A great meal as usual with my girlfriend, who is a Barrio fanatic. Sometimes at made to order places you over do it, but tonight I found the perfect blend of ingredients to make a darn fine taco. And I even gave their special taco a go and it was by far one of the best I've ever had there. It was called the Taco El Pastor. I highly recommend trying it before it's gone.
***Gluten Free Tip*** I also learned tonight that if you're gluten free, they have a special soft corn tortilla that is not on the menu. When you order you can cross off the soft flour and put soft corn on there. The server said it's not on the menu and is just for people "in the know." Consider yourself "in the know" now. I usually just get the hard shell, but this one was way better and I won't be going back to the hard shell.
It was packed per usual. If you've never been to Barrio, be aware that around 6 or 7 pm you will have to wait. There is usually around a 45 minute wait around that time for two. Today their were people hanging out up and down the street.
Our server was one of our favorites. His name is Tim G. according to the check and if you get him, you'll be happy. Super nice and accommodating with just the right amount of humor and wit and most importantly, he was on top of things.
We were boring tonight and did just the plain queso, and guac which are always crowd favorites and they didn't disappoint.
Overall it was a great meal and a great time.
