Barrigas Restaurant

Barrigas serves traditional Mexican food in a way popular with people in Juarez, Mexico and from other places as well. Barrigas is located right next door to the El Paseo Hotel Suites on Triunfo de la Republica. Friends had told me it was a good place, so I finally dropped by one Saturday afternoon.

The interior is traditional Mexican with high ceilings. A couple of small dining rooms are available for groups.

One of the specialty of the house dishes is Pachuga Barrigas. This is a plate of thin, very nicely broiled and seasoned chicken breasts served with chiles and avacado to soothe the smartness of the peppers. The cost was roughly $6.50 U.S. (2/2003).

Barrigas has a great deal of variety on the menu, ranging from tacos to pasta to burgers, and it’s all very reasonably priced. Dinner plates were between $8-$10 USD.
