We were coming home from a long day of driving and found this place along the way. To say it is…read morethe best Mexican restaurant food I've ever had would be an understatement. Everything was epic. We started with chips and salsa and beer. I wish I could remember the name of the young man who served us because he was a very good bartender and server. I ordered three different tacos and man, oh man! The cauliflower taco was hands down the best taco I've ever eaten. The lengua taco was just as good. The seasoning and accompanying veggies were the perfect ingredients for these tacos. The Baja shrimp tacos were good too, but not off the charts like the other two. The street corn was seasoned nicely and I enjoyed each and every bite My husband, who doesn't really like or eat Mexican food ordered the Philly Steak and Cheese burrito with rice and beans. He ate all of it, so I know it had to be good. We are already making plans to return, although it's over an hour away from our house. I'm excited to try other items. Barrios, thank you for the great food, the clean bar, and the excellent food. We look forward to seeing you again! And, we were aware of the upcharge for using a credit card, so there were no surprises as mentioned in other reviews.

It's time to update my review from 2 years ago! Yes, Barrios, you have a dedicated fan now! Since…read moremy 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!

Second time here. Claudia was my server again. She recognized me from my last visit when I…read moresuggested that she ask if i needed anything else before dropping my check at the table. Apparently, she didn't like my constructive and polite feedback on how to make more money so I could tell, she had a bit of an attitude. I ordered a three meat combo plate of carne asada, scallops, and shrimp. Everything was fantastic, especially the shrimp. Very unique flavors. After finishing my meal, Claudia cleared my plates and disappeared. It was another ten minutes of her standing at the counter or sitting in a booth drinking a soda and looking at her phone before she came over and with zero enthusiasm asked if I needed anything else. It's interesting because she had no problem joking with the locals that she wasn't even waiting on. I asked for the check, paid it and left. This woman needs training in how to provide good customer service to everyone not just locals. Other servers were busting their butts to provide great service.

I ordered the Burrito Mexicana with an added side of beans, my boyfriend ordered the spinach quesadilla and a margarita. All together was less than $35 at 12pm. Delicious and worth more than it was! My only complaint is stains on the wall and the watery salsa. Aside from that, everything was wonderful.

Anyway, going to give this a 3.75/5. The cheese dip, which is the favorite of the table (and our son) was not fully heated and seemed like it was missing something. Not sure. The rest of the food was generally good and cooked to order. The staff was friendly and quick to respond to anything we needed. The inside looked clean from the walk and sitting area we observed from. The parking lot was really bumpy through the entrance we came in - not their fault of course, just take the one entrance just past it and double back. If you have a kiddo just FYI we learned the high chairs were barely big enough for our 2.5 YO (he's roughly 30 lbs) - you may want to bring a booster or try to sit in a booth with them to the wall. We'll probably give it one more go to support something other than the 15 burger joints going up Emory, lol. SYOY!

While the food still could have been hotter, temperature-wise, I must say the chili rellaño tasted top-notch! La Casa De Burro Flojo serves the peppers stuffed with melty cheese in an egg-battered coating that's fried and covered with a mild red sauce. It's one of a few Knox-area eateries that "gets it right." To top it off, I could find no pithy seeds inside, as several Mexican restaurants fail to remove them. So I tip my hat to the cook!

The chips and salsa were awesome...loved the salsa!!! I had the chicken molé plate. It was flavorful and quite delicious! Wife had the beef taquitos plate. They were definitely home made, were NOT dried out or over cooked as is often the case, and were also very moist and tasty! The rice and beans were spot on! The price was very affordable and they had several daily specials listed as you enter. Also, generous portions!!!

When I paid it was $41.49, for some reason an extra dollar of tax and $1 for to go fee. I called 2 times to get ahold of someone to order and I said 3 times not hot. I came to pick up my order and was greeted when I walked in. The employees were all very friendly. I got my order and when I opened it I thought, oh crap it looks hella hot. I didn't want to have them remake it. So, yea... it was fire going in... and out... It was freakin delicious though and great grilled flavor. I will definitely come back but make emphasis on Mild.

They have a lengthy menu with a TON of options and the food definitely tasted like it was made to order. Everything was piping hot and had solid flavor. The beer was cold and while my wife was trying not to hold the fact they serve Pepsi against them a Diet Coke would've made it a five star experience. The carne asada fries were missing some pico as it's just meat, cheese and fries but aside from that everything was well-seasoned and legit. I had some taquitos and they were good and served with a guacamole salad. Solid little spot we'd revisit if we were in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to travel here for the food.
