| - I go out of my way to eat here. I stumbled upon this taco joint with my husband while in Cleveland. We were exhausted with the usual downtown Cleveland food scene, wanted something different and new, and found all that and more inside Barrio.
It's a build your own/pay per Taco menu situation, but the toppings range in typical to unusual and the end result is a tasty taco meal. In my experience they are a bit sloppy and wet, but I think that's part of the package. Don't wear your finest Haynes.
Take a paper menu, circle in all the topping that tickle your fancy and mark the number of tacos you'd like to eat. When they seat you, you get chips and salsa, so three tacos (@3.50 ea.) is plenty. You can add addition dips for your chips, but your tacos come in a timely fashion so don't get too full on the chips as they will offer more.
Order a tasty margarita to pair -- they come out in neat mason jars and are tasty. They have a pitcher option as well.
The servers have a funky flair, are quick, and offer their services if you've never been and need a bit of guidance on how to order or what some of the topping options are.
You can sit outside or in, I've had the pleasure of experiencing both. If you are not from Cleveland, or have never been, do not be alarmed as the bums do walk by, often offering to sell you a fake/plastic flower "for lovers." Take it in. Don't let it ruin your experience. All cities have it. If it's something you don't want to see, even though you are right outside the Q, sit inside and enjoy the scenes of Cleveland after.
You're gonna be full and you won't stop even when you are. Take it all in because it's a funky little taco shop. You'll fall in love. Sloppy taco and all. We did! (We did not buy a flower "for lovers."
