Amazing food, great cocktails, huge unique space, delightful staff. And there’s *never* a wait!
Chef Omar and the kitchen team do an excellent job. All the tacos (even the vegan opinions) are delicious. The bar program is awesome and the selection of agave is amazing.
Barrio Chopped salad with grilled chicken is delicious, moderately healthy and filling. Available in both a small and large portion. Also, the bar is full service!
The new cocktail menu for summer 2012 is pure win. Come in on a Sunday when they're all six bucks and work your way through all you can...- Alexander LobovMay 20, 2018Can’t speak to the food as I didn’t have any but they have one of the best tequila and mezcal collections I’ve ever seen.
The nachos are awesome! Pair with a couple tacos and your margarita of choice, and you’ll be set!
Michael Reibel BoesenJune 3, 2018Great tacos and a nice selection of agave based drinks! And it’s close to two great cocktail bars for an after dinner drink: Canon and Tavern Law ❤️
Great bar for dining. Interesting spin on Mexican cuisine. I always visit Barrio when I'm in town, often more than once.
Ulysses .December 12, 2016Expensive braised pork bowl (over $13 via peach for a small container of 60% rice, 30% shredded pork, 10% veg & black beans) but very tender and flavorful so that makes up for it.
This place is seriously amazing! Great atmosphere, drinks are awesome, and the selection of food is so yummy
Arturo RomJuly 24, 2016The place is simply amazing, the food and service even better!! Coming back soon for sure!
Olivia FriedrichJuly 27, 2015The peach salad was so juicy and refreshing, corn on the cob was awesome, and the waiter we had was the best part. Such a nice guy
Abigail KofflerJune 25, 2015The vegetable cazuela is the perfect way to sample almost everything vegetarian, and the service is great even when crowded.
Seattle MetNovember 11, 2011Grandly scaled, candle-bedecked locations on both sides of Lake Washington have a touch of corporate chill, but the tequila-focused bar program is on par with the best in town. Read more
Ashley RoseApril 28, 2019Michelada was just the right amount of spicy. And veggie tacos: Chorizo and Cauliflower - so tasty!
Incredible brunch options! Chorizo is great... Chorizo bacon is even better. Try the blood orange mimosa!
Have the prawn enchiladas! Seriously one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten! Get a bowl of chips for the sauce!
Moe DexlerJanuary 9, 2019Do not miss the spiced cauliflower taco. It will change your life. Order two!
Otilia PascaNovember 29, 2017The vegan nachos are the best thing ever, date I say it, better than cheese nachos!
Bland everything, minus flavor, plus fillers and not much else. “Habanero” is apple sauce. “Cascabel” is adobo packing sauce for chipotle peppers. Was great 12 years ago, less so now.
CJanuary 2, 2013The brunch menu was full of possibilities, but the French Toast was divine. A great date place.
David GravesDecember 14, 2014Tamarind margaritas are really interesting. I recommend either taking the salt off the cup completely.
Kaushik ShankarJuly 5, 2016This place has some great vegetarian options; try the nachos or enchiladas with smoked mushrooms.
Lindsay SAugust 27, 2015Cameron is One of the best bartenders in town! He is hilarious and very talented.
Robert GardnerJuly 7, 2013Terrific place. Sit at the bar, get the cocktail "La Paloma" and talk to Alfredo the bartender, great guy. Foods good too.
Devon DDecember 31, 2010Quite possibly the BEST restaurant in this area of seattle..... Killer happy hour(2 dollar tacos) after 10pm... Very highly recommended for out of towners!!!!
Lee AdamsNovember 20, 2013The Ghost Chile margarita is delicious, a great balance of heat and sweetness.
The Seattle TimesMay 12, 2010Features a wide selection of gourmet tacos such as pork shoulder with raisins and almonds. Pretty underappreciated for its tequila bar, which features 60 different tequilas, all half off on Mondays. Read more
Get the chilaquiles appetizer. Amazing loaded nachos to share.
Chicken & waffles on the brunch menu beats most other places.
Brunch is delicious and you can usually find gift cards for the Heavy Restaurant group at Costco, which would save you about 10%.
Kathleen Joy BurnsNovember 16, 2011Everything is amazing here. The tacos, the corn bread. THE GUACAMOLE. Order a Mexican Coke.
Katy BourneFebruary 17, 2012Great roasted prawn enchiladas. Cool decor-Mission meets Industrial. Sweet people. Loved it!
Crystal GomesAugust 9, 2014Great happy hour menu! Poor service from one bartender seemed like the exception to the rule. Willing to try it again.
The food here is quite good, but won't be confused for authentic Mexican. The exception is their chilaquiles, which are rotated with different ingredients daily.
Seattle Happy HourApril 16, 2012Barrio Every Day 3-6pm & 10pm-12am, $7 cocktails; $6 wines; $3.5 Drafts; $10 T.T.T (tecate, tequila, taco) ow.ly/ajH3s
DJ PheloneousOctober 30, 2012awesome spot but the chairs make me feel super short... Oh wait I am super short lol
Kentucky Cartel is the best drink on the hill. Try the churros too!
