Cocina De Barrio is a neighborhood restaurant that focuses on elevated presentation for both drinks and food. The visually stunning cocktails feature fresh flowers, herbs, fancy salts, and dried fruit, although some customers have mentioned that they find them lacking in alcohol content. The spacious restaurant has a large bar area and an open dining concept with long community tables, making it suitable for large groups.
The menu showcases Oaxacan cuisine, with dishes like salsa de molcajete, guacamole with chapulines, and red chilaquiles receiving high praise. Customers recommend the happy hour taco plate and mimosas, along with delicious fish tacos, grilled shrimp tacos, and fresh ceviche. The table side guacamole is also noted as delicious. While the staff is friendly and works as a team, some customers have found the menu a bit confusing for those unfamiliar with authentic Mexican food. Nonetheless, Cocina De Barrio has a positive reputation, thanks to the welcoming hosts and the overall enjoyable dining experience.
