| - It really hurts me to give this place a 3 star rating.
I've walked past Barrio numerous times and admired their beautifully lit patio. I finally made it there early September around 10 pm for a bite. We found a cozy spot on the patio and it was just how I pictured it. Since it was getting late, things were slowly winding down. It wasn't too busy, so I was quite surprised that it took about 10 minutes for someone to notice us. We were ready to order, but you can only imagine how frustrating it is when the server bolts after only taking your drink order, before you can get in a word about your meal!
Anyway, when the drinks arrived, we made sure to submit our food orders. I ordered the tortilla soup, and my friend got the Alambre bowl with chicken. The soup hit the spot, just delicious. The roast chicken Alambre bowl however, was a bit too salty. I only had a taste of it, but I wouldn't order that.
What WAS really good though, were the cocktails. I can't remember what mine was called... but it had smoked chilli inside. It was margarita-like, but made with whiskey I think. I had two of those, and they were amazing! I'll definitely make another trip down to Barrio, and hopefully the service will be a bit better.
