The food at Barrio was absolutely amazing! The portions were huge and everything was tasty. You HAVE to try the churro breakfast sandwich, but I honestly couldn't pick a favorite dish and I tried quite a few. Our server Christian was excellent! He was funny and extremely attentive. The manager Doug was also great. 10/10 experience. I'll definitely be back.
Stopped here after walking miles and miles around this beautiful city. The service was good, the cocktails were on point and overall the food was really enjoyable and not too heavy. Sat outside and listened to the sounds of the city. I would recommend and revisit.

Stopped in on a Saturday at 2:30 both outside and inside seating was pretty much empty but the host said she wasn’t seating anyone outside and would have to check if there was any availability inside. She finally sat our table of 6 down and wasn’t a pleasant or welcoming host. The music was extremely loud for 2:30 pm so couldn’t have a conversation at our table. If it was late night I would understand… just felt like a night club at 2:30pm. So if your celebrating have a bachelorette party this is an option to get your party started with music but if your trying to have a nice relaxing conversational brunch/lunch spot don’t bother! Ordered the steak tacos but it was disappointing because the tortillas were cold so they broke easily and the fried rice was ok but nothing worth coming back for. The staff did not look happy to be working on this particular day.

This place is so cool. Felt like I was at a dance club with an onsite DJ on a Saturday afternoon!! Jamming to great tunes while enjoying a very trendy atmosphere and cool authentic decor. We had a brunch menu but ordered chips and 3 salsas of which my favorite was the avocado salsa verde. We also enjoyed delicious packed nachos and a very large taco salad. We wanted to enjoy the outdoors but definitely enjoyed the indoor dance party.

The atmosphere is amazing here, super cozy. The chips and salsa was wonderful. We tried the mango, avocado, and jalapeño. They were all fabulous and had a good spicy kick to them. We had spicy skinny margaritas, also delicious. And I got the short rib tacos, with flour tortillas. Overall the food was fantastic, I would highly recommend for some quality food.

It’s one of the unique places in Chicago to have a patio. The place is well decorated and the host was quick to seat us. The server was prompt to take our order. The food is delicious! It came out quick and was warm! The pancakes are second to none (only many bongo room). The prices are also reasonable for a place of this calibre.
I would highly recommend this place and would come here again.

The staff are nice, food was good. I gave 4stars because we received receipts that was summarized and not Itemized. For the 135ish dollars that we paid, I wanted to see the amount of per food that we ate or it was billed right and not just summary. However, I still gave them 25% tip because we liked the service and the food.

Dropped by on a late Saturday night after broadway show. Barrio was walking distance & open late which made it convenient. Staff was great & we were seated right away.
Food was amazing! We had the duck tacos & shrimp tacos. Duck tacos were my favorite! Would recommend those. The cornbread was also really good!
Will definitely be back for some more tacos in future!

I came here for restaurant week with a friend, and the food did not disappoint. Our server, Peyton (I believe that was her name), was so helpful and knowledgeable. My friend is a vegetarian, so she suggested accommodations for certain menu items! The cocktails we ordered were delicious (mezcal margarita with watermelon), and the food was so good as well. We definitely left super full!

This place is pricey, but well worth it. The salsa was amazing. The cornbread was out of this world. Waitress was incredibly nice, knowledgeable and helpful. Outside eatery was beautiful. Bathrooms are super nice. My boyfriend got the octopus tacos and loved them. I got the fried rice and it was so good and unique. You won’t be disappointed with this restaurant
