How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Soups
El Barrio is a downtown Mexican restaurant whose chicken and rice soup is a crowd favorite. The broth takes its depth from a housemade ancho adobo paste, and the bowl comes ready for a dollop of the kitchen's own sour cream and a squeeze of lime, which together land savory, tangy and creamy at once. Order the chicken and rice soup with a side of the cornbread, and look for the seasonal pozole when it is on the menu.

- Mexican
El Barrio fills its downtown room with bright color and a Mexican menu grounded in fresh preparation. Tacos, tostadas, grilled meats, vegetables, and deeply flavored sauces share space with a strong bar, making dinner feel energetic without becoming careless. Seasonal produce and careful seasoning bring freshness to richer dishes, while the colorful room sustains a lively evening pace.

- Burritos
El Barrio's morning burrito translates the downtown restaurant's bright, produce aware Mexican cooking into brunch form. Eggs, potatoes, cheese, and savory fillings arrive tightly wrapped, with house salsa providing acidity and heat. The colorful room and full beverage program make this a sit down choice for a group that wants more than a hurried breakfast.
