Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Food, and service were excellent. The food was seasoned just right. It's not your traditional Mexican food, or Tex Mex variety. It's more gourmet type. The server was very helpful and courteous. Parking was a little challenging but we were able find Parking across the street. I would definitely recommend the Carne Asada plate, and the guacamole, both were delicious!

That wasn’t my first visit to El Barrio. I liked it the one time I went before and decided to go for lunch there today, and I’m glad I did. The server recommended the beef quesadillas, and it was an excellent recommendation. The beef brisket is so tender, juicy, perfectly seasoned and cooked, and the chipotle sauce was the best complement to that dish. A perfect lunch on a dreary day. Will certainly go back to try more dishes.

This was only my second time eating here as I forget how good the food is and how remarkable the service is. I will not forget this time. Our waitress was absolutely amazing! A friend I was eating with spilled her drink, and I feel like before the glass hit the table our waitress was right there with towels. EXCEPTIONAL service!!
