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!

This little hole in the wall stood out for the fact they have worked hard to turn a…read more"backrooms-esque building" into a solid little southern Mexican restaurant. 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.

They seemed to actually care that the place was clean. Second - they have decent margaritas! This has been SOOOOO hard to find in this town, and this is a big part of why they get 4 and not 3 stars! I want a good marg to go along with my Mexican food! I had the Spicy mango, and it was served on the rocks with a Tajan rim with fresh slices of jalapeno. It wasn't too sweet, and I really enjoyed it. The chips and salsa were average - but I've just learned if you want heat, you gotta ask for it. The 'salsa' they serve with the chips is bland tomato sauce - no spice at all. No depth of flavor either - just bland - which I know some people like. But they did have a hot salsa when i asked for it. I got a staple I love: Carnitas chili verde. It was just as I hoped - tender, saucy, mild heat. The rice & beans were flavorful as well, which was also a nice surprise. My husband got grilled fish tacos, and they were pretty basic. I kept reminding him he likes Cali style (with the spicy slaw), but these weren't that. Just some fish with onions and cilantro. So we will go back at some point. Barrios is still my go-to!

My husband had a side of refried beans which were awful too. The salsa that came out with the chips tasted like tomato sauce and ketchup. I had three bites of my food and left the rest. Honestly, I have never had worse Mexican food In my life. I've also never left a restaurant not eating my food. I gave them two stars because the staff was friendly. I honestly don't know how this place is open and has customers. I'm seriously astounded. :/

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. The salsa, they gave chips and salsa with a little thing of a orange salsa. I put a little bit in the regular salsa and oh man it was spicy but soooo good!

It has always came with rice and bread, but for some reason this time it didn't. Once we found out we asked to order rice and bread. At the same time we asked for plates and silverware because we were initially given 2 forks for 6 people and a platter with no plates. It took 20 minutes to get plates and those were the small side plates we got the rice on. We had to go to the front to ask for silverware, and again to get drink refills another 15 minutes after we finally got our rice. We didn't even get the bread we asked for. The server seemed new, which obviously is not a big deal, but it was an awful experience and if basic service for drinks, plates, and silverware couldn't be provided then someone should've stepped in. Management couldn't care less and 1 didn't even come to the table because he didn't speak english. I would hope this was a 1 off but sadly the amount of times the ball was dropped it wouldn't even matter. We came for my son's birthday this time and we kept having to get up just to get a drink or something we needed to eat a meal. It's just too much to ignore.
