    Another view of the smash burger taco

    Great vibe inside - love the big windows and natural light. Waitress was knowledgeable, attentive and cool. We didn't have drinks this go round but the food was delicious. Ordering is a unique experience - you have options! A lot of finger food, no "real" utensils.

    I am hands down a huss for tacos. I am a firm believer that even bad tacos are good tacos. Much like pizza. That being said, this was a solid place to scratch that taco itch. Unlike that other rashy itch you have. Get that checked out. It weird. The outside is inviting. Simple decor. Looks almost industrial. The inside matches exactly what the outside would make you think the inside would look like. If you follow me. Plenty of seating, no wait on a Friday night, open seating style. Style 10/10. I was super excited about this place because it was a build your own taco place, but it was done the cool way, with paper menus that you check off ingredient and shells and cheeses and meats. Then you hand them to your server and they bring them to the back and judge you while making you your only lettuce taco. Seriously. Why do you always order only lettuce. People stare. Ingredient choices 10/10. Now here's the rub. Unlike nine year old me, grown up me likes more than meat, shell, and cheese. I love sauces and things like onion and different cheese. The menu options allow you to basically go rogue and create the largest, messiest, most ingredient havingest taco you can think of. Though I didn't do that, I did certainly enjoy creating different flavors. I cannot remember how exactly I built the tacos, I know I tried the chorizo, season beef, and pulled pork. I also tried a couple of the double shell tacos (soft shell, queso, hard shell). Those were fantastic. I added different sauces and cremas. Loved them. I also even tried a little bit of their reaper sauce. My face is still bleeding. Flavor profiles 10/10. I would absolutely eat there again. Hands down. I would also spend as much money as they asked for on these tacos. Hands also down. Now I know what you're thinking. Hey BigBack™, if this place is so fantastic, why only the four stars? Well, I'll be honest, they did lose a star because the service was surprisingly slow to get the food. It didn't seem overly busy, it could have been a short staff night, they maybe only came to work with their B game. They could have been battling taco gremlins in the walk-in cooler. It's hard to tell. I get it, things happen. But ultimately, I think if that's the only hiccup in a place like this, that's not bad at all. FAT (Food Arrival Time) 6/10. Oh. They also serve Pepsi products. Pepsi availability 10/10.

    Outstanding vegan tacos, tasty guacamole and delicious drinks. Very good service with a fun bar atmosphere. Chips were fair!. Located off front street right across from Lake Michigan. Yummy tacos and drinks!!!

    We were very happy with the food. However, if you are over a particular age, expect a learning curve in ordering. Once we all ordered from the many options, we were ready to order complete the form (yes, like taking a test). The food took a while to come out (about an hour). We were not in a rush luckily and they were really busy with people were coming and going a bunch. Finally when the food came, it was delicious! The staff were really good and so busy! The prices were very fair too. We would all go back for sure!

    This place is an absolute staple. Always so good, always have a fun taco of the month to try out, and the food is ready so quickly! The staff and atmosphere is always kind and inviting and I have nothing bad to say about this place. I have probably been here close to 100 times in my life, and for good reasons!!!!

    This place was another 10 out of 10. Kudos to Barrio for clearly communicating their Gluten Free options. My daughter was over the moon excited with all the GF options and then they tasted even better than imagined. We had a great server who helped us navigate ordering (you order by picking on slips what you want or pick your own combination you want). Our server was awesome and took great care of us. We ordered a couple of mimosas as well as a peach whiskey...which were all tasty and well made. The restaurant has a "typical" Mexican vibe with the skeleton motif and such. Not my vibe but nonetheless...still a great place. Lots of seating, high tables, low tables, bar seating and even patio seating. We would definitely go again...we just wanted to try other places so we only ate here once. My kids did try and go again on Sunday night and order some take out but because they were so busy, they wouldn't let them order take out. That was a bummer and pretty disappointing. Which is why I only gave them 4 out of 5 stars. All in all...we would go back. Gluten Free people have a TON of options.

    I regret my decision to come here today. We waited over an hour for terrible food. It was inedible. Honestly. I ordered a soft taco with cola steak and when I received my taco the steak was so hard it had to have been sitting there all day. I spit out my bite because the steak was so dry it was crunchy in my mouth. This place is huge. There were several employees lingering around the register by the bar. There were more than 20+ tables and only 4 tables were filled. The server kept saying the kitchen was backed up and he had to go back and fry tortillas. If we needed something were asked to go to the bar where several other employees were standing around chatting.

    A great idea to have create your own taco. The menu comes like an ala carte sushi menu. If you stick with vegetarian it cost only $4. They also have already curated tacos I had one of those it was delicious. Huge drink menu. Friendly staff.

    Green goddess shell and short rib taco and behind is the ground beef one.

    We've seen barrio's restaurants in different areas and finally tried it. I'm Hispanic and SUPER picky about my Mexican flavors. I tried a custom taco with the green goddess shell (highly recommend this one) with the braised short rib (like a shredded beef),pico de gallo,cilantro and onion, barrio slaw and green salsa. It was my favorite. The taco costs $6.50 if I'm not mistaken but it's a good size at least. I got another green goddess she'll with their ground beef and the seasoning is over kill, very strong on the chili powder. Thankfully the lettuce,pico,creama and shell helped mellow it out but i wouldn't order it again My husband ordered a custom with the short rib and liked it and also got a the Jefe taco which he liked and I was pleasantly surprised. Do t bother with the side orders of rice or beans. They're the size of dipping sauces and cost $1 for ok rice and $1.50 for black beans that I really did not like. Service was ok Atmosphere is loud and has a cool vibe,very busy I'd go back for a short rib taco which is why I gave it 4 stars

    Omg our normal in town place was closed . While waiting for a reservation at a different spot we decided to walk around and heard the music and the buzz. We got in quickly (not sure how) this place is so cool! The staff, while crazy busy was extremely friendly. Our server was so helpful! The tequila selection was awesome. We ordered the trio and their salad verde and Roja were banging! So fresh and flavorful. The margaritas were amazing. The only thing that took a second was deciding how to build my tacos. Omg there are a million flavorful choices. Do not come here hungry it will take you a million years to decided. (There are no wrong combos). The tacos are super filling they DON'T skimp on anything! We love this place we will be back tomorrow!! Everything was top shelf!! This is a must in TC

    Best authentic Mexican food I have had in TC. Staff is very friendly. I will be coming back very…read moresoon!

    My mind was absolutely blown…read more I love Northern Michigan for a number of reasons, but I never imagined I'd include Mexican food to the list. This place definitely is an undiscovered gem. We ordered the fajitas, a burrito, and tried the famous white fish taco. I mean- White fish taco sounds good, but there was something truly magical about that experience. I'm struggling to put it into words even now. You just have to eat it to believe. Honestly, the location for this place seems terrible. You'd never know it was there unless you went out of your way looking for it. It's hidden in a largely empty plaza, and I drove the car past three times before we finally spotted it. We placed our order at the front before seating ourselves. The employees were incredibly friendly and helpful as we decided what we wanted to order. The food came out hot and amazing. Oh it was such a surprise and comfort. I just really wish they offered horchata. l was just really in the mood for a horchata to complete my meal, and this would make it a homerun for me. But the food was so rewarding, I can get over myself. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town. Baby Tag Along Edition: Bringing in a carseat for our little one was easy enough. There are tables inside to eat and plenty of space for us to bring the carseat inside with us. I only wish they offered the Carseat Cradle that would let baby sit with us at eye level.
