Not only is it too expensive for simple dishes that really should not be over $10 but the supposed build your own nachos for $5 That was supposed to last from 6:00 p.m. till close were not available apparently and I couldn't even find anything that I genuinely wanted to eat the supposed menu is weird and I have no idea how I'm supposed to order with a freaking ticket like what? The menu was confusing as all get out the supposed deals for the weekend or after a certain time we're completely unavailable and some staff were just kind of like what the hell do you want? Gave the energy of I don't really care you're not one of my regulars you're not here all the time so I don't really care about you and it made me feel very unwelcome and the person I was with and I left without getting anything because we felt very displaced. Would love nothing more but to give it a try again I love to try places I've never been and would love to change this review into an amazing experience

I will never go to this Barrio location again. This is the second time it took upwards of 20 minutes for someone to even acknowledge our table. We ordered our food and it was the smallest portions I’ve ever seen. I know this will make my table sound terrible but we’ve been to different locations, multiple times over many years and never experienced anything like this.
One member of my table had no cheese on her bowl, when we asked the waiter to correct this, he inspected her bowl and pointed out one singular piece of shredded cheese and said “the kitchen went light”.
I ordered lettuce on my bowl and counted literally 5 pieces of lettuce. We asked for more and the waiter said “that’s really pushing it” and walked away.
We would have paid extra to have it corrected but we were not even given the choice.
Then when it came time to tip, he stood over us and watched as we paid.
I don’t expect to be treated like royalty but this was the worst experience I’ve ever had. Myself and the people I went with will never be going back to this location.

Tried 6 different specialty tacos with my girlfriend and we agreed it was the worst tacos either of us had ever had. Too many different competing sauces, under seasoned meats, and the side of beans and rice was just offensive in portion size and lack of flavor.

I’m here currently writing my review because it gets worse the longer i stay here , it’s been about 30 minutes since we’ve ordered our food, even before ordering our food it took our waiter took about 10-15 minutes to just grab our order paper to give to the kitchen. It felt like our waiter was purposefully ignoring us. Later on while our waiter was passing out our food he proceeds to spill the oils from my friend’s food on leg while reaching across the table. The best thing about this place was the music and that the cavs came back from being down 15+. Please if there’s ANY other option then pick it.

I am reminded why I only ever go to a barrio when it's against my will. The service was mediocre and my soda was flat twice. If I wanted to suffer this badly I would've found more ethical alternatives. 2 stars because the only positive thing about this place was the music/decor and the rice/pulled pork was decent. We watched another table walk out, should've joined them.
