    Three local Hispanic restaurants named among nation's best


    Three San Antonio restaurants earned slots on Hispanic Magazine's list of the Top 50 Hispanic Restaurants in the country.

    Azuca, El Jarro and Los Barrios restaurants each are sharing the spotlight with some of the country's top restaurants and chefs in New York, Los Angeles and Palm Springs.

    The magazine recognized Azuca for its Nuevo Latino menu, which includes crab cakes, ceviche, coconut shrimp, pasta frontera and salmon jibaro (salmon encrusted with plantain strips and cilantro crab butter). It is located at 713 S. Alamo just south of downtown.

    With more than 30 years of experience under their belts, Arturo and Sandy Cerna dish up traditional items at El Jarro such as tacos, enchiladas and chalupas. However, some of its other signature items include tenderloin chipotle and grilled tuna with cilantro marinade. It is located 13421 San Pedro Ave.

    At Los Barrios, the magazine cited the restaurant's milanesa con papas, cheese enchiladas, chiles rellenos and specialty molé. It is located at 4223 Blanco Road.

    The listing appears in the October 2005 issue of Hispanic Magazine. It is published by Hispanic Publishing Associates LLC in Miami.

    You're probably eating at the one on Redland Rd. They're talking about the one on Blanco Rd.

    Los Barrios isn't bad. I'd rather go to Mexican Manhattan though.

    Eeho on Broadway is the . Henry's Puffy Taco should be on the list. I've taken people from at least 10 states to Henry's and they all go home with dreams of opening their own Puffy Taco joint.

    Los Barrios? Might as well go to Las Palapas.

    Manhattan has gone down hill too. They've put a lot of money into making that place Riverwalk friendly, but have cut corners when it comes to food quality. I used to love going there years ago though. Man, that was some ing good food.

    Rio Rio is the downtown. Blows away the Original and Casa Rio.

    Never been to El Jarro though. I'm gonna have to check that out.

    The Original is perhaps the worst Mexican food I've ever had... and I've had Mexican food in Montana...

    I think the citizens of San Antonio need to band together and pe ion city hall to force The Original to shut down. They are a blight on the reputation of our fine city, unwitting tourists may be lured into the promise of a good San Antonio Tex-Mex meal downtown... only to be tricked into eating that pig slop.

    I suspect The Original is actually owned and operated by people who aim to make San Antonio look bad...

    I've been to Los Barrios twice and both times the service was subpar.

    The service BLOWS at Los Barrios.

    Sarritas on NW Military is actually pretty good.

    To me, every Mexican restaurant we go to in San Antonio is the same -- adequate but not great.

    Los Barrios - decent, but similar quality to the chains of restaurants here

    Mi Tierra - :vomit I think that's probably the most overrated place we've ever been

    Sausalito's - :vomit The worst Mexican food I've had in San Antonio

    La Rosita - same level as Los Barrios

    All and all, I think you could go to Alamo Cafe, Chacho's, or Las Palapas and get similar quality as all of those.

    The only one that I've ever been to in S.A. that was above average is Guajillo's.
