What People Are Saying About Barrio Chino
The Editor
Erin Behan

Latin food and drinks dominate the menu, while Chinese fabrics and lantern lights add a touch of the Orient. Despite the bar's small size, the high ceiling gives an open feel, while an impressive array of tequila sits proudly behind the wooden bar. Bartenders use fresh juice for the margaritas, with sugared, not salted rims. Though most people come for drinks, the inexpensive tapas menu balances out the more pricey libations. The guacamole tastes as if it was made just before presentation, and the fish or chicken tacos offer tender tastes of Mexico.

HORRIBLE SERVICE
by Gator12 at Citysearch
I have been to Barrio Chino a few times and never had a real problem with the late and few is ok and reasonable. Nothing special. Went there on a Monday night and was told a 30 minutes. After an hour was told "another 30". After complaining to Joe was not given an apology and was told "too bad" Will never go back.

best Tequila list in town
by karynzinha at Citysearch
This tiny little LES staple is my favorite Mexican place in NYC. Sure, its crowded, and you always have to wait for a table; i saw Sofia Coppola and her entourage turned away because the place was so full. But give your cell # to the friendly bar staff and head across the street to Little Giant for a warm up cocktail. The freshly prepared sangrita served with your Cazadores is worth the wait.
- Pros: perfectly poured margaritas & amazing tilapia tacos
- Cons: waiting for a table

mmm jalapeno margaritas
by NicoleNewYork at Citysearch
Crazy... i've been asked to wait an hour on a Monday night for a table at this place, and I would have done it if i didn't have to get up early for work. That's how good the drinks are- the jalapeno grapefruit margaritas are my favorite.The food is consistently good, and the atmosphere is always cozy and fun.
