“ If I could give this place a 100 star I would .. from the food, the way it looks, the staff each and every last one of them were so accommodating! The food was amazing and I don’t usually eat Hispanic food . All the tables were clean and the ladies worked hard to make sure my space and everyone else who was there soace was clean . One of the best bars I’ve visited in Boise . 20/10 I’d recommend this to anybody ”
“ I don’t know how this place is only 4 stars. Their tacos are awesome, the tequila flight is outstanding and Sam the server is equally outstanding. She was attentive and engaging. Definitely coming back and the churros at the end were a huge wonderful surprise ”
“ Great little spot for some upscale tacos or try the quesadilla. The Margarita was excellent. ”
“ The food and atmosphere are phenomenal. My expectations were exceeded and the barrio margarita was one of the absolute smoothest I have had. I did not have the opportunity to try any additional drinks but to have amazing food and drinks, yes please. I will definitely be back! Thank you for the amazing experience! I ordered the chips and guac with salsa, quesabirria, and steak quesadilla. All completely wonderful! ”
“ First off I want to say, thank you to whoever is the mind behind this gem and I hope you keep doing what you are doing! Drinks: amazing! Food: a party in my mouth! Decor: on point Order and pay system: modern and so fast! If you see any negative reviews it’s all around the way you pay and order. Get over it people. Going on my phone and ordering a drink and 5 min or less later having that drink delivered in my book I magic. Get with the times! The staff is friendly and water was at our table before I took my jacket off. Food came out so fast I thought maybe they were back there reading my mind or something. Not only is this place cutting edge I wish more restaurants followed suit. Go here! Enjoy and tell a friend. You’ll thanks me. Cheers ”
“ 2/10/24 Great afternoon at Barria! We loved it the adult only atmosphere. Our server was amazing (forgot her name but long dark hair).
