    Las Tapias Barria is more than just a restaurant—it’s a true dining experience that we highly recommend. The food is absolutely phenomenal, especially the Monster Quesadilla. The pork was cooked to perfection—tender and full of flavor, practically melting in your mouth. The cheese was perfectly balanced, bringing everything together without overpowering the other ingredients. The real star, though, was the house-made sauce. It featured caramelized jalapeños that were intentionally slightly charred, creating an amazing smoky Mexican flavor that complemented the dish beautifully. The service was just as remarkable as the food. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our meal was perfect, treating us like family and attending to every detail. Their care and kindness made the experience truly special. On top of the incredible service, the value was fantastic. The quality of food and attention we received far exceeded our expectations for the price. The restaurant itself could benefit from a few updates to create a more modern atmosphere, but that doesn’t take away from the exceptional meal and service. The focus here is on the food and hospitality, and both are absolutely perfect. If you’re craving bold flavors and outstanding service, Las Tapias Barria is the place to go. We can’t wait to return!

    Oh my God... Please give this place your business, it's incredible. I just ate a full meal, and I'm sitting here waiting for my second... This is a small piece of heaven. Real talk, the man doing the work is solo taking orders, cooking every dish, and delivering some of the most genuine customer service I have experienced. I am completely floored at how amazing this place is.

    Best Birria in Columbus! The consome has so much flavor, the tortillas keep their texture and the beef is always so juicy and flavorful. This is our go to spot and the best part is they are open late for those late night cravings.

    On New Year's Day I went to Las Tapias with my daughter & my bonus daughter. To our surprise it was open and we had a spectacular experience! This was my first time ever eating Birria Tacos and it was DELICIOUS! Then you dip it into the consomme and it is extraordinary. I also tried the Horchata, also a first for me, and it was so good. Fernando was the nicest, most sincere and passionate person about food and customer service that I have ever met. You can tell he loves what he does and it shows in his warm personality and welcoming customer service manners. I am from the Cincinnati area but I will absolutely visit Fernando again when I am in town. He even made a fresh Horchata for me for my drive back to Cincinnati. ((I wanted to tell him that was an odd way to propose, but the answer is yes - I accept.)) LOL. But seriously, I was very impressed with the food, with Fernando and the entire experience. You simply MUST GO, get some great food and meet a man who really loves making excellent food. I can't wait to go back. PS-this pic was after I had already had one of each taco I ordered. I was so excited to try this that I forgot to take a photo before I got started.
