Have just visited Barcelona for work and was staying round the corner. This small place with a few tables outside and in with the addition of some stools by the bar was the highlight of the trip.

It's run by a mother and son from Mexico City who produce some of the most authentic dishes outside of their home country. The Nachos and Guacamole were exceptional. Nachos were recently fried Tortillas rather than out of a bag, the Guacamole was freshly made for each serving and these combined with Pico de Gallo and melted cheese were exceptional. On my last visit I also tried the Nopales salad - made with fresh cactus leaves - and that also was a revelation.

I tried a variety of their tacos as well, all which were full of flavour, the best being the Poblano which was highly addictive and packed a range of flavours in to each bite.

Alongside the food they also served some.grest margaritas, mezcal and tequila and an unusual combo of tomato juice, spices and beer called a Michelada.

I would recommend El Changarrito to anyone who has even a passing fondness for Mexican cuisine, you will remember this place for a long time.

Had some nachos and some tacos here. Everything was very tasty, the toppings on the nachos were extremely abundant. Washed it all down with cold beer. Split a tres leches afterwards - best dessert we had in a while. All in all it was a delicious meal, in a cute place, at a great price. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the vicinity

my partner and I stopped in for some nachos yesterday. I have not stopped thinking about them since then.

we walked by already today for more but they weren’t open yet 😂

the margaritas were delicious as well. we’ll definitely get more food next time, but I highly recommend the nachos.
excellent distribution of toppings and ratio of guac/cheese to crunchy delicious chips 👌

Our family ate here when we accidentally made reservations for the wrong night at a nearby Italian restaurant. We were starving and walked past Changarrito—I'm glad we stopped. Super friendly staff, and great homemade food. There is one table downstairs, and two small tables upstairs, as well as a couple of seats at the bar. If you get tacos, be sure to get at least 4, as they are small (but super tasty!) Or just get one of the plates...i highly recommend the choriqueso!
