Barrios Mexican Cantina

Yes, Barrios, you have a dedicated fan now! Since my last review, lots has changed about this place and only in a good way! They added an outdoor, dog-friendly patio and a new bar inside. Each time I've come now, that place has been clean and inviting! The service has been great - prompt, attentive, and friendly. But as a taco-loving Texan who now resides in TN, I have to say this is the BEST Mexican food in town. They have the best salsa, margaritas, and everything I've ordered, from tacos to brunch items to green chili has been yummy! While the salsa has been toned down for the 'can't handle the heat' locals - just ask your server for something else with more spice. They will accommodate you. There's some salsa Verde and tomatillo salsa that has a bit more kick and is my go-to! And the

We order the Barrios Fajitas & Parraiallada. Mix and Match four tacos. And the Concha ice cream sandwich. Evaristo, our server went above and beyond quality of service.

The tacos are delicious! We got the sampler and I loved the variety! Sosa was a great server and he made sure we always had anything we wanted quickly

I’ve been searching for an authentic Mexican food in Oak Ridge. This place hits all the right notes. Good ambience, good margaritas, and great food! I got the carnitas for dinner and the portion was huge! The rice was the perfect Mexican rice. Also, the salsa was the best I’ve had in oak ridge! I will definitely return!

WOW!! It's so good. Greeted immediately. Margaritas were on point. We had the quesabirria, enchilada suprema, and burrito deluxe. Presentation was excellent, and quickly made. The salsa!! The salsa was spectacularly made, just the right amount of heat, not any chunks of tomato or onion, cilantro was just right. Service was great, didn't feel rushed or forgotten. He was able to answer questions about the menu. We will definitely be back!!
