Who doesn't love tacos? (well... as it turns out, one person from my group, but anyway back to the review) About 11 friends and I skipped in before last call, thrilled to find food after a bar crawl that could appease most of our crowd. So what does a somewhat tipsy crowd need after a loud night out? Cheap, tasty tacos, and a lot of water (plus a few more beers).
The beer list was amazing - the beer snobs and the beer confused were all equally happy. Our waitress was friendly and helpful after a Friday night crowd, so I'm sure that we saw her at her complete worst (and we still thought she was amazing). The crowd next to us kept posing for picture after picture, and she even offered to take their pictures (joke had to be on her because once she took one, they had to keep taking a multitude of pictures). The waitress explained the menu like one would to a toddler (which to be fair, your average toddler has more brain power than one in our group), which was actually way appreciated.
The guac did look like it was at the end of its night, which to be fair it likely was. It was dished up in little plastic cups and I noticed not just mine but my friend's was brown on top. It was still tasty, and I don't know that anyone else noticed the slightly off color - which is normal and what guac tends to do if it isn't super fresh.
Our food came out fairly quick, and the server was happily dishing out extra water. While I'm not usually one to frequent downtown, especially for a drink, Barrio hit the spot. Despite being after 1am, they weren't completely full (I don't often get to the other Barrio due to the wait).
