Food was not very impressive. Tacos were quite dry as was the chilaquiles for brunch. Menu labeled GF items and we could write “Celiac” on order slip.
Questionable gf practices as items on the menu are listed gf that surely aren’t (beer braised black beans). Tons of stuff is marked gf on the menu, but I wasn’t particularly impressed with the food and wouldn’t go back
Disappointed by the service. Was told conflicting info about the fryer. Was initially told it was safe, until I pointed out a non-gf fried item, at which point it wasn’t safe. Staff was apologetic but it was still after I ate food that I was assured was safe even though it wasn’t. Steer clear of anything fried

Sooooo disappointed. They now fry something that has gluten so no chips or yucca fries for us Celiacs :( but you can get the cheesy corn with a plain arepa and it’s still pretty delicious! Tacos are extraordinary!
I had to fine a late night dinner on the fly and was of course super nervous! I had a really positive experience here, the server was fairly knowledgeable and honest (said not to have the chips because he can’t guarantee they aren’t fried), and took my concerns seriously when we dined in at like 11 PM. Tried to get take out but apparently they decline to do take out sometimes? Just FYI. Plenty of options as they have “build your own tacos” including corn tortillas. Menu labeled with GF choices. Food wasn’t amazing but I did not get sick, my #1 priority for sure as a Celiac.
Lots of gf options. Eat here every time I am in Cleveland. Always a great experience!
Highly recommend! The entire menu is labelled really well. I am gf and df and most menu items were available to build tacos and bowls. Yummy food, great service, don’t miss this if you are in Cleveland
Great tacos and was safe for our celiac kids.
This restaurant has sooo many gluten free options. My daughter has celiac and is super sensitive and has never gotten sick from eating here.
Highly recommend, lots of options clearly marked on the menu. Not the best Mexican food ever but it was still good and I did not get sick!
September 30, 2021 Dinner. Excellent meal with plenty of GF options. Felt very comfortable eating at this establishment. I did not get sick after eating. Would recommend.
Great patio although we sat at the bar because the tender looked lonely. Most items here are gluten free. My bowl with bacon and pineapple salsa was excellent. We also had 2 made to order tacos- cocacola beef and spiced chicken on fantastic house made corn taco shells. The Guac was amazing. Excellent margarita as well.
So many options! Chips and hard shells had a safe fryer, too!
I called to order. The worker was very patient as I ordered. He double checked on the guacamole and told the kitchen about my allergy. Items are clearly marked GF, vegan, or DF on the menu. My box was labeled “celiac”. There are a lot of gf options. The good was amazing!!
Located a neighborhood. Friendly atmosphere excellent service with great attitude. Order tacos by checking boxes on paper checklist. Menu clearly denotes GF. I had chicken and pulled pork tacos.
The tacos are completely customizable, you fill out an order ticket that clearly marks what is GF and the waitress picks it up. I wrote Celiac/Gluten Allergy at the top and the waitress circled it. The tacos came out within 5 minutes of our order. The queso, chips, and salsa were gluten free.
NOTE: The Coca-Cola marinaded Steak is NOT gluten free even though it is labeled that on the menu (it contains non-GF soy sauce). The manager let me know immediately corrected the issue. They were very careful with my meal making sure everything was GF and the food was amazing!
Went to the one in Lakewood for best date night ever. Our new favorite restaurant!! Most things were GF and easily dairy free. All the delicious sauces at the table were GF and df. Wish my kids were more fun, we'd go all the time! I have celiac and feel safe here and can still have great food!
Enjoy eating here, food is great. Staff is knowledgeable and careful. Almost everything served is naturally gluten free.
Delicious food. Lot's of options. Chips are gf too. Would definitely go back!
Great food, fair price, and an awesome atmosphere. We will be stopping by again before we leave town!
Delicious build your own tacos, tons of gluten free options!
Barrio is amazing the food is great and there are so much gluten free options
Omigosh! Soooo good! Visiting from out of town, we ate there 3 times over the weekend. Had to get carry out due to sports crowds though (takes about 20 minutes for carry out even though getting a table could have taken 2 hours). Menu clearly shows what is GF. Staff seemed helpful and concerned and knowledgeable. Everyone in my party loved it, I'm the only GF one. I didn't get sick after trying multiple items on three separate orders. Great flavors, tons of options for toppings on the corn shell. Yum! The aioli sauce is awesome, loved the pork and chicken better than the steak. The corn chips with queso blanco were amazing! Wish I could eat there every week!
Love Barrio, the food is delicious and its easy to make your tacos GF. Tremont location is the best tasting.
I went to the one downtown on Prospect. Loved the energetic vibe and the food. If you sit at the bar you can get your entire meal and drinks for happy hour prices. The menu is very clearly marked. Easy to order… No explanation necessary. Tacos are amazing. Chips and guacamole a must! Made this celiac so happy!!!
I love me some barrio tacos!!! Everything GF is marked on their ordering sheets so it's really easy to order. They also have soft corn shells (even though it's not on the ordering sheet) and their cheese has been said to be GF, but for whatever reason is not labeled that way.
I had 4 different excellent tacos with many others chioces. They label the bubble sheet with gf so you know what is available. Happy hour in the bar area from 4 to 7 is great
Everything is clearly labeled gf, vegan, and even dairy-free (most ingredients are indeed gf). I highly recommend this restaurant some of the best unique tacos that you create via a bubble sheet selecting the unique ingredients you want. Also very reasonably priced. I always go with 3 different tacos @ $3/taco and leave full and satisfied.

Everything was clearly marked GF and the waitress also asked if it was an allergy. Had no symptoms and I would eat here again.
Been there, twice.
Cold food, twice.
Bad reactions, twice
I’ve eaten here 4-5 times. I’ve generally had a good experience, though there are inconsistencies about what is gf on the menus. And some things are marked gf that have potential cross contamination issues, such as one of the quesos. However, the last time I ate there, they brought out half my tacos in a flour tortilla. I had told the server about needing gluten free and even wrote it boldly on top of the taco order form. I informed the manager, and she apologized but didn’t seem very concerned. My advice is to check all your tacos before you start eating them and make sure to verify they know it is gluten free while ordering and when it arrives. You may also want to ask specifically that the person making the tacos changes their gloves.
They had everything labeled on the menu what was gluten free and vegan if you are vegan. Very good tacos, I got 1 crunchy and on soft corn. Loved them both.
Love it ! Many choice of tacos available :)
