Cold mariscos with serious sauces: tuna-mango tostadas people claim to dream about.
El Barrilito is the little seafood setup that punches way up: everything fresh from the seafood to the avocado, homemade tortillas under the tacos, plus a salsa roja that flirts with the too-spicy line without crossing it, the kind of sauce work that marks a real mariscos kitchen. The cold bar is the strength: the tuna-with-mango tostada, the diabla tostada, callo aguachile, oysters, plus a shrimp cocktail sized like they respect you. Order the tostadas and cold plates where the kitchen shines and it's an easy recommendation.
Local tips
There's a parking lot just left of the dining tables; no street-circling needed. Order from the cold bar first; that's the house's signature register.
