I’m from New York and on the way to the airport, I wanted to find a nice brunch spot somewhere near. I saw the reviews and pictures of this place and thought it would be a great place to try. The moment I come in, I already love the vibe of this place. Not only that but our server was very nice and friendly. We got the Farm Breakfast, Smash Burger, and the Royale Sandwich as our mains, along with the gluten-free blueberry muffin. And let me tell you they were absolutely delicious!! We also ordered a Matcha Latte with oat milk and the Golden Monkey Latte, and the drinks were phenomenal. They were so concentrated and the flavours were so rich, it made me love Matcha. Overall as a person who just was looking for something light to eat on the way back home, this was amazing! Anyone near this area must try this place out! I definitely recommend getting the dishes we got but if you wanna try something else I’m probably sure it won’t disappoint. If I am ever back in town I will definitely be coming back!
El barrio is one of Birminghams restaurants. You can expect to wait on friday and saturday evenings due to the high demand for delicious food at a reasonable price. The servers work harmoniously during busy times and have a streamlined process so that you have the best dining experience. They are gracious about accommodating dietary needs and restrictions which is so welcome due to the Birmingham food scene largely lacking that. The only things that could make them better is gluten free churros on the menu.
Try the queso!
It was our first time going here and the staff was very helpful and explained the menu wonderfully.
Gluten free options!
The host even advised against certain dishes that seemed like they were gluten free but weren't 💓
10/10 would go again! Food was delicious!!!
We are big fans of the food and service. So we asked them to serve 40 of us for a wedding rehearsal dinner in a delightful upstairs venue. We were able to get appetizers served buffet style and a great array of main courses served to each guest. The open bar, was staffed by Mason, who handles special events. He did a fantastic job in the planning and the pouring. As always, the great EastWest staff helped take wonderful care of all our friends and family. They satisfied our vegan, gluten-free and other needs. Highly recommend for a dinner or a gathering.
My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday. We just came in for a good gluten free dessert and they had a couple of options. Jacob at the bar recommended the flourless chocolate cake. It was wonderful! Super moist and flavorful. I wasn’t planning on having a drink but Jacob recommended a chocolate martini and his version was the perfect twist on the original. I loved it! Service was great. Jacob was very personable and a great conversationalist. Can’t wait to come back for a full dinner! 😊
