delicious and flavorful. the crispy pork belly was bliss. the palabok was so tasty and an amazing portion size. the skewers - can't get enough of them. ordered four plates to share. looking forward to my next visit already!

Came here for the Filipino cuisine and it did not disappoint. The crispy pata was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and the palabok was one of the best I’ve had in Halifax. Our server was very attentive and the music/atmosphere was very nice. A decent beer selection on tap as well. Will definitely return!

A great spot for delicious Filipino bar/traditional food. I had the tacos on taco Tuesday for $5 each, and the bbq skewers. Pork taco (Sisig) - 9/10 (Crispy and juicy pork bits) Fish taco - 9/10 (Crispy and big piece of fish) Pork BBQ skewers - 9/10 (Crispy, juicy chunks of Pork with a BBQ style sauce) Customer service - 10/10

We’ve always loved Barrio’s but when a supplier where I usually order is fully booked for our event, had to try Barrios and no regrets! Thumbs up for the pork barbecue, crispy pork kare- kare, fresh spring roll and fish fillet party trays. I don’t eat pork so I haven’t really tried the crispy pork and menudo. Luckily, they were able to arrange delivery from Halifax to Kentville! What a pleasant treat to share with our guests the good food prepared by Barrio’s. Can’t wait to order again.

Another home away from home. Cravings always satisfied. Excellent location! I always bring my friends and family who are visiting. Sisig and crispy pata ftw looking forward to some dessert to be added in the future but for now I go to another Filipino cafe for some dessert, still a win-win!

Had a amazing time at Barrios Kitchen & Bar - you can really tell they take pride in their cooking. It’s a quiet and homie feel, and I would go again. I ordered the Pad Thai and my wife ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl both were delicious. A must visit.

Great food, best roast pork in my life. All the dishes were super delicious! Highly recommended!
