Holy yummo tacos! Today was my first time at Barrio in my lifetime. I know what your thinking, I've been living under a rock. My bother and sister in law rave about Barrio. This was the first place I suggested we go to together! Great choice on my part and great recommendation from them!
This new location opened up here back in January of this year so it's very new and very popular. I got here 450 pm and I'm glad I got there when I did. I got a table in the bar area and waited for my plus 2s to get there. It was happy hour! Bonus! Drink specials and 1$ off tacos from 4-7! Prime time! I don't drink so I cant tell you about the drinks but I can tell you about the food!
The waitress was so nice enough to explain the ordering process and the options available. There is a score card type sheet at the table and you fill out how you want your tacos prepared with all the fixings you want. So many to choose from! You are also given free chips and salsa when you sit down. Refills kept coming! I'm not vegetarian or vegan but the Thai chili tofu and portobello mushrooms sounded fantastic! I got a soft taco with Thai chili tofu with pineapple salsa apple jicama and sautéed peppers and onions. I also got a soft taco with portobello mushrooms with lettuce sautéed peppers and onions and cilantro pesto sauce. Love that sauce! Both were fantastic! The tofu was spicier than I hoped but the sweetness of the apple jicama and pineapple salsa leveled it out. 3 bucks a taco which was 2$ a taco during happy hour. There are specialty tacos for 4$ and up-charges for certain ingredients.
We also ordered the corn salsa queso and the traditional guacamole! Both were so good but the queso is top notch. Get it! You won't regret it!
The price is unbeatable during happy hour and regular pricing is not bad. 3$ or 4$ for a custom made taco with fresh ingredients made the way you want to?! Can't beat it. Of course the drinks will set you back some cash but better choice to come during happy hour. The 3 of us was only 35$ not including tip. Great deal
This is a great place to hang out with friends and family but it gets busy..like really really busy! Don't come here if you are in a hurry. The wait is worth it though so don't leave if you aren't in a rush.
Parking can be a biotch. Road parking and 2 lots but certain days valet starts ridiculously early for the brewing company and Sol in the back so parking spots are reserved. Bullshit. People aren't going there. They want Barrio yo! Come here Nowwweeee!
