4223 Blanco Road, (210) 732-6017, losbarriosrestaurant.com
Los Barrios has gotten plenty of Food Network attention thanks to celebrity chef Bobby Flay. On the second episode of FoodNation with Bobby Flay, he visited restaurants across the Alamo City, some of which have since closed. At Los Barrios, Flay cooked with chef/owner Diana Barrios-Treviño and prepared a “Tex-Mex Fiesta.” On the “Puffy Tacos” episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay, he learned all about puffy tacos as Los Barrios is famous for its shredded chicken taco. Flay ended up losing to the San Antonio chef because he didn’t use fresh masa.
