Barrio is a restaurant that combines Mexican cuisine with innovative craft cocktails in an energetic urban environment.

Our menu takes a modern approach to Mexican Cuisine, with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients. To deliver the highest possible quality, we make most of our ingredients on-site, from our fresh tomato salsas to our handmade tortillas to our slow-smoked pork.

Our cocktail and spirits program has been recognized as one of the strongest in the Puget Sound. In addition, we offer an excellent selection of beer and an array of wines (both by the glass and bottle).

Very good Brunch food and beverage choices. We sat near the garage door type windows and were able enjoy the outdoors without actually being outside. Our waiter was friendly and took care of us well, even given us great recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their meals! Place was not busy at 11:30a so we didn’t feel rushed or that our conversations where being drowned out.

The staff and the food was exceptional as usual. Our server Marlene was outstanding. So helpful and fun. We love Barrio. HAven't been in a while so it was fun to see that it's still a great place to meet and eat with friends.

Loved our sweet hostess, servers and the food. Tacos were fresh, delicious and tasty. Hadn’t been there in several years and was happy to see the original cool, upscale vibe in place. Thanks!

Trendy but not pretentious, really great staff, smaller menu (a good thing in my opinion), and phenomenal food. A bit noisy for a date, but perfectly fine for socializing.

Seattle Turns Up the Sizzle for Restaurant Week

On the eastern shore of Puget Sound along the Pacific coastline, of which Seattle shares more 200 miles of shoreline, it seems like every street has something to reel in eager diners.
