Listed on Zagat's "8 Must-Try Restaurants in Birmingham, Alabama," El Barrio brings exciting flavors to the local food scene with its take on multi-regional Mexican cuisine. Decorated with vibrant Mexican street art and inventive lighting, the atmosphere is as festive and inviting as the food. With a Southern twist on traditional recipes, this is not your typical 'taco joint'. Expect mash-ups like Grilled Chorizo Meatloaf and Al Pastor tacos (made with chile-marinated pork, pineapple and pickled onion). Eat in the bar area for a more casual night out.

When Time Inc  announced that their tastemaking magazine, Food & Wine, was moving south to Birmingham, Alabama, foodies across the globe took note. Alabama's largest city has become a serious food destination, complete with a thriving food-media industry, and countless award-winning chefs and prominent food professionals dishing out some of the best bites in Birmingham. 

This diverse city has everything from highbrow European-style cuisine to down home southern food. Click through for a taste of why foodies have their eye on Birmingham as a favorite place to go for dining.
