comes to Spanish restaurants and I got to say this one stole the spotlight! Authentic Puerto Rican food with the tastiest dishes. I went for my friends birthday and we ordered a dessert flan which was delicious and nicely preformed with sparkler candles. The music was good, a bit of old school songs, Spanish, and some recent ones too. It gets super loud at night time, I would recommend to go on a slower weekday. I got the chicken guisado and let me tell you... IT WAS TO DIE FOR! I can't stop thinking about the flavors that were melting on my tongue! read more

So I'll just start off with what most people say in a five star review. The food was the bomb! Oh and the drinks were all so wonderful. The perfect combination of ingredients. We had the piña colada, Mojito and margarita. They were all made to perfection. They used quality ingredients and not too much or too little alcohol. So now that I got that out the way I want to share my experience; our experience. Our waitress Elaine and buser Peter were super excellent! They were both very attentive, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, etc. I remember it being a Saturday. We had a late afternoon/early evening dinner and it was a chilly. Elaine made her best efforts to keep us as warm as possible while enjoying outdoor dining. She also made great food suggestions. Thank you for the wonderful service, food and night. Elaine good luck on your future endeavors. You'll make an AWESOME teacher. read more

5 stars all around. Do you know how hard it is to find good Steak & Eggs? Well i found it. Barrio makes the best because of the tenderness of the skirt steak and how well seasoned it is. Then they hit me with the Trifongo? Trifongo? Yes. Sweet & Green Plaintain with Yucca added. BANGIN! I will be back. Service was great. Management very accommodating. read more

Took them over hour and half to seat my family and us (with available tables, after we told them we didnt mine being split up) We decided to just leave and they called us back after two hours wait time We were a party of 8 Wouldnt waste my time if your going in a group. read more

Delicious. Nice ambience. All food options are good. No complaints. Drinks are delicious also. Try it.

Decided to try this spot since their happy hour is till 8pm. The service was horrible. Our waitress left for lunch for about an hour and didn't even let us know or have someone else wait on us while she was gone. By the time she got back happy hour was almost done. Best part is when we tried to order our dinner, she said the tables have a 90 minute limit. Seriously?? After you were gone for an hour?? So we only were able to eat appetizers, which by the way weren't great and a drink. Never again. read more

The one and only time I went there we ordered drinks and appetizers which took forever to come out. Finally they came out and we ordered food and that took forever and after everyone was eating the waiter never came back to check on us or the fact my food never came out, I told him I was missing my food and he came back to tell me that my food never got made. The chicken was never put to fry whatever that means. I will never step back into this tiny and cramped place ever again read more

What a party great food. Extremely fun atmosphere. Unique drinks. Love the option to sit outside.

The food and drinks are amazing. It's very clean and staff are welcoming. I can't wait to go back.

Undoubtedly one of the best places to eat in the Bronx and NYC. Fantastic food every time, great reasonably priced drinks, great music in the evening with an excellent DJ, and the ambiance is top tier. Nice place for a dinner or weekend vibe. Phenomenal brunch options as well. The owner Tony is very personable and makes every effort to be accommodating. All in all 10/10 would highly recommend it, never had a bad experience! read more
