    Nice happy hour specials except the premium margarita I like is still $9 ... But the food deals are generous and nice price. The guacamole is perfect.

    A classic margarita on the rocks is the way to tell if the place is authentic, and let me tell you this margarita is one of the best I’ve ever had! Love love love this place. Carnitas!

    One of the better tasting Corn Chowders I've eaten. Also, they made it look like a piece of art that should be in a gallery instead of on a dinner table.

    Following the success of their initial Nicollet Mall location, Barrio's Lowertown location offers more of the same -- and good thing, too. Read more

    The tortilla chips are great with the fancy salsas. The guacamole is even worth the price. Corn soup is also really nice.

    Not surprising the specialty is tequila! If you are a connoisseur, you will be in heaven. If you love your tequila mixed, the Caesar Chavez Margarita is amazing. After dinner, the dance floor opens. Read more

    They open up a dance floor and bring in a DJ after hours... One of the best spots in Lowertown after 10 p.m. or so.

    Tequila! Beware thoigh, on busy nights the service takes a sharp nose dive, but the music and dance floor sure helps pass the time.

    Pick a random number between 1 and 134. You won't be disappointed. If Steve tries to get you to eat the scorpion take him up in it (It's crunchy)!

    This place is a mess. Appetizer comes after your meal. Wait 10 minutes at table for server to acknowledge you. Organization lacking. Will not return
