On the way back from the MSU game with my beautiful daughter, we stopped in at Barrio for dinner! This was amazing and the service was great! We will be back again! Cherish the moments with your kids! They grow up fast!

Queso tasted like evaporated milk with a bit of cheese in it. No flavor. When server asked how it was she acted surprised to hear it wasn’t good: she said she could have added something to it to make it better-) like what? It doesn’t come good on its own??! Salsa had a strange texture like too much tomato paste or something (I could not figure it out). We sat at the bar, and it wasn’t wiped down very well. The atmosphere was awkward; the bartender/ server was just sitting a couple seats away from us at the bar and it didn’t feel like we had any privacy. To end with something positive- the drinks were fine.

Fun place to go for great tacos downtown! And it's very close to the arena.

Barrio catered our wedding in September 2024 and the food was a hit! We got so many compliments. I would recommend Barrio to anyone that has a catered event.

I usually order for pickup, but love the food. The Barrio Box is a great deal, and plenty for one person. Friendly staff. Awesome place.

We got seated super fast. Fun atmosphere. Service was terrible. Noone came to greet us for atleast 10 mins. We ordered drinks. In the hour that we sat and ate, we never received some of our drinks... we even re- ordered and still nothing. The food came, and it was all wrong. They got it fixed super fast! The food tasted great! Just don't expect accuracy.....or drinks.

Such a neat little place downtown GR. A tad pricey....maybe slightly over-priced. But the food was tasty, the drinks were strong and the staff friendly and attentive. 8 out 10!

What an environment! I've been here before and the drinks were so good. This time I took my nephews and they thought the place was cool especially bc they were out past the dark rule. The walls are decorated and give cool, chill vibes. Menu for kids was fun too.

Chips and queso folks!! CHIPS AND QUESO always smacks. That and the bacon tacos are my recommendation. Be safe out there yall ✌️🫶

Tortillas were cold. The shrimps on on the tacos were just thawed from a bag, no flavor. The steak taco had literally 3 little pieces of meat. I would not go back, it is not worth it.

First time trying this place as my husband's coworker suggested it. It did not disappoint. Two of us had the rice bowls and one had tacos and everything was so good. Our server Sklyer was very helpful and attentative. Would definitely eat here again.

Every taco we tried was delicious. Between my husband and we tried 4 different tacos and most of the sauces and each one was better than the next. The salsa had a hint of lime and a slight heat but not spicy/ or hot to us, we were very impressed. My 3y old loved his tacos too. I would recommend trying this place.

Place is nice and clean. Has a cool theme for the restaurant. Drinks were pretty strong, that's a good thing. Definitely a hipster/white people college bar over a "taco" Place. Tacos were cold, overrated, and over priced. Definitely not a Taqueria by any means. Only whites put a hard shell in a flour shell. Didn't see any mexicans making the tacos.
