We ate here on a Saturday night after a friend suggested it based on reviews she had read. We were not disappointed. The food and drinks are excellent. We got a bunch of appetizers: the yucca - fried to perfection and served with chimichurri aioli and cabbage slaw, the Barrio nachos, and the plátanos. All were excellent and Iâd get them all again. My entree, the pollo tacos were also excellent and had just the right amount of spicy ness to it. And if you like passion fruit, the Paradise City cocktail is amazing... refreshing and sweet, but not too sweet. The portion sizes are perfect... not to big, not too small, so that you can try a lot of different things. The menu is modern and innovative. The food is high quality and made to order...nothing frozen here. If you are a foodie, you will appreciate the freshness and authenticity of ingredients, and the perfect blend of spices, along with an upscale, gourmet & flavor presentation. The service is excellent. At one point, the owner or manager cabe to the table and asked his things were going and if we were celebrating a special occasion. I told him my birthday was coming up. A few minutes later, he returned with a card with 2 complimentary drink vouchers inside. How nice is that?! The space is also lively, especially if you sit toward the back. And the bathroom is especially lovely... yes, I said bathroom. It is super cool and funky, very red, and plastered with various pictures, collages, photos, and magazine images of everything Mexican... from Frida Kahlo, wrestling masks, magazine ads, movie stills, and dia de muerto skulls. Come here for the drinks and atmosphere, stay for the food. The only downside... trying to find parking close by is a real challenge, especially in the summer months. All in all, I would return, even with the hassle of trying to find parking.

It was 2pm on a Sunday, this place was almost full. The exterior does not do justice to what's inside. Huge portions, lots of people having birthday parties, large groups, regulars at the bar. Soccer on tv. The food was dynomite. She got a burrito beef and all the fixings. I got a 23$ meat mix in a smoking hot stone bowl. The waitress asked do I like spicy? I said yes. This thing came out smoking and sizzling! It was delicious. I was also sweating due to the spice. The beers kept coming the chips kept coming. Loved it can't wait to go back. The price was great, very reasonable for the portions.

After driving by this place numerous time I finally decided to stop in. What the heck was I waiting for? The food here is outstanding! The sandwiches we ride were the Cuban and the croquette sandwiches. Tremendous! The oxtail on special and the pork chops looked equally good. Maybe next time. Not much ambience but you come here for the food not the âatmosphereâ. The husband and wife owners are very nice. The food is special and so is this place.
