I first discovered this amazing Taco place two years ago and I couldn't be more pleased with the food and the atmosphere of the place on Madison in Lakewood,oh. So a friend and I decided to check out their Tremont location yesterday. We dined on the patio, ordered drinks and we started to notice that there was a couple with a small dog sitting in the lap of a lady while she was eating. As we looked around we could see several more guests with dogs. I think its a great thing to take your dog along with you places. But, to dinner on a enclosed patio ?? Then I started to notice a group of sparrows sitting on the string of lights above of our table and many other guest tables. Which was interesting to watch as they flew between people to get food on uncleared tables. But what caught me attention was the amount of dog hair that was on the patio floor and the bottom of our chairs ! It was nasty ... I took a pic for you to see read more

I've only been here once, and I'm kicking myself for not visiting again prior to all this coronavirus hullabaloo. I really enjoyed how they set the menu up - You could check off which tacos you wanted or even create a custom taco. It made ordering easy and fun, and I definitely ended up eating too much! I thought the tacos were fantastic, and they had a ton of great options to choose from. If you're looking for a great taco, this is the place to go. read more

Always a fan of Barrio wherever the location. I will say the downtown location in Cleveland is my favorite and much easier to park at than this one but this one is also enjoyable. This location is very small and you have to find street parking which can be annoying. If you are there in the summertime they have a lot more seating outside so you don't have to wait as long. The food quality is pretty much the same and identical to that of Downtown CLE in my experience. The queso and guac are always my go to appetizers. My favorite tacos to get here are to get the Bombshell taco (flour soft + corn hard + queso + crumbled bacon) and I add Spice Rubbed Chicken to it. I will say recently they changed their chicken from being marinated to being spice rubbed and so it seems a bit dry and that it lost some of it's flavor so I would make sure to add more toppings to get the flavors. read more

Before I came to Barrio, I first went to a build-your-own Mexican place in Columbus, Ohio. The following week I went here. While both places are very similar, Barrio stole my heart. Everything about it was just a smidge better than what I experienced in Columbus at Condado. Let me list the ways: 1) Despite being super popular, it was surprisingly easy to find seating on a Thursday night. 2) The taco in general stays together really well/all the filling doesn't poop out the other end immediately. 3) The drinks. Wowza. And such a steal if you sit at the bar! 4) Super casual in regards to clothing. No need to dress to impress and then spill salsa on your pretty outfit. 5) Parking, while mostly street, is easy. You won't have to pay or walk far to get to this Barrio location! read more

Bless you, Hipster Taco Joint. As with so many other ethnically-inspired eateries in town (I'm looking at you, Noodlecat, Choolah. Nothing but love!), Barrio brings modern foodie sensibilities to a traditional cuisine in the best possible way. I love choosing every last ingredient that goes into my tacos. I love even more that each one of those ingredients is fresh and flavorful. Every time I eat at Barrio, I leave feeling like I've had, all things considered, a reasonably healthful meal. For the price point, it's a winning combination and a fun night out. read more

If you're a Clevelander, you should be very familiar with this local chain. The food here never disappoints. The service at this location was nothing less than 5 stars. I highly recommend the queso and getting the green goddess taco shell. It has guacamole spread between a soft and hard tortilla. Like with any restaurant around Tremont, parking can be a bit tricky but should not deter you from going. read more

Went there for Cleveland taco week, this was the fav place we visited, drinks, tacos, and queso all on point.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. I guess it's always crowded because it's the cheapest, trendiest place in Tremont. I have a had time believing people come here for the tacos. I ordered two tacos, one pulled pork and one beef. I have never had such empty tacos. There were only two bites of meat on each. The beef was also sitting in a pool of tomato-y water. Not so yummy. Speaking of water, my margarita tasted like H2O. I'm pretty sure they forgot to add tequila. They also messed up my table's check, ringing up my credit card twice. read more

Barrio - Ahh the pool of water that my taco had been sitting in. Love soggy tacos... Just kidding. - Bars Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I would like to preface this review in saying that my girlfriend and I traditionally frequent the Lakewood Barrio. We go, on average, once every week or two and grab a couple tacos / margs at the bar. Up until last night, I've not had any significant complaints regarding service or food at any Barrio location, as it is typically fairly consistent and delicious. However, after my experience at the Tremont location last night- I may no longer be a customer at these restaurants. My girlfriend and I arrived around 10 PM, and opted to sit in the dining room due to the bar being crowded with patrons watching the Cavs game. The host was nice and our server was attentive and friendly, delivering our drinks and food quickly. Both my girlfriend and I agreed that the tacos seemed subpar to our usual standard at the other location. On my second of two tacos, there was an off taste to the red cabbage and the remainder of the taco in general was kind of funky, so I decided against finishing it. The remainder of last night into this morning, my stomach felt very queasy and off. No pain or further issues until this evening when I started feeling nauseous, which I didn't think much of as I am on a strict liquid diet today for a medical procedure I am having done tomorrow. Unfortunately, my nausea got the best of me and I ended up vomiting up both the contents of last night's tacos AND the entire finger-length of what I can only assume is a plastic food prep glove. Not only was this very shocking, it was absolutely one of the most disgusting experiences I have ever had following dining out in Cleveland. As someone who frequents as many local restaurants as possible, it was super disappointing to be on the receiving end of such an offensive kitchen mistake (and extremely dangerous health code violation) at one of the establishments I visit the most. Also, when I contacted Tremont Barrio in hopes of speaking with a kitchen manager or someone who could better elucidate my concerns, the phone rang and rang with no one picking up for minutes. This whole ordeal has left me feeling very upset and sickened at the thought of Barrio's kitchen service and company in general. read more

I can't get enough of this place! It is the bomb! They have the best happy hour that has $3 margaritas and $3 tacos. The green goddess taco is to die for. It's only $1 extra and it has a soft taco with guac and cheese sauce and then a hard shell taco in it. I'm so glad I decided to try it! Their house margaritas are really good but they also have a wide variety of other flavors. Since this place is so good, it is very popular and frequently busy. You can only get the happy hour deals if you sit at the bar or the tables in the bar room. It's worth the wait for a spot to open up if you get there and it's full. The bartender we had was okay, wasn't the friendliest fella but I didn't mind because the food and drinks did not disappoint. I was able to get a buzz and dinner for $10 - you can't beat it! I can't wait to check out the Lakewood location next. read more

Every year or so I decide to give barrio a try in hopes that the food will improve. I promise myself Every time that I won't return. Tonight we did. The food was not edible. I would describe it as terrible cafeteria tacos. Thrown together in disgusting and sloppy way. The drinks were also pure sugar. This place needs to take some pride in their work. The patio is nice, but people deserve better than that lazy attempt at tacos... which shouldn't be too difficult. read more

The taste is the same as the barrio in downtown. There is happy hour here, as oppose to the downtown (only available when there's no events--but I feel like there is always an event going in downtown). Free chips & salsa!!!! They have a new menu, I like the other items better, but it's still good. This time we got the la Tierra, chorizo, la Jeffa. The la Tierra was the best! We like barrios, it's easy, simple, and good. Both locations are good. read more

I don't know how anyone could not love Barrio. The DIY taco menu gives you the control to create delicious tacos. I've been here 3 times in the past three weeks because I cannot get enough!!! The atmosphere is casual and I have yet to be there when it wasn't somewhat busy. It seems like a local/after work crowd especially late night (after midnight). I would bump it up to five stars but the service is a little sub-par and slow. Also, sometimes the margaritas taste too much like the mix. They do have great happy hours! Okay, back to the DELICIOUS tacos: I have tried the chicken, chorizo, pulled pork, and beef. I have put together some not-so-great combinations but overall they ingredients are so good that whatever you put together tastes good. I recommend getting a specialty shell, they are a dollar more, but tacos are only $3 each which makes the extra dollar well worth it. The Green Goddess is marvelous as well as the Stoner(?) shell (the one with chorizo). My best combination thus far is the Stoner shell, with pulled pork, red cabbage, jicama slaw, and the ghost pepper sauce. It was so good I wanted to eat three more! They do have a menu of recommended combinations. Some of them are pretty basic and some don't really sound good. None look good enough for me to try. read more

HOLY GUACAMOLE, literally. I just wanted to update but I'm not going to lie, I fell in love with their CALABAZA PUMPKIN, BUTTERNUT SQUASH GUAC "spanish pumpkin, butternut squash, carrots, red peppers roasted with pickled serrano peppers & scallions; topped with pepita seed crunch" They always have some really cool guacs but this and maybe the watermelon have been my favorite so far. I can't wait to see what December brings. Get it Barrio! read more

I came twice and the margaritas sucked the same both times. As the signature drink, you'd think they would have googled a good recipe. The food was pretty good both times, although the first time was right after they opened and they no longer have that menu. They are definitely taking the a la carte/happy dog approach of simplicity, however it's kinda hard to decipher the different sauces and quesos. It's an awesome patio, of course, but I was a bit turned off by my server. I had the same one both times, and he mixed up the drink orders both times. Which is totally fine, I've served a lot, and messed up a lot. But own up to it and fix the problem. He tried telling us that all 5 of us were wrong and he was right. It was odd behavior for a person working for our tip. I think that is why I 2-starred this place. I might go back again in hopes of a more pleasant experience, but certainly won't be ordering the margarita on the rocks. read more

Met a client here, was highly recommended - and now I know why! Parking was a bit of an issue, only street parking available, and I was far enough down and off on a side road, didn't want to leave any valuables in the car :) We sat outside, our server was helpful but not over-bearing with it being my first time. The food was absolutely delightful - fresh, flavorful. My only regret is not being hungrier. I'll definitely be back! read more

I have to downgrade my review. Last time I was at Barrio, I would have given the place 2.5 stars. This time? Definitely a solid 2. My fiance and I stopped in for a quick lunch on Saturday. He'd never been there so we were pretty excited to try it out together. An improvement from my last visit years ago was service. Our server was very attentive and checked on us quite a bit...but the restaurant was pretty empty. We sat on the patio to enjoy the nice weather...but only heard the sound of a jackhammer on the patio next door. Oh, well. We ordered some drinks to try and make the ambiance better. My skinny margarita was...awful? I drink them just about everywhere I go, but it just wasn't good. It was extremely sour. My fiance ordered a regular margarita and it was pretty sub par, too. What was great was the traditional guacamole we ordered. It was pretty flavorful and the portion was huge. I ordered a hungry hippie taco - a suggested vegan taco on the menu - and then created my own tofu taco. Neither one was very good. I can take credit for my own creation being a FAIL, but a taco on the menu? Nope. Literally every component was cold. The same was the case for my fiance's meaty tacos. Who wants cold tacos? Especially when they're meant to be warm. Overall, this was a very unremarkable meal. I can honestly say that I'm in no rush to go back to Barrio, and probably won't go back again unless nothing else is open, someone else is paying, or I've lost a bet and need to eat cold tacos as my punishment. read more

So I walked in and went straight to the bar area. There's a "create a taco" booklet with pencils. This is where one can get super creative. I got the beef, steak and pork tacos. I really played mad scientist with the different toppings. Once done, just slid my order sheet to the bartender and waited for my tacos. I went around 3pm today (Sunday) and it wasn't a long wait at all. I was super shocked that I got full off two tacos...just imagine how I felt after the third one...oh boy! Didn't really eat one of them because I felt super bold and decided to try the ghost pepper sauce. Why you ask? Well 1) I like hot stuff and 2) I had it before, no big deal, right? Nope...lol, my server looked at me and asked if I was okay...I struggled to mention that "it's the ghost pepper sauce that has me crying". I told him that I had it before but on some wings, he told me that usually they sweetened it up but here, at Barrio, we give it to you straight. Surprise surprise, I felt like a wimp lol. I really like the décor of the place...skulls everywhere. No, I'm not being morbid, I just like skulls (sidenote: 90% of my tattoos are all skulls). The interaction with staff and patrons is decent. They're not rude, just it really didn't exist that much (hey I can't help that I'm a talkative person, especially when dining alone). I really like this place, especially if you are on a budget and down for some cheap eats and drinks. It really doesn't take much to get full either lol. read more

Always a great place! The tacos are delicious! Happy hour is cheap . Very great drinks! I love rt his place!

Great patio space! It's relaxed and comfortable. This was our first visit to Barrio. We loved the make your own tacos. Everything was really good. read more

Make your own taco, hmm... They have a number of different meat options - chorizo, beef, pulled pork, fish, chicken, tofu. Having eaten here twice I've tried the first four. Of the meats I tried, the pulled pork was definitely the best. It was tasty, cooked well and had a great texture. The chorizo was very spicy but tasted pretty good as well. And the beef was decent as well, though it didn't really stand out either way. Now the fish... well, honestly, I don't know what that was. We were given little cubes of what did not really resemble or taste like fish to me. You can add a number of different toppings and a couple of unique sauces. I liked both their cilantro/garlic aioli and cilantro/pesto sauces. Their flavored margaritas are pretty good too (I tried the mango). Though I would say either the alcohol flavor is masked very well or there is not much of it. The service was very slow. We ordered maybe ten minutes after our friends but got our food half an hour later. read more

Very average tacos and rather curt and unfriendly service at the bar. May have been a bad day. Just my experience.

Where to begin....? of course we showed up on a Friday night with no reservation. So we were expecting to get on a wait list. No problem right? 40 minute wait? Sure. My friend and I went on to the Chocolate bar and had a couple of drinks while the wait time flew by. 40 minutes passed and no call yet, so we walked back only to find out that we had to wait an additional 45 minutes!!! Fast forward, our waitress was AWESOME! I wish I could remember her name. I remember her having a short cut style with blonde-ish hair. Service was up to par. The margarita pitcher was fabulous. A little pricy though. But it was enough for at least 4 people. The street tacos are great, must try the steak with the red salsa and cheese!. The chorizo though? That was a bit of a disappointment. It had no flavor to it. I felt like I was having ground beef or something... just too dry for my taste. I tried to add some salsa and it was just no help. If you ask for a side of rice, expect to receive a 4oz soufflé cup :) just FYI. If I were to come back to Cleveland I'd probably swing by this place again. I'd probably not wait and hour and some though. Lol. Stars are for service and margarita!!!! read more

Build your own tacos for three dollars! They are two dollars during happy hour! This place is called the "Happy Dog of tacos" for good reason--you check the ingredients you want on a list, including type of tortilla and side items, and it is promptly delivered to your table. A common complaint I noticed while skimming other reviews is that the food is not salty enough. What? My tacos were not lacking on any flavor, and the other people I have gone with (have been here four times total) all agree with me. Excellent margaritas as well, with infused flavors such as pear, blood orange, and pomegranate. They are served in mason jars, which brings a little hipster class. The only complaint I have is one of the nights, our server was not attentive and kind of rude. It wasn't busy that night. Maybe she was having an off day. I'll let it go for now. When building your tacos, don't get TOO many ingredients. If your taco is soggy from piling on the sauces and salsas, you only have yourself to blame. read more

I cannot believe it took me 3.5 years to make it to Barrio. What the heck was I thinking? Happy hour was unbelievably great. Half off margaritas and $1 off tacos. I think I spend the same amount of money at Taco Bell, which blows my mind. Cary S. gave me the genius idea to get a half mango/half jalapeño margarita (on the rocks) and it was soooooo good. It was a perfect mix of spicy and sweet, but not too sweet like most margs can be. We ordered the queso with chorizo, which was absolutely divine. The three of us destroyed it in minutes. The salsa that came with the chips was particularly delicious. I can't say I get that impressed with house salsa as much as I did with this one. I created two tacos, which made me a little nervous cause I'm not the best at create-your-own foods due to my over zealous nature of wanting to put everyyyything on my taco/hot dog/burrito. I kept things simple, and my tacos were on point. Don't miss the green goddess (lives up to the hype), or the jicama slaw and red cabbage if you like crispy veggies. The Barrio secret taco sauce definitely had a great kick to it. The chorizo and braised beef were perfection. Seriously, if you like tacos and happy hour, you can't miss Barrio. I had no complaints with my meal. Service was spot on the we barely had to wait for our food. You will find me here every week from here on out. Pro Tip: Come here for weeknight HH. I once tried to grab dinner on a Saturday and the wait was over 3 hours. Welp. read more

The best location with the best customer service is the one downtown. This location isn't really welcoming or pleasant at all. I ordered a taco and queso to go. The taco was fresh and phenomenal! However, I am trying to figure out did I order soup or queso? (Pictures attached) I ordered the chorizo queso but when I opened it they failed to drain the terrible grease, leaving my queso tasting and looking like a greasy soup. It was awful! I will never return to this location or recommend anyone to this particular location. read more

I've been a huge fan of Barrio from the beginning. There are some critics out there. I hear about slow service, or incorrect orders. Frankly, even when things get jammed up and the kitchen takes a bit, I am 99% of the time super happy with our tacos. All of our servers at Tremont have been kind, friendly, and play along with my quirky 11yr old. I have not had bad service here EVER. But I dunno, I'm pretty easy-going and willing to accept that it isn't a robot working but another person who has their own life and bills and still sucks it up to serve tacos and tequila during a pandemic. So they get a pass. They get an express lane year long pass. Also, by the way, the Brunch BBT taco would have made the Brunchdame proud. (Today my code name was Louise Belcher ). I smashed it down before the thought of a yelp photo even flickered in my mind. And the loaded raspberry mimisso might have helped put me in the mood too. For the other parents out there, virgin margaritas are guaranteed to make your kids happy. Barrio, I love you, keep on being you. read more

Gabriella takes such great care of us every Sunday!! We look forward to seeing her every week.

I am more often than not disappointed by vegetarian tacos - they're typically boring and not very flavorful. But Barrio succeeded at making a delicious and exciting vegetarian taco that I'm already dying to come back for! The chili tofu was marinated and cooked perfectly. The sweetness of the pineapple was a delicious and unique addition, and I loved the crunch added by the cracker within the flour tortilla. They also have a build your own option which seemed to have lots of different choices. The atmosphere is also so much fun and would be a great place to go with friends. The service was fast/friendly and the prices are also super reasonable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Cleveland! read more

I've been here a few times and I think I've finally gotten in jive with Barrio. Drinks: Try the tequila flights. It's quite the deal! Otherwise the Margaritas are fine, but not overwhelming. Tacos: Take the time to think your tacos through. Every time I get something different and sometimes they are spectacular and sometimes, despite being filled with many delicious things, it just turns out "strange". I'm a big fan of the pork filling and the chicken. (Note: The Queso, though great doesn't go with everything on a taco I've found out...stick with the Manchuga and Chihuahua as they seem to mix better.) Apps: Every time I get the house queso. It's amazing. The Guacs are okay but underwhelming too. Staff: Barrio's finally gotten their staff in check. They're prompt, know their stuff and keep us happy. There used to be a lot of errors and kitchen mistakes but I've not been running into that as much lately. Atmosphere: Great! Eclectic, but not too much. The happy hour is only applicable in the front dining area - this does make me sad because they have an awesome patio. read more

I love Barrio for the specialty tacos and Bloody Mary's. You can easy build your own taco with a checklist and pencil. They have many specials with tacos and beera that are on tap. Huge selection. We had a huge group come in and our waitress was so chill and fun. She happily with the other staff set up tables outside and moved umbrellas so we didn't roast in the sun. It has a hipster feel to it. First time at this location I really like it. Parking was a pain especilly on a Sunday afternoon but that's the entire Tremont area. read more

Service was FANTASTIC! Food was hot, fast and delicious. Highly recommend!

Excellent food and atmosphere. My only issue was being charged an automatic gratuity to "provide a living wage" to your wait staff. I've seen such a gratuity for groups of 8-10 or more (we had 4 in our party), but NEVER have I seen the "living wage" phrase! Excuse me, but since when did it become the customer's responsibility to do what an employer should be doing??? I don't even know if our server received that gratuity in full, especially if the credit card fee was deducted first, which I've heard is a common practice. I truly believe that paying a living wage is important and support raising the minimum wage to accomplish that. So pay your servers better, and raise your prices a tad. Considering how crowded your establishment is, that should easily offset those additional costs, rather than making it obligatory for clientele. read more

Barrio's gives me life. You cannot beat the happy hour here by a long shot. $2 tacos and $4 mason jar margaritas. I have been to this place 3 times and I have yet to be disappointed. The food is always delicious and caters to any and every kind of food palette. I like the idea of filling out a card for what you want in your taco(s). There are so many combinations. My favorite has to be the braised beef in the corn tortilla with the corn salsa, onions, lettuce, and the cilantro lime aioli. Since it is so busy from open to close, it can take a little bit to get your tacos, but in Barrio's case that's ok because: 1.You can't rush quality tacos and these, my friends, are top quality 2.They give you bottomless complimentary chips and salsa while you wait. I haven't explored the margarita menu as much as I have wanted, but I do feel confident stating that the Jade Olmec has to be the best drink I have ever had. In my opinion, it feels like it is a cross between a mojito and a margarita. It is so refreshing and crisp. Keep doing what you're doing, Barrio's. read more

Barrio - Barrio Bloody Mary - Bars Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Wow was the food in this place a delightful surprise! I went on the recommendation of a good friend who used to live here, and it solidified that she really knows her Cleveland game. The decor is colorful Mexican kitsch, and there is plenty of outdoor seating. Given I went on a 91 degree day, I parked myself right inside in the A/C. Our server was very friendly and attentive. My star deduction is for cleanliness (we had to clean off the table and seats when we got there, and the floor was covered in broken tortilla chip crumbs). The food is phenomenal. We started with the Tuscan guac, which has balsamic vinegar, goat cheese and pine nuts mixed into the regular guac. I'm always hesitant to order guacamole because I hate cilantro (tastes like soap), but this was some of the best I've ever had. The balsamic and goat cheese cut the flavor of the cilantro so all you taste is vinegar-y, salty avocado goodness. I wish I had this where I live. The star of the show is the stoner shell, whether you order it on a suggested taco or make your own. There is a list of El Jefe's suggested taco combos you can choose from, or you can make your own. The stoner shell is a mix of soft tortilla and hard corn with queso and chorizo ALREADY IN IT BEFORE YOU EVEN PICK YOUR TACO FILLINGS. So good. A party in your mouth. There's also a bombshell with bacon bits instead of chorizo, but I didn't get to it this time. I made my own tacos, my boyfriend ordered 2 El Jefe suggestions, and we both agree the best ones are whatever goes into a stoner shell. Mine had jalapeno lime shrimp, chihuahua cheese, pineapple salse and mango habanero sauce. I died from the flavor burst. I was sad when there was none left to put in my mouth any longer. I wish Barrio would open a location in NYC. The food and drinks were all really reasonably priced. Tacos ranged from $3-$5 each depending on your toppings, and the guacamole was $7. Not bad for filling, flavorful food. I will absolutely be back on my next trip to Cleveland, and recommend it highly to anyone who hasn't yet been. read more

Having been to Condado in Columbus many times, I pretty much knew what to expect: día de los muertos style decor and great customizable food. Some notable advantages of Barrio are free chips and salsa, something Condado does not provide. The queso was also delicious. I had two tacos, one each with braised beef and the coca-cola marinated steak. They were both fantastic. Get the Green Goddess shell - it adds a lot. I also especially enjoyed the apple jicama slaw. read more
