Barrio Barista

Great vibe and atmosphere in this place. The Horchata Latte was a little sweet for me, but I usually don't like sweets in general, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I added another couple of espresso shots and finished it off. I will definitely come back and try more items. The barbacoa grilled cheese is on my list.

I had the "westside special" and it was really good, I highly recommend Barrio barista, lots of people there enjoying wifi and reading books, it's a nonchalant restaurant..

This place was a surprised gem. We have always passed this place when we drive down Culebra and have always thought it was a bar. Haha. To our surprise it was not! It was an awesome coffee house and eatery. Very good drinks and the food… so good. Had El Classio… so fresh…

Can't say enough about this local gem. They offer delicious unique cultural flavors. Not to mention, they have a Barbacoa grilled cheese with avocado on Texas toast!! Pet friendly.

The coffee is unique and screams San Antonio with flavors like horchata and Mexican chocolate. There is plenty of space to enjoy your beverages with seating outside on the patio or indoors. You walk up to the register and place your order then they deliver. I got an egg sandwich, which in hind sight I probably should have gotten something more authentic and local because it was very bland. But their coffee is what it’s all about, more so then there food.

Finally got around to trying this place, and unfortunately, don't recommend. The coffee was not good. I ordered two lattes and neither good. I informed the batista and she even tasted it and she agreed it was pungent. She informed the owner and the owner told me it was my taste buds because everything was fine. He refunded my money (although I never asked) but eas rude about it all.

I also ordered the breakfast croissant, and unless you want a really bland, almost school cafeteria style sandwich, I dont recommend this either.

Super disappointed so we didn't get to try this place! Although the hours say they serve until 3PM, it's actually 2PM. That's pretty much the reason for the 3 stars. Hopefully we can come back to San Antonio soon to try it and update our review.

Cute little place with a cozy feel, perfect for a lunch date with some friends. Haven't been since covid but it was a good experience for my first time there. The drink I ordered was delicious and the sandwich with tomato soup was so freaking good. Been dying to come back!

I visited Barrio Barista with a colleague during our lunch hour on a Wednesday and it was great. I had their barbacoa grilled cheese with avocado and tomato basil soup. I had never tried that combination but it’s now a favorite. While we waited for our food we conversed with the owner Gilbert. This is a family business that serves proudly the San Antonio west side. Their coffee is good too. I look forward to stopping by during their Open Mic Jazz night. I recommend this place for the service is great and their food is good too. This ambiance is quaint and cozy.

Super nice place. It's very artsy (artistic). The restaurant was playing jazz music on the speakers. Not very loud. There is a bunch of paintings on the wall. I had the breakfast coruscant and an orange juice (store bought). It is very good. My wife loves the coffee. There is also a patio to enjoy. The atmosphere is great. It's not a Mexican restaurant. Don't expect a wide variety of tacos. When you walk in it doesn't feel like San Antonio or the Westside which is okay. We'll definitely go back. We had a great time.

Coffee is real good Muffins are delicious. They are known for the Westside special which is worth trying. Staff is nice and I think he is the owner is very friendly and he had excellent customer service. Place is relaxing setting.
