The goal

 What is the goal for Barrio in the kitchen?  Chef driven Latin cuisine that always uses the best ingredients available.  As you watch the blog you are going to get to meet people that are truly passionate about what they do and the kitchen is no exception.  Our menu is designed to change so we can use the freshest (local whenever possible) in season, sustainable ingredients.  We are dedicated to the best!

Some Great Press

Good press is always a good thing and it seems to be coming in heavily  for Barrio.  This year we were awarded the best Mexican/Latin Cuisine and Best Happy Hour deals by the Mpls/St. Paul Magazine 2011 "Best of Restaurant" edition.  We also received a "Readers Choice" #1 Best Happy Hour from the same publication.  Want some more accolades?  Here a couple from this week:

We got a great review from Dara at MNMO.com-Minnesota Monthly and I quote:

"Fine-dining-driven Mexican sweeps into downtown Edina. The Chorizo Torta is a decadent, spicy street-food treat and the chicken tinga salad pulls off the rare feat of being a entree salad that isn't the least bit dull."
