   We love the flavors at Cocina de Barrio. We have enjoyed their excellent happy hour a few times, and finally came for dinner. We ordered the Memelitas Veganas, Pescado Zarandeadp, and Salmon en Mole Amarillo. Every dish was superb, and the service was excellent!

   The food and service are great here. We had the short rib mole, salmon yellow mole, chicken with green mole, and lamb shank, along with the tableside prepared guacamole.  All of them were delicious although the salmon was overcooked.

    The food was delightful. Don't expect your typical Mexican restaurant --the focus on Oaxacan food is really special. Servers were very attentive. We enjoyed our meal greatly.
