" After numerous visits to Bàrbaro, I’m consistently impressed by the quality and authenticity of the food. Each dish I’ve ordered—from tacos to enchiladas—has been bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoy their special mole sauce; it’s rich and complex, a real delight. The staff here are always friendly, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. I can't recommend their fresh juices enough as well. Overall, a fantastic experience every single time! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible dining experience! Bàrbaro Taqueria truly brings the flavors of Mexico to Chicago. I started with their homemade guacamole, which was packed with flavor, and then I moved on to the birria tacos that were just out of this world. The tortillas are freshly made and you can really taste the difference. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole meal even more enjoyable. I can't recommend this place enough, and I already can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm always on the hunt for authentic Mexican cuisine and Bàrbaro Taqueria hits the mark! The birria tacos were a standout, rich in flavor and served with a side of the most delicious consomme. I also loved their spicy guacamole, which packs a good kick. The ambiance is bustling, but it still feels cozy—perfect for a night out with friends. A small note is that sometimes the service can be slow when it's busy, but it's worth the wait for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Though I had high expectations based on previous reviews, my recent visit to Bàrbaro was somewhat disappointing. The enchiladas were good, but not as flavorful as I hoped. The service was average—friendly but not overly attentive. The ambiance was nice, but it felt too loud on a busy weekend. I think the portions were slightly small for the price. Maybe I just hit it on an off night, as I had heard many good things before! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to Bàrbaro for years and it never disappoints! The flavors are consistently excellent, especially the tacos al pastor—they're my absolute favorite! They have a lovely outdoor patio which is great for summer evenings. The vibe is casual yet chic, making it perfect for both dinner dates and casual nights out with friends. It's consistently my go-to for satisfying my Mexican cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bàrbaro has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the city. The vibe is eclectic and welcoming, and the food is a true homage to traditional Mexican cuisine. I ordered the tamales and they were melted in my mouth, very authentic! The cocktails were a delight and very well-prepared. A cozy little spot that I can see myself frequenting often. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Bàrbaro was amazing! The decor is vibrant and captures the spirit of a true taqueria. Each dish I ordered showcased quality ingredients, especially the spicy shrimp tacos! The service was friendly and quick, even on a busy evening. I can't wait to return again to explore more items on their menu. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Mexican food!
