You can tell he has taken the time to ensure he locates quality ingredients and follow after those who are making it the right way! After moving here 6yrs ago from Los Angeles, it's been extremely difficult to find quality west coast Mexican. The food is authentic as it gets for central Ohio. This food reminds me of Mexican that I would order in a regular in east Los Angeles, the mecca of real Mexican food. There are plenty of mexican restaurants in Columbus that are owned and operated by Mexicans but missing the authenticity Mexico and that truly comes from southern states that boarder Mexico. The owner is always there and providing quality service and always with a smile. The food is fast and you can tell they keep a clean kitchen which is very important. Plenty of seating in the food hall to enjoy this very awesome food! So if you can't tell already this is my go to for anything Mexican.

At check in, no-one acknowledged us (rough start) and pointed us to follow the host to a booth. However, our server was terrific. We explained it was our first visit, and asked if we had questions. We were not familiar with Barria, so she explained it too us and while she made sound very tempting we ordered plates we were familiar with with-Pollo Loco and some very similar. They served us tortillas with fresh Salsa and a refried bean dip ( really delicious). The food arrived promptly and was piping hot (the only way to serve a mexican meal). The food was fantastic and the server's description of Barria will have us coming back for a new experience. The decor is a little loud, but inviting.

There's also plenty of seating, and I loved the Mexican-themed interior decor, which made the place feel even more welcoming. It's a great spot for a quick lunch, and the mocktails were a nice surprise too. Our server made one that was flavorful and refreshing without being overly sweet. Definitely worth a visit.

As I started eating, I had noticed something seemed off and they had forgotten the cheese on my tacos! (Can't forget the cheese!!!)

Along with the AC being shut off, it was rather stuffy, but we were starving and thought we could tough it out. We received chips and salsa, and the salsa was extremely watered down. I ordered a large house. Margarita on the rocks, and ask for extra limes ( received lemons ) and the goblet had just come out of the dishwasher so my ice started melting but what really got me was it tasted like pure margarita mix, and so sugary it was almost undrinkable. They used to have good margaritas here so I don't know what happened. Our food came out rather quick however, I noticed the chimichanga I always order was much smaller, it was more like I got the lunch portion. The entire visit felt unwelcoming and extremely rushed to close up for the evening. As there are many Mexican restaurants out there, I definitely will not be revisiting.

We loved the Fiesta Del Rio on Polaris Parkway and were sad to see it close permanently last week…read more So, today, Cinco de Mayo, we decided to head out to Johnstown to the original Fiesta Del Rio and we found it to be as good as our old favorite on Polaris Parkway. The interior decor is very pleasant and bright. And while it is Mexican-themed, it is a more subdued interior than most Mexican restaurants. The service was EXCELLENT and the food was GREAT. It being Taco Tuesday, my wife had a selection of tacos and all were great. I went for my go-to, a burrito, and was not disappointed. The pulled pork in the burrito was exceptional. It was served with rice and a salsa like salad on the side -- it was great. This location is a bit of a drive compared to their former Polaris location but it was worth the drive.

Called to let them know I did not receive my salsa with my chips and they told me to come in the next day and they would take care of it, however, even with me showing them my receipt, they gave me the incorrect item.... Which was chipotle ranch dip!?!? Again I have to call them... go back out into the cold only to get home and find out they once again gave me chipotle ranch dip, instead of salsa!!!!! People get it together!!! There is NO excuse for messing up three times in a row! Basically, I've had it with this place as they're completely incompetent of even taking an order correctly.

Our server, who I think was the manager, seated us quickly and was super friendly and attentive throughout the meal. There is a long bar in one room where a couple locals were dining while watching a game. They also have a back room for larger parties and an outdoor patio. We ordered the beef enchilada, chile relleno combo, and also the chimichanga dinner. Both were very well prepared, and the sauces were definitely not store bought. We asked the manager and he did say that they make their sauces in house. I love that, especially since they were really good and had a deeper spice flavor than other places.

It was a Thursday night at dinnertime, but we were seated right away. They had a decent-sized crowd, but it wasn't packed. We had a server visit our table quickly and he was very friendly and light-hearted. He was good with the kids and we always appreciate that! It was a bit after 6pm, but I was able to get a Happy Hour margarita ordered, which felt like a good deal! $7.99 for a traditional margarita. (I'm not sure what time their Happy Hour ends) There wasn't much salt on the rim, but I actually didn't notice until I nearly finished it and realized it wasn't there. But it tasted great! I believe it was an authentic margarita, not the sour mix. My kids love Mexican rice and beans (respectively, neither likes both), so they only each ordered their side and feasted on chips and queso (the queso was a bit pricey for a large, but it lasted our entire meal). The queso was great and the chips were good too. Salsa was decent. I ordered the spinach enchiladas and my wife ordered the vegetarian chimichanga. We both enjoyed our meals and agreed we ordered those same meals again in the future. Service was fast and friendly and we had a nice relaxing meal. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the indoors is even nicer than it looks from the outside, although they have a nice outdoor patio with some cool decor out there as well. We'll come back!
