Although El Barrio was the location for the kick off for the International Burlesque Festival in Vancouver, the food was wonderful. Service was helpful and prompt. We had a variety of dishes and each was tasty and just the right amount of spice. It was not the most luxurious of spots but besides the loud band, it was cheerful. The sangria could have been a little more tasty but the food made up for that.

An unusual spot for a restaurant but it seems that there are some other developments in the neighbourhood. This is close to my favourite grocery as well.
