Barrio
Barrio is a casual Mexican cantina known for its build-your-own tacos with a variety of vegan fillings like tofu, sweet potatoes, and portobello mushrooms. The venue also serves well-regarded margaritas and chips. While the vegan options are clearly labeled and quite varied, some guests have experienced inconsistent preparation and allergen cross-contamination issues, so a cautious approach to ordering is advised.
