"Downtown Birmingham has no shortage of restaurants or bars, but El Barrio stands above its competitors. The inventive menu is inspired by multi-regional Mexican cuisine, while the atmosphere and beverage selection give a sophisticated air. El Barrio is truly a cut above the rest. It’s best to plan ahead for an outing here or prepare to wait in line for lunch, dinner, or brunch, because the restaurant doesn’t take reservations." - Sarra Sedghi
