| - I wanted to love Barrio, but it wasn't to be. The walls are uniquely and brightly hand painted with skeletons. The bar is small and was crowded by 6:30 PM on a Friday night, but bar service was quick, bartenders friendly and margaritas were quite good. My beer-drinking husband was surprised that the beer was served in a mason jar; I liked it with the margaritas, but agree not a good fit with beer.
I love tacos, but was surprised that that is all they serve--no burritos, quesadillas etc. and no fish. The guacamole was very good and the appetizer portion at $6 was enough for 4.
Two of us had the build your own tacos and 1 ordered off the very limited taco menu. Once we finally got a table service was quick. We did find the food to be good and fresh. I didn't mind filling out the order sheets, but my 2 companions didn't like it. We each had two tacos. Though the side dishes are small, with the guacamole appetizer, we were all quite full, so the $33 cost for food seemed quite reasonable.
We really didn't like the plastic spork that came with each meal - rather than being trendy and cute, I found it cheap, tacky and wasteful. Though we liked the food and atmosphere, at the end, all 3 of us agreed not worth the 20 minute drive + 45 minute table wait.
