Best Mexican in New York. Best dishes are ceviche, enchiladas verdes, and steak. Margaritas are fresh fruit and delicious. Food is very reasonably priced for the quality. The drinks will set you back, however, if you order more than two while you wait. Never go later than 6 pm -- the wait is not worth it and it's much too crowded.

Food was fantastic, great portions, had fun music in the background. A little tight and a little pricey on the cocktails. FYI Barrio means town and Chino means China...Hence Mexican restaurant in China Town, get it?

You may have to wait 20 minutes to be seated at a table (I recommend a seat at the bar) after 6 o clock, but for a place thats packed every night of the week in an area off the beaten track- there's a good reason. Don't be fooled by the cardboard drinks menus. The grapefruit margarita is a gem as well as the dark ginger mojito. To absorb the alcohol- I recommend the steak tacos and calamari salad.

I went here for a celebration dinner and was greatly dissapointed. We were told it would be 45 min for table, waited an hour and fifteen and weren't attended to at all. The only good thing about the meal were the over priced fruity margaritas. The portions are tiny and way over priced, the place is cramped and over stuffed with people, and just really overrated. We had a poor experience and think there are MUCH better Mexican places in the area. Dont waste your time waiting for table...but if there isnt much of wait I guess you could try it, as long as you aren't hungry for a big meal.

We wandered in here on a Friday night looking for some food and cocktails and were very pleasantly surprised. They have interesting drinks like an habanero margarita which was excellent, and they have some of the best tacos I've had in New York....they are nicely sized, smaller than the standard tortilla, and have interesting touches, like pineapple with the pork al pastor. Give it a try!

the chips are homemade, they have fresh fruit for all the mixed drinks and the salsa is smoking hot..its not a big place and its void of a scene but a great find.

My wife and I have been here many times and have yet to be disappointed. The dark rum mojitos are the best!
