Julio’s Barrio
Saying the name with an accent is fun. The service is
cheerful and
effective if leisurely, the portions are very generous.
The prices are
pretty reasonable and the ambience is nice. Suzi, who
I ate dinner with,
thought that was an inadequate description of the ambience,
but when I
suggested that there were piñatas hanging from the ceiling
she gave me a
long-suffering look. She told me to say that Julio’s Barrio
caters to a
young, trendy crowd. Okay, I said it, Suzi, I hope you’re
happy.
The presentation is pretty standard - I could have done
as well if not
better myself. Julio’s Barrio probably serves the best
Mexican food in
Edmonton, but after having lived in San Diego for a year
and taken an epic
road trip through the American Southwest, Alberta Mexican
food just isn’t
the same.
