Barrio Tacos

I can't find restaurants like this anywhere else. Barrio lets you choose from pre-made tacos or make your own with a large selection of shells, meats, veggies, and salsas. I recommend getting a taco with the Barrio slaw, trying their shrimp, and getting their queso with chips. We had great service after coming from an OSU football game even though the restaurant was not too busy. Barrio has unique wall art that was fitting for the establishment.

I just got takeout, but service was fast and super friendly. I'm always a little surprised by how intense the flavor is with these tacos, but the porkbelly kimchi taco of the month was amazing, and while I didn't love the La Tierra, all of the ingredients were perfectly well cooked and good separately. It just wasn't my thing.Shoutout to having an option for a literal side of bacon - I don't like cooking that at home and my diner has been on vacation, so being able to grab that along with my tacos was really helpful for the craving this week.

Everything was very disappointing. Food was very mediocre and oddly seasoned guacamole.

Barrio will forever and always be my #1 go-to place. I love the decor and the aesthetic. This visit, we tried the lobster queso with salsa and chips. The queso had fairly large chunks of lobster dispersed throughout, so it was fun to fish around the queso bowl to find them. I also got a frozen blackberry margarita, which was just what I needed post-finals. Our server was hilarious, and he frequently checked in to see if we needed anything. We went on a Wednesday around 3:30pm, so there was no wait. Can't wait for my next barrio trip!

Yummy, yummy, yummy, I got tacos in my tummy! Barrio is known for its tacos, tequilas, & whiskey. This location is on the corner of 5th & Grandview Avenues. There is limited off-street parking in the lot with additional street parking on the side streets. Even though it has been here a couple of years this was my first visit. I remember this building as the old Winking Lizard, and before that Hoggy's. It is great to see such an awesome restaurant here.Service was great (I think our server's name was Amelia). We started with chips and salsa and added the Queso Blanco (house queso). I personally was not a fan of the salsa as it had a bbq taste and not a tomato. My partner thought the same thing as well. For dinner I had one of each of these tacos:El Jefe Loco (flour+corn hard shell+chorizo+queso, spice rubbed chicken, fresco, smoked cheddar, pico de gallo, corn salsa, chipotle honey bbq, salsa roja).El Gringo (flour shell, chili-spiced ground sirloin, smoked cheddar, lettuce, pico de gallo, chipotle crema).And a build-your-own (corn soft shell, pulled pork cilantro-lime rice, caramelized onions + poblanos, pico de gallo, mango habanero).My partner enjoyed the El Pastor Bowl (pulled pork, cauliflower rice, pineapple salsa, cilantro+onions, mango habanero, dirty sauce). He loved the pulled pork and enjoyed the kick that the dish had from the mango habanero salsa.It was a great dinner and liked the build-your-own options.

I went to barrio tonight for happy hour. I got the regular marg with salt. And I got the chicken taco create your own. And the shrimp taco. I loved all the toppings I could put on it and all the different sauces! Service was slower that was the only thing that could've been better.

Definitely a new stop on our Columbus Taco Tour! Loved artistic decor throughout interior and the cool patio @ the 5th Avenue location. Parking is super easy. On the corner near the soon to arrive Hot Chicken Takeover on 5th.Their service and friendly staff were the highlight of it all. Amelia G helped us order a few favorites (Margaritas/Grouper/La Tierra) and navigate wrong place wrong time scenario! (`Will have to try university location next) . Margaritas are a must! A must have after a long day at the office!!! Flavored or not - your choice. We did house and they were perfect for our quick stop. After enjoying their fresh salsa or queso where chips were hot and tasty, You can choose Chef's favorite tacos or build your own. I had to try BOTH! Picked chefs favorite La Tierra and what a pick. So good! Marinated (in Coca-Cola) steak in a doubled soft+hard+flour+corn+wrapped taco w onions poblanos and portabellas. Had a great spicy secret sauce too. As for build your own they had 15 proteins to choose from ! Today they offered grouper and considering Amelia said that was her favorite- so had to try it. BAM! It was small but amazing. Should have had a few more. 3 cheese options and 11 sauces. You can definitely customize one to make your favorite. Appreciate the chance to try Barrio and for their great staff. Looking forward to going back and trying a different margarita and another 2-3 tacos. So many options! Thanks all and if you haven't been here.... Give it a try.

I've been to Barrio Cleveland We came after Buckeye game Got right in. Short staffed but food was phenomenal No pics cuz starving

I ordered a DoorDash delivery order which was fine but didn't get photos. My issue is something was very different about the Queso, and not in a good way. It tasted like very processed cheese but not really like a white Queso? And yes I did order the Queso blanco. It was more of a light orange color and I kinda had to make myself eat it. The chips were also VERY salty, making it even more difficult to want to finish this chips and Queso. Disappointing for sure as I know I have enjoyed it in the passed here. I also ordered a make your own bowl, and this was pretty good. I have also had their bowls before and knew what to expect. The too go bowl tho was cardboard on the bottom and did get pretty flimsy from being soggy so I had to transfer to another dish. Made for good leftovers as well.

The best pineapple margaritas I have ever had! And yes You can get it by the pitchers the food is delicious too the tacos are always well cooked and the queso is always super hot and fresh
