[WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT...] BARRIO

WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT... is a recurring column designed in kind for your opinionated asses and our lazy asses.  We're going to pick one Park Slope resto a week and recommend our favorite dish at each.  Are we right?  Are we wrong?  YOU KNOW YOU WANNA WEIGH IN.  

Full disclosure: I may or may not have given my number to a waitress at Barrio (210 7th Ave at 3rd Street, 718-965-4000) when I was drunk once.  And I may or may not have returned months later to see that she was pregnant.  HI, I'M AN IDIOT.  CAN I HAVE A MOJITO POR FAVOR AYAYAYAYAYYYYY.

Regardless of my terrible gaydar and questionable cognitive reasoning skills, this place has got some killer guacamole.  For realsies.  Get an order of it for $7.50 and it's served with warm, homemade corn tortillas.  Amazing.  Next, move onto the Braised Short Rib Taquitos ($8.95).  They're topped with onion, cilantro, and radish, finished off with crema.  Perfection, honestly. 

Keep asking for refills of the chips, salsa, and salsa verde, order up a few beers or one of their delicious margaritas, and you may be able to get out of here on the semi-cheap.

What's your favorite plato at Barrio?

See what I did there?  I injected a SPANISH word into it because I'm talking about their food. BOOM: I'm so cultured.
