The taste was standard, but the thing that stands out most is the quantity. Loved how generous they were with the fix ins for the tacos and all the toppings you could add--including guacamole (no extra charge like how they do at chipotle). My 2 tacos ended up resembling a taco bowl. The chorizo taco was well seasoned. 4/5 The shrimp taco was okay, decent but probably wouldn't get again. 3/5 The tostada had that good thick buttery bread, honestly could eat that by itself. Picture doesn't do it justice. 4.5/5 Enough seating indoors. Definitely appreciate the salsa bar, which had plenty of salsas that had a spicy kick, but also pickled onions and peppers. Parking available as free street parking outside. Definitely will consider coming back if I'm craving Mexican food.

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!!

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

Service? Let me tell you. The moment we pulled up, the owner…read more(Callaloo) was on the patio geillong up something smelling sweet & smoky with ths delicious aroma drifting into the evening air. He looked up with a broad grin and, in a warm Trinidadian accent, waved us toward an open spot beside the building. His welcome was so easy and sincere it felt less like arriving at a restaurant and more like being invited into someone's home. My girlfriend, her friend, and I were on our way to the Larkin Poe show at nearby Cain Park and decided to stop in first. Inside, we stepped into a tiny, cozy dining room--more postage stamp than restaurant--washed in bright Caribbean colors that seemed to glow under the lights. The walls, the warmth, the close quarters all gave the place an easy, island feel, as if Ohio had briefly slipped away. The music sealed it. Rhythms from Kes, Tano, and Full Blown rolled through the room, lively and unmistakable, bouncing off the walls and threading through the chatter. Every detail--the beat, the spice in the air, the easy laughter, the genuine hospitality--worked together so naturally that we couldn't help smiling. Before the first plate even arrived, it already felt like we'd been whisked off to Trinidad and Tobago. I ordered a side of jerk wings, my GF ordered fish tacos, amd her friend a burrito. I haven't had jerk this deliciously hot since my days at Brooklyn College and stopping on Flatbush for Jamaican food--but this was the first time a meal in Cleveland made me feel like I'd been dropped straight into Trinidad and Tobago. I will definitely be back for more. Save your appetite--this is the kind of meal that is truly memorable.

It has been on my want to try list for a while and, thanks to Too Good To Go, I snagged a mystery box of leftovers for $7.50 (retail states it is worth $21). It was hard to find a parking spot but once I did, I went inside to pick up my order. I was the only one inside but soon enough, the owner came out to greet me and pack up my surprise order. I just asked for no fish and he then asked if goat was fine. I was hoping for chicken in my box, but I didn't want to be too needy haha! I paid for a personal pie as well and head out, looking at my box once I got to my car. I was happy to see a generous portion of rice and beans but was a bit bummed that one of the two sides I should have gotten was missing. See picture. Upon getting home, I ate my "mysterious meal" and while I enjoyed the curry goat, rice and beans, and curried chana, I would have definitely chosen different things for myself, like the mac and cheese and the bone in chicken! Ah well. I guess I'll have to go back! I did enjoy the goat more than I thought I would have! Sadly, the pie crust of the sweet potato pie I got ($3.50) had that freezer taste. The filling itself was good but I was disappointed by the too long in the fridge taste of the crust. It was also a little too expensive for its size. Would not recommend. I'll pick up a mystery box again in the future for sure, but I doubt I'll get a dessert again.

I've tried nuggets from all fast food chains - I dare say this rivals the Chick-fil-a ones, especially if you like yours crispier, more breaded and with some light spice/flavor in the breading. The chicken nuggets were shockingly good and amazing with the jalapeño honey mustard or fire ranch. Parking is easy to find, but we went at 7pm on a Tuesday, and it was drive-through only which sometimes happens (I assume due to staffing issues), but the staff working today were kind enough to let in people who need to use the restroom. Definitely be prepared to wait in the line that often is there for at least 10+ min. Also FYI, If you download the app, I think it comes with a free coupon right now for a choice between the beefy burrito, cantina chicken taco, or beef taco.
