Great atmosphere (Pablos House upstairs) great food, loud music if you want to do a meeting, food was excellent, great shared plates( can order from main menu in Baro as well). Service was a little slow but maybe short staffed. Waitress was excellent. Knew bar and food menu well.

My husband and I went to Baro for our Saturday date night. I was really wanting a fun night out and that it was! Our server Jade was amazing! She had great energy and made every recommendation sound delicious!! From the margaritas to every dish we had afterwards, everything was a “have again”! I can’t wait to go back!

Okay - until 3pm very limited menu. Rather expensive place. Cocktails are pricy - I paid $18+ tax and tip for a Caesar… went down the street after and paid $5.50 for one the same size same amount of alcohol. Tasted even better then the prior. Upscale and pricy. Didn’t try the food but looked like high quality. You see them cook it as the kitchen is open concept by the bar

I’m from Peru, and the fusion that they try to do between Peru and Mexico does not work. My rice was so fry and the chicken had too much soy sauce. Sorry

Have been dining here multiple times. Their duck fried rice is my (and others’) all time favorite! Service is great as always. It can get a bit noisy but that’s just people having a really good time here! Recommended if you go with friends to enjoy good food and drink and have fun.

We work in the industry and it's a rare occasion to be able to go out on a Friday night. It was our first time at Baro this evening, and we already can't wait to be back. The food was incredible and very well recommended by our amazing server Amaliya. She guided us through the menu and made excellent recommendations based on what we told her our tastes were. Definitely will be back for the Octopus, Duck Fried Rice, and the personalized service! Thank you for making our first experience so special and memorable. Chris and Jill

Went for brunch with friends and we were all surprised by how delicious it was. The egg yolks were rich and all of the ingredients were fresh and good quality. The toasted quinoa on salad were a nice crunch and touch too. Would definitely recommend and will be going again.

Food was overpriced but great! Prices are higher for small qty of food disappointment. The shareable size plates are not enough to share for 2 or more people. We end up getting food elsewhere after. Service and environment nice except to loud music and can’t to talk at the table and hear with your group. Great food but not for shareable sizes as portion small.
