Description

Located on arguably the classiest stretch of 12th Avenue - with neighbors like Tavern Law, Plum and Lark - Barrio serves re-imagined, "Northwest-inspired" Mexican cuisine. Despite its moniker, meaning "neighborhood," it's hard to picture this upscale establishment as a local watering hole. It has, however garnered quite a reputation with its Latin-inspired craft cocktails and thoughtfully compiled lunch, dinner and brunch menus. If that double dollar sign is giving you sticker shock, never fear: tacos are $3 each during happy hour.

....okay, so take this as you will, but I believe we have some great food and, if I do say so myself, an amazing staff and a great bar. Dig deeper than margaritas and tacos and you'll see what I mean.
