Barrio Tacos

Barrio Tacos, located in Waterford Lakes, has announced it will be closing this weekend for good on Saturday, October 26, 2024.

Ohio-based chain Barrio Tacos opened its Central Florida location two years ago in December 2022, serving up build-your-own tacos, queso, and other appetizers, along with a popular brunch and a menu of tequilas and whiskeys.

The exact reason for Orlando’s closure wasn’t given, but in the announcement, they stated: “It has been a very difficult and emotional time over the past months and we are beyond sad to say goodbye.”

Barrio Waterford Lakes is located at 749 N. Alafaya Trail. As of now, the only other Florida location for the brand will be at 1822 E 7th Ave in Ybor City.

It unfortunately joins a long list of other recently closed restaurants like Pom Pom’s Teahouse, and Jack & Honey.
