El Barril Mexican Sports Bar & Grill

Great food, great service! Friendly staff! It is nice to have a good Mexican place nearby when in a small town. I prefer El Barril to Don Rigos. Every dish I've had there has nice flavor.

Ambiance is perfect for this amazing Mexican sports grille in New Richmond! We have been to 4 of the 5 restaurants that owner Juan Mendez has in the Cincinnati area, and this was the first time coming here! As usual, he offers an eclectic menu here, and the food was phenomenal. The ceviche tostada was crisp and light, punching your mouth with flavor. My husband ordered a steak torta, which was prepared perfectly and had a wonderful flavor. I ordered Burritos Barzon, which was the perfect elevated comfort food. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and the sauce was SO good.Truly grateful to have this place to add to our foodie adventures on repeat from this point forward!

Stopped by for the first time while driving through the area. The ambiance is typical Mexican vibe. We were seated immediately & fresh salsa/warm tortilla chips were placed in front of us. Since I had munched on a lot of chips & salsa, I decided to order an appetizer, Tostadas Ceviche. So glad I did because it was DELICIOUS! Hubby ordered the Burger & Taco Combo. He got a steak burger with fries & chose a steak taco & carnitas taco. I ate half of the steak taco & it was good & authentic. He liked the steak burger, fries & tacos. Our server gave us excellent service. A 3.5% discount is offered on your bill if you pay cash. We would definitely return here when in the area. The prices are great & the food is tasty.

If you are camping in New Richmond, this place is convenient and decent. We were there on Cinco de Mayo, and it was crowded, but we were seated immediately. The bang bang shrimp tacos tasted good, but only had three shrimp per taco. The margaritas were average, and were served in plastic cups. The waiters were excellent!

My favorite Mexican spot now in a new location. Can take out drinks! Food is always great and one meal lasts me for several.

Good "Americanized" Mexican food in New Richmond Ohio by the Ohio river. Just stay away from their 'cheese sticks'...

What happened to all the servers they had in the mornings for the lunch rush they went from 5 servers to just 2 There used to be two servers , male and female, that would always greet us with a smile. Alex and Lauren or Laura, do they still even work there ?now when I go, it's always the same young lady who does not speak english and always has a hard time understanding what im.ordering. No matter what it is, I order she gets it wrong. Her personality is dry and almost never checks on us. We were there Friday, and she constantly had to have someone help her translate even the simplest thing. I asked for hard tacos and got corn soft shells. My family,friends, and Co workers love going there, but they need to step up their game with more friendlier servers with friendly personality . Bring Lauren Laura and Alex to the morning shift, please!!!!Love the decorations and the ambiance.

Agree with the posts about the salsa. Campbell soup has more flavor. The only margarita worth ordering is the skinny. Tastes like a real margarita, the rest obviously are dyed. The positive is the food is typical Mexican. If you like chain Mexican restaurants you'll like El barril.

More cilantro than fish on the fish taco. No flavor to beans. Requested a michelada and got a pina colada. Asked for water 3 times that never arrived. Server was not able to look at anyone in our party.

Never had a bad experience here so far. Burritos, quesadillas, margaritas, everything is delicious! Staff is always friendly attentive to you, food is always fresh and prices are pretty reasonable for how much food you get. 10/10 recommend this place if you like Mexican food!
