We put in our name at Mothership Pizza Paradise across the street (1.5 hour wait!) so we opted to come over here for happy hour drinks and a snack, and it was great! Our server was so kind and welcomed us warmly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the decor inside![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the $8HH margs and the chips and trio dip, which was perfect for us. Happy hour margs hit the spot and were affordable! Our server was able to accommodate our two late arrivals and we had such a good experience that we'll definitely be back for HH again soon. read more

I had read mixed reviews of Barrio but had an awesome experience there! It was quiet when we went for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was fantastic and the restaurant itself is beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I thought the chips and salsa were delicious, and I also enjoyed the shrimp skewers, shishito peppers, and shrimp tacos. The portions are smaller and the flavors are more mild compared to a Mexican restaurant. Parking in the free ramps or on the street can get busy, but there's typically something available. I'd go back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has a fun date night vibe with lower lighting in the evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are several nearby and free parking ramps. Much of the menu has single items allowing for the diner to try many items. The chips are fresh and delicious as well as the salsas and cheese dip. Service is friendly and fast. They have a few mocktails which I appreciate and many gluten free options read more

Taryn was an awesome server. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor at this location is beautiful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but we just didn't like the food. In our opinion it's not authentic, tortillas were tough, and the grilled shrimp tacos could have been better if they had some salsa or something. Free street parking and parking garage available less than a block away. read more

We had put in our name at another spot near Barrio for dinner, but headed over to grab a drink at Barrio while we waited! We had a large group, around ten, so I feel like that is important context. 50th and France parking is always an adventure, but I'd recommend just committing to the nearby parking garage instead of circling and hoping for street parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Barrio has a lot of space and is great for small and large groups![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is minimalist but gives you the feeling of elevated Mexican to match the menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our group was sat at a large table in the back. Service was very overwhelmed during our stay, which created missed orders and slow arrival. At one point, we simply went to the bar to get drinks because it had been 20-30 minutes since we placed our order. The food and drinks themselves were great! They had my favorite Mexican beer, Victoria, and it was priced well! The queso comes with tortillas, which was an interesting choice, as you have to pay extra for chips. Overall, there are many better places in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't avoid this spot if you were in the mood for Mexican or if someone invited you there! read more

Came here with my work group for Cinco De Mayo... it was alright. Our waiter was (Josh) seemed pretty overwhelmed. It felt as if he had the whole back area to do himself and you could tell it was too much. There was a large large table right next to us with probably almost 20ish people and he really prioritized that table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Additionally, when that table got done with their meal, they kind of hung around standing awkwardly by their table which was right next to our booth and it was just really loud and crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just not the greatest. We got there, immediately shown to our table as we had a reservation. We ordered all of the appetizers.. the salsa, guac and chips came out immediately (not enough chips though) and our waiter said the cheese was melting for the queso. The drinks came out shortly after (all super staggered). I got the blood orange marg and did not like it at all. Very underwhelming and not worth the calories. Then, shortly after that, everything came out completely haphazard.. and we never got the queso, and our waiter didn't even notice till we got the bill and we told him to take it off. He was in complete shock. Food was decent. Nothing special or amazing. Status quo. Service was not the best. I think if I would come back here that I would just want to sit at the bar and get a few drinks and just do the guac and chips and maybe a taco or two. Nothing else. read more

It was good enough to give it another try but not good enough to rush back, you know? [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely dining room space and nice patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was a little lacking. We had 7 people in our group but they were pretty empty when we were there and server seemed overwhelmed. Got a couple things wrong and we didn't get a couple items. Food was a little bland. It all sounded great but just didn't hit. Plenty of parking. Priced a little high for the portions. read more

Live right up the road but hadn't been until stopping by for happy hour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself is a classy, "business casual" vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not that it stopped me from rolling in wearing jeans and a hoodie. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty quiet and the staff was really friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Seems like it's much more of a late-night and lunch spot. The happy hour menu is pretty good with a huge serving of excellent guac and chips. It's the good, chunky kind of guac that lets you know you're eating avocado instead of some avocado-flavored mush. Well seasoned and comes with really good chips that hold up to the weight. They have a bunch of tacos as well and the vegetarian option was really good. Lots of filling, fresh tortilla, and I was stuffed afterwards. Didn't get a drink but they have some good specials on those as well. I'll definitely be back at some point! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely as one would expect at 50th & France in Edina, though for suburban Latin food - it's all tacos, burritos and tequila, effectively - maybe a bit too much white-tablecloth ambiance for my taste.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I did enjoy the hell out of the shishito peppers, crisp and hot. I would caution maybe 2 of 10 were truly spicy-hot, but my first mistake was in not ordering a cold Modelo, a perfect pairing with the peppers. My entree (see photo) was a chicken plate, good but I could do without chihuahua cheese melted on the chicken. Loved the black beans and rice. Our service was adequate, but he lost a star for not delivering a martini. My second mistake was ordering a Hendricks martini, up with a twist, and it never found me. The waiter clearly didn't know what that drink was. I mean, it's gin and vermouth, not some cutesy concoction with egg whites and dry ice. Eventually, the server apologized as it turned out they were out of that gin, or perhaps all gin, I don't know. Like a valet that can't drive a stick, servers of cocktails should know the standard drinks like martinis or why are you waiting tables? I declined a substitute for fear of what I'd receive. Otherwise, Barrio was just fine, and maybe a little better if one doesn't arrive thirsty. read more

Barrio - Wood Grilled Chicken Plate - Bars Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

We went to Barrio for a bday party so we had a bit of a larger group (8 ppl). They were able to accommodate all of us and got all of our orders in before happy hour ended! The server was also super friendly and recommended some drinks to us. The portion sizes were pretty small, but they were tasty! I would recommend any of the tacos, but probably multiple of them if you are hungry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a smaller restaurant and there were a lot of people eating at the same time we were so it was a bit chaotic at times to try to find our server.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The walk to the bathroom was also confusing and had to squeeze around groups of ppl.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Felt like a crowded bar at times![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I still would go back, but probably during a less crowded time! read more

The wait staff was top notch, very attentive for our table of 6. They were always around but not hovering which was nice because we went through a lot of salsa. The salsa and guacamole were delicious as were the house made chips. The rest of the food for all 6 of us was was just fair. We had burritos, tacos, beet salad, chicken plate and a Cubano sandwich and it was all average. I would comeback for drinks and maybe just an appetizer but if I have a real hankering for delicious Mexican food this would not be my first choice. read more

Barrio - Burritos with house salad. C - Bars Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

We went here for dinner and drinks and left disappointed. When we arrived, we were informed that the kitchen was closing very soon so we would have to order. The website notes that the restaurant is open until 10pm on Thursdays without any call out that the kitchen would close at 8 which was a bummer. Fortunately the menu isn't too extensive so we could select some food. We started off with the trinity margarita which is so delicious and I would give that a 5 star and return for that and the chips. The chips were so tasty and fresh, however the portion was not comparable to the salsa trio we ordered. My fiance ordered the quesadilla and was very disappointed with it. It was quite small and very thin. There was barely any meat in it despite it being a chicken quesadilla and he thought the toppings with salsa, radish, lettuce and jalapeno and whatever else actually made the dish horrible. When he scrapped off the toppings he said it was edible but not great. I ordered the steak taco and the pork belly taco. The steak meat in the taco was good, however the toppings really pulled away from the overall taco and made it taste less good. The first bite of the pulled taco was amazing but when met with the salsa, it overpowered the physical flavor and was just a heat storm with peppers and barely any meat. Neither of us would return for a meal. The only thing we would return for is the trinity margarita and the chips (maybe queso since the quac is noted as not fresh in many reviews). read more

Great atmosphere even if its only 3:13pm! There is no " happy hour" prices , regular prices for the 3p-6pm crowd. David- GREAT BARTENDER. Not yelling Would love to come back later in the evening for dinner one day That's all I got read more

50th and France has a lot of construction going on so allow time to park. We came for happy hour we enjoyed the queso with chorizo. The guacamole was great so fresh with radishes and jalapeño. We enjoyed the margarita, rose and margarita with cherry lime and absinthe. Yum yum. Our server Tony was kind, funny and overall checked on us often but left us alone. We had a great time! Thank you! read more

Tony was our server. He was great. Dining w my date who as a few of you know is vegetarian. Barrios did a great job accommodating with a great appetizer, slightly different guacamole. She got a burrito but way better than most and I make these myself so I was pleased too. I got a quinoa bowl and it was done tasty. read more

Food is good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience is even better[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Staff is always lacking in work ethic and basic communication skills.

Excellent food at Barrio, the service is also top notch. I loved the shrimp here, they are grilled with wood which gives it a super smoky flavor, I highly recommend the shrimp!! The salsas and guacamole are superb as well. read more

Although the restaurant was almost empty, the service was lackadaisical. The food took forever to arrive and was dry with little flavor. One burrito, small bowl of chips, and a coke was $25. Avoid this place. read more

I've enjoyed my dine in experiences, but this review is for delivery through one of several services we're all familiar with. The food I've received by delivery has been consistently average to poor. If I'm paying the same menu prices, then the food has to be the same quality. I paid for it after all. If your restaurant is giving people at the tables better food then you've told me everything I need to know. My fervent hope is you are unable to treat delivery customers the same way in the future, since I hope you've gone out of business. read more

Amazing restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I always have the best time at Barrio, they have amazing food, the decor is gorgeous, and I think it's reasonably priced![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love being friends to Barrio and would recommend it in a heartbeat! read more

Food, drinks, and service were very good! Quite competitive with Macanda but without the high prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, the place was oddly dead at 7p on a Saturday night. Nobody was dining beyond the bar area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sadly, seems challenged to survive at this rate. read more

I didn't have diner so I don't think I can rate them five stars, but I will definitely come back!!!!! The orange blossom margarita, (by some other name) was amazing and the fundido was amazing. So five stars on what I had. Great bartenders great service! Awesome experience I look forward to diner soon and will add another review afterwards. Check it out great spot!!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Barrio has a great vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The guac and chips were delish. But, the tacos were awful. No flavor at all. I would think by now they could figure how to make a great taco. read more

Cocina Del Barrio was ready for us on a Sunday afternoon--cool seating, helpful service, great 80s and 90s rock, and delicious food. We tried the chips and three salsas. The chips were so fresh and hot, we asked for a second bowl (to finish the salsas we liked so much). I tried the pork belly taco and the ahi tuna taco, and when I go back, I will order the same thing again. This is a place I would eat at once a week, easily. I think about those tacos in the between times. read more

Perfect Friday midafternoon "snack" with my adult daughter. Bartender Lukas was great as he fixed us up with spicy margaritas made with jalapenos and a bit of tasty salt on the rim of the glass. The trio of salsa is a staple and the snapper ceviche is so fresh and citrusy that you must experience it. Not fishy at all. The atmosphere was super relaxed today with some nice music playing and a group of four women across the establishment cackling and seeming mega happy to be "out" and about and enjoying the moment. The staff was notably cleaning between customers as you might expect and seating everyone appropriately at a distance in the restaurant. Thank you. I appreciate your service. read more

Took a trip to Concina Del Barrio in Edina for a friends birthday and honestly I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. Service was spotty but it was a busy Saturday night so I will cut the server some slack. Everyone started with a round of margaritas, they have a great selection of specialty margs. I ordered their Black Diamond and it was really delicious. We also chose to start with guacamole which I will say is some of the best I've had. However, dinner was the down fall of this experience. I opted to try some of their ala carte tacos, the Mahi Mahi, pork, and chicken. Out of the 3 the pork was the best, but that's not saying much. It had pretty good flavor and was simple, with only pork and green salsa. I was most excited to try the Mahi but I was very disappointed. The fish was flaky but flavorless, the only flavor I got from it was the chipotle aoli; felt like eating empty carbs. The chicken was dry and also very little flavor. Many friends also tried the tacos and felt similar as I do. A couple had the chicken enchiladas and thought they were alright. I may at some point come back for the drinks and the guacamole but would choose to leave without dinner. read more

No complaints! Delicious Mexican food with some (South American?) surprises like fried yucca!

The only thing keeping me from giving this place a 5/5 is the portion size. It varies from time to time on how much meat they give you per taco. Other than that, the food is flavorful and plated well. Service is decent. During the time (3:00PM on a Wednesday), there wasn't a rush or more than 10 people in the establishment, but the server took there time with coming back and taking our orders (which honestly does not bother me, as we were in no rush and the establishment itself is welcoming). read more

Great set up, Tupac hip hop music, and service, but if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this isn't the place. It's a nice hang out spot for the young crowd, but overpriced Taco Bell food is what they have. If you want good food, pick somewhere else. read more

Love this place. Good food... BUT, the last few times I've been there, it's pure chaos. Clearly understaffed, frazzled host, un-bussed tables everywhere, order mistakes, and we were told our drinks were slow because "the bartender walked out." (What?) Not asking for much - just the right food and maybe a beer in less than 20 minutes. ‍ read more

If you are looking for a good Happy Hour this is a nice place! They offer some decent Happy Hour pricing on beers and cocktails as well as some food discounts. I've been here a handful of times and it's a fun place to meet up with people and enjoy some cocktails and share a bunch of plates. Our favorite must-have is the house-made guacamole! Great flavor, fresh, and a decent size with plenty of crunchy, salty chips. I've also tried the Queso Fundido (terrific cheesy goodness with soft, warm tortillas), Adobo Chicken Quesadillas (flavorful), and any variety of their tacos! The food is fresh, using quality ingredients, and a nice size to share or to eat yourself. The cocktails are well-made and the margaritas are not overly sweet which is a nice change from some places in the Cities! Nice, cold beer too! The atmosphere is dark and cozy, but not to the point of putting you to sleep. It just lets you take that breath, relax in for a bite and a cold beverage, and remember that life is more than work and running all day :) read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and the food was awful. We ordered queso and some tacos. The queso was basically cooked cheese in a stone dish served with cheap tortilla to "paste" onto. The taco meat was burned and only tasted like burned meat. Service was good, however I would not recommend eating here. read more

A great staple Mexican restaurant in the heart of Edina. They have a ton of seating and delicious small plates. Almost similar to Spanish tapas style. If you think it's going to be busy make a reservation ahead of time so you can just walk right in. I've been before when it's packed and another time when it wasn't so busy. You just never know. The parking in the garage behind the building is free and just a short walk. After you get your Mexican beer, you gotta start with the giant bowl of gauc. The cumin dusted chips are unlike any other restaurants, a little spicy and sweet. I love the idea of the small plates instead is entrees so you can get a bunch of things to share. We usually get some tacos, the enchilada, Patatas bravas, enchiladas, gorditas, and tamal. All the small plates have pretty presentation with different sauces, cheese toppings and more. The only catch is that everything is single serving so if you want more than one enchilada you have to order it that way. A great place to meet friends or go on a date. I'll definitely be back. read more

Tasty small plates and tacos are features at this Mexican outlet. On our most recent visit the food and drinks were up to their usual tasty standards. We started with the extra crispy chips (a great deal at only $3) and the crab empanadas which come 2 to an order. Later I had two of the "gringo" tacos-crispy shell with seasoned beef, onions, cheese and hot sauce (yum!) while my wife had the salmon special. Of course no meal is complete with one (or two) of their signature margarita. Bottom line good tasty food and drinks read more
