Reviews for Barrio Grand Rapids in Grand Rapids, MI
I?ve been to Barrio a few times for drinks and always left satisfied, my girlfriend and I decided to eat there and we were both... really disappointed. The drinks were still good but the tacos were no where near good, I got the braised short rib which had noflavor and tasted like boiled meat and we both got the spiced ground beef which was better but still not good. Also not a fan ofthe menu, would prefer a more traditional menu. Will be back for drinks but will eat elsewhere. Read more
This place is fun. The walls are filled with funky art. So, if your table mate is boring, just make up stories about all the... characters on the walls. The service was decent. The Elote was really good. I just wish there was a little more corn. Went withthe build your own taco. Which is fun. There are plenty of options. I got a little adventurous and one of my tacos was not asgood as the other. But that was all me. Love this place. Read more
I really like the atmosphere, and the menu looks great but it missed the mark for me. House margarita was good. Chips were... good. I found the salsa to be very acidic (lime juice?) The white rice I encountered was a bit soggy like sushi rice. Whiledining in my sides were served in little plastic to go cups. Tacos were pretty good, but I hope for better. Read more
I used to live in Cleveland and went to the Barrio locations in Tremont, downtown, and Cleveland Heights with some regularity,... so I was excited to have a Barrio locally. Unfortunately, my husband and I were super disappointed with the Grand Rapidslocation. The service and staff were great, no issues there at all! The stars are for the staff. However, our drinks were notgood. I actually could not finish my margarita because it was not good. I ordered a classic margarita, and my husband ordered adifferent cocktail. His cocktail was mostly juice, and had almost no alcohol or actual flavor to it. My classic margarita waslike a super sweet Minute Maid, kind of akin to a college era margarita. I was hoping they'd make actual cocktails with tequila,triple sec, etc. since they're a taco joint, but our drinks were really not good. We both ordered tacos, and they were fine,not great. We each ordered fish tacos. My fish taco didn't have any fish (I actually took all the fillings out because the bitesI had were just salsa and there was 0 fish in there). We also each ordered a meat taco of some sort, and the meat was cold. Read more
My son introduced me to y'all for an after concert place. It was a nice and hip place, love the atmosphere and friendly customer... service. The tacos were a nice portion size and the ordering way unique. Being of Hispanic descent a bit pricey for any tacosand the small sized portions of sides. Overall good food. Read more
Loved the atmosphere, tacos and margaritas. Very good and fast service. Looking forward to returning soon!
Came on opening day. Running very smoothly. Properly staffed, which is nice. Our server, Rianna, was great! Great location, good... vibes. Complimentary chips and salsa, one minor note is that there is not enough salsa for the amount of chips. Read more
It's the Fuddruckers of ????. If you put 10 ingredients and bacon on every ????... it tastes like a jumbled mess plus bacon. ... ???? should be simple, straightforward ingredients. If you eat here... you will understand. Staff is super nice... nothingpersonal... but it's white people trying aimlessly to reinvent the ????. Chain garbage. It will close... too bad. Read more
