My server Mel was great. Very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was loud so I had to shout across my four top but I did like the atmosphere and decor. Although, we did have to do a lot of shuffling around to fit the shared plates on the table for a place whose aim is all shared plates. It’s a fun place to go for a night with friends. The food was not incredible for the portion/price point. It was a little bland honestly, like it was lacking salt. I’ve had much better Mexican food in the “elevated/authentic” category. Drinks were very good. I would go again but I wouldn’t run back.

Absolutely delicious. In fact the food was very special. This is not your typical Mex restaurant. Also, they have extra special surprises for celebrating a birthday, which surprised and delighted us. Finally, I would recommend sitting at the chef counter. It is a unique experience and worth it. Also Learned about their happy hour specials, which are delicious and with the trip.
Barrio Costero- Asbury ParkResponded on February 27, 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled that you found the food special and that you enjoyed the birthday surprise—it’s always our goal to make celebrations extra memorable! The chef’s counter is one of our favorite spots too, and we’re so glad you had a great experience there. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon, maybe for another round of happy hour specials!

We love Barrio, food, service & drinks are phenomenal. BUT they really need to get their payment terminals figured out. This is the second time we’ve dined and had issues. This time, the people sitting next to us check was added to our bill. Thankfully I noticed, but not something you should have to deal with when you’re spending $200+
Barrio Costero- Asbury ParkResponded on February 27, 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words about our food, drinks, and service—we truly appreciate your support! We’re really sorry about the payment issue, and we completely understand how frustrating that must have been. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our guests, and we’re looking into it to make sure it doesn’t happen again. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to welcome you back for a smoother experience next time!
