Huge variety of flavours for both mojitos and margaritas

It’s ok. It’s no Wahaca (London). Service was abysmal - wrong order arrived; took ages (loads of tables turned around before us). Excuses given by stag, rather than a sincere apology.

Just the right kind of bustling tequila and mezcal driven vibe.

The Guacamole is incredible. Definitely a must.
Diana MMarch 16, 2011
The calamari taco is underrated! Delicious! But since they're small, do order a side of black beans and cheese.

Be careful, in the context of margaritas, "jalapeno" and "habanero" may sound very similar to your waitress.
Stephen KreickSeptember 17, 2011
Best margaritas. Crazy good flavors like jalapeño, etc. The raspberry one is sexy. Tacos. AMAZING.

Habanero grapefruit margarita is horrendously spicy—but in a good way. Highly recommended.

The sharing platter is a lot of food!

Barrio is one of those rare Manhattan restaurants that is perpetually packed without the constant hype from food blogs.
Erik ZimmermannAugust 14, 2011
Obviously their margaritas are sick. For food, get the Chile En Nogada. It's incredible.
Kayleigh HarringtonApril 10, 2017
Get the enchiladas verde and skip the tacos.

Habanero Grapefruit Margarita is my favorite drink in the city. Drink 3 of them and you'll get weird.
