"Reopening on Wednesday, October 14 at Fenway’s Time Out Market Boston (401 Park Dr., Boston), Taqueria el Barrio is a little taco shop from Alex Sáenz and Servio Garcia of Cambridge’s Bisq that got popular quickly — diners adored its Northwest Mexican-style tacos, quesadillas, and more — and it will have its own dedicated stall in the food hall." - Eater Staff
"Here’s a perfect dinner plan on a warm weather day: Order a lineup of fish tacos from northern Mexican hit Taqueria El Barrio — with crispy mahi mahi, crunchy cabbage, pico de gallo, and chipotle mayo — pair it with a beer from nearby Boston brewery Trillium, and devour it all on the sunny outdoor patio." - Erika Adams
"Taqueria el Barrio, which recently relocated from the Boston University area to Fenway’s Time Out Market Boston, serves birria tacos on a choice of local Mi Tierra corn tortillas or the taqueria’s house-made flour tortillas, garnished with onion and cilantro. The beef is made in an adobo of dried chiles, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and spices. “Birria is a staple dish for Mexicans who love tacos and our country’s gastronomy,” says co-owner Servio Garcia, noting that while birria has roots in Jalisco, every state has its own version, and Taqueria el Barrio’s recipe is inspired by the Sonoran one. “We are super excited to have the opportunity to honor our gastronomy by serving it in an authentic way and introducing it to the guests that visit us at Taqueria El Barrio at Time Out Market.” Time Out Market vendors such as Taqueria el Barrio are currently open for indoor and outdoor dining (contactless ordering is available via the Time Out Market app), takeout, and delivery via DoorDash." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Taqueria el Barrio features house-made flour tortillas that can be stuffed with various fillings, including carne asada, fish, birria, vegan chorizo, and more. The Boston Globe’s Devra First praised the 'flavorful, reasonably priced food made with love,' making special note of the torta ahogada and fish and steak tacos. For Boston.com, Erin Kuschner wrote of the smoky, garlicky salsa asada, which she could eat 'by the tubful.' And Eater Boston’s former associate editor Dana Hatic was a particular fan of the cheese quesadilla, a 'sleeper hit.'" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Closed permanently. Served Northwest Mexican-style tacos and more. Some menu items have been appearing at Bisq during the pandemic." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
