Barrio - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Barrio is always a nice spot for a drink and some tacos. They offer all of their tacos al a cart so you can order as many as you would like.

We tried the pork belly taco, shrimp taco, gringo taco and the fish taco. We enjoyed all of them except the fish taco was a little on the fishy side unfortunately.

The ceviche was excellent though, super fresh and full of bright flavors.

They have a nice selection of cocktails as well as beer and wine.

Definitely worth a stop!

I got the steak burrito and it was delicious! Perfect meal for lunch. I will be returning here! It was super packed, so it’s a popular place for a Saturday lunch!

Barrio has a nice atmosphere for having some drinks and their salsas, guac and chips were all good. Their food menu could use some work though, especially for the prices. They serve tapas style, which is fine, but there was nothing that sounded particularly appetizing for dinner. I decided on 3 tacos - mahi mahi, steak, and pork belly, and they were probably about 3 bites each with store bought tortillas. The meat was average, but scant, in all of them but the tortillas fell apart and for $6 each I would expect better. Drinks were around $15 each. The servers were friendly and very attentive but the food wasn’t worth the price for dinner.

I've eaten at Barrio and ordered takeout and I both times now have left underwhelmed. The food seems woefully overpriced for the mediocre delivery and portion size.

I did not enjoy the quesadilla, I thought the cheese did not vibe with the rest of the dish by anymeans. The queso Oaxaca was a nice authentic touch but I felt it did not fit with the chicken.

The chicken enchilada was tiny as heck and lacked any flavor. The eighteen dollar price tag is frankly ridiculous for the portion size. One should be wary ordering this dish.

The Wood Grilled chicken plate is another unconscionable portion size for a dish completely devoid of flavor. I found nothing enjoyable about this dish.

Fresh Corn Chowder: I have been harsh in this review but the corn chowder has my highest praise. This was the first dish I ate in my meal and I really thought the meal would be wonderful given the luxurious texture, incredible freshness, and perfect seasoning of this dish.

I support Barrios mission to serve authentic cuisine but I can't provide much for a recommendation given their miniscule portion size, their dishes lacking seasoning, and the pretentious feel of this institution.

I really like the vibe of this place. Had a flight of tequila, all had really distinct flavors. Food came out in tapas portions. Pork carnitas are the best I've had since my trip to Barcelona.

Very cool tequila and taco bar. Ordered two tacos and a tostada. The food was excellent, the black diamond margarita was so good I had to have a second. We sat at the bar and our bartender was hilarious as he made drinks and taught us about all of the 70+ tequilas they serve. Highly recommended.

I paid $10 dollars for a “habanero tamal” it takes 20 minutes to get ready when I saw it it’s so small… so small and dry this is definitely not a good place to get food 🍲 the onions on my tamal are not even cochinita pibil taste, even the name is in Spanish there’s no Mexican food I would never come back again.

Atmosphere was nice. We sat outside and enjoyed wine, gringo taco, and guacamole. The guacamole is not seasoned, the chips are fresh and the happy hour is very affordable!
