| - I CRAVE barrio. Mexican food is my favorite, and barrio is my all time favorite restaurant.
The ordering style is the bomb. The menu is set up where you bubble in your choice of shell (or lack there of), protein, toppings, and condiments. Then you just had it off to your server. No explaining "*86 this," "add this," and no chance of your order getting screwed up. I wish ALL restaurants did this.
The food is phenomenal. I don't really know any words to describe it, but again, I literally crave it. Everything on their menu is pretty simple, so you can mix a lot of different things without getting overwhelmed by too many flavors. Their table salsa that come with the complementary chips is really awesome as well. Their chipotle creama sauce is on point.
I haven't delved too much into their drink menu, but every time I go there I get their el diablo margarita. It's some bright lime green concoction and I have no idea what's in it or what flavors I'm tasting but it's the best mixed drink I've ever had.
The patio is really cozy, and they have a little fire pit that's very nice if you're lucky enough to score the one seat in front of it. The inside is a little cramped and the decor is a little much for me, hipster in vibe but expected from Tremont. Also typical of Tremont, it tends to get very crowded which is something I hate so I only go there for early brunches on the weekend. That's just a personal preference.
Never had bad service there, the staff is pretty friendly and upbeat and accommodating if you need something. Our wait times are always extremely minimal but again we go right at opening.
The prices are great for the most part. 2 tacos fill me up and cost only a measly $7 for that. I ALWAYS order 4 and take two to go for dinner. The drink prices are meh but on point for the location.
My only gripes: the charge for a side of rice or beans is pretty ridiculous. You get a condiment cup size of either for $1 which is really lame given how cheap both items are to prepare. The last time I had the beans they were too salty for me to even stomach. I also found my last visit that the shredded beef was over salted too, but we visited again today and the beef was perfect.
Oh, also, my husband who equally loves barrio tried something off the brunch menu (don't know what it was called, I think it was just a taco with egg and bacon) and said I wasn't missing anything. I want to try their french toast one of these days because it sounds amazing but I'm rarely in the mood for french toast when I go to a taco joint
