Barrio Chino

For the best damn margaritas this side of the border make your way down to Broome and Orchard. “Barrio Chino”, Spanish for “Chinatown”, serves up some seriously good Mexican food. The guacamole and steak tacos are perfection and if you’re in the mood for something light, the Calamari Salad is always a favorite. With exposed brick walls, dim lighting and ample bar space, Barrio Chino is inviting without any hint of pretention. The large windows lining the west side of the restaurant open to the street, allowing for a great summertime brunch location. Definitely expect to wait at least 30 minutes to be seated on a busy night. But, after one taste of that sweet, sweet, ambrosia that is their grapefruit margarita, you’d be fine with waiting an hour. Trust me.
