"Barra packs a big, refined punch into its small digs that pay homage to bustling Mexico City. On the menu, diners find tetelas, triangle-shaped corn pockets filled with refried beans and Oaxaca cheese alongside aguachile and mini empanadas. Cochinita pibil in banana leaves tastes like the Yucatan; spicy grilled octopus meets black aioli on a crunchy tostada; and a martini can (and should) be made with raicilla. Plus, a divine selection of mezcal and tequila helped earn this bar Eater Boston’s award for best new bar in 2021." - Erika Adams
