My Día de Los Muertos experience at Barrio was tremendous.
It was an absolute awesome opportunity to sit and eat and enjoy the food of Spanish-Ameican Latin based Tex-Mex.
The opportunity I’m Grand Rapids to enjoy this eatery is brand new, and with so many options to dine Downtown Grand Rapids; I am glad to know I made a great decision.
I had black beans which were exquisite. I topped them with items of my choosing would will leave you reading to want to try the options a whole lot more. I had a balanced bowl of tortilla chips and a beverage of my enjoyment. Having and understanding of the art as I observed the football game made my food so much more of a rich opportunity.
I definitely encourage you to dine at Barrio.
Food, drinks, and even an outdoor patio to enjoy during the autumn season.

I used Barrio to cater my best friend’s baby shower and it was delicious! Everyone raved about the food. They were great to work with! Highly recommend using them for catering events!

The tacos I had were fantastic. The food has a very authentically Mexican feel even when using atypical ingredients. I would have given five stars, but service could definitely be faster. I also find the lack of any utensils without request a bit silly. The food is fantastic, and I’d definitely go again. The tacos were filled very well, and the menu is very unique.

Myself and a friend went down to El barrio for a light dinner. The restaurant didn’t seem crazy busy, and I wasn’t paying attention to my watch, but it took a considerable time to take our order. Once the order was placed, it took 40 minutes for the order to arrive at our table, and my friends entrée was cold. The waitress apologized, but didn’t really specify what the problem was. Although one menu item was comped, The entire visit was subpar to say the least. Cannot recommend the restaurant and cannot see us going back

It’s hard to tell if they are a sit down casual dining restaurant, or a fast-food restaurant dressed up in pretend mode. I got the BYO-rice bowl. First off, the flavors were very good, but that’s where the positive review ends. The food comes out in plastic baskets with paper bowls, and PLASTIC FORKS!?! I truly felt like I was in a high-school cafeteria. It’s a shock to expectations based on the feel of the restaurant, and the pricing, to be served in a fashion at home at a local Taco Bell. The food was just warm in temperature. Warm enough to eat, but barely. As for the rice, there was so much of it undercooked!! Few things are less appetizing than getting a raw, hard crunch of undercooked rice of your teeth. It’s really something to serve a rice bowl with little raw rice landmines sprinkled throughout. Finally, the ratios of the rice bowl are just off. The amount of rice is about 95%. I personally ordered two proteins (tofu and black beans) to attempt a better ratio, but they charge more, and then reduce the amount of each protein by half. Again, the flavors were good, but the total meal was just not. The chips provided are also sad. I get better chips out of bags from the grocery store. I gave them 2 stars because the flavor of the tofu and salsa were enjoyable, even if I don’t plan to ever return.
Wait staff was OK. There seemed to be plenty available, our server was certainly not having a good day, but perhaps that was a blip?

Stopped in with friends for a drink while waiting for doors to open before an event at GLC Live. I tried one of their signature cocktails. It was okay, but I don’t expect to love every cocktail I try, so I’m fine with that. Service was good. A couple people that were with me tried some food and said they liked it. I would go back and try a different drink next time and perhaps some food.

Tacos were so good I almost slipped into a food coma. Great prices and amazing drinks! Ate during happy hour and Maddie recommended the perfect rims for my frozen margaritas every time. Loved the food and drinks!

TLDR: I struggle with leaving bad reviews, which, for me, is anything under 5 stars, but I have to leave 3 stars to remind myself that these tacos just aren’t my fave.
I started writing Google reviews, in all honestly, because I have a fairly poor memory and needed a way to remind myself whether or not I like a restaurant so that I don’t waste time going someplace I don’t love. This was my second visit here- I didn’t remember visiting the first time because the food was mid and the service was awkward and tbh, incorrect. We experienced this on our second visit as well.
What’s good: the ambience! The decor/walls are cool and interesting. The bathroom is nice too!
What’s not so good: the menus they have you fill out are tedious, like a scantron you fill out during testing or voting, so you’d think that the orders would be correct since you, the guest, needs to spend this time filling out these sheets. For the second time in a row, my boyfriend filled out his sheet, was served something different than what he ordered, was argued with by the server who said he ordered the thing he did not order, and then when the sheet was brought out as proof, the server was able to see that my bf was correct, the kitchen was wrong, and the order was not correct. The server apologized and offered to bring what he ordered. It had taken so long to get our food that he just had them remake one of the tacos and ate the other two that they brought because he was too hungry to wait.
I realized after eating that I didn’t take any good pics other than the queso ♀️… I was hungry and just dug in. I had ordered a CAMARÓN AGRIETADO (flour shell, jalapeño lime shrimp, cilantro-lime rice, verde slaw, crack sauce) and another build your own taco. Both were very dry and not very flavorful. I remembered feeling this was the last time we visited as well, but it had been a year so I had hoped that the kitchen would figure things out by now.
Keep in mind, I’m picky! This place was full of seemingly happy people, so maybe it’s just me and my boyfriend (and our two friends were had dinner with) that didn’t really like the tacos here, and if so, ignore this review as it’s just to remind myself about what I do and don’t like . Also, as in my bio, if I like it, you’ll like it. If I don’t like it, you’ll probably still like it.

Fun Vibe, Delicious Tacos, but Service Could Be Better.
This taco restaurant has a fun, lively atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating, which makes for a great dining experience. The tacos were absolutely delicious – flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly! You filled out an “order form” to choose your taco options, which was a fun and easy way to customize the meal to your taste. However, the service needs improvement. It took forever to get greeted and seated, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy at all. Once we were seated, our waiter was slow to fill our waters, and it was difficult to get their attention when we were ready for the bill. Despite the service hiccups, the food and vibe were fantastic, so I’d definitely come back. I’m just hoping for quicker service next time!
