First meal in Toronto after a weekend at the cottage. We decided to check out Barrio Cerveceria, a hipster Mexican spot, which my cousin has been to several times.We dropped in on a Sunday evening (around 7:00pm). There’s a huge patio area where almost everyone was sitting, enjoying the sunny weather. Our server was good and attentive. Brought us multiple refills of water and chips.The menu is split into to share, starters, mains and tacos. Annoyingly, we tried to order the elote callejero (corn) and pierna adobada (lamb) but they were sold out of both dishes. The drink menu is just as large; cocktails, cervezas, wine, margs on rocks, tequila and mezcal.- 2x Show me the passion ($15.00 for 2oz) – cazadores reposado fresh passionfruit, lime juice and ginger-infused agave. You get a shot on top.- Smoking de spice ($14.00) – jaral de berrio mezcal, cointreau, lime juice, morita chilis and house smoked agave peaty scotch with a salt rim.- Guacamole del barrio ($10.00) – guacamole topped with tomato, chopped onion, serrano pepper, cilantro and tortilla chips. Avocado was creamy but they overdid it with the salt.- Ceviche de camarones ($16.00) – lime cured shrimp, jicama, tomato, white onion, avocado and tortilla chips. The ceviche won’t blow you away; it lacked freshness and acidity.- Barrio burrito ($16.00) – roast chicken, rice, beans, cheese, crema and guacamole. Again, too much of a heavy hand with the salt. Pretty small burrito for the price too.- Barrio bowl ($16.00) – we went with beef tinga for the bowl. This was better than the burrito.- Enchilda verde ($18.00) – three fried corn tortillas stuffed with beef tinga and topped with crema, red onion, cotija cheese and rice. The verde sauce was well balanced and the enchiladas were tasty. A small portion unfortunately.- Frito a la cerveza ($17.00 for 3) – we originally ordered two but these were delicious so we ordered another three. The cod was nicely battered and came with an addictive chipotle mayo.- Cochinita pibil ($6.00) – pulled pork shoulder. The grilled chicken was an interesting way to add some sweetness. Good.- Michoacn carnita ($6.00) and tinga ($7.00) – M ordered these for himself. Said both were good.- 2x Pastor ($5.00 each) – stir fried pork with grilled pineapple, white onion, cilantro and salsa fresca.Some good dishes, most were average. Definitely pricey and small portions. Tacos are in the hipster price range. cherrybobombs.wordpress.com
Lots of space and a pvt area upstairs for brunch or dinner etc. Great food with a Mexican twist. Was there for brunch and liked the food and service.
Honestly besides the drinks and the patio, everything else was a bit lack lustre. I was really excited to check this place out as it had such a laid back vibe when I walked by the patio but the service was extremely slow and the tacos weren’t anything to rave about. For the cost of the food and drinks, the value wasn’t there unfortunately.
Tacos are okay. I had the cod Fritos a la cerveza, michoacan carnitas and another meat one that wasn’t that great. Gauc & chip were not worth it. They also messed up our dessert order and brought each of us 3 churros not 3 churros to share. The best part of our meal was the ace hill pilsner beer that they don’t have advertised on their menu yet. I wouldn’t recommend this place and suggest going to La Carnita close by instead.
