Mi Barrio Mexican Restaurant

The pork and chicken tamales are really good. I loved the masa and they were full of meat. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was casual and comfortable, family friendly. Our server was nice, she brought chips and delicious salsa for the table. There wasn't much flavor to the beans and rice but there was some amazing chile verde on the table and that made it perfect. I did not enjoy my beef chimichanga. My problem was with the beef. It literally tasted like canned beef. I can't explain the disappointment because it was a huge chimichanga chuck full of this weird beef. I wished I had ordered the chicken instead, my friend devoured the whole thing. I do recommend this authentic spot. We had a good time. Parking was limited. We parked around the corner and walked up. All in all a good experience.

Incredibly authentic! I spent decades living in Arizona and this felt like we had walked across the border in Nogales for dinner. Prices were high but I've come to expect that here in Atlanta, and I'll happily pay it for this style of Mexican food that I haven't been able to find outside of AZ. When we first arrived there was a sign outside that said cash only. I didn't want to miss the chance to try them so we decided to go in to see if they had an ATM. They didn't but they were able to take cards (she said their internet had been down with lunch service so they weren't able to do cards then and just hadn't taken the sign down). Maybe plan to have cash just in case you get there and they're having issues again. Otherwise double check their hours (kind of all over the place) and stop in for some amazing, authentic Mexican food!
