The food is great and won’t hurt your pocket. The staff are fast and hospitable. The salad and burger were awesome. I just wish they had gluten free buns.
Great burger for such a great price! The service here was excellent and the food came very quickly. Also really enjoyed the calamari, super tender and yummy!
Came here on a mother's day. It was so busy. We had to wait 20mins to be seated. The meals were so cheap. My veggie sandwich was less than 10 bucks and I didnt even touch my sandwich, all I finished was the green salad and potato. I was told this restaurant is same as LA Grill.
Great food and amazing prices! But they're not open Sundays...and I swear the hours on Zomato are wrong! We've tried to go a few different days that weren't Sundays and they were closed! Docking half a point because they need to post real hours.
Besides that, food is delicious and cheap! I mean cheeeeaaap!!! Full bacon cheeseburger platter and potatoes and salad for $7 at dinner! That, and $3 pints some days!
Can't go wrong at X-Site, unless they're closed.
Lunch specials!!!!. This is my local, three years running. while the owners have changed, the latin dishes they have kept on the menu are amazing and good value and the cooks are still there. lunch specials at 5 to 6 bucks for huge plate of enchiladas or burrito, a sick deal anywhere in Vancouver. Otheritems like burgers or souvlaki on that menu as well! Super friendly staff too!
Weird decor but the flour less chocolate cake was great and the creme brulee was wonderful.
Giants. We stopped for dinner befor a giants game. Wow, it was great. I had the enchilladas. I heard everything with pork was great and it was! Next time its pork fahitas. Great servers, fun and casual atmosphere. Fresh Guacamolie was very good. All six of us enjoyed our meals.

Fantastic Tacos. Unexpected, little place on Hastings. Outstanding taco appetizer and sangria!
Great neighbourhood eatery. My partner and I love this restaurant, as have the various family members and friends we've taken along to try it. The food is delicious and authentic (I spent the better part of a year in Mexico and this food really resonates as authentic to me). We're especially pleased that the chef and staff at El Barrio are so willing to accommodate special diets. My partner has celiac disease and El Barrio accommodates him beautifully.
Great place to have dinner.. El Barrio is a really great place for having dinner and spend a good time with very friendly staff.

Great Place with Amazing food&Staff. Stop by this place for a drink and some appy's. Great photo's on the walls. The service was incredible everyone was attentive to our every need. We had a pitcher of raven cream ale and the free range bison tacos. The tacos were soo delicious. Very simple almost like we were in Mexico. Fresh chopped onions, cilantro and salsa roja on top of a bed of perfectly cooked bison.. Great appy for the beer. The bartender who is also one of the owners Kelly I believe is his name was such a great guy and super nice. Wish Luis and Kelly the best of luck and thumbs up to their staff. Hasting sunrise needs a fun place like this. We will be back.
El Barrio ROCKS. I had my birthday party of 40 people here, and the staff went over and beyond to make my special night a huge success. And the hight light was Celestial Seasons performing that night.
All of my friends had nothing but positive comments about the food, the staff and of course the entertainment.
When you go there , the staff makes you feel welcomed, its great neighbourhood hang out with a little bit of culture.
Thank you to El Barrio and wish you many more years of success.
El Barrio rocks!. If you want to see fabulous female impersonators, have AMAZING food, fabulous servers, and a chef that personally come to your table to greet you and make you feel welcome, then El Barrio is the place! If I lived in the lower mainland I would be dining here on a regular basis! Upbeat and urban with FABULOUS menu items, this place is friendly, well priced, and a mecca of culture on the East side!
A winner on the east side of Vancouver. We love El Barrio. The food is a fusion of Hispanic cultures all wrapped up into one awesome menu. We have been a few times here and found the food to be fresh and tasty, the service to be great and the entertainment is also classy.

For appetizer, and the most memorable dish of the night: Mussels! A pound of Gorge Inlet mussels tossed in a butter cream ale reduction and ancho peppers.
El Barrio is a restaurant on East Hastings featuring Latin American cuisine in a casual setting. The place looked kind of shabby, but the food was surprisingly high-quality and well-presented. We started off with an appetizer of patatas ($9.95), deep fried potatoes tossed in aioli or chipotle sauce. I opted for aioli as I was worried that chipotle would be too spicy. There was less sauce than I had anticipated, but the potato was fried well and tasted great with the creamy aioli. We were looking at "a la plancha" dishes for the entree, which means the food is grilled on a hot metal plate. We originally wanted to order the tiger prawns, but changed our minds when the waiter told us they had bison a la plancha ($16.95) in lieu of the carne (beef) a la plancha on the menu. Due to lower fat and cholesterol content, the texture of bison meat is a lot denser than beef. It also tastes slightly sweeter and has a stronger meat flavour due to higher levels of iron. The bison was served with 4 co
