Unique. Tasty. Efficient. Been going to Barrio for years now since they opened their other location in Portsmouth NH years ago and so I can confidently say this is the place to go for scrumptious tacos unlike anything you'll taste elsewhere. Barrio also leveraged a unique ordering system split between predefined tasty tacos or fully customizable, BYO tacos of all forms and flavors. Mason jar margs are equally generous and delicious, with many flavors and options to choose from. If you're an apoplectic steak lover I highly recommend giving the La Tierra a taste - an unlikely yet truly delicious intersection of Coca Cola, bacon, steak, and secret sauce that makes this taco tantalize your taste buds like Boston's own Keytar Bear tearing it up on any given Tuesday night. Add to that a unique , if bustling, ambiance, with more decor flair than vintage Jennifer Aniston on a TGIF work night and you've got a recipe for a great dining experience that will not feel like every other Mexican restaurant with Americanized quesadillas, hard shell tacos, and $50 sugary marg pitchers. read more

Food was good and convenient. Wait was a little long and there were definitely people who came in later and got seated ahead of us. Staff was nice and addressed our concerns quickly read more

Can't order delivery from this place. The last 3 orders from here have arrived with 1 taco instead of 5. Once is understandable but three times in a row. ..I loved this place but I'm done ordering from here. read more

Timing. Attention and management responsibilities. Food took over 45 minutes for 6 tacos. Wished I went to tacos lupitas. Cheaper and better. read more

Honestly I've had better food from chipotle. Got the steak & chorizo tacos. All tortillas were broken and ice cold. The steak taco was literally about 4 tiny pieces of steak, mind you they were dry.. Worth mentioning it was $7 for their marinated coke-cola steak. Ordered nachos and cheese wasn't even melted plus also cold. I knew the food would be bad once i saw how quick the dasher picked up the food; it's def not fresh. Also everything came in wayyy too many cardboard bags. Felt like there more focused on presentation than quality. Def better Mexican (authentic) options in Haverhill especially considering how overpriced it was read more

Not good at all!! Rude and unresponsive service and the food was awful. Go elsewhere!!

My family and I love Barrios. Great service and generally decent food. However, lately some of the items are not how they used to be. First of all, let's talk about the Jarritos( Mexican soda) if you are going to serve them room temperature, please serve them alongside a glass of ice. Just in case we need it cold. Also, your green goddess tortilla is not as good as it used to be. It seemed to not have the same bond it used to have. I felt like they just put the hard and soft tortilla together, without adding the queso and guacamole. Overall, the place is clean, and the staff is great. I just am not sure of who is cooking the food not. The "Hero of the Land" taco was pretty good. I would order that again. read more

Food is excellent and service is very good. Food menu choices are limited to tacos, chips and guac. Otherwise, I would probably give it five stars. read more

Delicious tacos and drinks. Love the house beer and the staff were able to give us extra chips yee doggy te amo thank you

Sent this email: No response! I'm reaching out to share my concerns with my visit today. No hostess at the station, this is the second time this has occurred in the last few weeks. Therefore, we had to wait to be seated. Once sat, placed our drink order and received cold, yesterday chips, they were not fresh at all. While eating our stale chips, the bartender "Michaela" was FaceTiming someone with all the other staff members. Not sure if they were speaking with a manager but doesn't seem very professional. Placed our order, no monthly tacos due to a non prep (kitchen) issue, very disappointing. We stayed & ordered bowls as we usually do & usually 2 monthly special tacos. We couldn't place the order for those tacos but we did choose others. Two people came in and were seated. Once they found out there were no specials, they got up and left. (We didn't). Bowls came to the table, rice and meats were correct. None of the other items ordered were in the bowl. It was like the kitchen put on whatever they had left over. We don't send food back ever! Music is always too loud. We come in about twice a month to eat. This has got to be one of the most disappointing visits. We may be taking a break from this haverhill establishment. After reading other reviews, looks like they don't care to respond! Too bad! read more

Genuinely one of the most confusing places I've ever been to order feels like I'm back in hs doing work in class and testing trying to order food and there preset menu has 4 items if you're hungry and want to just get a menu and order this isn't for you . The workers are nice. Good atmosphere. And the overall food was a solid 3/10 they forgot two of my sides the cod was hard and dry and tasted like the ocean no seasoning my rice was hard and overcooked the best thing was there salsa verde I paid 10 dollars per taco.. NOT WORTH IT go somewhere else worth ur time and money read more

My family has been going to Barrio for years. We celebrate birthday's anniversaries and just Friday night dinners there. It was one of our favorite places to go. They catered our daughter's graduation. I reached out to them on May 28th this year to see if they could cater our son's graduation party on June 14th. They said "We would be happy to cater your event." I reached back out with the head count and what we would like on June 2nd. On June 4th I sent a follow up email because I had not heard back on a confirmation. On June 5th I get an email from Matt Prescott saying unfortunately due to a high volume of orders that day, we will not be able to fulfill your order. With 9 days before my son's graduation, now I have to scramble to find another caterer. There are no words on how disappointed I am. This is no longer a favorite dinner spot for our family.

Was pretty quiet on a Sunday afternoon, maybe 15 people total but took us quite awhile to get our 5 tacos and they were only ok. Plus the menu is not super clear about upcharges for ingredients, they to say +1 next to some pretty clearly but it could be made more clear on menu that picking more than one item in a certain section of the build your own tacos will also add a dollar per. Overall meh service meh food read more

I like the food. But a little too many choices for tacos. Not very authentic but good. Dining room Is beautiful. Service was good.

Got the gringo tacos & Coca-Cola marinated steak tacos. Seriously there was two little pieces of steak in tacos. Very disappointing. Gringos tacos were good. Chips and salsa excellent. Won't be back. read more

Ordered pulled pork, got beef instead....burger crumbles well done. Wouldn't serve me at all. Probly not worth it to get over priced tacos that you didn't ask for ‍ read more

My fiancé and I were sat, the waitress got us water took our app and drink order. 20 mins went by no drinks or apps or chips and salsa. We asked another server if she could get our server. 20 more mins no server. So that's at least 40 mins with nothing. Decided to leave, no one seemed to care. FYI. It wasn't busy. Won't be back read more

They gave gluten when asked specifically for gluten free due to allergy. Person got very sick. Prices are tough and it's not as good as it used to be. However. I still love going to this place a lot despite everything read more

Keep in mind that Barrio is NOT a Mexican restaurant. It is a taco restaurant - only. Create your own tacos with check off pads at the table- there is however a small menu with handmade tacos (so less decisions, thank you). Drinks are strong and crafty if you like....nice salted chips as well and FRESH! No stale ones to be found! The tacos were solid- but small so order heavy or eat more chips. Wonderful patio with river view along the new riverwalk- its the place to be on a nice summer evening. read more

I will say that our visit started out very disappointing. We parked our car and called to see about immediate availability as we have 2 kids under 5 who were hungry. We were told they had immediate availability to seat us. We said we would be right in. When we walked in, they told us it was a 20 minute wait. We told them we just called and had to unload the kids from the car (which took 2 minutes) they said that they just seated another party. What added insult to injury, was they when we ordered drinks at the bar, they said no kids at the bar (which was understandable), and we should go outside. They also forgot our kids drinks on our order and then didn't give us lids like we asked for (they said they were out). After a 45 minute wait (when we were told ~20 mins), we were seated. The only thing that did happen correctly was drinks served quickly, although not entirely correct. To add insult to injury, our food didn't arrive at the table for 45 minutes and when it did, it came out cold. The manager came over and gave multiple excuses from short staffed (if that is the case, then don't let so many people into the restaurant) to the fact that they put cold toppings onto tacos, so that cools them down. It was not that the tacos were lukewarm, they were COLD, like they were sitting there for a long time. She offered to take care of our bill for us, but only the food portion. It was such a poor showing of a restaurant, my husband did not even try his food once he felt it was cold. The staff there was awful, complete lack of empathy and wanting to make thing right at every turn. We got treated like everything was our problem and that we were a nuisance. We were very disappointed as we had such good expectations. This is NOT a kid friendly place, and the staff has poor attitudes. read more

Been to this barrio so many times and it's by far, superior to the Portsmouth location. The food is always so much more fresh and delicious. Never an issue with service or quality yet! read more

Food is always great. However, whoever they have checking their takeout orders should be fired. Every single time I order takeout my order is ALWAYS wrong. This will be my last takeout order from here because I am sick of paying for food I won't eat and going back and forth with DoorDash trying to get refunds. Step up your game because I really like it here and don't want to stop eating your food read more

Omg.... I came a kid free night alone and HOLY CRAP. Even with RONA and her stupid restrictions, the staff was amazing! I cannot say enough good things about them. We are all struggling but not here! Super nice and accommodating no issues! The food... I took one bite and was BLOWN out of my chair. Such a mix of flavors and spice ugh I was left wanting more! I was full but couldn't get enough. Expertly crafted tacos and a fun interactive menu to boot! I absolutely love this place and will be back for many more nights alone- HEY MANAGER! Get used to my face I have found my kid free landing spot! Ugh YESSSSSSS! read more

Online ordering hasn't been fixed for months. I have to call in my order every time I order online. My order has been wrong 4/4 times. The receipt is correct with everything we order but the cooks always put the wrong ingredients. The cooks must be under the influence... read more

Love that you can customize your tacos, they are huge for only $3.50. They also have an interesting variety of salsa, guacamole, and queso dips. Drinks are strong, I recommend the Sassy Pineapple margarita. Have to take away 2 stars since I think it's disgusting the sinks in the women's room had no running water. read more

The drinks were fire! Thank you for that. But I do want to say there was a situation last night that wasn't even that big of a deal so I'm with my friends and one of my friends was drinking and he was cut off bc he was being a little loud I am assuming but the way the GM did it wasn't professional at all he could of pulled him aside and said your cut off with out making a scene so maybe train people better seeing you are a company you would think you would know professionalism. read more

Fun environment, my tacos were amazing. I got pulled pork and it was delicious. Our server Brendan was a sweet young kid and always checked in on us. Good time! read more

Pleasant setting, we ate inside but felt like we were outside because of the floor to ceiling windows with views of the river. Ordered from the chef's selections. Shrimp and chicken tacos good but over salted. Guacamole was also over salted to the point of being nearly inedible. Margaritas overly sweet. Once they figure out how to lighten up on salt and sugar they will become a favorite haverhill destination for us. read more

Cannot believe this place serves to underage teens. A young group of teen men went there tonight and ordered a pitcher of margaritas. The male server informed them that surveillance cameras are present and told them to pull out "any type of card" to appear as if they are showing their I.D. Some showed a credit card. One even showed a library card! And this teen bragged that this was not the first time they drank there. What are you going to do about this Barrio? read more

I've had take out here twice and eaten in once and the food is always cold. the takeout is all smushed together even though it's presented in this huge bag. we ordered two tacos and a taco bowl, and everything needed more, tacos were completely dry. taco bowl was really mediocre. I just don't get the hype. read more

This place is really hit or miss,the good news is 80 percent of the time it's very good,the food is hot well prepared with generous amounts unfortunately there are times when it's been room temperature and tasted like it's yesterday's leftovers. The location can't be beat,right on the river,with the warmer weather coming and the outdoors seating I'm hoping the quality of the food becomes more consistent read more

I LOVE the food here. I dislike tremendously how wrong my orders are too many times when I receive them. The last three times I've gotten takeout and two random times ordering inside they've: forgotten the protein, used a total other protein that was way too spicy for me to eat (waste), or forgotten a taco or chips altogether. I've never complained until now because I figure everywhere is struggling, but today I just kind of had enough five times is a little too many, esp when you get them home and they're just completely wrong. A waste of money. Again, I love the food here, atmosphere is great, employees are always nice. I'm just really not happy wasting money on takeout here anymore because there's always something wrong. :( read more

Atmosphere was nice. Food was made to how you want with the create your own tacos. Drinks were just okay. read more

Barrio - Traditional guacamole Buffalo chicken queso and corn salsa - Tacos Near Me - Haverhill, Massachusetts

The atmosphere is top notch and I had high hopes. However, the tacos I had on 9/18/22 were absolutely terrible. The shells were fried until they were brown and the tofu was fried until it was harder than a crouton. It seems like they had to have been abandoned in the frier for quite some time and that it should've been immediately recognized as a mistake and then remade. I can't believe they made it all the way to my table. I didn't have time to complain and wait for them to be remade, so I picked it apart and tried my best. No bueno. read more

Barrio - Rock hard tofu - Tacos Near Me - Haverhill, Massachusetts

Racist waitress who who could not get out of her own way if her life depended on it. Sat there for 25 minutes waiting on my taco before I told her to cancel it. We sat there waiting 20 minutes for another beer before she came back and asked us if there's anything else we want cause she forgot to bring us. Our beer definitely will not be going back. Her response is it's a little busy on Wednesdays. They must've been about 30 people in the whole restaurant. read more

Barrio is one of my favorite dinner spots. I frequent the Portsmouth one, but since moving to Boston, discovered this location is closer. Food is amazing as always. We also had incredible service (Eli was our server and was great)! Definitely will be saving the drive and visiting this location more often. read more

Love love love the tacos and margs here!! My on my complaint would be that they get my order wrong quite often and I have to wait for them to remake it! But I love how you can customize your order and everything tastes great. Except the guacamole, that is honestly not my favorite (not fresh tasting). Definitely will keep coming back here! Wish they opened for lunch. read more

Fake Mexican food. If chipotle has better guac then thats a problem to begin with. Tacos are not traditional and come out cold. Avocado toast for brunch is idk how to explain other than gross. They use cheap small shrimp. First and last time. Drinks are alright give it 3 out 5 for drinks. read more

Sitting here now. I've always wanted to come in here because it looks so cool. Got to the bar easy enough but then completely ignored and no eye contact made. It's a little busy, but the overall feeling is unwelcome. The only way I've gotten any service is to yell out to someone. And then servers are a little friendly. Complicated to order. No help even suggested. A waitress did bring me chips and salsa eventually, which are very hood. Snuck in an appetizer order and that came quick. Tasting now it's all queso type dip. Might or might not attempt to-get a taco. Overall nice atmosphere food seems authentic not a big selection of beer. Wine is reasonably priced. I'm sure cheap stuff. Bartenders seem to be the biggest put off to this whole experience. I might try in the future. read more
