Barrio

I am so impressed with Barrio. The service was hands down the best service I have experienced. The restaurant was out of 2 drink requests for my husband. Management went out of their way to ensure everything else was perfect to make up for it. I wish I knew the two ladies names, but they were AMAZING. Our server Dwight was also really great! Together they made it a great date night experience for my husband and I. The food was also really good. I would give the food 4 stars. The service and ambiance together knocks 5 stars out the park. I must say I am a huge Mexican foodie and it takes a lot to impress me, so one may even say the food is also 5 stars. Either way I would hands down recommend and will be back again.

The food here is absolutely immaculate. I got the quesabirria tacos in blue corn and they were so tasty, but I think they taste better in flour tortillas. As far as drinks go, you can’t go wrong with the margaritas. My only qualm is that the service was a little lackluster and we probably would have ordered more drinks if we had the time. For dessert, a nice port wine cleared off what was a delicious dining experience.

What an amazing place! Probably the best Mexican food that i’ve had in chicago! Great staff, nice , kind and fast service! No wait to get a seat at the bar. As to tables- usually 30 minutes waiting time. So recommend booking in advance. Nachos is a must have. As to the breakfast menu - omelettes and sunny side up options are the best!

Barrio is all you want in a restaurant. The staff are friendly, know the menu, and will make recommendations. The food is SO delicious! I last had the shrimp tacos and I was completely sassified. Delicious. The guac is everything and the drinks hit. The decor/ambiance is fun and delivers a vibe you won't want to miss. I adore the position of the circular bar where you can see most everything. Dining outside is cool, too, weather permitting. The menu is short but delivers. Barrio is perfect for any occasion and I live for their happy hour.

Our reservation at another spot got cancelled so we switched it up and tried Barrio and I'm glad we did. The atmosphere is on the dim side but I've always been a fan of that so it was great to me. The food was delicious, in particular the lobster quesadilla was phenomenal. I had the roja enchiladas and the sauce was so good. The rest of my group tried all their different tacos and loved them all. Cocktails they made were also very well done. Only issue was we ordered the tableside guac and instead they brought us their more standard guacamole. Still tasty but a bit disappointing that they didn't follow what we asked for. Regardless would definitely go back if craving Mexican food.

We tried the cornbread , churros and chicken (my fav) the burrito and the chicken tacos . The food was delicious, and the leftovers were too 😋 highly recommend the bottomless brunch. Staff was very friendly and accommodating as well. We were extremely late for our reservation but called and they accommodated us with no problem. Oh, reasonable prices as well, would definitely return !

When we went the place was pretty packed and the music was super loud, making it hard to talk at the table. The chicken fajitas were so so, but the steak quesidillas were absolutely amazing. The waitress got our order wrong and gave us the quesidillas instead of the tacos we ordered but we were happy with that mistake! Drinks were ok, nothing fantastic.
