Barrio Chino
Local favorite, Barrio Chino, sits in the heart of the Lower Lower East Side. Its name (which means Chinese hood) is inspired by the neighborhood known for its immigrant heritage -Â where today Chinese, Latino and hipster cultures meet.
The communal interior is accented by chinoiserie decor of paper lanterns and dynastic portraiture. The menu is authentic Mexican with over 50 varieties of agave tequila meant for sipping, antojitos appetizers of tacos and one of the best guacamoles in town.

Barrio Chino… love it! Great food, great drinks rubbing elbows with celebs… what’s not to love?
Oh yeah…. the hour plus wait time.
Get there early or don’t go.
