Sentiment analysis: Mostly empty on a Sunday Panthers afternoon?? Should've been first clue. Seated next to the only other table in restaurant, almost same time. The server took forever to do anything and combined our tables requests but didn't execute very well. My son ordered a kids sized shake - the other table got it and it was regular sized (I didn't see the bill so I don't know what we were charged). We ordered first - they got their food first. We asked for boxes and check first - other table served bills and boxes first. Mind you, every time he "combined" our requests he'd take care of the other table and disappear for a few minutes. The appetizer plates had food dried to it.

Sentiment analysis: Prepare for a shift in perspective... Too many times, Mexican food is rather typical. In fact it's likely that, with few variances and exceptions, predictions prevail. Not that Mexican food isn't super tasty, because it is. It's just that it isn't usually served with much explosive flair or out-of-the-box creativity. (I mean, we've all come to know what to expect.) That is until you've visited the Barrio Cafe. When here, forget what you've known, what you've grown up with. At the Barrio, Chef Silvana's sophistication and assertiveness with the culinary traditions of Mexican cuisine challenges any and all notions of south-of-the-border authenticity. Imagine: apples, pears, dried apricots and pecans nesting harmoniously amidst savory chicken, enveloped in a roasted poblano pepper and finished with a light almond sauce, the colors of the Mexican flag (cilantro, queso fresco, and pomegranate seeds) artfully decorating the myriad of flavors... "Chiles en Nogada," as explored by Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," is the signature dish that brought me to the artistry of the Barrio. And it is also the "Chiles en Nogada" that has forever now changed what I thought Mexican cuisine could actually be. Chef Silvana certainly has an eye for presentation. To visit Barrio Cafe is to appreciate that vision.

Sentiment analysis: Loved this place! We took the boys and they had no problem w/ children in the restaurant. The boys loved our server and his handlebar mustache! My oldest obliterated his pizza and my youngest finished his chicken fingers when we left. I had a ham sandwhich. I think it came w/ gouda...but it came w/ the apple dipping sauce! MMMmmmmmm! I annihalated that sandwhich. Oh, it came w/ a side of voodoo fries, which were yummy. Hubs had the salmon and loved it. We will definitely be back.
