Barrio

I tried the place for branch and the foods were good-- guacamole was $7 and omlet was $11 or so (does not include drinks), I think it is a bit expensive for branch. There are many many kids and babies, as all the stores and restaurants on seventh av are. We were seated outside and that was more quiet. The waiter was really nice.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is branch?

It's when you eat breakfast and lanch in the same meal.

LOL. Lanch...

Looks like Dunkin' Donuts to me too.

I'll wait. I want many plantains.

I had been eager to try this place since it opened, hoping it would be like a Brooklyn version of Rosa Mexicana, what with the made-to-order guac and all. But it was not as great as I expected. I went Sunday night, a little after 5pm, and there was already a line outside. I had to wait 10 minutes or so, but then we got a nice table outdoors. I ordered the Baked Vegetable Enchillada, and the beans- the whole inside actually- was really dry. The sauce it was in was very good though. My friend ordered the crab appetizer, and that was excellent. I had been looking forward to trying the watermelon mint marguerita, but it was disappointingly small and tasted like watered down watermelon juice; I couldn't detect any mint or booze (I hardly ever drink, so when I do I expect- and like- to feel a little woozy, but this didn't happen here). My friend ordered the agave drink and that was much stronger. Oh yeah, and we of course ordered the guac- medium hot- and it was EXCELENTE! Plus they served a pretty good-sized portion. *This restaurant is very expensive unfortunatly. I mean, the food is good, but definitely not worth what they are charging. I'd be willing to pay a lot of $$ if the food was really top shelf, but it wasn't. Hopefully they will perfect it as time goes by. **The service was great though- the waitress kept popping up to make sure we were taken care of. Though they forgot to serve us the comp chips and salsa (I didn't ask for them because I wanted to save my appetite for dinner). And that, folks, is my review.

By the way, I heard that Barrio's chef (who is kind of famous?) is having a one year contract with the restaurant and will likely to leave after---if you want to try his food here is your chance
