    Staff was very friendly and we were always checked on. If you like authentic Mexican food then this may not meet your expectations. Food was good, but we thought lacked a little salt, lime, etc. We (2 people)had two chicken empanadas, ceviche, table side guacamole, and shared steak fajitas. Blue corn tortillas were great & steak was cooked perfectly. It was very lively, so ambiance and staff were great 10/10. We thought the food was about a 7.5/10 due to the flavor.

    The ambiance at Barrio is fun and lively. The service by Michael was very good. The food was good but not great. The Carne Asada was too salty and the skirt steak was overcooked. I advised we were celebrating a birthday on line and to our server. I was hoping they would have presented something for the birthday girl but they did not.

    It was a Monday, so I have no idea how the noise level would be when the restaurant was crowded. But the food and service were both great! I had the steak fajitas which were among some of the best I ever had. Happy Hour marg specials were great, and our server was very pleasant and suggested different things on the menu.

    Friendly staff, tasty brunch and drinks. A waitress saw my interest in Frida Kahlo and took me to view the bar (that was closed) behind the restaurant. That was a really nice touch! thanks! We really enjoyed ourselves.

    Everything was great ... I do think $11. per person for guacamole with a minimum of 2 orders = $22.00 is a bit outrageous. Your guacamole is delcious ... but not at that price point.

    Fun restaurant, went with friends and had a great time. Energetic restaurant with very good drinks. Food was a solid B, but nothing special.
