About Barrio Garden Grove

They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Visiting California, we decided to stop by Barrio because of the Korean and Filipino Food concept. The location reminds me of Container Park in Vegas and The food cart pod in Oregon. Service was good. She was nice and friendly. I ordered the Pork Liempo. The meat was tender but the flavor lacked. Sigh... Maybe it was an off day. The meat needed salt.
The food here is good, we were disappointed they ran out of salad on a Friday night and it was not even busy ... so it was just the protein and rice. The flavor was good, it's a good portion for just one person.
Barrio Korean-Filipino BBQ offers a unique dining experience that blends the best of both worlds. I recently tried their 2 BBQ pork skewers with steamed rice and Filipino atchara, paired with a refreshing calamansi slushy. The BBQ pork skewers were bursting with flavor, though a bit tougher than expected. However, the rich marinade more than made up for it. The steamed rice was a perfect complement, and the Filipino atchara added a tangy, crunchy element to the meal. The calamansi slushy was a delightful treat, offering a sweet and sour taste that perfectly balanced the savory flavors of the main course. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff. The overall experience at Barrio Korean-Filipino BBQ was superb, making it a great spot for those looking to try something new and delicious.
Greatest find! We were on a trip to Disneyland when we were looking for something different for lunch. Looked up Tea Otter and found that Barrio was part of the same StreelCraft Garden Grove. We are so happy that we tried it. One of the best Filipino foods I have had in awhile. We loved it so much that we have now been four times in the past few months on each of our Anaheim trips. The chicken lumpia is delicious and since I don’t eat pork, they are perfect for me! They come seven to an order and are mini. I tend to not share mine. 😂 I have tried the chicken and shrimp skewers and love them. Add an egg! Also (not photographed) I tried their garlic sauce this last time and will definitely get it again. Delicious!
I waited for over 50 minutes because they mixed up my order, twice. In the end, all for Liempo that was mostly burnt. The atmosphere is loud and chaotic. Overall, I had a really disappointing experience here.
