    Salsa & chips, 2 El Jefe tacos and 2 Built-To-Order tacos.
    Roland S.

    Tacos are good/fresh, salsa & chips are good, service is good, atmosphere is nice. However the sides are disappointing. The Cilantro Lime Rice is undercooked (a bit hard) and served cold). The Black Beans were nothing special and also somewhat cold. Portions for both sides were extremely small for the price. Will be back but skipping any sides in the future.

    First time at this location and we loved it! Service was awesome. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is the same as the other locations. Love all the customizations. No matter which combo you pick they are always delicious. Plus the margaritas are the best I have ever had. Tried the watermelon this time and it did not disappoint.

    Came here for happy hour and it was nice! The margaritas are $4 during happy hour and tastes pretty good. I got the gingerita and it was quite special. We also got bowls on the side and they were decent. It lacked a little flavor (got a creamy sauce and a spicy sauce) but otherwise was great! The chips and salsa here is great!

    This is a really cool place artistically. I gave it three stars just based on that fact. You are given a sheet and you build your taco with everything you would like on it. The last time I was there I felt that the taco I received didn't have much in it. They also brought out guacamole to the table, I thought it may have been ordered by someone in our party. When I looked at the bill (of course after getting in car and driving away) they billed me for it. I asked the other couple if they had ordered the guacamole and they did not. That being said the place was packed! So I would say that they must have their faithful following. Unfortunately it was not my night. Support your local restaurants and I hope you have a better experience.

    If I could give Barrio more than 5 stars I would. It is the best taco you'll eat AND the most economical taco you'll eat in Cleveland. A taco will cost about $4-$5. You chose your toppings. The chips and salsa are great. The margaritas are great. The guac is awesome. If you like queso- definitely get a bowl of queso. I'd suggest ordering one more taco then you'll need to have some great leftovers the next day. If you like tacos- you MUST try Barrio.

    Food truck was in our neighborhood and they always do a great job of being quick and efficient. Good tacos. The guacamole is a tad spicy. Queso is delicious. Salsa isn't my favorite.

    It's nice to have Barrio come out closer to the suburbs where parking is easy in an attached lot! :) However, I do miss the food quality and service of the original locations. The newest location is in a strip center, which feels like the old dark part of Strongsville. There aren't many lights in the area or establishments. Go just a few miles and you'll feel the liveliness of Southpark Mall. The interior is spacious making it easy for wheelchair accessibility and high chairs. There is outdoor seating as well, which is open in the summer months. More space equals a more open feeling and less crowds waiting around a tight bar space. We were seated a step up in the back with clear views to the TV. Somehow we were seated at a table that shook. Our waitress tried to put pads of paper under it to keep it steady and had no luck. So we sat at a wobbling table all night and no one ever follow-up after. Thank god our drinks didn't spill. They are generous with the complimentary chips and salsa as our waitress brought out refills. For some reason the chips tasted a bit stale, not like the fresh (and super addicting) ones we've tasted at the Lakewood location. The quality wasn't the same. The red salsa was okay, but didn't taste the same as the other locations. In the past we've also been given complimentary green spicy salsa. So, we asked for a salsa verde not knowing this is an extra $5. Luckily, we cancelled the order before it was brought out. The waitress did forget to take the charge off and we had to later have this amount refunded. (So make sure to always get a receipt after signing their electronic credit card charger so you have an itemized list of charges.) The bowls have gone up in price from $4 to now $7, but the quantity has increased! We had enough to take home as leftovers. For vegetarians, they added a BBQ tofu as a protein source. The sweet chili tofu is still my favorite! The tacos were great! Overall, not the same vibe at the other locations. The chips and salsa were a miss, but the tacos were a hit. Wait staff is friendly, but needed to find a resolution to the wobbling table as this could become a safety hazard.

    Honey Guacamole
    Leslie A.

    This is a review of margaritas and honey guac only. We did not eat here today. First off, we came here bc I read that their margarita was amazing. What I have to say about it is this: they are weird. They have a strange taste. I'm not sure what to say about them. They taste weird. They aren't sweet, which is fine, but they have a strange aftertaste. Not in a good way either. We love margaritas and we would NOT come back here for them. We have eaten at Barrio (not this one) before but never had a margarita - that's what we will continue to do Hubs ordered the honey guacamole. He enjoyed it, said it was very interesting. The texture of the slaw and the sweet of the honey was a good combo. Chips were warm and delicious

    First visit here in this new location! I've only ever been to the original Tremont location originally. Didn't get to order any food this time around, so this review will only cover the service, drinks, and atmosphere. First off, this place is gorgeous. The walls are covered from floor to ceiling with the artwork that you will find in every other location.. Día de los Muertos themed full of skeletons wearing costumes. The lighting is also beautiful with lamps of all shapes and sizes and colors. The bar has ambient lighting along the bottom which adds even more modernity. You will spend your first 20 minutes just taking it all in. Their craft beer selection is on the small side but has plenty of variety for the craft beer enthusiast. Also got to sample their jalapeño margarita which was pleasantly spicy and yet sweet. Very interesting beverage! Tacos are ordered by taking the long pieces of paper and filling out your various selections, the same as in other locations. I have yet to sample the food here but will soon. My review will be updated accordingly. Strongsville now has an abundance of taco joints now, but even with all the competition, Barrio is a Cleveland landmark and should do just fine, even though this location is out of the way of the shopping and restaurant traffic. It is a destination kinda place, so people will come regardless. I look forward to returning here many times in the future!

    Two delicious tacos!

    Recommend Barrio if you are in the mood for tacos! Their salsa and guacamole are tasty too. The service was also very good; attentive and friendly. It was my first visit here and I wasn't sure what to expect. You select off of a small paper menu the items you want to order. Most items are build to order, which because of a long work day, wasn't in the mood to pick all ingredients in my tacos. Chose two special tacos and was happy with my choices. Highly recommend the jalapeño lime shrimp one. My favorite of the two I ate. If you do order a taco off of the specials, do note that ingredients can't be substituted out, including the type of taco shell. I really liked the margarita, just wish there would have been a choice of sizes like in traditional Mexican restaurants.

    I loved this little taco spot! When I made it into Cleveland and dropped my bags at my hotel, I was…read moreexcited to see that there was a Mexican restaurant just a short walk away. For whatever reason, tacos sounded like the perfect comfort meal after braving the airport. I stepped into Barrio on a weekday afternoon and if I didn't know any better, I would have thought they were closed based on the quiet street and customers inside. There were 6-7 other guests in the restaurant but beyond the music, it was very chill in there. I took a seat at the bar and I was promptly greeted by a nice guy behind the counter. He explained the taco ordering process to me, showing me the order form and even sharing his personal favorites. I love the ordering form! It's cool to see all of the options in one spot, the choices were extensive. I decided to go with 1 specialty taco, the La Tierra, 1 chicken taco and 1 steak taco. I also got a side order of guacamole and pico de gallo. I'm so bummed that I don't remember the second sweet guy who assisted me, I believe it started with a D. He was the sweetest! About 15 minutes after I ordered, he came back with his hands full of bags. We both looked at each other and laughed because, why did y'all give me all of these bags?! LOL. Turns out they bagged each item separately (paper bag and a plastic bag). I felt so greedy omg. I had to quickly rebag it all before I walked out, lol. My tacos were delicious! Albeit, a little soggy due to the sauces I requested to have on them. The guacamole and pico were also delicious but a bittttt too salty and limey. I usually like my guac and pico with a little extra kick, but I could have done with one less dash of salt and one less squeeze of lime, lol. Either way - it was a really great meal and experience overall.

    Was here on a weekday for a team lunch. For a Friday afternoon at noon it was pretty empty. So we…read moregot seated pretty quick and our server was prompt with chips, salsa and water for all. It took a while for our order to come but they prompt with getting us refills on the chips and salsa. I ordered a couple of the El Jefe Specials - El Jefe Loco and Crunchy Chipotle Chicken and a build your own - pulled pork and chorizo for protein, pico de gallo and corn salsa with chipotle crema and mango habenero sauces. The tacos were huge and scrumptious would be an understatement. It was a taco version of sloppy joes that makes you feel warm and fuzzy! Always loved Barrio for their tacos and margaritas. You cannot go wrong here.
