Barrio serves modern, healthy grill feat. marinated meats and fresh seafood, coconut ahi tuna ceviche, & house made calamansi slush! Coming to Garden Grove.

Barrio (@ocbarrio), the brainchild of the husband and wife duo behind Pueblo in Costa Mesa, is the final concept to join the SteelCraft Garden Grove tenant lineup. Barrio has the timeless and homey feel of Filipino BBQ while taking it to a healthier, elevated level for modern diners.

Founder, Adam Go shared, “We are such believers of food’s ability to bring people together and we would argue there is no place this is more true than in the Philippines. As a born-and-bred Filipino, I have first-hand experience with the joys and pleasures in eating and sharing delicious food with family and friends.”

Ever since they were married on a Philippine island a few years ago, Adam and Sharon Go have had this restaurant idea brewing in the forefront of their minds.

All entrées will be fresh off the grill—Snake River kurobuta pork skewers or free-range organic chicken skewers as the staples, as well as grilled Atlantic salmon or wild Mexican shrimp—served with either a special garlicky rice-quinoa blend or a simply dressed salad and and fried egg. Each plate will include papaya and mango relish and an assortment of house-made sauces. As an appetizer, Barrio will serve Filipino ceviche called ‘Kinilaw.’ Barrio’s refreshing, homemade calamansi (a Philippine citrus) slushie will wash it all down.

SteelCraft founder Kimberly Gros said, “We knew they were the perfect fit for the last space when we saw the thoughtfulness they put into everything on their menu. Barrio is more than an idea for a restaurant; It’s a little taste of their life together.”

Barrio’s entire main menu is gluten-free, dairy-free, and made from the most natural ingredients possible.
