Veronica was so welcoming and nice, she was patient with me since it was my first time here. The food was also great and her suggestion for the Carne fries was a great choice!

We arrived around midnight on a Saturday. There was no line. We were greeted immediately with a smile. The food was ready in less than 15 min. The tacos and quesadillas were LOADED and delicious! There salsa verde is flavorful and fresh. The rice and beans were cooked to perfection. We will definitely be returning! This is my new favorite late night bite. WAY better than Taco Bell!!

Nice little place. Cool people. I had 1 grill chicken taco because it was pricey. But I was curious and wanted to taste what a $5 taco tastes like. It was dam good, fresh, probably one of the best I’ve had. I would go back but the place is out of my price range right now.

We are visiting the area and I felt like Mexican food so we looked up places and Barrio popped up as having good reviews. I don’t normally do reviews but this was honestly the best food I’ve ever had! Their food is all freshly made daily and it was amazing! Not only was the food great but the service was impeccable! We learned it’s family owned and some of the nicest people I’ve ever met! We will be eating here every time we are in the area!
