For a location Mexican restaurant, everything has been on point from presentation and communication with the staff. Love there, Taco salad, and I had a steak burrito. Also, I did try four soft corn tacos (chicken,fish,steak, and shrimp)

Cozy spot for lunch. Food was good, staff was pleasant. Smaller than I thought, no table service ( order and pick up at counter, clear your own table). Good guac. Drink was delicious, but a bit pricey for the size.

The decor is beautiful . Welcoming atmosphere. We had very pleasant customer service. We ordered 2 crunchy tacos a beef n bean burrito and 2 waters. After tip it was a fast $20. kind of on the pricey side but the food was authentic . You can watch it be made while enjoying traditional music.

The food at El Barrio is just not good 🙁 I’ve ordered right after they opened only to find the rice cold and hard, the meat dry and bland. Twice I’ve gotten

I ordered a steak nacho bravo, and I was very disappointed. I did lift the bottom to see if there were any chips in there, and there were a bunch of broken pieces. I usually order this all the time. And this go round, it was terrible. Soggy cold and the steak was gummy. Smh, I also called an hour after they opened, so not sure why the quality was highly disappointing.

I ordered online for pickup. When I made my order, I selected not to tip as it was an order for pickup. I received a confirmation on the screen telling me the total. Then, I received an email of a confirmation for a different cost and the location automatically applied a 20% tip to the cost of this order. When I walked in to talk to the staff, there was a language barrier and there was a lot of confusion. Ultimately, they called the manager but were incredibly rude and unwilling to do anything about their overcharge. Not only is this behavior sketchy, but it is also stealing and unethical. I would not return here under any circumstance which is too bad since their food is good.

Food is ok but the prices are ridiculous. The al pastor was extremely dry. Its sad because this place was my favorite.

This place is a mom and pop place. The manager doesn’t know sales. He is never there. He has unfamiliar people working there . I had five people in front of me ask about margaritas for sale and they provided nothing. Go to TACO BELL. This place is to expensive and they serve less quality food then the bell.

Service is pleasant, owner works hard to meet customers where they are at. (Edited: as noted by his response below.) Ordered a pork taco. Meat was moist/tender but left me desiring more. The taste was a little bland, drink was strong and small. Overall, too expensive for the value.
