The service is exceptional, with a friendly and attentive staff that ensures every detail is perfect. From the vibrant atmosphere to the delicious dishes, this place truly stands out as a must-visit!

Upon arrival, I was able to pull my previously made reservation forward which was totally appreciated. We were served by a very friendly gentleman with an uplifting personality who recently moved from DFW, excellent service. Food was pretty good, we tried the fish and lamb tacos and I was able to have the kale salad and add fried cod to it, the avocado Serrano sauce combined with capers was amazing but rather spicy for people who don't have tolerance for spicy. I was impressed by the drink choices and their presentation. Last not least, dessert was pretty good too.

He's a cute spot to dine on Tex-Mex inspired food. Prices are reasonable, but I cannot say the same for the portions. The portions are dainty and cute. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Oh and do not rx[ECT to get rice or beans with your entree like the usual Mexican or Tex Mex restaurants. I mean, you CAN order it for extra. The warm salsa was a nice touch along with their tortilla chips. I recommend this spot for socializing with friends and to catch up. Nice chill vibes and the staff were friendly.

My friends and I had an amazing experience at Barrios Fine Mexican Dishes! We indulged in their tacos and fajitas, which were both flavorful and satisfying. The chips and salsa were fresh and perfectly seasoned. The drinks were also fantastic, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. A special shoutout to Creg, our server, who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. His attentiveness and friendly service truly enhanced our dining experience. Highly recommend this spot for great food and exceptional service!

I went here for there $10 lunch deal (limited time offer I’m sure) this week and was blown away. This is my 1st time in and I was impressed with how nice it is inside. The chips were obviously made seconds before they were brought to us and the salsa was very unique and delicious. We had the stacked enchiladas which were so good and had a unique flavor of their own. This experience and meal was totally amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

🌮 Barrios Mexican Restaurant - OKC Review 🌮 If you’re in Oklahoma City and craving Mexican food, Barrios Mexican Restaurant is a must-visit! From the moment the chips and salsa hit the table, I knew I was in for a treat. The chips were warm and crisp, paired with a salsa that had just the right amount of spice and flavor—absolutely out of this world! 🌟 For my entrée, I had the Beef Skirt Adobo, and WOW. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with smoky, rich adobo flavor. Every bite was a masterpiece. 🥩🔥 And let’s talk about the margaritas… 🍹💃 Perfectly balanced, refreshing, and dangerously delicious. They truly rounded out the whole dining experience. Barrios is the perfect spot for amazing food, great vibes, and unforgettable drinks. Can’t wait to return! 🌟🌮🍹

This was an amazing surprise on my trip to OKC. When you walk in, you are greeted with a warm smile. The welcome aroma of the wood fired grill is immediately noticed. The avacado margarita is a must have! Can't wait to go back.

First time experience here. Despite it being a Saturday evening we were able to get an outside table fairly quickly. The ambiance was fantastic and service was good. We started with an order of queso fundido with addition of chorizo sausage. For dinner we had Braised Beef Short Rib Enchiladas and Hot Chicken Sopes. Had their version of an old fashion made with tequila. It was a miss for me, but whiskey is my preference so maybe swayed by that. Will definitely be returning for new delicacies! Would recommend

Had Whitney and Tina as servers at the bar last night. Food, drinks and service were great! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff with great recommendations on the menu! Will definitely be back! I'm also new to town and they welcomed me and gave me all the best places to visit and dine.

Barrios is the spot. I come here at least once a week for happy hour, and honestly, I don't see that changing anytime soon. The vibe is always great; the service and food are solid. First off, their Frozen Avocado Drink is something special. It's not what you'd expect; it's super smooth, icy, and refreshing with a bright lime flavor. It doesn't taste like avocado; it's just creamy and light in the best way possible. As for the food, I've eaten my way through the menu, and I have some clear favorites: -Beef Skirt Adobo Fajitas - Packed with flavor, perfectly cooked. -Lamb Barbacoa & Pork Cheek Tacos - Juicy, tender, and worth it. -Braised Beef Short Rib Enchiladas & Short Rib Tinga Chalupa - If you love short rib, do yourself a favor and order these. - Steak Quesadilla - Simple but done so right. It's cheesy and crispy, and I always end up with leftovers for the next day, which is a win. -Lawson Taco Salad - Surprisingly filling and super fresh. (You can also add on different meats for an additional $) And let's talk about dessert, their Grilled Pineapple Tres Leches. Hands down, the best tres leches I've ever had. The grilled pineapple adds this caramelized sweetness that takes it to another level. It's rich, moist, and the perfect way to end the meal. But honestly, the biggest reason I keep coming back? The homemade chips and salsa. They serve warm, crispy chips with a smoky salsa that I could drink straight from the bowl. It's that good. I'd probably still come here just for the chips and salsa alone.

The first time I came here it was for lunch with my wife about three years ago. It was a generally pleasant lunch, with one regrettable incident. I ordered an iced tea, then later in the meal, when offered a refill I said yes. When the bill came, after I had already paid, I realized that they charged me full price for an iced tea refill. Really?? It's tea. Come on, now. I didn't want to bother the staff for a $3.00 refund, so we just left. The petty millennial in me vowed to never return. Yet, there are few decent lunch options online downtown OKC during the workweek, so eventually I relented. I've since been back here a few times. Anyway, parking is tough in the area. This latest visit I was able to snag a spot right by the front door, but more often I have to park about a block away. The interior is beautifully decorated, with comfortable leather chairs at each table in the spacious dining room. It's a nice atmosphere. The food doesn't quite live up to the "upscale" cuisine that you would expect given the otherwise swanky interior, but it's still pretty decent. I especially like the guacamole and chips. The chicken enchiladas were nothing special. Not bad, but not any better than you could get at any number of hole-in-the-wall spots around OKC. Overall 4/5. Good option if you work in downtown OKC and need a place for a comfortable sit-down lunch.

we had a reservation for dinner for six of us and were seated as soon as we got to the restaurant. The service was slow at first, but it seemed like our waiter didn't know that we had been seated. We're given a variety of salsas, which were all delicious along with their freshly fried chips. I had the lamb Barbacoa, which was absolutely delicious! my only complaint is that the portion sizes are pretty small here for the price that's charged. So maybe try going family style and ordering a variety of things. We chose to sit outside and we're happy to find that there was a fire pit and warmers for each individual table. even though it got a little chilly after the sun went down, we were able to keep warm!

Exceptional margarita's. Awesome service from Tina & Whitney at the bar. The appetizers and food is so good.

10's across the board. I've been a few times before but never got to eat in the patio area. It's now my favorite! The fans, the shade, the people watching. One of the best patios in OKC to me. I was waiting for my bestie and it was her birthday so I had chips and salsa and enjoyed a drink until she got there. It had gummies in it and was so good. She got there and we ordered. I was basic and got the chicken quesadilla and she got the shortrib dish. Both were so good!!!! The spices they used on the chicken were really good. Our server was outstanding. I had a mojito and a remixed dark and stormy. All were great and shout out to the waitress for knowing the right rum for a true dark and stormy and apologizing for them not having it. Can't wait to dine on the patio again.

Not what we expected, compared to other Mexican restaurants in OKC. The food was barely warmed and thus our enchiladas got tough and less enjoyable before we finished. The al a carte side was expensive and not memorable, not enough to share for $5 plate of refried beans. There were only 2 small enchiladas per plate. Also major parking problems at 3:45 pm in the area. On the + side, there's great ambience inside; patio was recommended, but not offered by our host. Service was warm and attentive; evening staff came in during our meal. I suspect the cocktails and beer hours are more popular. Our memory will be the enchiladas with pickled shallots used as both garnish and filling.

Adding another review her because we met up here for our monthly Holloway Inn of Court Executive Committee meeting. Their Mexican Wedding iced tea I swear behind, it is like an Arnold Palmer leveled up on crack, in a good way I promise. Also got the fish tacos which were excellent. Have to try some of their more unique or new dishes next time like the salmon. Service was also great and the servers would automatically and continuously fill up my tea. Interior vibe also very chill and spacious (with an outdoor patio for dining as well)!

Fun place that brings some unique ideas to Mexican food that adds some fun flair. It is right in the heart of downtown OKC, and super close to a lot of other fun areas. We went to a Christmas market with my sister, brother in law, and husband right before, and it was right next door. Parking can be difficult but it's worth it! We started out with the chips and salsa. The salsa was a perfect combination of both smoky and fresh tasting. I'm normally more into the lime-y, cilantro-y salsa, but it was a perfect amount of smokiness. The chips! The chips. Amazing! They were thick and had so much flavor even on their own! We also got a sangria and the house margarita to start, which were very reasonably priced and flavorful. For our meal, my sister got the enchiladas, and I got the hot chicken sopes and my husband got the roasted chicken soup with masa dumplings. They were all great! The soup was very fresh tasting and reasonably priced. The enchiladas were flavorful and had a great sauce, but were very small. It was just enough food for my sister with the Chips and salsa, but they are about the size of a Taquito. The green sauce on them is delicious! My favorite was the hot chicken sopes. They were sooooo creative and had an AMAZING flavor. The sopes themselves were thick and had a wonderful texture to them, and the hot chicken was just spicy enough without being too greasy. They were absolutely delicious! Loved them so much. Our server was nice as well, and attentive. Great little place!

The server was great, friendly staff. It was very hot and humid inside. The food was okay, pretty basic. The flavors were not as complex as I wished. They do have a great habenero salsa that you should try.

From the Hospitality to the food, Barrios is step above the average.. The setting was inviting and warming. Looking forward to another great date night at Barrios.

Delicious food & drinks. Drink options are very unique The portions are just enough Service staff was very friendly I do wish the music wasn't as loud but Overall Would recommend!

The food, drinks and service was great! 10 out of 10 recommend! We went for a 21st bday and the waitress was great at catering to our needs, recommending drinks to the new drinker, as well as suggesting meals for those that haven't been before.

Amazing drinks, good & service. Loved how involved management was. I wish we could've remembered our bartenders names but we she was blonde(not sure if that helps we wanted her to be recognized!) she got us to try the new empanadas and it was so good! Will be back to have another drink soon!

Couldn't even sit down! SO many tables were open and they said they couldn't sit us till 8 pm it was 5 o'clock. Customer service was HORRIBLE at the hostess. In this day and age you shouldn't turn walk ins away when you have a half empty restaurant because you had "reservations". I've ate here before and let me tell you it's just a walk in restaurant you shouldn't need reservations it's not that nice lol!

Absolutely love Barrios! It is our little spot to bring any visitor to OKC. Everything we have had here is superb and service is extremely superior to others in town. The chips, omg the chips, are the most amazing and the crispiest!! I usually eat so much im nearly full by the time my entree comes out!! But the entrees guys are so great! The last time we went we all got different entrees and everything was amazing! We had the fajitas (steak), lamb tacos, fish tacos, daily bowl special and the kids cheese quesadillas with chicken. We had Blake as a server and he was fantastic!! I was intrigued at how well he kept up with my family (my boys drank like they had been deprived for ages!!!)

Very nice atmosphere. Decorated nicely; we were greeted and seated promptly; wait staff very friendly. The chips are thick and tasty. The salsa is a dark, smoky flavor which I enjoyed after a couple of bites! My drink, the Whoopy-do. Basi was very tasty but definitely sweet. My husband had the Frozen Avocado and loved it. I had the short rib enchiladas with an added side of street corn and my husband had the chicken enchiladas with an added side of Brussels sprouts. The food was fresh, hot and extremely flavorful! We would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Barrios is a fun flair on Mexican dining right in the heart of downtown OKC. Parking isn't the best, but it's worth circling the corner a few times to find a space. I hate that they don't offer the mango guacamole anymore, it used to be one of my favorite things! Now, I always opt for the Lawson's Taco Salad. It's so fresh and filling. You also have the option to add a shrimp, salmon, chicken, or beef protein for an additional charge. They also have a nice, shaded patio that is designed to be enjoyed year round! Stop in for a fun night out or as a lunchtime option.

Our party of 4 arrived at a busy dinner time on a Friday night , said Aprox an hour wait so we went to the empty bar (duh) . Bartender was good and attentive, knowledgeable about the drinks . I had the short rib chalupa and it was delicious , wifey had the fish tacos and claimed they were the best she'd ever had , so that's a plus ! The drinks were oh so unique and delicious , one was the cactus fruit slushie (delicious) and next I had a mango*nada but added a shot of tequila. Man !!!!! Well done

Hadn't been here in a couple of years and the food was even better than I remember. Roasted chicken enchiladas are my new favorite and the salsa was great!

This place is incredibly beautiful and welcoming. The service was good and attentive and food, ah the food; this has become my favorite Mexican place in town. I will definitely come back.

Love Barrios! Food, drinks, and service is always great! Great place for a date night or just a night with friends!

Some friends and I came here for a friend's 27th birthday! Booking a reservation (done by a friend) seemed to be straightforward and they gave us a sizable table somewhat tucked away in the corner. The lighting and layout (open concept for all the tables) of the restaurant are a nice change of pace. We were seated and attended to promptly for drinks. After that, the service was not so prompt. Our primary waitress - I believe her name was Irene - was very kind and knowledgeable about the menu. However, the food took quite a bit of time to come out (even for a larger group) and the checks were slow to arrive back once we had our cards there. It was certainly a busy night (a Friday), but not to an extent that warranted the wait times. Nevertheless, the food here is great! I asked if I was able to pair two different tacos together and the answer was in the affirmative. The pork cheek taco was juicy and well balanced with the tang of the pickled onion against the fatty pork. The fish taco was crisp and the sauce accompanying it was very tasty with a nice level of spice. Could have used just a touch more salt on the fish. The brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes were as expected, which is a good thing. I also got a drink - some sort of rum slushie with sour gummy worms (not depicted) - which was subtly sweet and paired nicely with the meal. The complimentary chips are stellar - remarkably crispy. The salsa is also great, but we definitely could've used a few more bowls of it, as they didn't seem to fill the bowls up all that much (maybe 40% of the way). I find the prices pretty reasonable. Some petition that sides don't accompany the dishes, but that's pretty standard for middle/upper scale Mexican cuisine nowadays. For a restaurant of this caliber near downtown, I paid about $30 for all of the above and I would be happy to pay it again. Overall, Barrios is a very enjoyable experience. Tidy up efficiency on service - again, the wait staff was very kind - and it'll be a 5/5!

Ambiance: Upscale, Mexican place! Cacti when you walk in, restaurant looks put together. Service: Fantastic! Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. Helped us make choices on food/drinks. Food: Delicious! The guacamole wasn't my personal favorite (too much avocado, needed other flavors to balance), but the lamb birria tacos, the margaritas (Avocado, Habanero/Guava) and the desserts were fantastic! Would return, would recommend!

Most amazing food. The salsa is my absolute favorite. It is smoky and rich with just the right amount of heat. I had the nachos and fish tacos. I can highly recommend both. Service was very good. Sandra was our waitress and she went over and above.

This is my all time favorite Mexican food restaurant in OKC. The salsa is roasted and amazing. Always get the queso fondido appetizer & the incredible (and cheap) side plate of roasted sweet potatoes & brussel sprouts. My favorite is the perfectly done chicken fajitas, and the salmon is also so so good. The ambiance is upscale but not pretentious with a respectful nod to Mexican authenticity via real Equipale chairs in the dining room. The patio is so perfect, especially when the weather is great. Think clean, wood, wrought iron, throw pillows everywhere, and great party lights. It is a wonderful place for a date or a group. The service has always been attentive and respectful. I have been very impressed every time I visit. I can't wait to go back.

Great atmosphere, laid back lunch, very nice. Everyone was friendly music fits the atmosphere. Food was all freshly made and chip and salsa. Salsa was warmed up and lots of favor not spicy at all. We give this place 5 stop reading and head over.

It was okay. I had the steak fajitas ($27). It was just okay. Some of my meat was tough and I felt like it lacked a balance of salt and heat. The tortillas were very good but the rest of the rolls felt common but not "fine."

Whitney at the bar was amazing. Food was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back!

First thing first. Reservations. Weeknights you could get by if it's a Monday-Wednesday. But Thursday-Sunday you are going to likely wait a very long time so grab a reservation if you can. This our favorite go-to date night. We loooove it. I also love that they don't keep you waiting when you have a reservation. They have a great system and they know what they are doing. The Mexican flair of their food is fantastic. The flavor is so full and the pepper on your fajita plate packs a LOT of heat so beware. Their fresh tortillas are addictive so don't say i didn't warn you if you order them. The fire-roasted style salsa is has just the right amount of smokiness to it. The chips are always fresh. Guac is sooooooo good. We love the steak fajitas. Hands down best we have had anywhere. We love pretty much all the side options. We haven't had anything we haven't enjoyed here so take your pick!

Classy Mexican dining experience. Love the unique menu options and original recipes here. The inside and outside patio are both aesthetic options! Service was just okay but overall a good experience!

Whitney and Tina were amazing at the bar. Appreciate them both! Top notch. Frozen Avocado and Guava Habanero margs

The warm roasted salsa gives full body chills much like a rousing chorus in a Christian megachurch. The avocado margarita is a thing of urban myths and legends; it will inspire, it will cause you to hunger for another realm simply by a taste of it. The special is consistently perfect; the fajitas are to die for. Fish tacos your thing? Solid. Restricting carbs? Get the mexican caesar and it'll blow your mind. It's a fantastic ambiance-- mood lighting framed by neomodern welding and rustic wood. Take your 1st date or your 3rd year anniversary and roll out the red carpet. Barrios is the light in the darkness in a world that grows cold.

Won't lie, I was very disappointed by this place. We're from out of town and we're looking for some Mexican food and Yelp steered us towards this place being on of the best in OKC. The staff was friendly at first but took forever to get us our drinks and food order (even though it looked like the place was only moderately busy and they had 5 servers on staff). The Tex Mex queso was okay, felt like it was missing some type of heat. The beer Rita was good, just not worth the $12. And the pork cheek taco was tasty, but SUPER wet to the point you couldn't pick it up and eat it like a taco should be, had to fork and knife it. Sad this didn't meet our expectations, and would not recommend. Surprising this was so high up there on yelps suggestions in this area for Mexican. Overpriced and underwhelmed for sure.

The food is always fresh and excellent! The fajitas are a favorite. Great atmosphere and cool outdoor seating.

First, parking for this restaurant is a nightmare. Not necessarily the restaurants fault but it took us 30 minutes to find a spot on a Friday night: Food quality has changed and so has management. We had a reservation at 7:45 and they told us we'd be seated in a few minutes. We watched multiple people get seated before we were and I had to go up to the front desk and ask if they forgot about us because high they said they did. When we were seated outside they gave us the usual chips and salsa and we noticed the salsa tasted kind of funny/sour and it was much darker than usual. We asked our waiter and he said he did notice it was an usual color but he gave it to us anyway. He brought us another batch and it was a completely different color, much lighter red and it tasted like their usual smoky chipotle flavor. Why bring out a bad product and serve it to customers? I have no idea. The food here is pricey as the sides do not come with the entree and it's all a la carte. Definitely will be cautious of coming here in the future based on this experience.

Went for Valentine's Day! As usual this place does not disappoint. Had the guac, steak fajitas & the daily special which was Carne Asada. Chips are maybe the only weak point as I like thin and salty chips better. Solid service and the place wasn't too noisy to have a conversation!

We love Barrios - the atmosphere, service, and elevated Mexican food and drinks are all fantastic. We were also able to walk right in on a Friday night! Our group of 3 ordered: -drinks: seasonal sangria, house margarita, pineapple margarita (would order each again) -appetizer: queso fundido (delicious!) + complimentary chips and salsa (FYI: chips are thick, salsa is served warm with little to no spice) -entree: steak fajitas (the only entree in the menu that comes with sides - we swapped out the beans and rice for brussel sprouts and broccolini and added street corn and were not disappointed!) -bday dessert: churros (perfection) We will be back!

So delicious!!! We had a friendly waitress and she made sure I was celebrated well for my birthday! Barrios has such a fun and eclectic vibe to it!

10/10. This place combines the taste of traditional Mexican dishes and Tex-Mex. Chips and salsa are great. The original salsa comes out warm, and it's full of flavor. I also asked for their habanero salsa, and it definitely comes with a kick! For my entree, I ordered the chicken sopes. My first time trying a chicken sope! Amazing flavors. The chicken was so moist and spiced really well. The entree is definitely filling. I ate one and took the other to go. I've also been back once more after this and tried the fish. Amazing. Also such a big portion I ate half and took the other home. Reasonable prices. Ambiance is nice. Parking can be hard to find. Service is wonderful! They also take the Keep It Local OK cards for a discount on your final bill. Definitely recommend trying this place out!

Gorgeous restaurant with wonderful lighting and cactuses throughout. The service was the worst we've ever experienced. Jason, the waiter, took our drink orders and asked if we wanted any appetizers. We ordered margs and queso. He then comes back and asks if we wanted snacks or any alcoholic beverages...um we just ordered 5 minutes ago. I didn't put it past him, we all forget. The queso was very bland, the chips were so hard and thick you could chip your teeth, and the marg tasted like a premix. Next we ordered food, quesadillas and chalupas. Both not tasting good and lacking flavor. Waiter never comes to refill our drinks. He brings chips and says "you don't need chips right?" Who does that? Would never come back.

I love barrios! The avocado marg is to die for and I have yet to have a food item here I didn't love. The ambiance is gorgeous and three have a fantastic patio out back. Definitely recommend!

It's been a full day since my group ate here and we can't stop talking about how good it was. My sister got some extra of the salsa to go cuz it was that good. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and they were WILD. So flavorful. I didn't realize when I ordered them that they don't come with sides (I didn't look at the menu very closely) so after they were delivered I asked for a side of the street corn. It was delicious. The drinks were all very good as well. Finally, the restaurant was willing to accommodate our group despite arriving shortly before closing. A great meal and experience.

I grew up In Texas so I have always been used to Tex Mex. Barrios has a delicious menu, crunchy thick chips, garden fresh guac and salsa, and an amazing drink menu. We celebrated our friends 50th birthday here and loved everything we tried. Some of the cocktails have frozen treat popsicles and ice in them! So cute! My chicken enchiladas were delicious as well. Will be back to enjoy more of the menu and the food was better than I remembered and don't be afraid to try their non traditional sides because like the kids say these days that broccolini is fire

Excellent food, served hot and quickly! The Short Rib Tinga Chalupa was outstanding and paired with the avocado margarita you can't go wrong. Look forward to returning soon!! Thank you Barrios for a great experience!

First time visiting, and it was awesome! Fresh, hot chips with smokey salsa. We added the queso, I dont like queso, but this was amazing. I added hot sauce, and it sent it over the top. I had Ahi tacos, and the wife had the fish tacos, we were blown away with the flavor profiles. Check them out!

I'm the one that recommended this place because it was fairly close to our offices. I could've done better. We've been there before and I love the décor and I remember the food fondly. Service was so slow! The salsa was good and chips were re-delivered. (Thank goodness because we had to wait so long for our food.) We ordered and one of us asked about cilantro in the chicken enchiladas (a food allergy thing). The waitress said she would check. Twenty minutes later she returned to say that the cilantro was cooked with the chicken and did the diner want to sub in grilled chicken for an upcharge? I don't think any of our order had even been started by that time. I ordered the taco salad. Please be aware it's one of the healthier options meaning it's full of kale and quinoa and beans. I didn't mind it but one of us did not like the kale at all. I'll probably remain mute or suggest another lunch spot. (We were there for over 90 minutes.)

One word, WOW Our first time going, no reservation needed. The inside was beautiful with big windows letting in plenty of natural light. The staff must have been competing who could offer the best customer service because everyone was super friendly! The chairs were unique, ive never seen any like them before. The food was perfect! Queso was amazing and it really brought out the roasted tomatoes- and the mexican street corn was the best Ive had yet!

If you enjoy burnt mexican style corn without seasoning, this may be your place. This was my first time here. The restaurant was mostly empty, yet we were seated right next to 4 very loud and obnoxious patrons. We were so close it felt like we were all having dinner together. The menu, I kid you not, is limited to about 20 options. We had the steak quesidilla and lamb tacos. Both were okay, but not worth the $50 we paid. The street corn, again, was burnt, and there was something purple in the quesidilla. This is the whitest most hipster version of Hispanic food I've ever encountered. Even the ambiance music was limited to dad rock. Experience at your own peril.
