Barrios is the spot. I come here at least once a week for happy hour, and honestly, I don't see that changing anytime soon. The vibe is always great; the service and food are solid.
First off, their Frozen Avocado Drink is something special. It's not what you'd expect; it's super smooth, icy, and refreshing with a bright lime flavor. It doesn't taste like avocado; it's just creamy and light in the best way possible.
As for the food, I've eaten my way through the menu, and I have some clear favorites:
-Beef Skirt Adobo Fajitas - Packed with flavor, perfectly cooked.
-Lamb Barbacoa & Pork Cheek Tacos - Juicy, tender, and worth it.
-Braised Beef Short Rib Enchiladas & Short Rib Tinga Chalupa - If you love short rib, do yourself a favor and order these.
- Steak Quesadilla - Simple but done so right. It's cheesy and crispy, and I always end up with leftovers for the next day, which is a win.
-Lawson Taco Salad - Surprisingly filling and super fresh. (You can also add on different meats for an additional $)
And let's talk about dessert, their Grilled Pineapple Tres Leches. Hands down, the best tres leches I've ever had. The grilled pineapple adds this caramelized sweetness that takes it to another level. It's rich, moist, and the perfect way to end the meal.
But honestly, the biggest reason I keep coming back? The homemade chips and salsa. They serve warm, crispy chips with a smoky salsa that I could drink straight from the bowl. It's that good. I'd probably still come here just for the chips and salsa alone.
