Barrio Tacos Lexington

Barrio is a great addition to downtown Lexington. The restaurant has a clean, modern feel in a new building, with a nice patio option in addition to the indoor seating. We visited on a busy Thursday night but were seated inside immediately. The food here is the real highlight—it’s all about fresh, customizable tacos and bowls. You get to choose from a huge variety of proteins, toppings, and sauces. Everything is made to order but comes out surprisingly fast. They even bring you complimentary chips and dips to start. While sitting near the bar, we overheard some employee chatter about tips, but it was just typical restaurant talk and didn't detract from our positive visit.

Me and my fiance love this place, we recently used their online ordering system for the first time. Went to pick up our order and there was a mixup with an Uber Eats order that came in at the same time so our order had already been handed out. Our hostess, Shar handled everything super professionally, had the kitchen fix our order, and even provided us with some drinks and salsa while we waited and continued to check on us. Minor error and inconvenience, that could happen anywhere. But huge professionalism from this establishment, doesn’t happen at every restaurant. I highly recommend this place, everything is cooked fresh and delicious, drinks are always good, and the staff is lovely. I’m always impressed by the food and atmosphere when I walk in here. Thank you again to ms. Shar for bein

An upbeat and casual restaurant with awesome decor and fun music vibes. The ordering options can be a little confusing at first. But you can order curated menu items, or build your own tacos, nachos and bowls. The food was very good. Complimentary chips and salsa are served. A full bar is available as well. The staff were very friendly, but they may have been shorthanded staffed as it took us a while to get our check at the end.

I regret every dollar I have ever spent that wasn’t spent on Cowboy Tacos off their brunch menu. We went for brunch today. Our server, Brenda was goated. So nice and attentive. The cowboy taco off that brunch menu? Insane. Incredible. I wish every day could be brunch day. The house salsa was awesome. Wife and kids enjoyed the house queso a lot. We will be back. The vibe and music was rlly like that too. I’m so happy this place exists.

Rich has an amazing place! The atmosphere is relaxed and fast casual. Tried the Blue Elote queso today and honestly could have been my meal. The subtle tartness of the blue cheese, the spice of the queso, the crunch of the fried onions and the grilled corn is amazing!! By far my favorite queso around. You have nailed that one on the head. Thank you for being a great welcoming establishment.
