Chef Silvana Salcido Esparza of Barrio Cafe has been nominated twice for a prestigious James Beard Foundation award for her authentic Southern Mexican cuisine.
From the restaurant's website:
"Established in 2002 by partners Wendy Gruber and chef Silvana Salcido Esparza, the Barrio was a dream come true for the duo — a little neighborhood eatery providing authentic southern Mexico cuisine and chef's original creations in an unpretentious atmosphere."
Live music Fri–Sun. Full bar. Serving lunch Tue–Fri, dinner Tue–Sun. Sun brunch 11 am–3 pm. Closed Mon.
"Chef Silvana Salcido Esparza, who co-owns Barrio with her partner Wendy Gruber, proves that Mexican food is much, much more than tacos and burritos (though her tacos and burritos are dynamite). Her menu, filled with exotic specialties from all over Mexico, includes cheese fondue from Oaxaca, mole from Puebla and a cochinita pibil (dry-rubbed and slow-roasted pig) from the Yucatan."
