Barrio Tacos locations in Michigan have been sued for alleged wage theft | Eater Detroit

"The East Lansing franchise, opened by owner Jacob Hawley in 2020, is one of three Michigan locations named in a U.S. Department of Labor lawsuit alleging widespread Fair Labor Standards Act violations. The complaint—filed Sept. 7 in federal court—claims that for at least the past two years employees were forced into an unlawful tip-sharing scheme requiring them to give a portion of their tips to managers after each shift, who then redistributed those tips to non-tipped staff; tipped workers were also allegedly paid below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Investigators say overtime was calculated using the lower tip-credit rate instead of the applicable minimum wage and that accurate records of hourly rates and overtime were not kept. The Wage and Hour Division seeks $823,324 in back wages and liquidated damages on behalf of 177 workers and has assessed $23,904 in civil penalties against Hawley and the three franchise locations; the restaurants are part of a chain founded in 2012 that previously faced unrelated legal controversy over its concept." - Serena Maria Daniels

It's a great place to eat outside on nice days, and service is superb. The food is like most everything in a Midwest college town, a bit bland but ok. Drinks weren't bad, but wine selection was very limited. Inside can get really loud, outside is the place to be if you just want to enjoy the evening. Gets very crowded later in the evening. Service really was great.

Stopped here with my mom after helping my sister move in. The atmosphere is definitely college town vibes. Lots of seating, both inside and outside. Nice decor and it was very clean. The staff were very friendly but service was not great. We ordered a drink when our dinner was served. We ended up waiting almost 30 minutes for the drink to arrive. At that time, we had finished our dinners. We then waited an additional 10 minutes for our leftover containers & bill. They were not that busy, so I am unsure of what the issue was. The food was okay, but nothing incredible. It was hot and came relatively quickly. But I was not impressed with the flavor. I am hopeful that I can visit again and receive better service and a better meal.

We had a nice server. Service was quick. The music was too loud. Tacos were mid. The flavor of canned corn is distracting and...bad? I've always hated canned vegetables. Maybe it's just me but I'm feeling like it's better to just make food at home since I can at least get fresh ingredients then. The taco bowl my husband ordered was VERY salty and I probably wouldn't have eaten it if I'd ordered it. It was my first time going and I don't feel a strong drive to return given the cost and the result. Expensive food that is just *fine* is why I don't try new places or really even eat out anymore.

Awesome chic interior with expensive sloppy garbage food. Probably the second time in my life I didn’t finish eating a taco. Done with this chain.

My kid who's just finished a soccer tournament came here an was excited about the hash browns. We were really disappointed to find that we received the Hashbrowns in a small condiment container. that was all of 1/32 of a tiny potato diced up. My kid was starving and i felt like that was false advertisement as the menu should have indicated that this was not enough for a meal. We spent a lot of money at this restaurant tonight and we are just very disappointed.

To keep it PG, incredibly rude service, ladies at the register had us wait TWO HOURS for a table all for them to kick us off the list once the wait was over. My whole family was shocked with how rude they were. Completely blew us off when we asked them about it so we left. Good food but that’s unacceptable. I hope that server gets buttons and paper clips for all her tips today lol

We’ve been to Barrio many times in many locations, and loved it so much we had them cater our wedding. The food was incredible (resounding compliments from our guests) and the experience was incredibly easy. Thanks, Barrio!

Unique build your own street taco restaurant. You order with a paper checksheet were you can build your own tacos or choose from the chef specials. Large drink menu with a variety of margaritas and other specialty drinks Service was quick and the atmosphere was punk, modern. Chips and salsa come with the meal with the option for additional flavors and spice levels.
