El Barrio

"Serves arguably the worst white wine sangria I've ever had. Tasted like a very weak screwdriver with a bunch of ice and two sad orange slices. Honestly should be taken off the menu until they can improve it. Chicken tacos were stone cold, beef barbacoa taco was good and hot (likely because it was marinating in the juices so no chance for it to sit and get cold). Inconsistent practices between the restaurant and nightclub aspects of the place. We were turned away just after 1 AM on Saturday night for only having foreign driver's licences (understandable — we didn't know we couldn't use our foreign licences). Returned the next day for lunch armed with our passports since we intended to order alcohol, and we weren't carded at all. Website could be more clear about what events are happening. Wasn't expecting to hear live show tunes in a Latin bar on a Sunday afternoon..."

"As so often way too noisy to be to my liking. When we first arrived one could actually still talk (not having to yell) and understand each other, and I thought that's not too bad. But then they suddenly cranked up the volume mid-song and it was all over. The food was different from standard bar fare, which made for a nice change. The price for beverages is IMHO crazy high."

"extremely disappointing! came in for cocktails during happy hour. Asked the waiter if the local cocktails were included. He said he wasn’t sure so had to check on his iPad. He then got his iPad but was unable to log into it so didn’t actually check. He then said it was just the Latin cocktail. We placed our order. I then asked another waiter and he said they were included, I asked if I could swap as they hadn’t come out yet, he was about to say yes until another waiter interrupted him and told me only if they were not already made. I then explained to her that the other guy told us they weren’t included. She was extremely rude and the original guy came over too who was also extremely rude. However the one waiter who I approached initially did say they would swap it anyway. Went back to the table but put a real sour mood on the atmosphere, so we went to the bar to cancel our order. I would not recommend this place if you are wanting friendly service!!"

"We had a great evening with my friends out. Baby shower Inc dinner and some drinks. The place is very cosy and the staff members are very friendly and welcoming. The food was very average, not enough for me and my friends. I hope they will improve on the size of the meals. Next topic, I still recommend this place to visit. Cheers."
