Food is always fresh, Margs on point, Kyle is the best server around. Will def be back for it all but Kyle's vibes are where I want to be

Awesome Patio Margaritas were great The fajitas came out sizzling and the service is to die for!! You have to check this place out if you have not been!! read more

Came here for HH but unfortunately they aren't serving it for Cinco de Mayo. They do other days but not today. Waitress was ok with service. You get free chips & dips then extra refill is $2 each time. We ordered chicken nachos & ground beef burrito. Also, ordered a pitcher of margarita which was refreshing & strong! We asked for no beans on the burrito but still got some. Other than that it was good. Chicken nachos was good. Ambiance is nice & lit with some little birds flying around. Other than that I'll have to come back another day to experience happy hour. read more

Great atmosphere. That's where the great ends! My brunch "bottomless mimosa" was all orange juice. I seriously doubt there was any champagne at all in my drink. Also, sitting at the bar, I wanted to watch some football so I asked if they could please change the channel for me but it never happened. Saturday in the USA & I was forced to watch soccer, hockey, and girls volleyball! Everything except football. To top things off there were ants everywhere!! I ate my food anyway but very hesitantly. I don't think I'll be coming back here. Bad experience. read more

Red Bridge Barrio - Orange juice no champagne mimosas. - Mexican Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

This is our first time visiting this restaurant at it's a little far from our neighborhood probably 8 to 10 miles in between that. We have plenty of other Mexican restaurants that we could have tried but we wanted to try something new and different. We ended up going to a new city and your complex which was very good. There is plenty of parking available and this place is located in the center of the complex. This Mexican restaurant gives you a very modern outlook a very American TAX mix vibe pretty decent neat and clean. Very spacious. Lotta seating area available. The service in this restaurant is super fast and everybody were very nice and respectable with a customer suggesting everything what they're good at and what to get . Got seafood, enchiladas chicken fajitas, queso couple of drinks. It was amazing. We would have enjoyed a little bit of a more happy vibe. We felt it was pretty dark in there, but still a good place for us to visit again. read more

The bartender Bea was fantastic and my sangria good. The GM made a spicy margarita that was not so fantastic...Tequila please? I would not recommend the ceviche. The chips and spicy salsa was very good! Overall, I would give the bartender a 5, the drinks a 3 and the food a 2. read more

I've been here a few times and have gotten used to the slower service because I understand how the industry is. But, I came in today with my mom and was served by Fadia and this is the best service and visit I've had!!! 10/10 She was quick to greet us and let us know she'll be right with us. She was so sweet and kind and our order came out perfectly. She's amazing, you're definitely lucky to have her here! read more

Red Bridge Barrio - gringo tacos and enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Earlier this summer my wife went to eat here, it was a pleasant afternoon and we were seated on the patio. There were very few people in the restaurant. We waited and waited and waited no server came, none acknowledged us, we got up and walked out . Went down the street to Dos De Oros. Today another great evening for patio dining. We hear, a few people on the patio and inside about two thirds of the place empty. We went to check stand and waited and waited and waited. The lone bar tender was busy, the wait staff was scurrying around no one helped us no one acknowledged us, we walked out. I want this restaurant to be successful so we don't have and empty business in our neighborhood but if ownership and management don't do a better job this place will close read more

We went as a large group to say goodbye to a coworker who is leaving our employer. They assigned us all a number so it was easy and quick to find who ordered drinks, food and we could just say our number to add or pay for our order. The food was fresh and delicious. I ordered the chicken nachos on the Happy Hour menu. Margaritas can be over ice or frozen. I got Strawberry and Coconut mixed. They are also on the Happy Hour Menu. I did not hear any complaints from anyone on food or service for such a big party size. read more

Outstanding! From the seasoned chips and fresh made salsa to the grilled veggies and fajitas, everything was excellent !! The service was nothing short of perfect!! We are from out of state and had never eaten here and highly recommend!! read more

This place has a fantastic happy hour and good drinks, but it absolutely needs a competent host! We waited far too long to be seated, and this was on a Friday at 5:30--evidently the start of the dinner rush! There were plenty of open tables, yet it took 35 minutes from being seated to even putting in our appetizer order. Our appetizer arrived before our drinks, and by 6:07, no one had bothered to take our main order. I really enjoy this place, but the service needs urgent improvement! I saw the manager walk by three times, too busy bussing tables instead of attending to their guests. read more

Yesterday during brunch i ordered the breakfast burrito that very clearly states contains "house-made chorizo". Upon receiving said burrito, absolutely no chorizo. Eggs and veggies wrapped in a tortilla with queso. I brought it up to my waitress who told me the burrito doesn't come with chorizo? So i double checked the menu on my phone and sure enough, "house-made chorizo". After a second attempt bringing it up with waitress, she said she spoke with the MANAGER who confirmed it did not come with chorizo. I was baffled. $14 for a soggy vegetarian burrito. Maybe change the menu to reflect or let customers know before they order read more

So, after having ordered food from here to go a couple of times, my husband and I decided to actually stay and eat here. This time, we also tried something different. We both ordered the Chimichangas (chicken) and they were great. We also ordered the smoked beef quesadillas and these were very tasty. I loved the combo with the corn relish inside. Since we dined in, we ordered drinks. I had a very tasty mango drink that was like a mojito, but with vodka and a hint of lemon, and it was very very tasty. The service was not bad, but the waitress did seem lost or not aware that we didn't have napkins nor silverware when we sat down. I began eating the quesadilla and had sauce dripping down my hand when I began eating it. Additionally, we were served our appetizer without any extra plates, it just felt a little uncivilized. The only reason I am not not giving this review a 5, even though a five can go to the food, and the service could get a 3.5, but a 3 goes for the dining area, which was filthy. I found scattered nachos and pieces of paper on the carpet (why a restaurant has carpet beats me) and the restaurant didn't appear to be so busy that they couldn't have someone clean the area. read more

The food here has been going downhill for some time now but I must say this last time was tha absolute worst! Hardly any cheese on my nachos, I mean c'mon and even when I asked for more to help compensate it was such a small amount they might as well not even bothered bringing it. The chicken tacos were SO dry and bland it was like seriously the desert dry! Then, the drinks came and I swear they poured margarita mix straight from the bottle w barely any ice and very little liquor! HOT freaking bottle mix margarita, the spicy marg - well... just add jalapeño juice from the jar and viola, hot nasty hot juice! I personally will not be returning. I don't know who is running this dive or why there are any stars above 1 given but my 1 star is for the chips... that's it... the chips and salsa. Not worth the $58 I paid for my bill + tip. I used to really love this place but Red Bridge... do better please. Damn. read more

Hello! Tonight I visited the restaurant and Kyle was our server. He was energetic and positive and smiled a lot! Enjoyed meeting him!

Atmosphere was good as far as design layout vibe. Execution, food...meh. There is a lot of competition in this area for Mexican. Restaurant was not near full, service staff looked real busy. Well, we got our waters after our appetizer came. As well as silverware and napkins we had to ask for after appetizer. Appetizer had no appetizer plates which was odd. Ya pay that much. App But nothing special. The prices were reasonable, but the portions were smaller than usual. The burrito, like the only one on the menu, was more of a square or rectangle than a typical rolled up long traditional burrito. About 60% of your standard burrito size. Mostly flour tortilla with all the corner folding, with beans and ground or near ground beef. 70% beans, 30% meat, and a Hint of burntness. Would not order again. Also very stingy on the queso topping. Best part was the small side of rice and beans, which i normally don't eat too much of. The side should not be the star of the plate. Server was attentive when they had time. Lots of Potential, but much better in the area on this day. read more

We stopped here for lunch after taking the kids to Wonderscope & everything was delicious! Our waiter Kristen was super sweet & very attentive. She kept us refilled & had our orders out fast! The food was hot & the drinks were strong! We had a great time just being out when everyone! It's in a shopping center with lots of great places all around. Definitely centered in a great location. The inside was very spacious & clean. They did have flies but I'll just say it was because their "garage" was open got the patio. It wasn't too bothersome so I won't take a star off. I'll give it a 9/10. read more

Our server Kyle was great, friendly and attentive. He recommended the Empanadas which we hadn't tried before. They were yummy!

this has to be one of the strangest experiences I've had in a long time. I found it rather disturbing when they were pushing the dirty dish cart through the open dining area full of dirty dishes. But to make matters worse when I asked for a go box, I was given a small box that would not fit my entire leftovers, I still shoved them into this very tiny box. To make matters worse when I asked for a to go box for my chips the waitress said can I bring you a bag? I said no I would like a box please. Then she said well can I get you some new chips out of the back and put them in a bag? I said no I just want a normal size box please. read more

I have gone to this restaurant twice and both times my group and I sat on their patio and were literally ignored by the staff. Even after asking for someone to come wait on us we still didn't get to order. I will never go to this restaurant again, and I will also make sure others are aware of the way we were treated, so they know to avoid this business too. I gave it a shot twice and they blew it both times. They obviously need better management. read more

First time at Barrio and the food and service was amazing. Wonderful happy hour too. Highly recommend!

I was worried about eating here after reading some terrible reviews. So glad I went as lunch was delicious and the service was great. The chips and salsa were very good and the empanadas and the special corn on the cob were amazing. Will definitely be back. read more

Jeff Holt, the GM, should be fired. I live in the neighborhood and have been going to the Barrio for years, partly because it's convenient, and partly because it's a restaurant that I try to support for the very fact that it's in my neighborhood. There are frequent issues at this restaurant, from extremely slow service, to food poisoning, to consistently being out of basic bar service, ie, seven up, or a common substitute. But I have been patient and give it a second chance. When a friend and I walked in today for happy hour, my friend ordered a vodka seven and the waitress said "we are out of Starry", which is the lemon lime version of 7-Up. The waitress said "we have been out of this for quite some time". When we asked to speak to the manager, Jeff Holt came to our table. It didn't take long for him to become belligerent, defensive, and uncooperative in solving a very simple problem. When we explained our frustration that our neighborhood Mexican restaurant was consistently out of basic items, broken down equipment, or has consistently slow service, he said, if you have a problem, you can go somewhere else. Stunned by that response, I said that apparently it is true what I have heard from other customers, and what I have even heard from staff themselves-- that "Management does not do anything when customers complain". Mr Holt said that is not true. And I said yes indeed it is because I have asked to speak to the GM in the past and more than one staffer has said "this guy does not care." And today I found out exactly what they were talking about. When we tried to explain to Mr. Holt that these complaints were valid, and that this was our neighborhood restaurant that we wanted to support, but were concerned at what we were experiencing, he said that he had the right to refuse service, and took our menus away. Honestly, I have never ever heard of a GM handling a customer like this. We never raised our voices, we were never rude. We just wanted to finally have an opportunity to speak to the GM to share our concerns. There is a grocery store in the same shopping center, and never once has this restaurant thought to buy a case of Sprite or 7-Up to remedy the situation until their supplier provided what they needed. Most restaurants who have good management have done this. But not this place. read more

I've been to the Barrio in Martini Corner, and somehow it doesn't hold a candle to this one. The two times that I've been (this time for a quick happy hour snack) the food has been excellent, the service has been excellent... it's somehow a much different- and better- experience than at the one downtown. read more

This was my first time here. The drink was great, but the food was not great. If you just want some chips and salsa, maybe some queso this is a great spot, but much more is not recommended. We had to send our first meal back as the seafood was bad. As a note, one helping of chips and salsa is all you get. This should be better and I expected more. Nice people but quality lacking. read more

My wife and I had an all-too- rare opportunity for a weekend getaway and decided to start it a day early by dining at a restaurant where we had never eaten before. We had in hand a generous gift card that we'd been holding for several months to The Barrio, so we decided this would be a great night to use it. Let me start by saying that my three-star rating is probably more informed by my personal tastes than it was by the overall experience. The venue was nice enough. The entry after dark felt very "high end" with the outdoor seating area being flanked by LOVELY fire features. The hostess desk was super cool with its gilded organic wood construction. The space was open and well lit, and the hostess seated us immediately despite not finding our reservation in her system. The whole space had a "modern farmhouse" sort of vibe. Our server was good... He really perked up when we told him we were first timers and he offered his recommendations (and reservations!) in direct response to our questions. Like I said, there was nothing "wrong" with the evening. My biggest point of hesitation with writing this review is that I just didn't love the food. The tequila and mezcal cocktails were a bit smoky for my preference. The spice profile was a bit more "artsy" than my Tex-Mex palate preferred, making use of spices that felt out of place to me. The portions were generous, and the dishes were freshly prepared. Again, it was NOT bad... I just didn't love it. My wife felt the same. Near the end of our visit, our server asked if we were secret shoppers... Perhaps it was because I was taking photos of each food item as they arrived. When I told him we were not secret shoppers, he leaned in and asked again. We all chuckled. I told him I was part of Yelp's Elite Squad and that I was gathering info to write a review. That seemed to satisfy his curiosity, and we all enjoyed a laugh. Then he asked me, "So, how did I do?" I reflexively responded, "You did fine." Oops! Once again, he pressed the question: "Like at least a 6.5 out of 10?" I laughed and reassured him he did way better than that, which made him happy, and he went to settle our check. As we finished the evening, we left a very generous 41% gratuity... Interestingly enough, it was the exact amount of the remaining balance on our gift card. ;-) read more

Went for a girls night and loved that they take reservations! However, there was plenty of seating when we got there (7pm on a Thursday) so not sure you'll need one. The staff are super friendly, even if they're busy. We were seated right away, but ordering took a little longer because a very large party was seated shortly before us. The menu is pretty concise, which I appreciated. And they seem open to special requests because my friend was looking for a chicken quesadilla, but they only had seafood or pulled pork on the menu and our waiter said it wouldn't be a problem to customize it! I ordered the chicken fajitas (which are the Thursday special) and a Smokey Paloma. Both turned out excellent! The overall space needed a good deep clean, but you could tell it was recent, kid caused mess! Not like it was unkempt or something. The bathrooms were well stocked and clean though. read more

Well gosh. Quality has fallen a bit each time I eat here. Guac as always delicious but the chips were not fresh. They are usually super unique and seasoned with a chili seasoning type of a bright glaze! But they were extra stale and hard. Usually not. The chips/usually to die for! Can we have fresh chips? 'Sorry, we just made them.' These are very hard and stale. 'I'll ask if we can make more.' 'Sorry. No we can't.' Chips? Okie doke. There was live music and not many patrons; so it was loud but we tolerated it. Waitress advised it was her birthday. Each time she came to the table she mentioned it. We said Happy a birthday a few times and quit. The food was bland and lacked seasoning. I will be back. read more

Place was loud , but had good food , we enjoyed the beers, they had , the server was not very friendly .

So I have been driving by this place for few years now thinking one day I try it. We have few Mexican spots that we always go to so this past week we were debating on where to eat and I suggested to try this place. We came here for lunch and OH MY! What have we been missing on! We didn't get any drinks since we were on lunch break (work you know) but we tried the food and it's delicious to say the least. Service was super fast and excellent with recommendations and constant checking to see if we needed something. The ambiance was very modern with good lightening and open garage style doors to allow fresh air in. We thought it gave the place an edge. We will definitely come back. It hit all the marks for us and we were so happy leaving there knowing we will definitely come back! read more

I visited the Red Bridge Barrio location this week and was pleased with the service, food, and atmosphere. Our waitress, Camryn, was excellent - she was able to tell us what the vegan options were on the spot: you can modify the Jackfruit Tacos and Fried Avocado Tacos to be vegan (remove the queso/aioli) and you can get whole black beans and rice (NOT the ranchero beans which have cheese mixed in). I'm not a huge fan of jackfruit because of the texture (sort of like mushrooms) so I ordered the Fried Avocado tacos. I expect these are delicious when ordered off the menu (with the cheese and aioli) but without you'll probably want to add some salsa so they aren't dry/lacking flavor. There were several different seating options - bar seating, high tops, booths, and outdoor seating for when it's warmer. Overall, a solid option with locations sprinkled around the KC area (Briarcliff, Brookside, Red Bridge). read more
