| - Hot dogs are to Happy Dog as tacos are to Barrio!
Barrio has truly been a gift to the East 4th area. It's only been open for a few weeks, but I've been there enough to call myself a regular. You can't beat margs and tacos!
I opted to create my own tacos, which turned out to be fantastic. The green goddess shell was my favorite taco shell. I filled it with all sorts of delicious things - shredded chicken, chihuahua cheese, mango salsa, and onions and cilantro. Try it...I would not lead you astray. I am also a big fan of fish tacos in a soft shell with onions, cilantro and the crema sauce.
Chris got the recommended tacos and was a big fan of the dirty taco, which surprisingly enough is a vegetarian option. Being the meat-eater he is, he opted to add some chorizo to it. If you like spicy, you'll like this.
As far as drinks go, I tried the sangria and was a huge fan. I also had a pear margarita, but found it to be a little too sweet. I'll be trying one of the other margarita flavors next time I go though!
The service was only so-so. We went on opening night and the server, while really friendly, was a little slow and forgot quite a few things. I think she was overwhelmed. Our second trip out, the waitress wasn't really sure of any of the specials.
I am hoping once the weather starts to warm up, they will consider adding a patio to this space. It would be a prime people-watching area during sporting events and concerts!
