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!

As someone who is gluten free, El Barrio is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Birmingham. The food, service & atmosphere are always superb. I don't believe I've ever left disappointed. My only complaint is the parking, but they have a dedicated spot for curbside pickup.
