Was told about this Mexican restaurant by quite a few people, but I was very skeptical. Having had so many bad experiences with the other Mexican restaurants I had visited. Mexican food is big in this part of East Tennessee, but I was not impressed with any of it until I visited barrios… Real margaritas in real glasses! No Plastic here… Margaritas were made from scratch and they were excellent…. I had the mahi mahi fish tacos, and they were to die for!!! my guy had an enchilada meal and he raved about it. The street corn was a little bit too cheesy for me, but I mixed it with some of the rice and it was delicious. …

I’m always grateful to have such a delicious meal every time I go there! It’s probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Knoxville/Oak Ridge area.

When I first moved to Oak Ridge a few years back, Barrios was the very first place I had some food and a drink. It was good then, but now it has upgraded to the next level! I decided against another bar hosting trivia games and wanted to watch the Tennessee Basketball game! I could not have been more pleased than the warm welcome, putting the game on the TV for me, and a delicious margarita to top it all off…Barrios is top notch!!! I will be back! Service is as excellent!

We went there tonight for the first time in a while. The place is nicely updated with the addition of a new bar and outdoor seating. The food menu was nicely updated too, the menu stood out compared to other local Mexican restaurants. The food was great and everyone at our table raved about it.

I had a couple of tacos and the carnitas was fire! The hot chicken was meh but not bad. My blackberry margarita was delicious and the music was fun. Overall the food was phenomenal! I travel for work and was having a late dinner alone. It was perfect! I will be back!

Can't rate the food as m only time in the store is when I am Door Dashing, but I have watched this place build itself up. The bar is brand new and looks great. And the staff is always happy and very helpful.

10/10 this is the best Mexican food in Oak Ridge, and possibly the entirety of East Tennessee. Cannot recommend it enough.
