    All the extra corn tortillas I removed from my tacos so that they were edible. Please gently heat or steam them so that they don't crack!
    Li S.

    I have debated this review since our visit and have re-written it a number of times. I love small business and I want to see small business succeed. I write this only so that others don't have to go through the same experience, and so that the business can improve. Our original dinner plans fell through, so I quickly chose Barrio based on the reviews I had seen and the fun, colorful pictures. It seemed like a safe choice. The service was excellent. We were seated quickly, and our server was 10/10 - so observant, she always made sure that we had everything we needed. This was the kind of service I'd expect from an upscale restaurant. I have zero complaints about the service. Each person in our group opted to try different things on the menu - a burrito bowl off the menu, tacos off the menu, and build-your-own tacos. The burrito bowl seemed like it was the only hit of the night. We started with chips and queso - the queso was incredibly bland and the consistency was thin and so runny - not sure how this could be called queso. Please add some veggies, some spice, literally anything at this point! The tacos were by far the biggest disappointment - both the menu options and the build-your-own. These were by far the worst I've ever eaten. I'm not convinced that whoever made these has ever eaten a taco before. I would like to suggest that in the future you gently heat or steam the corn tortillas before making the tacos so that they do not crack. One of my 3 tacos had 4 (!!) corn tortillas on it. I'm guessing that the tortilla started cracking while the taco was being made, so the solution was to just grab two more corn tortillas. I know this is not an "authentic taco" joint, but these were hardly edible. The steak was cooked well, but there was barely any in there. The tofu was so overcooked it was hard to eat. The pork and chicken were quite bland - please add more seasoning to your food! As it stands, I would not come back here for food, nor would I recommend it, but I probably would stop in for drinks and drinks only.

    I go specifically for their marinated jalapeños! Though I love anything hot, theirs are worthy of a review on their own. The entire menu is sure to please. Service is always fast and am always greeted with smiling faces. If drinks only is on your agenda; look no further-they craft some incredible cocktails. Super laid back casual atmosphere.

    girl. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE ACTUALLY MEXICAN. don't be fooled by the lovely mural of Frida Kahlo outside of the restaurant, the food is so bad it was comical. my girlfriend and i were legit in awe of the food that we received and payed for. the service was wonderful though! our waitress was very kind and silly and helpful but unfortunately her cheerful demeanor could not save us from the bland NAKED shrimp and legit soup in a tortilla that was made for us. tummy hurt :/ okay bye

    Always enjoy coming to this Barrio location. I found a spot at the bar during happy hour. Tried one of their specialty cocktails for Valentines Day. It was basically a Paloma with rose water. Tasted fine, although I did ask for some additional grapefruit soda. I got the tuscan guac, which is one of my fave guacamoles around. Love the balsamic and feta in it. I also got their Bourbon Street taco special as a bowl. It was surprisingly really good. It had grits, chicken andouille sausage, shrimp, some type of bbq sauce and their smoked cheddar cheese. the grits were really good, thick and cheesy. The shrimp wasn't seasoned at all but it didn't make much of a difference. I also got the vegano taco which has portobello mushrooms and was pretty tasty. Come for their happy hour deals until 6 pm daily: $5 margs, 1/2 off whiskey and tequila shots, and $1 off tacos. Most days, you really can't go wrong with Barrio. They remain consistently good and the great customer service makes it even better.

    Build Your Own Taco Options

    We had a great first experience at Barrio. We got seated right away on a busy Saturday by a giant tv to watch college basketball...my husband thanks you! We were there as a party of five and ordered several different drinks and the two appetizer of traditional gauc, the queso blanco, and the corn salsa. Our waitress also brought out another salsa for the table. We all ordered several build your own tacos. I wish I would have taken my time on the builds to try more options but they were all super tasty!

    The new El Jefe Selecciones menu
    Randy D.

    Did you know there is new tacos on the El Jefe Selecciones (premade) menu? I tried them all and in comparison to the prior premade menu offered for more than 5 years, this update has a lot of things going for it that makes it worth checking out. Below are my ratings for the new menu out of 10. I set the current monthly special (Grilled Cheese Taco), the La Tierra and the Jefe Loco to 8/10. I would suggest these are the 'Barrio's Recognized Baseline' product offerings at this point. CHICKEN BACON RANCH | 6/10 - Nothing special about this one. It just has a bland, ordinary/expected flavor that your teens would love but nothing to run home about. Would choose El Jefe Loco over this taco any day, especially since both contain pork. If I could suggest an upgrade, I would switch the Bombshell (bacon) to a Goddess shell (guacamole) and offer a Chicken Avocado taco instead. FREAKIN' VEGAN I 7.5/10 - I went vegan for a year in college and would have LOVED this taco back then. Really good flavor and ingredient selection, definitely recommend if you're eating a vegan diet or otherwise! CRUNCHY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN | 9/10 -This one was really tasty and would order again and recommend to anyone! The chicken in chipotle enchilada sauce really delivers a tasty texture and that base complements the rest of the ingredients. THE CODFATHER | 8/10 - Really glad to see a fish taco this good offered as a premade option. Very tasty! Arguably, this seafood taco is preferred over the shrimp premade taco now phased out. I also learned the monthly fish offering is now phased out (thanks Tariffs lol) and Barrio is standardizing on Blackened Cod moving forward. SMASHBURGER | 9.5/10 - I am so glad this is now being served year round as this is my favorite monthly special Barrio has ever offered. It really is simple yet unique and very delicious. Don't need to say much more because this is literally a burger folded into a taco shell, but oh is it good! FRENCH DIP | 3/10 - Last and least, unfortunately. Quite disappointed with this taco as it's just a mess. Don't get me wrong, the meat and the horsey sauce is quite tasty, but the general concept to dip a soft flour shell taco into au jus doesn't deliver anything besides disappointment. Maybe adding crispy onions or just making this into a standard taco with lettuce and tomato could save it, but I would not recommend this one. Would suggest to phase this out immediately and replace with the grilled cheese taco being offered this month. Thanks for reading! Give the new menu a try!

    Sweet potato brunch bowl
    Melanie S.

    Barrio has good tacos that I would not call authentic, but were fun and tasted great. I know that they regularly get mentioned as a Best Of restaurant. The food and ambience are great, but if you're looking for authentic, you might be happier elsewhere. That being said, the food was fresh and pretty speedy, even on a busy Saturday. It's fun to build your own taco - I always lean towards fewer ingredients so it isn't overwhelming, but go to town. The chicken and shrimp were both really good, and I like the Green Goddess shell combo, that has a soft taco around a hard shell with guacamole in between. My margarita was fantastic - went down really easy, so user beware! It was not cloyingly sweet, so the mix was really great. The art work is fun, and our server was so nice. Since it was our first visit, she really took her time to go through the entire menu, how to create and order your taco, and the monthly specials. We felt bad that we missed a few of the highlights since it was pretty loud, but she really did a great job explaining. I walk past often with my dog, and when the weather is nice, they have the front garage doors rolled up and Happy Hour looks awesome. When the weather warms up a bit more, I'll walk past without Miss Pup to enjoy the patio or indoor/outdoor space.

    Queso Chorizo Chips

    Back patio on a nice day was fantastic! Tons of shade and very nice space with flowers. Service was perfect and friendly. First time there and helpful with menu as was confused at first. The custom taco making was super cool. Food was all fantastic.

    The tortillas were falling apart. Worse experience. Please see the pictures I posted. Not a fan of this location.

    Barrio in Lakewood was fabulous! The staff were welcoming and helpful. The crispy taco shells were out of this world delicious! I ordered two totally different tacos and enjoyed each one. The quest dip was so soooo good! A+ Parking is a hassle but we found one spot across street. We'll be back again!

    Love going to barrio but this was my first time at the Lakewood location. I liked the layout of the bar with outdoor seating as a plus. The queso is tasty and when you try their salsa your tastebuds will sing! We sat down at the bar and had two guys take care of us very well! Food came out quickly for both apps and entrees. We did BYO tacos but they had some brunch and Jefe selections available which are premade tacos so you don't have to try and design them! I definitely recommend getting the barrio slaw or pineapple salsa as a topper! I personally love their chicken and chorizo! Don't forget a sauce!!

    Tough stringy pork and steak. Soggy tortillas. Not good at all. Barrio has gone down hill. What a waste of money.

    Is the full menu available for takeout? Or just the taco kits?

    Just the taco kits :(

    Do they take orders over the phone?

    They sure do - they're very busy though; don't be offended by rushed convo - they are always helping customers.

What billionaire is renting mahalls on a Saturday night. We ended up walking around Lakewood only to hear a place bumping music. Turns out it was taco tantos. We walked in and vibes were electric. Pokemon playing on the TV. Staff hustling and trying to make everyone happy. Burrito whiffed in the air. We sat down and ordered a smorgasbord and of course a Pacifico (the only place in Cleveland I've seen appreciate having Pacifico stocked). Being from SoCal I'm a bit of a burrito connoisseur. Cilantro satisfies. Ohio City is pretty good. But TT itches the urge for a burrito. Sauces are scrumptious. Not many places get the correct toastyness of the tortilla blanket. There's earlier reviews that say they're unimpressed with the food, but they ordered a fucking rice and bean taco. Of course ur not gonna be impressed by a rice and bean taco silly goose. Order the steak burrito. Add jalapeños. Drink a Pacifico. Call it a night. Thank you TT.

The restaurant is large and open with a nice bar area with ample seating. Very vibrant and colorful. Everything was excellent. The server brought a basket of warm tortilla chips and a large bowl of salsa to our table. I ordered the Pollo Costeño with spanish rice on the side. It was a flat grilled chicken breast topped with bacon, cheese, and pineapple, such an outstanding combination of flavors. The sweet pineapple with the savory bacon and melted cheese worked so well together. It was slightly salty for my personal taste, but overall still very good. It came with guacamole, tomato, and lettuce on the side. I would've loved if it included flour tortillas to turn it into a wrap, but that's just a personal preference. My husband ordered the fajita burrito, and it was huge! He absolutely loved it and said it was packed with flavor. It was so big he even had leftovers to bring home. One of my sons ordered the tamale with rice and black beans combo, and my other son kept it simple with two à la carte bean burritos with queso cheese on top served with refried beans and Spanish rice on the side.
