Barrio Opening This Weekend (More Tacos in Northside)

For months, I've been driving by the former location of Painted Fish on Spring Grove Avenue in Northside, and from time to time I'd see activity as the new proprietors spiff up the place and get ready (we hope!) to open the doors.

Taco truck...Barrio restaurant!

Not more than two weeks ago, Barrio announced an opening date of today, April 12th. But when I drove by a couple of hours ago, the sign on the door still said CLOSED -- although there were worker-types coming and going. Barrio will become the brick-and-mortar location for the folks who've been operating out of the truck pictured here, and known as Taco Azul.
When they do open, they'll have a good location with perhaps the best patio space in the neighborhood -- a 'hood that already has two spots within a short walk that also features tacos.
It remains to be seen whether and what Barrio will add to the mix!

Love our tacos....
