Inspired by multi-regional Mexican cuisine, urban design and locally sourced ingredients, El Barrio bridges the gap between the typical Mexican restaurant and a bustling bar and grill. Just one step inside and you’re eyes are met with warm distressed wood, custom iron work and inventive lighting, all contrasted by a huge wall of vibrant mexican street art. Our fresh, inventive menu is brimming wit

h bold flavors and regional classics. Belly up to our outstretched concrete bar or gather with friends in the front lounge area and enjoy a seasonal margarita or local craft beer. That’s how we do it in our barrio.
