Diner notes
4 out of 5
Great food in a sketchy area. Between people yelling at me out of cars, aggressive barking dogs, and semi trucks blowing through stop signs, I didn’t feel particularly safe. However, the pasta at Barrio is incredible. The vodka rigatoni with ground sausage was absolutely perfect and adding burrata only made it more so. You get a ton of burrata for the $5 add-on price and it was probably the best I’ve ever tasted. The pesto pasta was okay, I’m not the biggest pesto fan and it tasted like a mouthful of grass to me. The bread appetizer wasn’t worth it, the bread wasn’t warm and didn’t appear to be freshly baked.

Let's just say... I most definitely will be coming back. Went out this past Friday night to kick off my birthday weekend with best friend after expressing to her that I was in the mood for Italian. I originally wanted to go to the San Antonio Winery but they close at 6pm. 6pm?! On a Friday night? Whatevs. Still in mood for Italian, I did a quick Google search and found this place only 10 minutes away from the Winery. A short drive later, my best friend and I found a row of small and initimate stores and among them Barrio. There was parking across the street, free, which is always nice. The restaurant looked especially cute from the outside and was just as pleasant when we entered. There were a few tables reserved for other guests so we sat the bar and had an appetitizer and drinks until a table opened up. Very cozy set up but seemed to be very bustling as well. Parties as large as 6 to even a solo diner made up the atmosphere. We started off with two appetitizers, a non-alcoholic beverage (they don't have their liquor license yet) and the stars of the show...Vodka Rigatoni with Shrimp (best friend) and the Panchetta Mushroom Carbonera (me). De-lish! Each of ours orders were an healthy serving prompting us to take a to-go box home. The waitress, Debra, super attentive and helpful. Just...everything was enjoyable. Highly recommend.

We are fortunate to have Barrio's in our community. The hand cut noodles were perfection. Both the topo chico drinks were delicious. I love the arugula salad. First time trying the cannolis. They were a balance of crunchy, sweet, and creamy dessert.
