Popular Taco Restaurant To Open Salem Location

SALEM, MA — A popular national taco restaurant is coming to Salem and looking for new team members.

The Cleveland-based Barrio Tacos, with locations throughout the Midwest as well as Haverhill and Portsmouth, NH, is moving into the space at 41 Lafayette Street.

Barrio has received national recognition as a top taco destination and is also known for its wide selection of tequila, whiskey and beer.

Owners describe the restaurants as: "The atmosphere is casual with a unique energy that's created from the combination of our decor, music, and staff."

To become part of that staff those interested are asked to attend a job fair on Wednesday at the Lafayette Street location. The fair runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"Seeking hardworking, creative, fun individuals to join our taco team," the restaurant said.

Barrio is hiring employees for front-of-the-house service positions and back-of-the-house food preparation and related duties.

The Barrio website has added Salem to its list of locations and asks to follow @barrio_salem on Instagram for updates. The site said the planned opening is "Summer 2022."
