Loved it.
Service was fast.
Food was very good.
I ordered Tacos (Tripa, Cachete, and Lengua), and a side of (very good) Guacamole. Tacos served with accompanying hot tomatillo and habanero salsas.

Yes, Barrios, you have a dedicated fan now! Since my last review, lots has changed about this place and only in a good way!
They added an outdoor, dog-friendly patio and a new bar inside. Each time I've come now, that place has been clean and inviting! The service has been great - prompt, attentive, and friendly.
But as a taco-loving Texan who now resides in TN, I have to say this is the BEST Mexican food in town. They have the best salsa, margaritas, and everything I've ordered, from tacos to brunch items to green chili has been yummy! While the salsa has been toned down for the 'can't handle the heat' locals - just ask your server for something else with more spice. They will accommodate you. There's some salsa Verde and tomatillo salsa that has a bit more kick and is my go-to! And they have corn tortillas too - you can just ask them to swap them out for the flour if that is your preference.
I promise, my partner and I have hit just about every Mexican place in OR - and he even agrees, Barrios is where it's at!

Made my own combo , got a chicken chimichanga, tamale (not pictured), and chile relleno. It was all very good. Nice clean restaurant, friendly staff, and the bar area looks updated and modern. Nice little hidden gem in oak ridge!
Great service and an amazing vibe!

I had BBQ carnitas nachos. Great flavor combination. My friend had chicken fajitas. Both were very good. Service staff was friendly and professional. Kind of a rustic decor. Will definitely visit again when we're in the area.
The food here is excellent and service is good. Well worth the visit.

Food was GREAT. Server was so kind but he was super busy and a little forgetful and slow to return. The food is worth coming back for!

Literally the Best Mexican Food in the Knoxville Tennessee and East Tennessee as well! My family and I love eating there because of how fresh and excellent the food is plus being friends with the people that work there as well.

Went to Barrios in Oak Ridge for lunch today because I have tried on DoorDash and fell in LOVE with their Mexican Street Corn and my husband loves their street tacos (Calle)!! If you have never tried Barrios or Street Corn, you've never had it this delicious!! Barrios is, hands down, the best Mexican restaurant in Oak Ridge! Do yourself a favor and try Barrios!! The restaurant is really nice too!! Great date night!!
