| - I came to Barrio for the first time today and had a great experience! Even though I am from California, I hardly ever eat tacos (I can probably count the number of times I've had tacos on my fingers...), but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked Barrio! When we arrived around 6:30 pm, we were told the wait would probably be 30 to 45 minutes but I think we ended up waiting less than 20 minutes before we were seated so that was a nice surprise :)
Our server Samantha was super patient with us (particularly with my indecision about what to order haha) and helpful in giving recommendations! My friend and I ended up building our own tacos. We also ordered the Vandermill hard cider and blood orange margarita. Even though I basically just randomly checked off ingredients to go into my taco, the tacos I had turned out to be full of flavor and very satisfying. I ordered a chicken taco, as well as a portobello mushroom one. Their blood orange margarita is also delicious! It was sweet (but not too sweet), refreshing, and tangy. I didn't think 2 tacos would be that filling, but with the chips and salsa before the tacos and the generous portion of the tacos, I was quite full by the end of the meal! I appreciated that Samantha checked in with us a couple times to make sure we were enjoying the food and even offered to refill our chips for us towards the end of our meal.
Overall, I am quite satisfied with my first visit to Barrio, and I'd like to come back in the future for happy hour! Happy hour specials include half off margaritas, $1 off drafts, and $1 off tacos, but FYI this is only if you sit in the bar area. Happy hour or not, the delicious food and great service make Barrio definitely a place worth checking out. As someone who would hardly be considered a taco enthusiast, I was impressed and I'd definitely love to come back again!
