i absolutely love the poblano cream sauce on their chicken poblano burrito... since the place has changed hands, i've had a solid experience every time i've been.

Been there once for an assortment of tacos and yeah, big improvement over El Fogoncito. Poblanos are good, might have to try that cream sauce/burrito out next time we go, thx for the tip.

well... i happened to have a meeting nearby and tried to go to lunch today and they were closed for maintenance. the sign said they'd be open for dinner, though.

They do taco tuesdays specials. I like them a lot.

That didn’t last too long. Def miss the Mayan that was there before, so 2 business gone in the span of less than 4 years.

The Mayan was pretty good, as was the other taco place that was there before them (I believe it was before, can't remember the name), so it's actually 3 businesses gone.

El Fogoncito was the place that was there before The Mayan, I believe.

El Fog was pretty damn good. Color me shocked the daquiri place closed.

Yes, that was it, and yes, they were really good, better than the Mayan, we thought.

Such a missed opportunity to close this stretch for pedestrian use only which would allow the restaurants to more add patio space. It has virtually no practical value for car traffic other than parking.

Yeah the parking is pretty valuable. There’s no reason to close the street off at this point, density doesn’t justify it. It would hurt businesses more than help them.

The Mayan may have been a victim of its own success. The tacos were great and we loved eating there, but the time it took to get your food was always a bit slow. As word spread and the Mayan got busier, the time to get your food slowed to the point where we stopped going. Not enough kitchen help?

I must say, Barseo is a great name for a bar filling the Daiquiri lounge space. Hoping it comes with a real renovation to the space, but based on the timeline I'm guessing no.

"Coming late winter or early spring Barseo OKC from Blake Wilson and partners. A cocktail bar with excellent bar food . Rendering by Dinnes Studio that isn’t necessarily the final look. It will occupy the former Paseo Daiquiri Lounge space."

Very promising!

Dinnes studio does good work, so that's a good sign.

Thanks for posting this info.

Looks cozy. Hopefully the food and drinks are good and affordable.

I got to try out Barseo (https://barseookc.com/) last night. They offered a 15% discount on food for the Argentina vs. Colombia match. The interior looks great, and they did not skimp on the seating. I spoke with Zach, a co-owner, who told me about all the ideas they have coming up. The food is tasty, and the prices are affordable. It is a great new addition to the district.
