“ What to do when the power is out and I can't cook what I had planned for tonight's dinner? We tried a new (to us) restaurant this evening called El Barrio (Zacateros 43). Normally I would write about service, food, and atmosphere first, but with the temperature hovering near 90 the first thing I want to say is they have AIR CONDITIONING! In the middle of an SMA heat wave, it was a godsend. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with some beautiful murals. It is bright, airy, and welcoming. As soon as we sat down the server brought out chips with three different types of salsas. We ordered our drinks (Limonada mineral for each of us, which was fresh squeezed at the bar right behind us) and a side of guacamole while we pondered the menu. The guac was out of this world, some of the best we have had in SMA. For dinner Stacy ordered chicken flautas and I ordered the chimichanga burrito. Stacy said the flautas were amazing and they were stuffed with so much chicken that she couldn't finish them all. The flautas were topped with lettuce, tomatoes, crema, and cheese. The chimichanga burrito was not what I expected, but it was incredibly delicious. I was sorta expecting a burrito with chicken or beef, but this burrito was stuffed with beans, cheese, egg, and a delicious sauce. It was huge and I also couldn't finish my meal. My burrito was served with a side salad of lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado. For dessert we shared the Mexican style flan which was very good. Prices were very reasonable considering the location, the quality, and the quantity of the food. We will be back again soon. Did I mention they had air conditioning? ”
“ Stumbled upon this gem on my way home and boy am I glad! I had a yummy fully stuffed Gordita and a beer for only 110 pesos 5.50 USD!!! They also have happy hour drink specials! Unfortunately I was short on time but I will definitely be back again to try out the rest of the menu. ”
“ I ordered 2 servings of picadillo with rice and whole beans. We also had guacamole with 3 types of salsas that were all worth coming back tomorrow to enjoy again. Service was 10/10, food was 10/10 and the ambiance is stellar! The place is clean and the wait staff are super friendly! Thank you El Barrio for having our family in your establishment!!! ”
“ We loved this restaurant so much that we ate there twice on our short, 4 night stay in San Miguel de Allende. Authentic Mexican food & such friendly service. Can’t recommend enough!!! ”
“ Love this place! Delicious food in a pretty setting. Staff is so friendly. The only thing to prepare for is the extremely loud music playing all the time. It’s difficult to hear conversation but at least the music is usually good. Recommended. ”
“ What a great place! Three very different salsas were served with fresh chips to start. All the tacos were great, guacamole was fresh and excellent, rice pudding had some nice berries on top. Even the plating of the food was nice, with the guacamole encircled by chips that formed a star. The very cold beers were lovely. Clean, bright, high ceiling, great murals painted on the walls. Waiters were very nice and quick. Prices were very fair. Menus also in English if you need them. ”
“ Phenomenal! We got served by Raul and Enrique! They were very hospitable. The tacos were amazing! Alfredo the bartender made us a very special margarita! We will definitely come back! ”
“ We happened upon this lovely little restaurant while strolling the streets of San Miguel on a Sunday. The door was wide open so I peeked in. It looked so clean and authentic, that we decided we needed a snack. We ordered margaritas, ... ”
