The chips and salsa that was served with our margaritas was quite tasty...some thought it was too greasy...but they were big fresh chips...hot out of the oil...and the salsa was delicious. I always manage to eat an entire meal of chips...and then try to eat dinner. So Happy Hour appetizers are the way for me.
We decided to try the Happy Hour appetizers. Sandy and Willie tried the Barrio Papas con Pollo - Barrio seasoned fried topped with pulled chicken and Oaxaca cheese.
Carol chose the Quesadilla con Pollo - flour tortilla folded with Oaxaca cheese, pulled chicken and spinach.
Jeanne ordered the Barrio Guacamole - The Queen's signature guacamole prepared tableside. I liked the chunkiness of quacamole...but really what I like was the freshness of the ingredients...and the lime taste.
Mike and I ordered the Puerco Verde Cup - slow cooked, Coca Cola and orange marinated pork, topped with green chile, melted Oaxaca cheese, diced onions and cilantro. The pork chunks were succulent...very tasty.
We also ordered the Cocktel de Elote - grilled cor cut form the cob, topped with butter, mayo, aged cortija cheese, Valentina, cilantro and lime. They also served the Elote on the cob...but we thought off the cob would be easier to share. I love Elote...and it didn't disappoint me.
Willie ordered the Pescado Tacos...small beer battered fish, cabbage, pico de gallo, queso fresco and spicy aioli. I would try that when I return.
Food was very unique but so fresh. The wait staff was fabulous.
