el barrio cantina

El Barrio Cantina is a modern Mexican restaurant on Retro Row along 4th Street in Long Beach, near Bluff Heights. Standouts include a carne asada style ribeye with homemade Sonoran flour tortillas, scallop aguachile and crispy potato tacos. Tequila and mezcal cocktails lead the bar, and the high-ceilinged room shifts from light and airy by day to moody after dark, a natural pick for date night.
