Agreed - Barrio just means neighborhood or district. In fact Barrio Norte in Buenos Aires is a reasonably nice neighborhood.

Oh no! Here we go again with the people freaking about the name! I agree, well said misstake. I grew up in a mostly hispanic part of Denver that was often referred to as "the barrio" and the name was used as a symbol of pride for those of us who lived there People in Seattle are just WAY too uptight.

I want that one taco truck on Rainier to clone itself and set up on 12th. THAT would be a good day.

Well said, misstake. It would be great to have some Purple-quality Mexican cuisine, I hope for the best!

Barrio doesn't mean "ghetto", no matter what unfortunate mental associations you may have. I just means neighborhood. I hope the food is good!
