Sara C.

Absolutely BOMB!! A rare Caribbean gem outside of Queens/Bk.. they're open until late LATE! The meal we had was delicious. We ordered the busupshut & dhalpuri roti along w/ chicken curry-- not spicy & came along w/ channa -- excellent flavors from Trini-- felt like I was back in Ozone park stuffin my face again. We also ordered the side of spicy jerk chicken -- still tender & flavorful at 11p!! Fresh& hot food, clean spot. Family owned. This is my go to when we visit. I'm drooling thinking abt the food & writing this review

Jerk Chicken (Legs&thighs).

100% coming back again, definitely try this place out. Went in expecting regular Caribbean food, and finished wishing I had more. Everything tasted fresh. Jerk chicken was bbq'd nicely and seasoned great. Had that compounding spice that had me sweatin just the right amount. Mac and cheese was awesome. Perfect texture, not runny or chunky, just right. Not sure what the spinach dish was, but was like creamed spinach with no cream and great spices. Enjoyed it very much. Service was quick enough. Owner gave good vibes.

There aren't too many Trinidadian spots in Cleveland, so Callaloo filled a large hole in my heart. Kelvin, the owner, was lovely and gave me massive servings for my 13 dollar vegan bowl. I'd never tried callaloo (the stew of greens) before, but it was delicious with a kick to it, and the okra, cabbage and chickpeas were fire. My friend also liked her jerk chicken (which was also MASSIVE and lasted her at least two meals). Will be back for more!

10/10 recommend! Everyone was kind, the food smelled and looked amazing, fresh. Demi he ours portions but very filling! Normally not a fan of Mac but something told me to get it and I like the "twang" this dish had! Would suggest!

Barroco - Ropa Vieja Arepa

Barroco

I love this place but the in the menu has to go back. The coke cola chicken and steak fiend rice…read morehad to be on there! Hands down the best!

I had a lovely V-day dinner with my beloved at the Larchmere Barroco but Barroco always has great…read morefood and atmosphere. Very sadly, I just saw that the two other locations are closing immediately, just 1 day after our Valentine's Day dinner at the Larchmere location - now officially, the only one left standing. The Lakewood Barroco was in my top 5 favorite restaurants in all of Cleveland and I am super bummed. I hope this last location will stay open for a very long time. As for the Barroco food, it was superb. We went all out and tried a few things on the menu. We aren't big drinkers but I sipped on a strawberry mojito with lots of real strawberries throughout ($14) and my bf enjoyed the "Iguana," a pretty little rum cocktail ($12). We shared the shrimp device and tostones appetizer ($18). The tostones reminded me of a structurally sound latke, or potato pancake! Our shrimp ceviche was doused in lemon juice and mixed with lots of healthy vegetables. This was large enough to be an entree for a healthy eater! However, we still had lots of room in our tummies and we each got our own main dish. I stuck to the arepa and yucca fries combo I love so much, although I switched it up and ordered a different arepa than my usual. I liked my "Ropa Vieja," or braised beef arepa ($22), fine but I prefer my usual pulled pork arepa much much more. The braised beef arepa was like a sloppy Joe in an arepa. Made for pretty good leftovers though! My beloved was feeling adventurous and treated himself to a nice and fatty cut of the Carne Asada and Calentado entree ($38). After tax and tip, our bill was a hefty $130 for the two of us. I'd say that the food, the service, and the ambiance made it worth it though and I hope it continues to stay open so we can come back!!

Besides the wait the tacos were great. Warm food nice chips and guacamole. Good service nice peopleread more

Barrio is slipping further down the hill. It was once such a vibrant, zesty, and fun experience…read more I've gone here for years. My last few visits were just awful. Terrible quality, service issues, long wait. It's nothing like the original Barrio. Like I'd love to support local and Barrio, but it's now consistently a horrible experience. This time, I arrived during the early afternoon when the place was almost empty. Ordered queso blanco, sassy pineapple drink, and tacos. Sassy pineapple was extremely diluted equivalent to drinking water. I don't know how serving something so watered down is acceptable. I waited patiently for tacos and received unexpected tacos - 3 instead of 4, hard shell instead of soft shell, very soupy. I don't know how the order derailed because there were only a handful of people in the establishment. The order was most certainly not mine, but they never found the original owner. The wait staff was nowhere to be found so when they eventually arrived, I just asked to pay out and refused the order of tacos. There was no "sorry" or offer to fix it. I went next door and supported another restaurant. When I announced to them I'll be doing that, they were very supportive. Barrio is just a huge disappointed. Wait time and service friendliness improved a tad bit but the quality is just awful. No offer for service recovery, no attentiveness, wrong orders and terrible drinks. I won't be dining here again. I'm sorry to see the establishment deteriorate and hope the ownership improves the experience. Cedar Fairmount has plenty of quality restaurants. I'm sorry to say that Barrio isn't one. Terrible decline. Support other restaurants in the area, skip this one
