Barrio Chino Opens Pop-Up Burger Joint in Kings Cross
Just in time for National Burger Day.
Apparently this Saturday is National Burger Day. We're not sure when that became a thing, exactly, but it is, and here we are. Point is, you've got the green light to make a pig of yourself tomorrow, and we know exactly where you should do it. Turns out Barrio Chino in Kings Cross has some gas left in the grill yet, with the recently shuttered Mexican joint finding new life as a pop-up burger spot.
Shortening its name to Barrio, the temporary venue began service a few weeks back, and is set to continue cooking until at least the end of June. The menu includes standard single and double cheeseburgers, along with more extravagant options like this one made with a mac 'n' cheese patty. Also making an appearance is the mushroom burger from Barrio Cellar, along with a fried chicken number that uses the same recipe as they do at Fei Jai. Turns out co-owner Peter Lew has his fingers in quite a few pies.
In addition to the burgs, Barrio has retained a number of Mexican options, including tacos, quesadillas and barbecue corn. The aptly named Awesome Fries, meanwhile, come smothered in grated cheese and the same special sauce as you'll find in the cheeseburger. As for beverages, they've got a couple of killer shakes, along with margaritas and sangria by the jug.
Barrio is located at 28-30 Bayswater Road, Kings Cross. For more information scope them out on Instagram.
