EL BARRIO

Where: 2211 2nd Ave. North, Birmingham.

Hours: 11:30 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesdays-Thursdays, 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays.

Recipe for success: “Most of our menu items are Mexican-inspired, created from an array of regional recipes,’t he El Barrio website says. “However, we are not of Mexican descent, nor do we claim our dishes taste like those you might have in Mexico. We do strive to make everything taste very good, though.”
