I've been to Barrio twice now. Simply put, I do not believe that it is worth the prices that they charge. The first time I went there was with the pseudo boyfriend and he adored his meal, and so I embraced it and loved it. The second time was last night for Dottsy's birthday dinner.
Dottsy and I ordered up the guacamole that everyone raves about. We were unimpressed, as we had huge chunks of avocado in there and have both made our own guacamole and didn't see what the big fuss was about.
I've had the enchiladas suizas and enchiladas de hongas and although they weren't bad- they were not amazing. Not worth the 16 bucks, at all. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't complain about the cost if it tasted like it was worth it, but not so much.
Because it was Dottsy's birthday, they brought her a complimentary flan which we both agreed was pretty tasty flan. So, if you are a flan person, this may be a place to check out. I am not a flan person- too jiggly (which makes me think of what fat looks like on a person's body which stops me from eating it).
The two things that make this place worth going for are the margaritas and the service. The margaritas are 50% tequila and fabulous- I usually just stick to the house margarita and am satisfied. The people that work at Barrio are friendly and cool. I imagine that they all enjoy working there.
I don't really ever need to go back to Barrio, unless I'm craving a serious margarita served up by a cute hipster. I'd go for a drink or two and then go elsewhere for dinner.
