   The food was delightful. Don't expect your typical Mexican restaurant --the focus on Oaxacan food is really special. Servers were very attentive. We enjoyed our meal greatly.

   Highly recommend Cocina De Barrio! The service was excellent and everything we ordered was amazing. Overall large portions and plenty of plant based / vegan options.

   Unassuming from the street when you walk in the restaurant is very vibrant. Great cocktails. Diverse menu options. The birria tacos were delicious. The corn side that came with the salmon was incredible. Memelitas were big and flavorful

   Honestly wasn’t a huge fan of the food. Maybe it was just an off day? The beans and rice were undercooked and everything tasted sort of bland. We got the short rib mole, meletas and molcajete salsa. The mole just tasted like bitter peppers. Meat was cooked well though. Service wise I felt a little rushed and like we weren’t welcomed.

   Amazing food and service. Margaritas were mostly ice so next time ask for light ice

    Yummy food. Expensive though, so prepare for an expensive night out. Noise level is very loud inside- for some reason I found it hard to hear my family at the table.
