Sinanation

My visit to La Barra (250 Broome St. between Ludlow and Orchard) wasn’t planned or based on any recommendation. This tiny restaurant with enormous taste sits quietly on a typical Lower East Side street with emerging denim, thrift and costume jewelry shops sparkling around it.

You’ll enter with little expectations trough a tiny door decorated with a dripping A/C on top of it . Your eyes will be able to examine the whole place within seconds. You’ll wonder what type of food will come out of the open kitchen equipped with a little electric oven, two cooks and a bartender/cashier revolving around it. You’ll know you can’t judge this place by its looks after sustaining yourself so hard not to get a 3rd order of the homemade guacamole spiced up with an extra splash of lemon. The seafood ceviche will grow your appetite and a single order of the steak and shrimp tacos will not be enough to suppress it. They say great gifts come in small boxes. At La Barra great taste comes in small portions.
