Barrio Star (Bankers Hill): Yum!

Got a Living Social Deal for Barrio Star a few months ago and was delighted to have a chance to use it for a revisit (with a friend, since CH declined!).

Ordered:
--Barrio Margarita (relatively low-cal, since fresh lime juice and fresh agave): delish, but not very much of it
--Plantains with chipotle cream (lighter, tastier french fries, essentially)
--chopped Mexican Salad: delicious and very large

--barrio bowl, with tofu; sub power rice for coconut rice (includes coconout chili sauce, power greens, black beans): same thing I got last time; super-delicious, worth returning for again

--pineapple mint agua fresca: yum!

Companion (she is nicknameless, first time going out with her) got steak tacos, which she said were very tasty (though just as small as I had predicted).

With Living Social deal, was not super-cheap but was cheaper than it would have been. Will definitely return! It's so convenient too for a post-meal walk across the Cabrillo Bridge and into the Park and back to burn off some of that margarita!
