Mi Barrio, which translates to ‘my neighbourhood,’ is run by owners that come from Venezuela, Paraguay and the South and North of Spain. It’s a place that is the unofficial home of Latin American culture in Vienna. The location itself has been a Latin American venue for over 20 years, formerly known as Andino.
The menu boasts some of the tastiest treats from the continent – if you’re feeling adventurous, dive into a lasagna that uses grilled banana’s instead of sheets of pasta, if you’re just a little peckish, order the cheese sticks, but make sure to ask for more sauce, because you won’t be able to get enough of it. If you’re up for something familiar, their selection of Nachos, Burritos and empanadas will more than satisfy your tingling taste buds. Their filled arepa collection is also worth diving into. For those that have no idea what an Arepa is, these trending hand-held taste bombs are made out of ground maize dough and filled with tasty ingredients, like beans, avocado, salsas, and marinated meats.
There’s always a cocktail special during happy hour too, so if you prefer to graze with a buzz – treat yourself to one (or more) of those, then head upstairs to see whatever kind of event is happening in the venue that also belongs to this colourful place.
Good to know… the chances are high that whichever day you go here, there will be live music or dancing happening in one of the three halls.
Also good to know… renting this location for an event is free if they have an available time slot.
