    Stopped in for a quick bite before visiting the Salem Witch Museum. Place was colorfully decorated with lots of seating. Service was a bit slow as we waited for a while to get the food, even though we could clearly see the food sitting waiting to be delivered to the table. As a result the food was cold. My steak bowl was well seasoned but the rice was undercook and was hard to chew. The tortilla was not warm so the taco fell apart when eating.

    We had come here on a haunted pub crawl and have been back a few times after that. Every time, we opt to sit at the bar. They have house infused liquors, build your own tacos, nachos or bowls and every time I'm impressed. This time I remembered to take pictures. I built me a bowl this time with jalapeño lime shrimp and blackened cod with all the trimmings. My friend got 3 tacos and could only eat 2 because they are double wrapped in corn tortillas. We tried the freaky tiki and the figgy bourbon. All was amazing! Love this place and the staff are awesome!

    Nostalgic spot because I used to go to their NH location. The waitress was nice and the inside was their classic fun vibe. The queso's were not as good as I remembered at their NH location but the tacos were better! I love the stoner shell with all the toppings and steak

    My favorite for tacos. Always fast, so many variations to choose from! The drinks are interesting and tasty. Parking can be tricky but it's free after 6pm on the street. There's mockcocktails for non- drinkers. We originally came here as part of a haunted pub crawl and have returned multiple times. I do the build it yourself tacos. The salsa are really good. I had the Figgy Bourbon and Freaky Tiki, both very good but Figgy wins the best cocktail.

    Our server Nelson gave us the perfect drink and appetizer suggestions for lunch. Tacos were incredible, margaritas were delicious, and the service was fast, friendly, and helpful. This is our third time trying Barrio on our visit to Salem, and they haven't disappointed yet!

    Life.Changing.Tacos! Yup, they are that darn good! Came here for a lunch date on Friday afternoon. We started with some of their signature margaritas, which were interesting and refreshing! Then we tried the trio amigos, balsamic glazed guacamole with sundried tomatoes and artichokes; it sounded weird but worked very well. Salsa Roja was as expected, I might have liked a bit more heat, but that is on me for not asking, and lastly in the trio we tried their corn salsa, out of everything in the trio this was a big miss and should be avoided, sorry Barrios! For tacos, bus and I each had one of the selections, in their unique combo shells, I was in HEAVEN eating this. Then, we each created two tacos from their unique build-it-yourself menu. What a fun, interactive idea. I couldn't finish all my tacos. But days later, I am still drooling over the well-seasoned, very well-cooked tacos. Service was exceptional. And just take a look at the decor; it's so much fun. We will be back, probably sooner rather than later!

    This place looked really cool. Very trendy. But the meat didn't have any flavor. Both the beef and the shrimp were not very tasty. We tried to get a street taco and it was pretty bad. They 'El Jeffe' wasn't horrible, but you taste just the hot sauce. It was pretty quick, but a bit more style over substance.

    Stopped here on our way through Salem on a road trip. It was a late lunch, early dinner so it wasn't busy...which I enjoy. The vibe was good and the theming was on point. They had an option to create your own taco, or you could pick from the signature ones. Either way, you can't go wrong ‍. The only part I didn't love was the drink, I had the elderflower Fresca and the only flavor I could taste was lemon, so I didn't love it.

    I usually avoid leaving negative reviews, but I believe in being transparent since it really helps others decide where to eat. So here's my experience: My husband ordered a build-your-own taco with flap steak--he got four fried tacos. Unfortunately, the meat was tough, dry, and fell apart; to me, it tasted more like beef jerky than steak. My friends and I tried the chicken taco with fried taco shell, flour tortilla, and chorizo. It was okay, but not something I'd order again. I also had a side of rice and black beans, which was decent but quite small. On the bright side, the drinks were good, the staff friendly and attentive, and the place had a cool vibe. Next time, I'd likely stick to tapas and drinks only. I am Mexican and the food is as more like a fast food Taco Bell.

    Chips and 3 dips
    Jenn R.

    Second time here and was actually surprised at the service but I will get to that in a second. Ambiance is super cool and is what drew me into the restaurant the first time I went. The food is what brought me back the second time. We got the chips and 3 dips (a pineapple guac, queso blanco, and buffalo chicken queso) red sauce is on the house so we got that as well. All delicious! Our drinks were awesome too. Waitress was great at the beginning and then disappeared for like 20 minutes. We had ordered a second round of drinks and she never came back. Even the table next to us had the same thing happen to them. She finally came back, we asked for the check and she said she had just rung in the second round of drinks. We said ok that's fine. Waited another 15-20 min for the drink to arrive and again to pay for the check. We wanted to eat more as well but the service made the experience frustrating. Definitely not writing this place off, but hope that was just a one off and not typical.

    Coming from Texas these are by far the worst tacos I have ever had. Taco bell makes a better taco than these.

    I'm honestly surprised by all the good reviews, do y'all not have tastebuds?…read more I love tacos. Love is an understatement. This was so off putting I refused to finish a taco out of my 3 taco meal. Played it safe, got the ground beef. The taco was greasy despite having the double tortilla layer which it had soaked through. The taco meat was very bland and there was a funky sweet taste to it, maybe because of the chipotle aioli? No cheese. No hot sauce. Between the texture and the taste, there was no way I was able to get past a couple bites. I thought the chips and salsa would be my saving grace, however there was zero salt on the chips and the salsa was just their pico de gallo. The pico was super watery and tasted like bland tomato water. No salt or flavor in there either. In addition, you can get a pretty good idea about a place's cleanliness based off what you can see going on in the kitchen. The cook was wearing gloves while scrolling on his/a phone and didn't change those gloves to make our food. Additionally, he went to the restroom with the gloves on and while he wasn't wearing by them when he came out, but it wasn't long enough thoroughly wash your hands. The staff were sitting on the stainless steel counters where meal prep is done. Just not a place I feel comfortable eating.

    The one overarching adjective I have for this place is "solid." The tacos here aren't cheap, but…read morethey don't skimp in ingredients and for all of the tacos we ordered, we received solid, convincing pieces of meat. From the lobster to the shrimp to the fish, everything was so fresh and high quality that we were extremely impressed. Don't expect "authentic" Mexican tacos. These definitely have their own take on them - Baja California at times, New England lobster roll at times. But all extremely tasty, to the point I'd consider making a drive up here from Boston because the food is just that good. The real standout in our lineup today was the grilled corn. Don't miss it - we had a great time and can't wait to come back and sit in the bales of hay outside!

    I know I know. I already have reviewed this place a couple of times…read more I don't even know why other Mexican eateries open up in Beverly when La Vic is here. Every local gets food here. Every one. The food cannot be touched. By anyone. Enchiladas are great, burritos are standouts, brisket in anything tastes so good I you would think I'd made it. So tender so good not fatty at all. Truly, it's just great. And busy and packed and not cheap but not expensive either. So good. We go twice a month and have been since it opened. Small hole in the wall, takeout, and consistently good and busy. Go here. You will not be disappointed.

    I was visiting from out of town, and my family recommended this restaurant. I ordered the torta…read moresteak con queso, a Mexican steak and cheese sandwich. It comes with lettuce, tomato, chipotle mayo, pickled onions, avocado, jalapeños, and pureed beans. I opted to omit the avocado, jalapeños, and beans. The sandwich was super flavorful and delicious. I usually don't like red onions, but the pickled onions on this sandwich were a tasty touch. Next time, I'll be getting extra onions--it was that good! The food was well-packaged, seasoned perfectly, and served hot. I was initially hesitant because I'm not usually a fan of Mexican food in the U.S., but they did a great job. Ten out of ten, highly recommend!
