El Barrio is a gem in Birmingham! 🌟 My partner and I visited for lunch, and it was phenomenal. We started with the seasonal guacamole and salsa, both bursting with flavor. For mains, I savored the chicken enchiladas - delicious! The atmosphere is cozy and trendy, perfect for a casual meal, and the service was impeccable.

We also tried their jalapeño margaritas, a must-have! Although we faced a slight wait, it was totally worth it. We can’t wait to dive into more of their menu soon. Highly recommend! 🌮🍹
